I know this is late but I’m looking for a Genesis for my first car and this video is very informative and helpful

[@Tellingthetruthaboutpolice]

Heyy where do you live?? Did you get it or still working on it?

[@markallenbayot7205]

Farrad Mohammed I opted for a Camaro but I still like this car tho

[@MJT-DA]

@@Tellingthetruthaboutpolice they're plenty of them down here in Canada. Avg price is $7,000 CAD for 100,000km of a 2009 to 2012. And the 2013 to 2014 is $9,000 CAD for the same miles

[@Tellingthetruthaboutpolice]

@@markallenbayot7205 cool dude nice choice. Camaro is quite rare on the roads. Always see boring mustangs or Dodge chargers.

[@Tellingthetruthaboutpolice]

@@MJT-DA thanks dude but I've moved on from this. I can go FOR a GM, A Nissan, or a Jaguar since Mercedes is boring to me and the 3series is boring to me and so is Audi. Idk why so many people buy the cheaper vehicles of these brands and then a t like they own the road, in a c class - _- I love Jaguars because of the rich history, and even with all their ups and downs, they still handle better than a BMW Audi and Mercedes. I love the Jaguar Xe. Beautiful vehicle. Blends in, but certainly isn't like the others.

[@Austzilla]

This was the most informative video I've found related to the subject. Well done!

[@NathanBellaire]

Going to look at some Genesiss tomorrow and I'm going to bring this list with me for sure! Thanks for all the tips. :)

[@JustinPritchard]

+Nathan Bellaire glad to help!

[@omarh1315]

how're you liking it?

[@Overtaking]

Nathan Bellaire how’d it go ?

[@angelbluerider9588]

Update

[@salvros]

You're awesome man! Thanks for the tips going to see a 3.8 ultimate soon and this is the video I exactly needed.

[@Loooooooooooooooool]

Just bought a 2013 track. Ive heard bad things about the manual but its what I prefer and it felt great during the test drive.

[@vespidcoffee]

Fantastic list man, this is going to be really helpful in my search.

[@JustinPritchard]

+Vespid Coffee275 good to hear. I'm gonna do some more of these.

[@themagus5906]

I have a 2015 GC that my wife (71 years old) drives. I call it the Korean Korvette. It's got 39k and is all original, even the Toyo tires. Second owner since 9000 miles. Rare automatic trans, Brembos, sunroof, and spoiler. NO mods or upgrades, strictly factory. Tsukuba red. Now she wants a Lexus RC before she dies. Go figure, but I pamper my wife. She's a really good cook. I'm in Myrtle Beach....any offers over 22K? BTW, I'm happy with my black Impala SS....it's the SUV of sedans and gets compliments everywhere I go.

[@dinomaxi4951]

the 1st generation Gen Coupe turbo and the 3.8 v6 is under powered and has known tranny issues and other low quality issues of final offerings .2nd generation Gen Coupe has slave cylinder leak problems which cause the tranny needing to be removed to change the part($600.00 plus labor).If you beat on the car the OEM clutch or dual mass flywheel will fail on either the BK1 or BK2 , to replace both items is $3,500 to $4,500.If you get a 2nd generation turbo and plan on tuning and raising the boost be aware that the BK2's intake manifold is plastic and can blow apart under raised boost levels outside of OEM spec ,you would be wise to go to a salvage yard or ebay and buy a used 1st generation aluminum intake manifold if planning on modding for higher boost.This car had a lot of potential but Hyundai in an attempt to gain market profits for a new rear wheel drive entry model screwed themselves and the American buyers out of a better deal .I have a BK2 that I modded and I am to believe I have 1 of 2 in America a 3.8 v6 R-spec that runs in the high 11's in the 1/4 on nitrous and a host of supporting mods.The KTM support is small and very expensive for such a slow platform .There is a Gen coupe BK2 turbo 4 cyl in PR running 10.50's in the 1/4 .I've done a lot to my Gen Coupe but if I had to do it all over again,I would have chosen another brand.It is hit and miss with the STEALERSHIP support in respect to warranty work.Either your problem will get fixed or they "the stealership" will deny claims for what ever reason and if you complain to Hyundai ,good luck with that .

[@iandelumen5078]

Dino Maxi d bk1 3.8 is not underpowered. it can hit 100km/h in under 6 sec . but syempre the GDI 3.8 is more powerful

[@leonemesis87]

Would you recommend a 3.2 V6 TT (DSG - 250hp AWD) or a 3.8 V6 Genesis (340hp version) ?

