    Considering New 2015 or 16 3.8L

    Hey everybody, I am new to the Genesis and have had a crush on this car for about 5 years or so. I am really contemplating getting a new 2015 or 2016 Coupe 3.8 R-Spec as a daily driver and a car to use on trips. I am going for the R-Spec because I don't really want to pay more than $30k I would...

    New to me 2012 3.8L

    I'm so excited, I've wanted one of these Genesis cars for years and we finally purchased one. Found a 3.8L with both the premium and technology package (kinda hard to find in my area for some reason). I'll post up some pics later, and I've already ordered wing badging to switch out the drunken H...

    3.8L engine idle speed?

    Hi, just curious. Anyone know what the correct idle speed is for the 3.8L engine? I'm reading off the tacho about 550 revs/min. Maybe it's because it's a large engine, but I'm used to seeing higher values than that on previous cars I have owned with smaller engines. Previous owners manuals gave...

    Some of you may have heard but the < 1 inch of snow last night during rush hour created havoc in the dc metro. I was fine the first half of the drive home but during the second half I found myself slipping, skidding, fishtailing on the interstate on the slightest of inclines. the abridged...

    How many electric motors in a 3.8L Ulitimate?

    Hi guys, tomorrow I pick up my 3.8L here in the UK, which is almost the same as the Ultimate in the US. Now this is vitally important :) In my Sonata I reckon there are about 10 electric motors. How many do you guess are in the Genesis? I lost count after about 20. I mean, there's even a...

    2011 4.6L or 2012 3.8L?

    Hi all, I'm looking to pick up my first Genesis after trading in my Audi A4 headache for what I'm hoping will be a vastly more reliable automobile. Had the chance to test drive a 2012 R-Spec and loved the way it drove - my car before the A4 was a Honda Accord v6 and to this day I miss the...

    2015 Genesis Base 3.8L only 33k?

    Wow! Talk about Labor Day savings! This is almost enough to make me want to trade in my 2013 and I've only had it a year. I got my oil changed at South Bay Hyundai here in LA a few days ago and it was my first time up close and personal with the 2015's. Based on pics I preferred the look of my...

    AWD 3.8L V6 driving mode impact on MPG

    One aspect of considering AWD versus RWD on the 3.8L V6 is the reduction in MPG. What impact does changing the driving mode (Normal, Sport, Snow, etc.) have on MPG for the AWD 2015 Genesis? From what I have read, Sport is a 90/10 split. Other than the extra weight and friction of the AWD...

    Review - Sprint Booster on 2012 3.8L V6

    So this afternoon I received my Sprint Booster. It is the model made for the Genesis Sedan model years 09-14 (i.e. BH body style). For those unaware, this thing is a throttle signal amplifier for "drive by wire" throttles. The goal is to provide a higher throttle percentage output for a...

    Fog Light Harness in the 3.8L?

    It has been previously reported that someone looked for and didn't find any obvious harness in place for the fog lights. I think I may have found them. Automotive electrical is not my forte, but while I was underneath, waiting for the oil to drain, I think I may have it. On the driver side...
