My Honest 6 Month Review on the Genesis Coupe

[@iLoskii]

Ik this video is about 5 months old but the blown engine topic is more of an issue of the 2.0T Genny. The 3.8 are engines are naturally aspirated so they're more reliable just like any other v6 like the G35/G37 and 350z/370z. As long as you keep up with maintenance then you have nothing to worry about.

I bought a 2016 3.8 Ultimate 6MT in 2019. It had 6000 miles when i got it (now has 45k) and it is my daily driver. Looking forward to the new exhaust on your car - it looks like it's in great condition.

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

6k miles is crazy the Previous owner never drove it lool. And thank you I can’t wait!

[@qkwjz]

@Bk2.Kantrell Nope, I bought it online from car gurus. An old couple traded it in for a Buick! They probably only drove it to church on Sunday 😂😂😂

[@-RECOMMENDED]

A front lip is a must with that lowering springs and top it up with 25 mm rear spacers and 20 mm front spacers

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

I will definitely do that!

[@BMRfor18]

@@Bk2.KantrellI did that as well before I got wheels and coils. My favorite thing I did was Michelin pilot sports though. That alone made the ride feel night and day better.

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

@@BMRfor18 i need to get some of those wheels I’ve been hearing a lot of good things, I may try em out whenever I upgrade my wheels

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

@@BMRfor18 also what size of tires did u get 18’s or 19’s?

[@BMRfor18]

@@Bk2.Kantrell I had 19. So the better tires made a huge difference on the ride.

[@SeanDoll]

i love my genesis so much and owned mine for 5 years. im actually about to buy another one. i should be pushing 600+ hp in a few months with this engine build im doing on my chanel . right now im about 400 hp

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

Sheeesh I’m gonna have to check it out!

[@Unknown-vv1td]

do you recommend it as a first car? im a teen and im looking for cheap coupes i can daily drive without making me homeless

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

@@Unknown-vv1td I’d only recommend it if you get one that’s been well taken care of. If u can find one with the proper maintenance and decent miles then I would say yes! Also I would recommend bringing a mechanic to check it out to see if it’s worth it as a lot of people have ran through these cars/motors.

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

Do u know if ur want a bk1 or bk2 and then a 3.8 or a 2.0?

[@Unknown-vv1td]

@@Bk2.Kantrell hmm im thinking bk2 for the better interior, then maybe a 2.0 because its gonna be my first car and im not gonna race or track or anything, i just want a cheap comfortable coupe i can use to go to school or wherever i want

[@CollinGantt]

Keep the videos going brotha love to see other genny owners make content

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

Thank you brotha and same here I’m actually already subbed to u haha

[@elantra45]

I still have my 2013 2.0T. Bought it new. Currently sitting at 147k miles. It's my daily commuter now.

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

@@elantra45 nice! Any major repairs that’s been needed?

[@btaratu14]

I love the brown leather, but the quality isn’t there. The rear seat are all dried and rock solid. I got the Stillen dual exhaust, it sounds louder in the car than if you’re behind the car itself. A lot shaking noise at different rpms. Overall pretty happy the 3.8, it has enough power to have fun. I’ve tracked it a couple time and still running great. I get a lot of compliments in Michigan. I recommend installing a catch can.

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

Yeah I agree and I can see how u get compliments car looks dope from profile pic👍🏾

[@imillyrockonanyblock3280]

Get an oil catch can if anything it will help

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

I have one I will install it pretty soon

[@fuhfuhwostyy2069]

I bought a used 2012 3.8 coupe for $9.2k wasn’t bad of a deal had 90k miles on it came with a broken reverse light and low tire pressure check engine light but very worth it I don’t regret it (yet so far lol)

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

Glad to hear ur enjoying the car!

[@ocdtaz]

wait till there’s water in the trunk😭

[@Kj.bulidz]

Nice gen. I have um magnaflow exhaust on mine. Big ass tips loud asf on stock. When you get test pipes and downpipes makes it sounds mint. But solo exhaust are good too.

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

Thanks bro! And I actually got an exhaust new vid is coming soon haha. But yes I lowkey wanna do the test pipes

[@walkinglegendssr]

one of the funnest cars i've ever driven , I had a rsx first but the rwd and torque on the 3.8 are so much fun on the road . i own a 2015 3.8 Ultimate once yo get your tint spacers and lower it you're ganna wanna do more.

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

Glad to hear ur enjoying ur gen! exactly I already have it lowered just need spacers and then I recently got an exhaust and it made the car way more fun to drive

[@walkinglegendssr]

@@Bk2.Kantrell car is dope asf man really makes the 370 benz infinities etc shake . gapped many v8s in my stock 3.8 breaks necks for sure . once my 3.8 engine is done , throwing a ls in there

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

@@walkinglegendssr Thank you bro! And having a v8 genny would be cool to see!

[@danrv8390]

im about to buy a 2013 3.8 track with 77k miles. what are ur recommendations to keep the engine healthy. this is going to be my daily for a few years.

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

I would say just change the oil every 3-5k miles and keep up with maintenance. If u plan to modify the car try to do it one at a time just in case u run into an issues. Also before u buy make sure maintenance is up date and regular oil changes. one of the the main reasons the car engine blows is because of low oil. So check ur oil weekly

[@danrv8390]

@@Bk2.Kantrell Thanks 🙏🏻

11 year owner here. I have a bone stock track model with the Lambda GDI 3.8L V6, the Brimbo brake package, and a set of MD Motoring Chrome 7 mag 18" rims with 225 25 18 up front and 245 45 18 in the back. I haven't dealt with a lot of issues because I always had the scheduled maintenance done in a timely manner. 250k miles on the road, close to 90 oil changes. 1 set of head gaskets. 6 sets of brakes. 1 cat converter, because somebody stole the original, one rear end servicing, a new radiator, 8 sets of tires because I like launching to the speed limit, 3 batteries, 1 starter and solenoid and a Brake light switch that is connected to the ignition system. The cost of ownership hasn't been bad at all. fix a something here or there, that's it. but if everything is ignored, if the car has been neglected, it's going to rack up big time in the shop. If you bought one new, it really isn't very expensive. it all depends what has already been taken care of. and the older these cars get, the more care they need. but to this day, mine is a cannonballer. I've gone twice in it already and plan on doing it again from Long Beach to Manhattan again in april 2025.

[@joesmith3075]

i forgot 4 sets of spark plugs. one set every 60k miles.

[@Bk2.Kantrell]

Honestly not bad at all especially for 250k miles and 11 years on the road!!! And 90 oil changes was that every 3k miles?