[@chriselson7268]

Maybe you should lose the short form txt for a more understandable comment. BK1/2?;PR running 10.50's ( is that seconds )?; Slave cylinder leak?; high 11's?; KTM?; But thanks for the comment anyway

[@dinomaxi4951]

The BK 2 - 2.0 liter turbo Alphaspeed tuned Gen Coupe from PR is a High dollar build that runs 10.50's @ 133 mph .My Gen Coupe has run the best time of 11.57 and 118.7 mph on nitrous and supporting mods ( MANY MODS ) .I work on my own Gen Coupe and found many poor designs of the platform and corrected them .I don't think most would embark on the path I did because of the lack of tuning options out there . My motor itself is still OEM spec . I modded everything else on my Gen to produce a decent running car , not the fastest but can surprise any brand out there today on the streets .

[@JCarlos.556]

_Thanks for the tips Justin, I'm going this Saturday to pick mine up. Great video bro😎👍_

[@scranboob7939]

Looking at moving past my first car which is a bucket to da genesis couple cool lil car not bad price for a couple year old low miles

[@walruz011]

same bro cant wait to get rid of this crv

[@dplachy]

Something you didn't mention that I think is super important is that this car has Direct Fuel Injection....dfi have a reputation for carbon build up on the Valves. Do your homework because this may be an issue down the road. Thanks for the video and advice 😁✌

[@jordan_.zx10r]

Bought used 2013 for 9000$. Really good condition just had a lot of rock chipd

[@angelbluerider9588]

which kind did you buy 2.0t?

[@shubsodhi5986]

2015 - R-spec - 3.8 - Manual - 32k km - 18k CAD Pretty good deal eh

[@Exhibit-A]

2014 3.8 Grand Touring W/Brembo brakes Manual 45k Mi - 11.3k USD

[@anthonyisais113]

Where did you find that deal conquest??

[@MWAclanGaming]

[@falconheavyraptor]

just test drove a 2014 r spec 2.0t. was pretty decent and thinking of buying it. it has 128,xxxkm on it and the price is 15,000 plus tax

[@drburcham]

I Bought a 2014 3.8 ultimate auto with 64k miles no accidents 2 owners from the hyundai dealership for 13,700 plus tax

[@ElderCOD5292]

i appreciate the video dude, great stuff, im about to buy one hopefully for 18k (Can)with the upgraded muffler delete and cold air.. and 3m protection aswell as other things like spacers and 44km on it. We will see if its worth it as its a large amount of money for me and i just hope theres nothing more wrong with iot as he already had a little fender bender worth 2k that he already fixed..

[@rakimwebster6415]

I am only buying this car cause it's in antidote

[@frankies9202]

This was a basic buying a used car info not car specific

[@chriselson7268]

I thought it was pretty car specific.

[@Chicag0FB]

Thinking of buying one but unfortunately it has a recall for a passenger airbag should I still consider buying it?

[@benmackey8777]

Thanks for this. Looking at getting a 2.0 in a little while as my first car. Heard a lot of great stuff about them

[@jayrorabeck550]

did you end up getting it ?

[@jittabug2276]

did you end up getting it?

[@genesis3041]

So are you a genny owner,?

[@lopullus2731]

Your film is universal, unusual for this model. Don't you think that it is without a session to give such a title of the recording?

[@dayglo98]

Hi Justin, I went to test drive a 100,000km 2013 2.0T today and everything seemed in order. The only aftermarket mod was a blow-off valve. Do you know if 2013 2.0T's are reliable if they are driven 'conservatively' ? I dont' plan on modding or beating it, I just love the look and the available passing power. Thanks !

[@josemolina3858]

They are strong reliable cars but because it's turbo charged you want to make sure the oil is good so it can keep the turbo moisted all the time or you will have turbo problem damaging your engine (just basic turbo car tips)

[@dayglo98]

@@josemolina3858 Thanks for the reply, I bought it late last summer and it's so fun to drive !

[@MSupreme7]

Thank you for the tips man.

[@Metalsaurusb]

Thanks for this dude!!!

[@iLikeCarsFPS]

Awesome video! Thank You! I'm going for a 2015 Ultimate with the automatic transmission. Do you have any advice for me?

[@angelbluerider9588]

did u buy it?

[@brandonwright2067]

Number one though the 350-370z are nice their not that reliable.

