my test drive: 2010 hyundai genesis coupe gt package
I drive an rx8, so it's a totally different feeling. I don't know if its a piston engine or v6 thing but i certainly felt that throttle response was slower than mine. When i step on it, it's just not as responsive as my car. Even if i floor it for a second it wont rev as high as my rx8 would. It's also big. I guess it doesnt say much since i drive a small car but it really is roomy. When i first turned on the car, i could definitely tell this car's bigger hp and tq numbers. just by the sound you could tell. a deep low grumble compared to my screamer. The clutch was short but significantly harder than mine and the engagement point was closer to the floor and the range of the clutch was also shorter. Steering was also softer than my rx8, not as raw feeling should i say but still good and responsive. Suspension also seemed softer but not too bad. I also noticed THIS THING CAN HAUL. Full throttle in any gear pushes you into the chairs, which might i say arent as supportive but comfortable and enough to stop too much side to side movement. interior was decent. nothing special but nothing bad either. seemed like it was put together pretty well. i especially liked the center console setup. Engine is a big 3.8L. Trunk isnt big but it is enough for the regular driver. id also have to say the front grill is pretty ugly, but my brother also realizes that and plans to change that first thing. Rims are pretty bleh also but those can also be changed.
In conclusion, i wouldnt say this car was meant to tackle corners on the circuit or anything. its more of a car for the regular driver who just wants to go fast sometimes. but im sure with a few mods here and there it'd definitely be quick on the track.
