I never looked at that car before because I thought it was too expensive for my budget, and then, while checking on the new Sonata: Wow, that could be fun!!
So now, I am in the phase of comparing this car with its closest competition, but I have a hard time finding any. Here are my criteria:
- RWD and manual (for the fun part),
- Average good mileage (listed at 22/27 which is about the lowest I want to go),
- Priced below US$23,000 (in CAD$, that means below CAD$25,000),
- Bluetooth would be really nice as hand free driving is mandatory in Quebec now.
What I really like about the Genesis Coupe is that the Base model (2.0T) has everything I am looking for my next car, no need to get the premium package to get what I want and have to pay a big increase in price (base price is made to attract attention).
What could be the competition to this car?
Maintenance wise, what are the differences compared to a FWD car as I never own a RWD car?
I still have to check if it will be easy for my daughter to seat in the rear seat, but if that works OK, it could be a nice mid-life crisis car for a way too calm man in his early 40s (feeling his crisis building up inside him). What do you think of this car in general?
Last thing to Hyundai owners: Do you know a really nice forum on Hyundai cars and on the Genesis Coupe in particular? Right now, I am really lucky having a so nice forum for my Rogue and I may miss them if I change car.
Thanks for any help/advice you could provide.
