I've had my 2016 Gen Coupe GT for 4 years still love it to this day, 0 regrets buying it. I've had no issues with reliability (knock on wood), I have done oil changes every 4-5k kms and brake pads once that's it for maintenance so far since owning. I like the fact that these aren't on every street like Mustangs/Camaro's. they stand out a bit with some decent wheels on them.

that’s great to hear!! And exactly!! The looks and exhaust sound is what got me to buy one!

Here's the entire video to save you time; new car buyer bought a pre-owned car. He is basically saying you should purchase a new 2024-2025 model vehicle and is surprised there is wear and tear on a 2016. (9 model year old car.)

Every Genesis coupe owner, regardless of engine size, need to be using at least a 40 viscosity oil and the 3.8 could use a 50

The reason why you have a squeaking noise on the passenger footwells is the welds on the right front spar. it is necessary to drill and reweld the 3 thicknesses

Owned a 2013 touring for a number of year, traded it in on a larger 2019 rav 4. I absolutely plan to rebuy an Rspec as a second car. Loved that thing, and honestly the maneul is the way to go. If I can find it in blue or yellow it's on! As mentioned, there is less modding done, so your car would be a better option used, less kids tinkering with whatever on a budget. It's a fantastic car to buy in 2024. 370z is more expensive, and I see them everywhere. Finding one with half decent milage it's. Ore expensive for something in a manual. Same performance just about anyways.

My 15 doesn’t make a sound, 77k miles and my paint is impeccable. Former owner or dealer definitely burned the clear coat off your spoiler along with a lot of sun because that rarely happens (I’m in KC btw so there’s plenty of sun and salty roads here). Finally found a 2021 G90 and man I looove it!! Keep up the content man!!

Real reasons not to: timing chain failure/issues, its a gdi motor= garbage, they tend to blow up around 100k+ miles when you tune them, the manual version has issues with gear lockout and grinding, every exterior seal leaks, interior isn’t the best quality, tends to wear quickly. The 2.0t is a worse option, that 2.0 in them is also in the Hyundai sonata and they blow up all the time just stock, they also have timing chain issues even worse than the 3.8, they have potential to make good power but again it’s a terribly designed motor, they also tend to burn tons of oil later on.

@none6369 18 күн бұрын

Kia/hyundai cars are built very badly in general(ask me how I know) they have a very long history of their motors blowing up and their cars catching fire, I honestly have no idea how they’re still in business. My local Kia dealership has replaced up to 130 motors in their cars just in one month under warranty because of premature failure. The Genesis coupe is a cool concept but owning one is a nightmare waiting to happen.

The only thing I’d agree with in This video is the cost of modding the 3.8 for power and the paint everything else is just sounding like the guy regrets buying his genesis but I love my 3.8 and when I’m done installing my turbo kit I’ll be having more fun with the car and it’s a very unique car stands out from regular American or JDM when going out obviously it’s no hyper car or anything like that but where I live it stands out

For anyone who is curious about buying a Genesis Coupe, don't buy one. I have a stock 2016 Genesis Coupe 3.8. I plan to save up money, sell my car someday, and purchase a 2019-2021 BMW M240i xDrive. If I get enough money, I will skip that and get the new G87 M2. 348 horsepower was nice to experience, but I'm ready for the next level. There is no point adding a Remnant Performance turbo kit. Everyone blows up their cars. Even people with built engines have destroyed them. It's pointless. If I had a 2013-2014 BK2 Genesis Coupe 2.0, I would consider keeping the car and having it built in the future to make 700whp. As of right now, I see no point in keeping the 3.8, and I've owned the car since 2017 or 2018. My family helped me get the car when I was still in school. My mitsubishi mirage kept breaking down every other week. Again, it's nice for my first "fast" car, but the newer cars are simply faster and have better engines. Even the Genesis G70 has a better and more powerful engine. That engine should have been in the Genesis Coupe. If you're in high school and looking for a first car, Genesis Coupes are fine. Just make sure it is a 2013-2014 Genesis Coupe 2.0 and not the 3.8. Don't ask why. If you have the money, skip all Hyundai and Genesis cars and get something better.

@Bk2.Kantrell 5 ай бұрын

U make some valid points but I don’t think people shouldn’t get the car just because people are blowing engines. The majority of the time the engines blow due to low oil and lack of maintenance. Idk much about the turbo kits and stuff but I do know that the engines have to be built up to handle a certain amount of power, even the 2.0s. Does this platform make the most hp out of a stock engine? probably not. But it is still a good car to mod and drive around especially if you can find one that’s been taking care of/ not ran through and at a good price. For me I do not plan to go crazy besides FBO due to it being my daily Btw m2 and m240i 👌🏾I hope u get it soon.
