As far as what we felt of the car, we really liked the 6-speed manual and the clutch was feather light and easy to get accustomed to. Buyers will certainly want to go with the manual which gives a better feel and the automatic with paddle shifters seems a bit delayed and not as sharp as you'd expect and simply just does not provide the same feel as a manual. The interior is a bit cheaper looking than the Mustang's and there is absolutely no room for anyone taller than 5'8". A plus on this car is that, you wouldn't want to be driving this car with three passengers anyway as this car has a driver's car feel and one you'd want to enjoy particularly with the R-Spec package. With a curbweight under 3,300 lbs. the 2.0T saves about 500 lbs. from the V6 and the weight difference is noticeable. Having the RWD setup with the LSD, camber adjustment and the other upgrades from the R-Spec package make this car a fun drive.
Where the Genesis really shines is in the low-slung seating position and overall driving feel of the car. The car sits down low and you really get the sense that you're in a sports coupe. Finally, between the great lease deals that were at our disposal, the great feel driving the car, and the incredible upgrades available with the R-Spec package, the Genesis is the clear winner in our books. Furthermore, with some boost tuning, I think this car can be tuned to 300+ hp.
Mustang V6
Pros: Great power and sound when you open the throttle. Great interior with room for 4 and Muscle Car feel.
Cons: Not as much rumble as the V8.
Hyundai Genesis 2.0T R-Spec
Pros: Great track ready feel and even better driving position. Incredible upgrades from the R-Spec package.
Cons: Small interior with little to no room in the rear. Cheaper interior feel.
