Car Profiles - Hyundai Genesis Coupe

HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE

The mid-life refresh gave the Genesis Coupe a new face and, for models with a stick shift, Brembo brakes. Whatever engine you pick, it will give you that smile on your face and handling is a far cry from the Korean cars of the past.

The Good: Handles well
The Bad: Seats tight at the back
