  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Some nice tidbits.

Absolutely. We drove this car hard for three full days on everything from motorways to dual carriageways and the twistiest, emptiest back roads we could find. As you can tell, we came away impressed.

How does it handle?
Brilliantly. There’s loads of front-end grip to lean on and an overall feeling of composure and balance that encourages you to get the rear-end working. Our car’s auto transmission and open differential meant hooliganism was off the menu, but its poise meant it was still brilliant fun – in a strikingly similar manner to the Infiniti.

Verdict
Hyundai’s Genesis coupe is a great car. It’s attractive, well-built, relatively practical and its balanced rear-drive chassis and eager V6 make it great fun to drive.

CARUK gives the Genesis Coupe 4 stars.

It seems Hyundai may end up importing a small no. of the Genesis Coupe to the UK.

On an aside, it appears that Kia is starting to come on strong. UK magazines are notorious for giving the Korean makes bad scores but the new Soul gets 4 stars to join the Cee'd/ProCee'd. The upcoming Forte is likely to score similarly as well.
