Love that grill. Where did you get it?

 

I have 2010 3.8 Grand Touring (build date 2009) with 58000 miles. Is still runs great and is a joy to drive.

The only things that have failed are the brake master cylinder, the hood strut and the leather is a little thin with a small crack on the passenger seat.
It does have the steering pulls right and leaky tail lights/trunk issues.

I had one full tune-up recently other than that I have only done oil changes and tires. Even the brake pads are original.

I would be looking at getting a newer car if this one did not run so well and there was anything close to the Genesis Coupe available.

Some recent pics:

 

I bought my 2012 Track, 3.8 new and now have 156,000 miles. Best, most reliable car I've ever owned!

 

Congrats on your GenCoupe! Here's a Pic of mine

Little over 200k in my 2012 Track. She's s still running great but looks like I gotta change the foglight switch plus minor cosmetic work thats on the to do list for the long weekend ahead. I love the car but Im not sure what I can do to keep going another 100k or more while also increasing the power. I'd like to get at least 450hp to the wheels but I dont know how well it can handle a ton more power with the high milage but I imagine quality upgrades are just that plus the mileage came from a 3 hour daily commute for nearly 10 years... Kinda stuck on how or what route I should take.
Goodluck with yours

 

2012 Track model. Bought it with 10k miles in 2012. It has now 86k miles. It's my daily driver. No disappointments, so far. I do the maintenance by the book. No issues. Wished the interior was a bit more upscale. Other than that, it's been a great buy and a ton of fun to drive.

 

Give the interior a refresh. 😁

 

Seats are nice. who do you use for aftermarket parts that are not built by Hyundai? Anyway, its obvious you take care of your car and it looks good.

 

 

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a Genesis coupe V6. I've recently sold my 2.0t and am looking for a V6 model but I have an issue.


I'm getting a bit scared as I'm reading the reliability posts on how the V6 engines tend to "blow up". How common is this? Does this happen to all the trims? Does getting a bk1 vs bk2 have an effect on this?

I'm looking to buy a V6 with less then 50k kms and sell it shortly after 120k kms but I even hear how they blow up before that...

Thanks for the help 🙏

I purchased a '13 3.8 GT with an automatic; new from Hyundai. I know only basic info regarding Hyundai motors but for the most part they seem reliable. In fact, I bought a 2022 Genesis GV70 because of the coupes performance and reliability. Anyway, my wife drives the coupe, we keep it in the garage and have done its maintenance regularly. Replaced brakes, tires, shocks, struts, filters, AT fluid, and obviously oil. I have to admit I have not changed the plugs because they are so damn hard to get to so I will probably have my mechanic or dealer do the plugs. Anyway, My wife drives it and it has approx 92k miles. No issues or failures. I am impressed with its reliability and the cars speed. Is a fast car

I should of added I am not so impressed with its interior trim. The seats wear out, split, and the plastic trim parts thru out the car discolor. I am considering getting her a new car but for now, she is stuck with the 2013 but she does likes it 👍

 

Only have about 73,000 on my 2011 3.8 Track (6 speed manual). Zero engine issues (except for the cam chain rattle on some start ups. The dealership never would fix that and told me it was a non-issue. I kept the car but no longer go to that dealership.

I run my hard sometimes. And I run Mobil 1 oil, Hyundai oil filters and change both every 6,000 miles.

 

I have heard of a few spun bearings, but on the whole I don't think it is widespread. Maybe I am wrong. Others can weigh in.

 

My Bk1 3.8 had 1 previous owner, maintained pretty well according to carfax. its at over 230k miles and runs like new honestly. Take care of it and it'll take care of you. Grand Touring Model here. Manual.

 

Did you have to do any major repairs?

 

I've put 187k miles on my '13 3.8. OE engine, transmission, and suspension. She gets driven solid daily, seeing redline and having fun. I do proper maintenance and check oil religiously(even though she doesn't lose any) and it has been an extremely reliable vehicle for me. I will retire her from daily use this upcoming year and it will be well over 200k miles by then. I definitely got a great bang for my buck and have zero regrets.

 

What trim do you have? Is it a manual or a automatic

 

I think the issue is its a performance oriented car. People who buy them generally drive them harder than average and sometimes modify them for more power than what was originally intended.
IMHO the 3.8 BK1 or BK2 is at least as reliable and probably more so than average, but if used hard and or modified beyond its original intended use and design they sometimes fail like anything else out there would under the same circumstances.
Since used is the only option the trick is to find one that hasn't been abused or heavily modified.
Good hunting. 👍

I wouldn't be too concerned if it weren't for the fact that there are many Genny's with engine swaps for sale

 

Who are you hearing they blow-up at such a low mileage..far below the warranty? There is at least one person on this forum and I believe several who have north of 200k miles on their 3.8 engine. That engine is still in use on some models. Engines usually blow up because of poor maintenance and treatment. My BK1 2.0T had 134k miles on it when I traded the car and it still ran like new.

 

The 2.0t engine is a good reliable engine, it's the 3.8 that concerns me. The term brown engine is usually referring to spun rod bearings. At least for the Genesis groups.
