Yes the Genesis coupe is one of the most underrated cars.
They should absolutely bring it back!
@@gorillatech5337 I agree!
Alex needs to narrate my life!!! oh and The Genesis coupe needs to drop in price I want one lol
Id love to see the Genny make a come back I love my daily would love another
Who all here owns a genny?! I do and I absolutely love it!!!
I fell in love with a genny when i saw one around my neighborhood years ago. Bought myself one in the same color. and i actually found the guy who owned that genny i saw years ago and now we follow each other on IG lol
I love my genny man
I love my Genny too, never planning on getting rid of her.
Meeee
Love this mf 2.0gang !!!
The Genesis coupe is a very underrated car that should get more respect and more appreciated. I love mine and will always love it
I just got one a few months ago, absolutely love it đ

Interesting thinking about getting one myself

V6 is though
Specially the Track edition
All the genny owners just happy we finally have content to watch đ I thought the car scene forgot about us
Hope you reply but how's your over all maintenance, I've hear there turbos go out frequently?? , I'm trying to decide between a g37 or a genesis coupe
@@kevinzaragoza9117 I bought a 2014 2.0t r-spec with 68k on the odo and couldn't be happier. It has some rattles and quirks just like any other car. The rattles were concerning at first but they're "normal". The turbos that did go bad usually went early on, for mine it had been replaced at 42k miles, but i'm also pretty sure the previous owner ran it hard and probably wasn't changing his oil regularly. Just run good oil, do oil changes every 3k, change/wash filters regularly, put better fluids in the transmission & diff and she outta be golden. Also highly recommend an oil catch can be installed, especially if you live in an area with really cold winters. Super easy and cheap diy project that can help prolong the engines' health.

Hyundai actually listened and gave everyone the affordable RWD, turbo coupe people were whining for at a time when we though they were all dying off and no one bought it because "it was still a Hyundai"
Literally .. the best bang for your buck sports coupe
Pretty much. More proof that people in the car community are full of it and only care about a brands name
@@interceptingfist5682 Well, scion?
The marketing for the GC sucked. I did not even know the car existed before February of 2013. There just happened to be a Hyundai dealership next to the Toyota dealership where I was test driving the new FR-S. I saw a '13 Genesis Coupe sitting out front and stopped to check it out. I ordered my 2.0T that afternoon.
Yeah but now the industry is slowly shifting to EV and hybrids, so were I a CEO of Genesis - I would be keeping a close eye on Hyundai's N74 concept.
As a korean, the genesis coupe was the first bit of pride for us in the automotive scene

"What happened to Car Pricing" when lol. That ending was gold
genesis coupes are really underrated, i really wish we had a bigger community behind them thatâs why i love when people with bigger platforms kinda shine a little spotlight on them. Youâd be surprised how much untapped power we have, 2.0Tâs are literally V8 killers đđš
Stock V8 killers
From experience Iâve owned a g35, driven a g37 and I currently own a genesis and itâs one of the most fun cars Iâve owned and itâs cheaper and easier to work on than the g37 and I always have people asking me âwhat car is thatâ and complimenting my car. The only downside is that the aftermarket support isnât as the popular âtuner carsâ

I have a 2.0T and I love it. Itâs been reliable and easy to work on if youâre new to the community. The best first sports car I couldâve bought for the money hands down.
Alex and the editors are so next level. You guys elevate this channel. Every video in this series or any with Alex feel so natural, never forced. Good shit.
You know how long i been waiting for this damn video... FINALLY
Honestly, this channel sold me on wanting the Genesis Coupe as my first car with the "So you want a ___" video. Been saving up for a while and just purchased a 2016 ultimate with only 20k miles. Was a blast to test drive and I'm so excited to drive it! And yall already know where I'm gonna get my wheels, tires and suspension from lol! Great vids as always too!
Damn dude 20k miles ?! So lucky man. Mine just hit 84k. Congrats and i hope you fall in love with yours as i did with mine đđŒ

