The marketing for the GC sucked. I did not even know the car existed before February of 2013. There just happened to be a Hyundai dealership next to the Toyota dealership where I was test driving the new FR-S. I saw a '13 Genesis Coupe sitting out front and stopped to check it out. I ordered my 2.0T that afternoon.

Yeah but now the industry is slowly shifting to EV and hybrids, so were I a CEO of Genesis - I would be keeping a close eye on Hyundai's N74 concept.

Hope you reply but how's your over all maintenance, I've hear there turbos go out frequently?? , I'm trying to decide between a g37 or a genesis coupe

[@SPLRAPTOR]

@@kevinzaragoza9117 I bought a 2014 2.0t r-spec with 68k on the odo and couldn't be happier. It has some rattles and quirks just like any other car. The rattles were concerning at first but they're "normal". The turbos that did go bad usually went early on, for mine it had been replaced at 42k miles, but i'm also pretty sure the previous owner ran it hard and probably wasn't changing his oil regularly. Just run good oil, do oil changes every 3k, change/wash filters regularly, put better fluids in the transmission & diff and she outta be golden. Also highly recommend an oil catch can be installed, especially if you live in an area with really cold winters. Super easy and cheap diy project that can help prolong the engines' health.

Bought my 2012 3.8 R-Spec brand new a decade ago. Great cars...I've only had ONE serious issue out of it in all these years. The clutch wouldn't come back up when I pressed it. I took it to the dealership, they took the car to the back, fixed it, and sent me on my way. No hassling over warranty or any other nonsense. I would 100% buy another coupe if they re-released it.

Good video! When my previous car became too much to handle, I decided I wanted something else. I spent over a year looking for a V6 manual Genesis Coupe. I spent a lot of time on Carvana as you mentioned. Everytime a Genesis Coupe popped up, it was sold within hours and I couldn't get my hands on one. I forgot that the Genesis sedans had V8 options at the time and I stumbled across a 2012 4.6L sedan. It was at an Infiniti dealer in the lot with a sticker that said "not for sale" but I immediately called the Infiniti dealer and told them to hold it for me. She only had 22k miles on her. I LOVE owning weird obscure cars, I've owned a lot in my day. I REALLLLLY love the Genesis models in particular. I was dreaming of a V6 manual Genesis Coupe but my one stipulation for getting a car that was automatic, is that it had to be a V8 and I got it. I still would like to own a Genesis Coupe with a manual trans. I wish Hyundai would continue to make the coupe!

I love how you explain the KDM Curse as a one reason or another almost like no one knows why people try it and then always go back. Then from 10:23 to 10:35 and from 11:15 to 11:35 you go on to explain EXACTLY why the KDM Curse is a thing. Even though a curse is usually something you cant control. Its like they always make something that on paper SEEMS GREAT, but skip or cheap out on all the little things that add up to a less than great total experience. Like the 2.0T not giving full boost until the oil temp hit 180 degrees (which on a winter day would never happen). Sure they eventually released a software update that lowered it but a lot of early adopters had to deal with it for a few years before they got around to fixing it. The main issues I had were the shifter rattle, wastegate rattle, seatbelt issues (it wouldn't register that my seatbelt was buckled and would ding the entire hour drive to work, it finally got fixed after 3 trips to the dealer) , and the absolutely atrocious amount of rev hang . The oil temp, wastegate rattle, and rev hang were easily fixed with a tune, but I shouldn't HAVE to tune a brand new car to fix issues that honestly shouldn't be there from the factory. So while none of these things individually were deal breakers, added all together it just felt like a poorly executed jack of all trades master of none sports coupe. I bought mine brand new when the first bk2s hit the lots in 2012 and I sold it in 2017. While it was a good looking (I know that's subjective), fun, and (after FBO, turbo upgrade, and a tune) relatively quick little car, I have never missed it. The only time I have ever even considered buying another one was when i came across an LS3/TR6060 (swapped from a wrecked 2011 Camaro) BK2. There are just too many other cars in the same relative price range these days that are faster, handle better, have far more aftermarket support, and have far fewer compromises built in.

I remember seeing my first Genesis in a parking lot of a private airport. Had the wing badge and for the longest time i kept thinking that cool looking sports car had to be like an Aston Martin or maybe Genesis was its own luxury car brand. I was blown away to find out it was a Hyundai because it truly does look like a luxury sports car. Now i finally bought one, a 2012 2.0t bone stock from the first owner with 97k miles. It turns heads alot and you can probably guess what my first mod is going to be 😅 I feel like the fact that people don't talk about these cars much only adds to that mystery and curiosity like how i felt when i first saw one. Kinda feels like you're part of an exclusive club of rare car owners ngl. This car is definitely getting the royal treatment from me. Only the best oils and parts for this one (:

I felt the same way when I saw the first one at my local scrap yard with a blown engine.

I own a 2012 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Rspec and I love it. It's my only car, I drive it every day, and haven't once regretted it. I'm even revamping proper easy to use brackets for headlight modifications because by the time I got my car, they didn't exist for the first generation anymore. I even finally fixed a few deferred maintenance items so now in my eyes it is nearly a perfect car as far as how Hyundai designed it to be.

