Help me to decide!

I will check this when I do a oil change this weekend. How bad was the vibration?

I went with the v6 just cause I have a fun car that makes 4 times what this v6 makes. Also the v8 doesn't have awd until now I guess.

The vibration was bad, but only in the summer with the AC compressor at full tilt. Last summer wasn't too bad, but waiting at a long Houston stoplight this last June "broke the camel's back" for me, and I had the mounts replaced. There is virtually no vibration now. It _seems_ the new mounts are a performance upgrade, since I have driven other v6 Genesis with properly working original mounts.

There was no vibration in the winter with the AC off.

Cool, I might just visit the dealer and see if they will replace mine.

The tech said when he started it up in the stall, he heard a thunk sound when the starter engaged, so he pulled the bottom cover and saw the collapsed mount. It took them about 5 days to ship a replacement pair.

To all of members, I appreciate your opinions!
I finally full the triggered for the 2016 Ultimate 3.8. Love it so far. I see there is a little vibration at the idle but it not really bother me. I will see how it goes in first week and will report back to you guys.
My next project is the G80 Sport bumper. I got a quote from dealer for $1700 (everything included, after tax). Will keep you guys update.