I've had my Gen for almost 3 years now, I swear it's actually the easiest car to work on. Swapped a trans in under 3 hours on the floor by myself. Need to take the engine out? Just take the whole front end, rad support out in like 20 minutes. Last time I pulled the dash I had it out in like 45 minutes ...
The reason Iâm looking into getting a 2.0
Love seeing my gen in videos đŻđ€Ł
Honestly everything in this video was well put. Coming from the Genesis community I can admit. Some people in the community are pretty toxic but thatâs how the world turns. I drove a brand new 2016 ultimate edition and I absolutely fell in love with the styling and performance of the car. If you are looking to get one (for the right price of course) go for it!
â@Sam-ym8jyas long as theres nothing wrong with it, not a bad price but id reccomend a bk 2 (2013-2014) bk1 has 210hp and the bk2 has 275
Genny gang đȘone of the first
That intro gave me hella goosebumps with the music and sick clips of the Genny. Made me love my Genny a little more now. Props to whoever edited that part!
I absolutely love that when I picked up my bk2 3.8 you guys had made a few videos on it and still are. Aftermarket is still a little weak on the 2013+ 3.8's but even in stock form the car has been a riot for the past 10 months.
Bro this is hilarious I was literally going to buy one this Friday as my first car and this vid just came out thatâs amazing timing
Ayeee Thanks for using some of my clips again guys!! đ„đđŒ
Bought my 2012 3.8 R-Spec brand new a decade ago. Great cars...I've only had ONE serious issue out of it in all these years. The clutch wouldn't come back up when I pressed it. I took it to the dealership, they took the car to the back, fixed it, and sent me on my way. No hassling over warranty or any other nonsense.
I would 100% buy another coupe if they re-released it. The new sedans look nice enough...but I'm just more of a coupe guy.
What was the issue with the clutch?
@@hassaanawan9606 I honestly don't remember. I just know when I pressed it down, I had to put my foot under it and lift it back up manually. Getting out of 1st was a b!tch, but it wasn't too bad once I got going.
Happened about three years ago iirc. So the car was like seven or so years old. Haven't had any mechanical issues with it since. Cosmetic stuff is starting to wear now though (headliner).
@@hassaanawan9606 I had that issue with mine when I had it, it was the clutch master cylinder
Update (Likely unneeded, but I'm sharing anywayđ) : Finally got rid of my baby after 13 years. I bought a '22 GR Supra 3.0 premium. The Genesis was still running strong and looking good, I just thought it was finally time to upgrade to something more modern (and faster).
If they came out with a coupe version of the G70 now??? Boyyyy youâd see me in one ASAP.
Yupp
Would like a G90 coupe better đ
I know it would not be sporty but damn it would be a good looking car âșïž
@@ihatehandles3 oh it would be stupid nice. Iâd just prefer a g70 coupe because Iâd like something a lil smaller.
If a BK3 drops iâm getting one the second itâs available đ and iâm keeping my bk2. Love my genny
@@NOTBrittBritt manual g70 is pretty much the same curb weight i think, might as well
Got my genesis coupe back in December and I drive it every day itâs fun car for sure
Nice vid. I recently bought a 2016 BK2 3.8. bought it with under a 1000km on the ODO. Loving this car so far. Great for entry level, budget minded enthusiast like myself.
Iâve never confused the Genesis coupe for a G37. Both beautiful vehicles, but canât confuse them.
Right?!? The people who confuse the two probably think celicas are supras đ
Iv been waiting for this video for over a year now
I personally would love to see this car come back always thought it was a beautiful looking car especially for the PRICE. Speaking of price at the end you mentioned how cars are expensive lately and I would love to see a video over that. Also your videos are always on point but DAMN was this one funny đ. Great job Alex and the editing team! đ
weâre getting close but i wonât give up till itâs here đ day 17 of asking for âDriver To Driverâ with the Genesis Coupe
Id honestly volunteer if they do zoom or facetime calls since iâm in NYC đđ»ââïžđ
I could be convinced for some artisa artform wheels đ
Appreciate the content on the Gen Coupe. I love my second Gen coupe. Original owner for 7 years and no complaints. Not to mention easy to work on. đ€đŒ
