Just bought a 2010 Genesis 3.8 Coupe, lightly used with 14.5K miles. Lost my 2006 Honda Civic in the Irene floods and was frustrated seeing dealer prices for used Civics with 30000+ miles being only around $1000 under the MSRP for a new one, so I thought that I'd make up for the loss in a big way. Test drove a new 2011 track and was offered 27K for it, but that was too high after all the extra charges. This one has less bells and whistles, but I paid $5000 less which makes a big difference to someone my age. It's a really nice car....FAST 
compared to what I'm used to. Put my sister and mom in the back and floored it, scared the living daylights out of them 
I'm a young guy but funny enough...a very conservative driver....especially in bad weather or when its dark out. I wanted this car for the handling and acceleration due to the high percentage of very aggressive drivers in this area...I feel more comfortable on the road in a powerful sport handling car which makes me able to get out of a sticky situation or dust tailgaters. Not only that, but the car is a lot faster than it looks with a relatively subdued appearance...i.e. not a cop magnet. Not much of a problem for me since my last (and so far, only) speeding ticket was about 5 years ago for passing someone on the highway who slowed down for the cop ahead, but still of some importance. Mileage is pretty good for a 300+ HP engine; I got 24 mpg in stop and go traffic with the gentle way I typically drive. So, that's basically my story. Nice forum you have here as well. Any other younger drivers on here?