Hope you reply but how's your over all maintenance, I've hear there turbos go out frequently?? , I'm trying to decide between a g37 or a genesis coupe

I personally would love to see this car come back always thought it was a beautiful looking car especially for the PRICE. Speaking of price at the end you mentioned how cars are expensive lately and I would love to see a video over that. Also your videos are always on point but DAMN was this one funny 😂. Great job Alex and the editing team! 😁

The Genny was the car I fell in love with and dreamed about getting when I was 16 years. Graduated high school and was able to score a 73k mile 2011 2.0T for 13k sticker price but a very sad 14% apr rate for 6 years. 5 years later, the car is paid off and sitting at 110k miles with a few mods and I have loved every single thing about it and can forgive the defects she has. Haven't had any issues besides the transmission feeling like it's slipping a lil but we all know them auto trannys suck! Will forever love my first car!!

[@colincrippin375]

I have 2012 5sp Auto, and I had auto transmission problems in the past. It just turned out to be low on ATF because of a leak from a cooler line. An AAMCO fixed it all up for only $110. The trans has been doing perfect since then for almost a year now. DO NOT take your Genesis Coupe to a dealer to service at all. The dealer I went to charged me $150 to tell me I needed a new transmission, which was complete bullshit. They were definitely trying to get me to trade in my car to sell. It was really fucking fishy.

[@colincrippin375]

Since Genesis Coupes are rare and sell fast and well, dealers seem to be doing anything to get their hands on them.

[@MrCheeseCarrillo]

@@colincrippin375 I changed my ATF not too long ago and saw it was pretty dirty and smelled a little burnt. Not a good sign but a week later I was changing my coolant and realized my trans cooler lines were busted, bent lines causing it to leak! I changed it and since then my ATF has remained pretty clean, checked after maybe a week or 2. Hopefully that was my issue!

I'm tired of seeing the wrx, miata, mustang, brz, challengers as the go-to build car. I almost feel the need to buy another one just to use as parts for when my current one needs stuff

[@thematrix3431]

I've had my 2013 2.oT since 2014 and have not had ONE issue with it with the exception of my Cat Conv. going bad (mine was a flood salvage I got for 11k with TT&L so I could see how a cat might go bad if it sat in water for a while lol) It had 26k miles when I bought it and we are at 120k now. It's been an absolute freaking blast. I absolutely LOVE that you don't see it around that much and LOVE that anyone who has one knows when you've modified yours. I tell everyone that if for ANY reason, Venom (my Genesis) didn't make it, I'd buy the exact same car. It's not even a question. It' s just such a dope vehicle.

[@thematrix3431]

The ONLY things I dislike about the Genesis is: 1. mine kind of creaks and groans. Idk if that's a mine specifically thing, but the chassis feels like it's tired lol 2. The aftermarket community is not huge 3. The Traction Control is massively invasive. Gotta turn that off

Coming from a Gen2 2.0T owner, I absolutely love the cars man. The car definitely has its respective pros and cons but overall it is, or atleast it was until this new market showed up, very well built machine for what you paid. Coming up on seven years I've had the hunk, about 115,000 miles, and she still rips and handles like day one. I've never had any serious issues with the car either, besides the a.c blower motor starting to act up recently even though that's hardly serious??

Genesis coupe 3.8 has more hp than a 370z for less money, but the 370z is more “popular” I think the Genesis looks better than a Nissan lol 😂

I have a 2013 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track model with all the bells and whistles. I live in Florida, and tried dealing with local dealers in the Tampa Bay area, with no luck. So I went shopping on line, found three great deals, one in Missouri, one in Georgia, and one in Texas. Worked out the best deal with the Texas dealership just north of Galveston. I flew from Tampa International, they picked me up at the airport in Texas, and in two hours, I had my brand new Platinum Silver Genesis, and a $400 check in my pocket to reimburse me for my flight. Took the long way home and did some sight seeing for two and a half days going home to St. Pete Beach. I've had Corvettes, Mustangs, and Camaros, but I will never get rid of this fabulous car. I constantly get compliments on this car, every where I go. Garage kept, with only 39,000 miles on it today, and it still looks showroom new. Another great thing about the Genesis Coupe is that it is one of the safest sports cars you can own. The crash rating is one of the best with comparable sized cars. Whereas the Elantra, Veloster, and Sonata have awful ratings. The people at the Hyundai/Genesis dealership here where I keep it serviced have told me for the past two years that a Genesis Coupe prototype has been designed and that a planned release is coming soon. I would love to see that.

[@canineparty3497]

I love my Genesis Coupe. I wanted to eventually trade for a '16 ultimate, but with the market being ran dry, I have decided to stick with my '13 RSpec.

Thank you for the Genesis coupe appreciation definitely an under rated platform. I am a current owner and have owned a total of 3 of them throughout the years currently building a 12 2.0t doing a full forged build but the information about the theta and 4b11t having a lot of interchangeable parts is not true. While they were co-developed between Chrysler, Hyundai and Mitsubishi they are very different the theta is a 2 bolt main design and open deck while the 4b11T is a 4 bolt main and semi closed also the main journals and rod journals are different dimensions the 4b11t is more stout in every way. The head gasket is even different they do share similarities in the head design as far as valve’s and springs and buckets go and cam shafts. Valve covers can also be swapped these motors are more like 2nd cousins than brothers.
