The 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe has the chops to compete with sports cars in the luxury market and their beefy, muscle car cousins. With its sporty handling, rear-wheel drive capability and performance, and its just plain old good looks, the Genesis Coupe is a nice little sports car for anyone who wants the excitement without the major price tag. New for the 2011 model year is the R-Spec with a 3.8-liter, V-6 engine. Additionally, inside you'll find upscale materials and soft leather on the steering wheels of all models. The Coupe boasts good stability on the highway and zippy handling on the street. It's plenty of sports car for most enthusiasts.

Driving the 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

The 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe boasts impressive body control and offers a sophisticated quality of ride. The steering is responsive and acceleration in the V-6 is peppy. And, unlike other cars with front-wheel drive, the Genesis holds a straight line during rapid takeoff - thanks to its rear-wheel drive. By the way, when we say take-off we mean it. The Genesis Coupe boasts zero-to-60 in 5.7 seconds. Nice! The engine sounds bring to mind the glory days of muscle cars, throaty and thrilling. Push this bad boy to the limit and you'll still be satisfied with its handling. Sometimes with sports cars, good handling is pursued by car companies while ride
comfort is sacrificed - not so with the Coupe. Passengers can enjoy the ride, without being bumped and jostled, while the driver has fun too. Safety features include standard four-wheel antilock disc brakes, an electronic stability system, side curtain airbags, side impact airbags, active front-seat head restraints and an optional sonar backup warning system.

Inside the '11 Genesis Coupe

You don't buy the Genesis Coupe for its seating but aside from the two front seats there are two small rear that are better used for small packages than for full-sized adults. But the 10 cubic foot trunk is just right for packing for a long road trip. Overall, though, the interior is beautifully styled with upgraded materials and an even softer than previous models leather steering wheel which also features the audio and cruise-control buttons. The blue backlit gauges are soothing and easy to read. The swooping dash and stylized cabin is just right for a car that provides this much performance. Seats are comfortable and provide the right level of support for driving long distances. New for 2011 are the chrome accents on gauges, the shifter bezel and other knobs. Interior features also include remote keyless entry and Bluetooth and iPod connectivity - all standard, leather upholstery (optional), available automatic climate control and an optional touchscreen navigation system.
