What bothers you about the Genesis Coupe??

To start off, i love my red 3.8 GC.
It's the best car i've ever driven (Granted, i'm only 19 and have driven like 2 other cars :p )

However, the Gen is far from perfect. A few things about the car really piss me off:

- No rear windshield wipers. What's up with that?? the 350z has one doesn't it?? the car has freaking anti-condensation for the rear window but doesn't have wipers :confused: (It rains about 4 month a year here.)
- The horn sounds like ****. It's really high pitched. Sounds like a scooter is honking. :mad:
- No seat-belt holders to keep them at reach. I got used to twisting my arm that far back but every time i have a chick with me it's the same remark "Why is the seat-belt so far back?!?" :broken:

There are more but these are the main problems i have with the Coupe.

What about you guys??

- Front passenger seat-belt flapping and knocking the trim on the highway with the windows down : super annoying

- Door windows go up with engine turn off, but sunroof doesn't : WTF ?

- Every time you get in the car, the bluetooth connection message is annoying

- The weight of the flywheel

- No locking mecanism on the shifter to prevent to go in reverse while downshifting into second gear

- First gear hard to get in while moving with the car cold (even with better oil)

- Boost spike (only on 2.0)

- Rattles

- Headrests are so forward, they get in the way when you drive with a helmet

- No lateral support adjustment on the seats

that's all i can think of for now, after a year and a half of ownership
but i still love it !!!!!!

You can adjust the headrest by pushing it from the back.

And there is a lever on the left side of the driver seat to adjust lumbar support i think.

read windshield wiper would have made the back look like crap (this is my personal opinion) less clutter = better

the horn does sound like crap, my friend's tiny mini cooper has a louder horn, but you can always upgrade your horn and it is fairly easy to do (there's a DIY here somewhere)

there is a seat-belt holder on the left side of your seat, if you're using it already and still can't reach it.. sucks to be you? :eek:

oh and I'm not sure how these things can really "piss" you off, they annoy me a bit at best. Remember, you're driving a Hyundai (the company that gives you the most value for your buck)

If I were you, I would be thankful for being given a GC at the age of 19 (I'm assuming your parents bought you the car, if you're paying it yourself, kudos to you and don't take offense at my comment)

The seat-belt holder is down on the floor which does not really do much to keep it close. + doesn't solve the passenger side dilemma.

I live in Lebanon and yes my parents bought my car (for 43000 $ US btw) and i'm thankful for it everyday :)

Those things piss me off because i do on average about 150 miles of driving each day (don't ask) and comfort becomes an issue.

No worries, i don't take offense at someone's opinion.

+1 for the headlight condensation

I'll have to re open it and re seal it, but im lazy lol

things that annoy me:
-wipers occasionally park part-way up the windshield for reasons unknown
-creaking sunroof (lube it with silicone spray and it lasts about a day before it starts again)
-completely random headlight condensation

things that are a motherf**king c**k sucking dirty wh*re b*tch of a fat-ass annoyance:

-the GODDAMN DMF
-my paint is F*CKED

- The stereo doesn't keep "Random" selected when you shut off the car. (Nav model)
- Impossible to get to an artist in the middle of the alphabet because there is no Search feature with your iPod. (Nav model)
- Seat belt rattle
- No way to roll up windows with the remote key
- Too many chicks want rides, I can't afford all the condoms.

There isn't really anything that bothers me, but maybe a little annoyances here and there. The one thing that definitely bothers the crap out of me is everytime I open the freakin door. It feels like I'm opening a car from the 1970's the door handle does not feel sturdy at all and gives a nice clunking sound. Anybody else know what I'm talking about/does it bother them?

:confused: never happened with me :dunno: did you try it on another GC? you should let the dealer check it out.

I like my car so far, but there is definitely stuff that bothers me day to day:
-Coming from an Audi, the quality of the trim is not so great inside, but I understand that I paid much less for the car.
-The trunk cover behind rear seats right above the the speaker, rattles with music not being even loud."I dont know, maybe I should glue it down. Will take it apart when I have more time"

So far those are the only things that bother me.

im annoyed by the seat belt clip flapping against the column when i have the windows down too.

that and the creaking i get from my rear driver's side sometimes. i should go back to the dealership to have them take a look but i just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Ya I get that seat belt rattle too which is pretty annoying. Interior quality could be better but I'm not really complaining. Slight gaps near the fenders/front bumper. Overall though, completely satisfied with my purchase.

Some of these are old, but I'm new, sorry. :)

Radio does not hold the presets when the battery is disconnected.

Bluetooth annoys the **** out of me when I leave the car and the phone is still connected to the damn car even when I'm like 50 yards away.
LOL! Sorry, that just struck me as funny.
I WAS looking at the Bluetooth as a positive thing, apparently it has many annoyances to it.


Staggered wheel set-up.
Really? I love that! Usually people are trying to stagger cars that didn't come that way.


That people ask me if it's a tiberon...
This. :)


-That I get in trouble with the police when I want to pull some lateral Gs
:rofl:


The ESC in this car is rather intrusive

Agreed. I plan to track mine, so I asked permission to test the handling on the test drive (within reason).
I noticed without the ESC on there wasn't much communication of when it was going to break loose and when it came back, it snapped pretty hard. I can adjust this with suspension tuning, but it surprised me.
Tried an old hillclimb pass with the ESC on and I couldn't believe how badly it stepped in and backed off the power.
Has anyone developed a new ESC program for this via a flash or anything?


NO CLOTHES HANGERS!!!! at first i didnt mind... now it really bugging me
Would something like this wortk?

The largest thing that bothers me about the Genesis, is that I don't have mine yet!

Amen!! :)