I remember seeing my first Genesis in a parking lot of a private airport. Had the wing badge and for the longest time i kept thinking that cool looking sports car had to be like an Aston Martin or maybe Genesis was its own luxury car brand.
I was blown away to find out it was a Hyundai because it truly does look like a luxury sports car.
Now i finally bought one, a 2012 2.0t bone stock from the first owner with 97k miles. It turns heads alot and you can probably guess what my first mod is going to be đ
I feel like the fact that people don't talk about these cars much only adds to that mystery and curiosity like how i felt when i first saw one.
Kinda feels like you're part of an exclusive club of rare car owners ngl.
This car is definitely getting the royal treatment from me. Only the best oils and parts for this one (:
I felt the same way when I saw the first one at my local scrap yard with a blown engine. I had never even changed engine oil before but it looked so amazing to me that I bought it and another donner car that had all the parts to fix it. I watched a lot of CZcams videos, borrowed tools from friends (they thought I went insane but I just had a dream) and 105 hours later, drove it off the lot. â€
I've had my 2011 Gen Coupe for 10 years now. And now daily a G80. Love the Coupe and the whole Genesis lineup. Hoping for a fancy new coupe under the Genesis badge in the future!
The Genny was the car I fell in love with and dreamed about getting when I was 16 years. Graduated high school and was able to score a 73k mile 2011 2.0T for 13k sticker price but a very sad 14% apr rate for 6 years. 5 years later, the car is paid off and sitting at 110k miles with a few mods and I have loved every single thing about it and can forgive the defects she has. Haven't had any issues besides the transmission feeling like it's slipping a lil but we all know them auto trannys suck! Will forever love my first car!!
I have 2012 5sp Auto, and I had auto transmission problems in the past. It just turned out to be low on ATF because of a leak from a cooler line. An AAMCO fixed it all up for only $110. The trans has been doing perfect since then for almost a year now. DO NOT take your Genesis Coupe to a dealer to service at all. The dealer I went to charged me $150 to tell me I needed a new transmission, which was complete bullshit. They were definitely trying to get me to trade in my car to sell. It was really fucking fishy.
Since Genesis Coupes are rare and sell fast and well, dealers seem to be doing anything to get their hands on them.
@@colincrippin375 I changed my ATF not too long ago and saw it was pretty dirty and smelled a little burnt. Not a good sign but a week later I was changing my coolant and realized my trans cooler lines were busted, bent lines causing it to leak! I changed it and since then my ATF has remained pretty clean, checked after maybe a week or 2. Hopefully that was my issue!
I love that you made this video! It's so true, nobody talks about them and they're seriously good cars! If I ever decide to get another sports car, it'll have to be that 3.8 and manual transmission. đđŒđđŒ
Bought my 2011 3.8 r-spec 2 weeks ago. Absolute blast of a car to drive, better sound and comfier than a g35 too
I love my 2010 Coupe. She's got the track package, beyond that I've kept her stock. Took her up into the mountains, and it was the most fun I've ever had in a car.
The older body looks sharper and slick, but I might be a bit biased.
As someone whoâs never owned a genesis I can unbiasedly confirm that the older body is muchhh sharper and sleeker. The new one essentially looks like a velostar coupe from the front. Too soft looking for me
@@anthonym6918 it's very...generic. Not exactly a bad thing, but I'd expect such a car to stand out a little more.
Me too, 2010, track, manual 3.8. underrated!
@@swagstein9322 hey I've got a 10 bk1 track manual too! They were hard to find 5 years ago. I'm sure they're the rarest now.
@@katiemarsh9992 I have one just like gen 2010 it is my project and reading the comments I think I will stay with it for a long time and I will upload it to the maximum power
Really happy with my bk2 3.8, going on a little over 2 years with it and I donât regret it. I wanted something different than the frs/brz or 350/370z that I see everywhere.
Always great videos with you brother! đđđ»
Very decent performance for the 2016 3.8 ... Lucky to buy the last production car and have zero issues since then †... happy to see it stands out and becoming rare

