My first car was a gen 2 Tibby and I distinctly remember the lack of aftermarket support for it 10 years ago. Glad to hear that's (slowly) changing for Hyundai's current models!

[@Seoanee]

I remember in highschool when a bunch of us started getting cars and throwing car meets at our local In N Out parking lot a group of guys drove Tiburons. Like 3 or 4 of em. They were all lowered(probably with cut springs lol) and on reps with some big exhaust and an intake. I was in the honda crowd at the time and we would all race on the outside of town. The Tiburon guys had cool looking cars, but they were so slow and handled like shit. I drove one up the Ortega highway while a friend drove my EF hatchback and he was so confused at how my 88 hatch built like a box was so much more nimble than his Tibby. All in all, they're cool to look at but god they were just so outclassed by nearly everything else in the same price range and even most cars that were far cheaper.

It was still built really cheap, with corners cut on materials, manufacturing, and component design. I mainly cite weak bushings, and in some cases an entire lack thereof (only one differential mount bushing where there should obviously be two), poor quality control, and a meh manual transmission in the first generation genny. They were definitely still in their cheapo era. I've driven and worked on them before, and just recently a friend and I replaced a control arm that snapped as he was parking his car, not a good look. Just for the record, this isn't an attack on the Genesis, they do handle great, look good, and have plenty of power for the time. Just wanted to share a portion of why I thought it failed.

[@rars0n]

One thing you failed to mention is that Hyundai owns and operates their own steel foundries, unlike any other car manufacturer that I'm aware of. This is key to Hyundai's movement towards manufacturing better cars and being able to compete in overall quality while still undercutting the competition on price. They are able to make their own alloys and use them in places where they matter most, to maximize the strength and quality of the base chassis design. Hyundai's overall quality started improving drastically in the late 2000's. Honestly I think the Genesis coupe is a great-looking car. It doesn't stand out as much as a 350Z or Mustang, but there's a lot fewer of them on the road and I think they look a bit more interesting than either alternative (although the current Mustang is a really great car). I always wanted one, and to be honest, I still do.

[@cheez1012]

Mitsubishi has many segments in its company that makes other components. They don't only make cars. My opinion on the Genesis coupe of the 2000's is that the design was ripped off from the Infiniti and Genesis hasn't improved much from there.

Imo I thought the genesis was one of the coolest cars to hit the street! I remember when I first started seeing them, I didn't know what I was looking at because they were modified and de-badged! But one things for sure I never would of thought it was a Hyundai, I think ultimately what killed the genesis was the Hyundai name attached to it, the genesis was like the new kid on the court wearing AND-1 when everyone else is wearing Nike or Adidas, but he could actually play good but no one really wanted to give him a chance because of what he was wearing 😔... I think that that's what the Hyundai name to the genesis 🥺

[@sammybussey4066]

[@redbaron6805]

Never mind that Hyundai's including the Genesis suffer brutal depreciation. You better love that car as if you didn't put 50% down, you can't even get rid of it. My brother bought his Genesis for around $30k and it was barely over a year old. The MSRP was like $53000. Over 40% depreciation in one year is definitely something many people have run into like a brick wall. Whatever you do, never under any circumstances buy one new.

i think its worth mentioning that in 2013, the gen coupe got a second generation. with a ~50hp bump to both engine options, and (debatably) improved styling, the car got a much needed refresh that helped to boost its reputation. it didnt turn it into a legend overnight, but its still pretty neat.

[@BuBornham]

Not mentioned in the video, which I think is worth noting if you're not a horsepower-chasing person - the V6 Gen Coupes sound so good stock, and with a simple catback they sound great. Can't say the same for the Nissan Z coupes. That engine sounds like poop.

As an owner of a 2014 sonata, I love the thing! Living in a cold climate presents major issues, but I haven’t had those. This year I could not get snow tires and the sonata has held up great handing on sport radials from a Stinger GT. The power is good and the engine is very reliable.

234,000 miles on my 2013 Elantra GT, the hatchback. Leather, panoramic roof, manual 6 speed tranny. I have replaced brake pads, tires, and a battery. After almost 10 years, a crank position sensor died, costing me almost $20. I love this car!! I may have a synchro dying, but I can fiddle my way around the problem for now. Bought an Accent hatch at the exact same time, and while it has half the milage, it has also been an amazing investment in requiring only basic maintenance.

They did replace the engine under recall, even with us having 120000 miles in it. The reason for the motor locking up was due to a faulty machine process on the engine block from the factory that would cause premature main bearings failure. Only a number where affected. So be careful when buying earlier model 2.0l turbo engines from Hyundai. But if u do. Make sure u have the knock sensor recall installed or otherwise they will not cover it. Dealer told me they had to reject multiple customers on the recall of the engine due to them not having the knock sensors taken care of.

The scoupe is pretty awesome! A buddy of mine has a couple of them. One has a built motor with bigger turbo, bigger injectors intercooler etc. That things a beast!

My first car was a 2012 genesis coupe 2.0t and I regret selling it everyday. It was a fantastic car that was fun to drive and easily modifiable, learned how to wrench on mine. Throw some wider tires and bolt ons into one and they are awesome!

Rarely comment on YT. You are spot on about Hyundai, the past, the present, and future. Very cool for sure.

They’re clawing it back nowadays. Especially with Genesis!
