Hello Everyone,
I have had my 2011 4.6 for just over a week now and have over 1600 miles on the car. I live near Toronto and took the car for a long weekend to the Laurentian mountains near Montreal. I encountered a lot of different road conditions including some very wet roads!
By way of background my last car was a '07 G35 Sport sedan and I have had a number of BMWs and Mercedes prior to that. Up until a couple of years ago, I was racing motorcycles and cars competitively until I became addicted to golf and its perverse pleasure/pain continuum.
I love the Genesis engine and feel that the ride, while quite firm, is very good and controlled. The oem tires (Dunlop SP 5000M) are horrible for this car and I was able to get the tires to break away in the wet - very exciting! I just put on some Michelin Pilot Sports A/S Plus and the ride is noticeably more comfortable and compliant over all sorts of pavement.
I have more of a complaint with the lack of support in the seats for high speed/g's driving but the majority of the car's fine attributes trump that minor issue.
I am enjoying this forum and there were many helpful threads which enabled me to reach my decision to buy the vehicle.
Cheers