Had my genesis for a while, I fell in love with it. I end up getting into and accident just a month after paying it off. Was able to walk away without a scratch but canât say the same about the Gen. Is this what pain feels like?

literally someone rear ended me a month ago and got to walk away with a scratch and my car is gone forever. âčïž & I donât want another car, I want MY car
Good video! When my previous car became too much to handle, I decided I wanted something else. I spent over a year looking for a V6 manual Genesis Coupe. I spent a lot of time on Carvana as you mentioned. Everytime a Genesis Coupe popped up, it was sold within hours and I couldn't get my hands on one. I forgot that the Genesis sedans had V8 options at the time and I stumbled across a 2012 4.6L sedan. It was at an Infiniti dealer in the lot with a sticker that said "not for sale" but I immediately called the Infiniti dealer and told them to hold it for me. She only had 22k miles on her. I LOVE owning weird obscure cars, I've owned a lot in my day. I REALLLLLY love the Genesis models in particular. I was dreaming of a V6 manual Genesis Coupe but my one stipulation for getting a car that was automatic, is that it had to be a V8 and I got it. I still would like to own a Genesis Coupe with a manual trans. I wish Hyundai would continue to make the coupe!
Thank you so much for featuring me I really appreciate it!!! The Tiburon community has been waiting a long long time for some love!!đđ please please do a âso you want a Hyundai Tiburonâ vidđ
I like the older front bumper look more than the newer one. They seem cool though.
Finally someone that agrees
I'm the opposite. I have a 2010 coupe but I love the newer style.
Only if they were able to fit the genesis coupe with the V8 from the sedan
its been done
That was the original plan, maybe if they made it to gen3, worked out the transmissions better and put that v8 in it would've been a bonafide korean muscle car
If you want to run the auto trans from the sedan you can everything bolts up , dont get the gdi 5.0
Honestly I tried to look around for shops willing to do it but it was 20k plus
@@NutsRQuaking brother you got to get your hands dirty,you know? public auto auctions, junkyards, harbor freight, RockAuto etc

I personally own a BK1 2.0t although it's slow it never fails to put a smile on my face whenever I drive it. Also, it gets lots of compliments since there isn't many Genny's in my area.
Gonna be honest. All a car needs is the basic requirements as well as: AC, radio, kinda peppy engine, 5 or 6 speed manual, practically indistictable. And I'll drive that forever.
Ironic that Fi dropped this while I've been looking for a Genny coupe for months now in my area.
Literally me rn, I've contacted hella sellers in the last 2 months
You and thousands of others since the Genesis brand took flight. They're bought up as fast as they're posted with the recent surge in buyers with financing capability, along with the fact that for what they are, they're fucking steals.

Owned the coupe for 5 years and loved it. Moved into the genesis g70 3.3 and absolutely wouldn't look back. Night and day improvement from hyundai.
Genesis gang really appreciates this content Alex. Thank you for highlighting this platform. Really wish hyundai would resurrect it under the hyundai brand still.
I've had my 2013 2.oT since 2014 and have not had ONE issue with it with the exception of my Cat Conv. going bad (mine was a flood salvage I got for 11k with TT&L so I could see how a cat might go bad if it sat in water for a while lol) It had 26k miles when I bought it and we are at 120k now. It's been an absolute freaking blast. I absolutely LOVE that you don't see it around that much and LOVE that anyone who has one knows when you've modified yours.
I tell everyone that if for ANY reason, Venom (my Genesis) didn't make it, I'd buy the exact same car. It's not even a question. It' s just such a dope vehicle.
The ONLY things I dislike about the Genesis is:
1. mine kind of creaks and groans. Idk if that's a mine specifically thing, but the chassis feels like it's tired lol
2. The aftermarket community is not huge
3. The Traction Control is massively invasive. Gotta turn that off
the genny 2.0t was my first car and i miss it dearly from time to time; such a fun platform that actually turned out to be decently reliable
i just recently bought a 2014 genny 2.0t and iâm absolutely in love with it. Yeah, it may not be the fastest car but itâs an absolute beauty and it drives so nicely

Awesome video dudes! And itâs still a great entry level platform for modifying. The 2013+ 2.0T can make a decent amount of power and when maintained properly can hold decent power as well without building the bottom end!

