hyundai's warranty

IS-SV

btw, do you subscribe to C&D or R&T? IMHO, it's cheap and it's worth it.

cool review. I think its a great car for a first generation vehicle. Damn good design, features, power, and safety

joe80

i've already read those reviews! now i want to know what's his take on gen coupe vs. G37coupe. it's gonna be interesting.

rdgdawg

Knowing Mike's taste, he's dead on from what I've seen. For me, the Touring isn't the Track version. Again, once one arrives here, I'll give it a spin

Great job Mike!

Sure. Anytime.

That website (apparantly) only tells part of the story. I've shopped for Hyundais before (helping other people by new ones...not for myself), and the dealerships say that the warranty, as a whole, is only transferable, upon resale, to the immediate family (mother, brother, sister, father, etc...), and that the 10/100 part on the drivetrain only applied to Hyundai-designed parts. The non-Hyundai (or supplier) sourced parts in the drivetrain have the same 5/60 as the rest of the car.

Now, of course, that's what the company said the last time I bought a new Hyundai with someone.....a little while ago. It may have recently changed again, with the drop-off in sales with the recession. If so, then it may be an even better deal.

Thanks, Russ.

What's the latest prospect, now, in your own car shopping?
Have you driven a BMW 335i? That car, IMO, is a drivers' delight, and it has, I believe, an xi AWD option for those six-month-long WI winters. The Genesis Coupe (also a drivers' delight) comes close in roadability, but lacks AWD...it is better off in the garage when the snow hits.

335ix is leading candidate again, most specifically because of the long winters as mentioned... but Vette's peaking back see my GM story post...

Also, since I'm pretty confident where GM is heading (Chpt 11), the Tahoe is getting a serious look, ESPECIALLY in light of the savings right now... see same post

mmarshall

Sure. Anytime.



Bean is at least partly correct, in that DID take Hyundai a while to put some power into their rather wimpy engines....their HP/torque figures did seem a little overrated. They also lagged behind somewhat in gas mileage, too, despite the low power. But those days are gone now.....as I indicated in my answer to his post above. Hyundai does engines now that are fully competitive in both power and gas mileage.





Thanks. I have to call it like I see it.






The G37 Coupe also costs more. But, on a track, I don't know if the Genesis coupe will outhandle the G37 or not. First, I haven't driven a G37 (I plan to, at joe80's request), only older G35's. Second, I drove the Genesis on the street, not on a track, but I gave it a good enough test to get a good idea of its power, braking, and handling capabilities. And they are indeed good.


Yes, using the ZF transmission's paddles is like flicking a light switch on and off, but that is negated somewhat by their awkward design and mounting.

No question about it. The 3.8 Track's chassis is superb, at least under the conditions I drove it.



I wasn't.....until I started it up and took off. THEN I was surprised.

It's actually 24%. Although 24% more rigid body strength than an E46 M3 is quite impressive nonetheless.

Only the 2.0T and 3.8 Track models get the Torsen.