[@dannymartinez8522]

What makes you say that? You can go easy 250k to 300k if you keep up with the maintenance

[@pontiacGXPfan]

I want a 15 GC because my previous car got totaled and i just want some cheap horsepower but....reliability makes me kinda nervous. I used to have a BK1 turbo that i replaced a window motor and eventually the engine died(my fault). Should i get the V6?

[@mattmazzocco3208]

I just bought a 2010 2.0t and when I’m driving around town and put it into 3rd I feel like something is in the way like the gear bitting back, it only does it sometimes but when it does you can feel it. It’s only 3rd gear that does that but I want to know is this a major problem? Should I be worried? If it’s big problem I might just get something done now before any more damage is occurred.

[@Freestyleny]

hey

[@abteful]

I am looking for a genesis i live in mass if anyone has any information please let me know

[@icu7771]

Justin- early stages of researching Genesis coupes. Are there any specific years that are more problematic (2013 and newer)? Thx!

[@JustinPritchard]

Hey there, it's been a while since I've dug into these-- the owners community likely has a much better grip on that now than they did when I wrote this video. Suggest checking Facebook Reddit and popular forums. Make some friends and network if you haven't already, most owners are happy to share their insights and experiences. Lists of year specific problems shouldn't be difficult to find. Hope that sends you in the right direction, happy shopping!

[@victorrippe5845]

Man I've been looking for a 2013 and up 3.8 genesis coupe but there going up in value cuz of demand I've been told by several dealers do you know if that is true cuz I can't find none for a good price compare to last year.

[@Longshlongjon22]

Around me there about 7-15 thousand and just as good as the high price just a couple less thousand miles in so cal

[@ZorbGorgBorg]

@@Longshlongjon22 the ones around me are asking about 18 thousand for 2013 3.8 (or 2.0t) with just around 50k miles.

[@matthews95_]

How is this car on gas/long drives?

[@IamStreaz]

I just recently did a 1,200 mile drive in my 2012 3.8, i got about 25 mpg throughout the entire drive and had no issues what so ever.

[@desert1able76]

That sounds about like what I get with my 2010 3.8 - about 23-24 commuting to work (30 miles one way) and from 26-18 on the highway if I don't push it. Its been a fairly reliable car with only a couple mechanical items - both covered under warranty. I did have to replace the AC compressor (Expensive!) shortly out of warranty. Since then no other serious issues now with 162K. The build quality is fair to good w/ some minor plastic pieces a bit on the cheap side.

[@dalemcbride3530]

Do these cars last for example 2010 coupe 85,000 miles?

[@stephenferreira5005]

Dale McBride I’ve heard of genesis coupes going to 150k+ with no repairs except power steering fluid and stuff like that

[@kendallwillis2862]

I got a Tiburon and I want a gen coupe so fuccin bad🤣🤣

[@cavemadskates2511]

Im looking at one with some wear and a bit of tear to the seats and minor paint chips it has 160km and they want 6.500$ is that a good price? It’s a 3.8 2010

[@josemolina3858]

It's alright price for 3.8 since they are more reliable than the turbo ones, main focus is to feel the engine and transmission doing its proper work

[@bprncssd]

I’m currently looking for a used 2012 Hyundai Genesis coupe 3.8 Track, do you know a dealership or a website that may have the car that I’m looking for?

[@Mynamejack9]

Did you find it.?

[@iemran4132]

I want to buy a genesis coupe 3.8 2016 is it a good car for as first car ?

[@josemolina3858]

346hp for a first car is a lot of power for a first car if you haven't had any driving experience yet

[@henrybuchelli1076]

I test drove a 2010 2.0 T with 45,000 clean car fax . Clean inside & clean outside . everything was going good till I came to a red light and I heard loud vibration noises from the steering wheel . The car was selling for $12,000 . Plz help

[@jordan_.zx10r]

Henry buchelli power steering fluid?

[@angelbluerider9588]

did u buy it?

[@Jay_556]

I brought a 2010 2.0t with 20,xxx miles

[@ronaldsosa56]

For how much?

[@wahswolf88]

So basically on this thing..pass? Got it.

[@80s_Boombox_Collector]

Pretty well-supported by the aftermarket? Not at all.

[@TheSquiblitee]

all i ever see is aftermarket stuff on these cars

[@80s_Boombox_Collector]

@@TheSquiblitee Doesn't prove they're well-supported. The aftermarket for these cars is nowhere near what it is for Mustangs, Subarus, or Hondas.

[@user-cu2ix2cs5b]

🤽‍♂️첫차라 좋겠다 ㅎ

[@zoshy2403]

If I got a warranty for it will any of this really matter?