I own a 2012 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Rspec and I love it. It's my only car, I drive it every day, and haven't once regretted it. I'm even revamping proper easy to use brackets for headlight modifications because by the time I got my car, they didn't exist for the first generation anymore. I even finally fixed a few deferred maintenance items so now in my eyes it is nearly a perfect car as far as how Hyundai designed it to be.
Hope you reply but how's your over all maintenance, I've hear there turbos go out frequently?? , I'm trying to decide between a g37 or a genesis coupe
@@kevinzaragoza9117 I don't own a turbo, I have a 3.8 V6. I read more about blown up engines than turbos.
Thank you for the Genesis coupe appreciation definitely an under rated platform. I am a current owner and have owned a total of 3 of them throughout the years currently building a 12 2.0t doing a full forged build but the information about the theta and 4b11t having a lot of interchangeable parts is not true. While they were co-developed between Chrysler, Hyundai and Mitsubishi they are very different the theta is a 2 bolt main design and open deck while the 4b11T is a 4 bolt main and semi closed also the main journals and rod journals are different dimensions the 4b11t is more stout in every way. The head gasket is even different they do share similarities in the head design as far as valveâs and springs and buckets go and cam shafts. Valve covers can also be swapped these motors are more like 2nd cousins than brothers.
I have a 2013 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track model with all the bells and whistles. I live in Florida, and tried dealing with local dealers in the Tampa Bay area, with no luck. So I went shopping on line, found three great deals, one in Missouri, one in Georgia, and one in Texas. Worked out the best deal with the Texas dealership just north of Galveston. I flew from Tampa International, they picked me up at the airport in Texas, and in two hours, I had my brand new Platinum Silver Genesis, and a $400 check in my pocket to reimburse me for my flight. Took the long way home and did some sight seeing for two and a half days going home to St. Pete Beach. I've had Corvettes, Mustangs, and Camaros, but I will never get rid of this fabulous car. I constantly get compliments on this car, every where I go. Garage kept, with only 39,000 miles on it today, and it still looks showroom new. Another great thing about the Genesis Coupe is that it is one of the safest sports cars you can own. The crash rating is one of the best with comparable sized cars. Whereas the Elantra, Veloster, and Sonata have awful ratings. The people at the Hyundai/Genesis dealership here where I keep it serviced have told me for the past two years that a Genesis Coupe prototype has been designed and that a planned release is coming soon. I would love to see that.
I've had my Genny for 7 years now. And I'm ready to move on. The car definitely caters to a younger used car market generation. Most people with the money for a new sports coupe are into "better" vehicles. I've watched so many Genny groups die as a result as people move on to other platforms.
Iâm in the same boat. The only time Iâd get another one would be if I had money to own several cars. Or an insane deal on a very low mileage bk2 3.8 :p
they make a pretty good entry-level stepping stone, but envisioning a genesis coupe as your vehicular endgoal is laughable.
@@jaime55924 bro i got an amazing deal on a low mileage bk2
I hear you man, I've had my genny since november 2010... definitely saw the peak of the community and now its more so become the "entry" level car for younger kids highschooler-ish. I still have mine and continue to modify and just have it as a project/weekend car. That being said its been 11 years ago I got the car when i was 21, I've grown got an actual professional job so of course the change in my pocket has grown and so has my taste and now more practical cars are in my eyes. I will never sell my genny tho!
Yea I feel that. After having my bk1 track edition for 5 years, I am ready to move on to something nicer. A Lexus RCF is at the top of my list.
I loved my BK1 GT 3.8 so much, I ended up buying a BK2 3.8 Rspec. These cars are amazing for the price. its different too. I'm tired of seeing the wrx, miata, mustang, brz, challengers as the go-to build car. I almost feel the need to buy another one just to use as parts for when my current one needs stuff
I got my 2013 BK2 in March. Iâve never loved a car as much as I love this car
