Default Hyundai Genesis

Anyone have experience with this car (sedan version)? Looking for a new dd that gets better mileage and is easier to drive then the truck. All the reviews seem great.

arent they more expensive than a camaro/mustang v6? your talking about the coupe id assume. you probably couldnt go wrong with a basic one which i think is a 4 cylinder turbo with a 6 speed could be a fun little car.

wow what a pile of ****.(video) I like the way they look, but after seeing that, I wouldn't buy one. The valositer(spell?) is a neat, cool looking car. With a Korean made car, you only get so much.

I was looking at the v6 sedan version. It looks really roomy, which I like. I don't drive like a douche so I don't expect to blow up the engine. Going to look at a few today

arent the v6 versions expensive? do not want to pay 30k for a hyundai when you can get a v6 camaro for mid 20's or the v8 for like low 30's.

BMW 745's/750's are going for low-mid 20's around here, with 50K-60K miles on them. If I were looking for a roomy sedan with decent mileage, that'd be my pick, hands down. I know a few people who drive Hyundai's, but I doubt I'd buy one, not even an Equis.
