CNET Reviews Genesis Coupe
CNET has taken their spin on the Genesis Coupe 2.0T and the 3.8L V6 and they have a pretty positive impresesion. They were able to take the car around the Mazda Raceway Leguna Seca and they had an absolute blast with the car. They did have a minor issue with the stability control program that was too sensitive. Apparently just driving on the rumble strip on the inside of a turn was enough to set it off and have the ECU cut power to the car. Fortunetly you can turn it off (are you listening Mercedes?).

So the question is has Hyundai hit a homerun with the new Genesis Coupe 2.0T and 3.8? We’d say the Korean automaker has come quite close. The 2.0T feels a bit down on power, but its good handling and turbocharged engine will prove to be excellent starting points for the tuner crowd. Comparing it with the Honda Civic Si may not have been fair, but there really is no other cheap, rear-wheel drive coupe on the market to which the Genesis Coupe 2.0T can be stacked against.