My first car got totaled in a flood a couple months ago and I just bought a stock 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T with 60k miles. I love it already!!!
I love the Hyundai Genesis Coupe!!! It's a beautiful and aggressive car. Ok, I admit, I Love Hyundai Period!!! I got one and would buy them ALL, from cars to SUV's, if I could. The platform is evolving, but yes, it has its quirks just like any other platform! I have a '15 Sonata, and it is the BOMB! IT rides like a Cadillac and looks like a Lexus. I've dropped it, bought wheels from y'all, and done some other things(mods) to make it my 2nd wife, if that makes any sense!đ€Ș
Thank you for runescape references guys. I feel a little bit less ashamed about mining rocks for 6 hours straight.
Coming from a Gen2 2.0T owner, I absolutely love the cars man. The car definitely has its respective pros and cons but overall it is, or atleast it was until this new market showed up, very well built machine for what you paid. Coming up on seven years I've had the hunk, about 115,000 miles, and she still rips and handles like day one. I've never had any serious issues with the car either, besides the a.c blower motor starting to act up recently even though that's hardly serious?? Video is dead accurate on both the facts and the appreciation, though it is nice to see a little more people starting to talk about them.
thank you for making me love the geneee again
I've seen quite a few of them here in Alberta Canada, dudes love driving them tuned, or stock.
I had my 2011 2.0T for 2 years and ended up parting out to get my 2018 Kia Stinger 3.3T and as much as I love the stinger I will always love the genesis, it really is a great car that people bash on for no reason. So much aftermarket support with plenty of power mods available.
I owned a Honda Ridgeline and a Genesis Coupe. Best two vehicles I ever owned. I knew both of them inside and out. Iâm sure some people that didnât like them at first went out and bought one or the other after talking to me. I guess I ended up being more convincing than I thought đ
Owned mine for over 11 years now. Got a BK1 2.0T track back in 2010. Turns out it was the only year they made a 2.0 with that trim. Still in the community but not as active as I use to be. Up until a few weeks ago, I listed it for sale and got an offer and was ready to sell but didnât pull the trigger. It creeks and what not but itâs been pretty solid throughout the years.
I wanted a genesis coupe but ended up with a g35. Both are amazing cars!
Same I ended up with a 37
Iâm literally buying one in like 2 months hopefully. Love these cars.
I once went through a canyon in a veloster n and came out the other side with a new appreciation for fwd cars.
Funny Iâm watching this from you guys when like a half hour ago I just saw one with your sticker in the back window at Target here in Jersey
The bk1 2.0 can make nearly 300whp with just intake, down pipe and 550cc injectors. Itâs actually fairly solid. I had ended up big turboing mine which was fun. Thereâs some decent market for aftermarket parts for them.
The bk2 is superior the bk1 2.0t killed the hype for the car
@@BabaYagaRacing all these comments & no one asked
The bk1 canât make 300 though, the turbo was a baby and it capped at like 270ish hp
@@BabaYagaRacing yeah the Bk2 is superior. Has stronger connecting rods, slightly different turbo and better tune from factory. Personally Iâm biased towards the bk1 because I like the front end more
@@richardledesma1675 no the bk1 definitely can make 300whp on stock turbo with all bolt ons with e-85. Although if you want to do that the easier way people just get a stuffed turbo or big turbo
On this episode of âIs Alex Okay?â, we talk about Parental Truamaaa!!!
I remember first seeing this car on the freeway back in 2016 and thinking "damn that's a sexy car." Then quickly catching up to it to see exactly what it was, and being completely mind blown when I realized that it was a Hyundai. Because back then if anyone remembers Hyundai caught alot of shit for being cheap hunks of junk. But I didn't care I knew then like I know now that I wanted one, and can proudly say I am an owner of a 2010 2.0t R-spec and I LOVE IT.
I bet you still love it too! đđ
A fi video with donut and muscle vs tuners a dream come true
"Gotta deal with leaking" me looking at the lake in my trunk do to shotty gaskets

Mentionned Runescape? allright Liked and Subscribed instantly
I love our little talks đ
Sitting in my gen coupe watching this video lol. The BK1 is not weak with a tune and fbo the car moves nicely that's the setup I'm running. I get great mpg, it's reliable and it's my daily.
