Looking to buy a genesis 2.0T

09-20-2009, 07:42 PM
are there any owners out there that can tell me how the car is? Ive read lots of reviews but i would like to hear someone's first hand experience.
1) Hows the fuel mileage and how much does it cost to fill up?
2) Hows the fun to drive factor compared to other cars in its class?
3) I heard the clutch is its one fall back how do you find the clutch?
4) hows the maintenance?
5) were you able to bargain anything at the dealership?
and any other things I should be looking out for would be greatly appreciated thanks
Ask 1990TSI, he just went AutoX'ing. haha
Or just check the genesis vs civic si thread :haha:

Fuel mileage is great or shitty, depending on how fast you drive. I burned 1/8 of a tank doing 7 autox runs today, but averaged 8.8 L/100 on the drive home. over all I'd consider it very good.
Fun to drive? It's RWD and turbo, the track model has an LSD and brembos. If I need to say more, you may as well buy a civic SI.
Clutch is fine, no problems with it at all. transmission isn't great when cold, but that's probably an issue with my transmission, not all of them.
maintenence is too early to tell. The thing is gonna be easy to work on, things like the fuel pump being a 15 minute job from under the rear seat, oil changes easy as hell, filter being beside the drain and no plastic covering it.
as for a deal, I got the first one in BC so they weren't really moving on price at all. I've heard about some people in bc getting lowered finance rates (down from 2.6% that I paid)
I got mine from the northshore automall and dealt with trevor, I'd highly reccomend the dealership, and i think they have 5 or 6 on the lor right now, not sure on 2.0T 6 speeds though.
as for other problems, it's not a Camaro, there's only a few common issues and they should be fixed by now with the newer build dates.
Best advice would be to go try one out and see how you like it

I've driven my Friends, He has a white one with the Eibach springs, its quite fun to drive, his range is pretty good for gas,
as for filling up, it all depends if you want to get 94 or 91.. it would cost around 60 - 70 bucks.
One thing i dont like is the Drive by wire.
the North Shore location has about 3, they have a nice black one there right now.
Speaker system is prety good too

Dealer gave me a $3500 discount before I even asked on the base 2.0T for financing
Too bad I'm broke :haha:
I have a tough time picking which model, I was thinking either the base which is 6k cheaper or the GT 2.0T which is $$$ and into wrx territory, although if the same discount is offered the GT or w/e it's called could be very competitive

I remember reading you can use 87 octane in the genesis?
True or false?

Ya its pretty rare to see any performance car use 87. But apparently Hyundai's ECU can handle 87 regularly heh.

Ive also driven a friends for a day, he has a 3.8L with just about all the options except the track package I believe so no brembos. I really liked the exterior of the car and the interior is very nice for its price too. One thing I noticed when driving it was that the transmission feels very notchy and wasn't smooth. Im not sure if its only his car or all of them are like that.
Have you driven another RWD car that's standard before? lol
1990TSI
09-21-2009, 04:47 PM
Car runs on 87, that's all I put in it, unless I'm doing a rockstar up to kelowna or a race event it gets 94 for a full tank before the trip and a full tank for the trip, so the ECU has ample time to figure it out.
I can't feel a difference with the 94 over 87, not like the free wastegate mod, that's good for 10hp-12tq and it's noticable with 87.
If you guys wanna guess at stuff and throw grade 4 insults, there's a thread full of it called SI or Genesis.
This guy is looking for real world experience

Yes but what does that have to do with the tranny feeling notchy.

Hm, better drop in at BCAA! I got quoted ~2800 for the 4DR Si, 300/300/2mil/15kmSchool.
I wonder how much discount I can get on a 2.0GT? I want the LSD/Brembos/Xenon if possible. :(

Please post where you got it and who you got it from and what was the "deal".
Or if you want to be discreet, please PM me as I'm looking to get a genesis as well around March.

hey guys I am picking it up at 530 today. I got a 2010 model with premium package. the sticker price was 29640 i believe is what he said he gave me $1000 dollars off, and he included the protectioin pack for free a 900 dollar value it gives you undercoat, leather protection, rust protection, and a few others things i forget. and keeps your interior under warranty for 10 years. and he also added the tint for free it was not the stock tint it was darker, and the reason i got that for free is because he forgot to mention that the tint was going to cost extra until afterwards. O yay and I bought it at jim pattison hyundai in coquitlam I highly recommend them great service. I dealt with Chris he was a great guy. and also the genesis comes with a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty.
Ill post pics when i pick it up tonight :)

last month the salesman said he'd knock almost 4 grand off...
Today went into same dealership, said no more discounts, and not even a demo for me FML
I'm just gonna get a GTI it's more practical even though it can't do powerslides and whatnot, it's still a great car.

They seem to be pretty low on 2.0T's at least at the richmond dealership, It's a huge turnoff now that there's no discount :rolleyes:
Oh well, there's more in the market and frankly the rear seat is too unbearable in the genesis.

Korean cars/products have really picked up their reputation and quality in the past few years. It has been their strategy to start selling stuff a bit below market value & the raise their prices when they gain a decent market share. Case in point Samsung. Better get these Genesis before they raise their price.

Ethanol eats away at the seals for the fuel pump/fuel system and clogs it up... that's what I hear anyways. Plus it uses more land than just plain growing corn. Ethanol does raise the octane, but it also gives you worse MPG.
godwin
10-14-2009, 10:09 PM
At that concentration it won't do anything significant to the plastic joints etc.. except that you probably will use more gas because of the lower energy content of ethanol. Especially on such a new car, where ethanol is a known factor during design decision.
Unless Mr. q123124123124124 have a special distillery or own personal Husky/Mohawk.

With modern electronics, you use what the manual tells you to. If your car manufacturer tells you to use 87 and you use 90, you are pissing money down the drain, it won't give you any power or anything.. or even clean your injectors more, like Shell etc etc like to claim.

Not on a car like the Genesis which is new.. modern plastics are designed for that higher alkalinity.

Ah, hm. I heard the story about newer Benz's though? I mostly steer away from the ethanol-added fuels because it seems to burn quicker in my engine. That's what I find when I drive down in the states, anyways. :haha:

Ethanol has a lower energy content.. that's why you need to use more.
I haven't heard of Mercedes having to recall or even have to issue any guidance any cars due to ethanol.

Is this new dealership at the old Honda on 445 Kingsway?
I just saw the signature Hyundai blue on the building.. haha.
Do you know anything about a $1000 auto show rebate/coupon for Hyundai? A salesman told me this at the Vancouver Auto Show.
