Car and Driver and Edmunds’ reviews.

C&D’s can be read, here.

The good:

Considering the price—always considering the price—Hyundai has bull’s-eyed the target, starting with specs that are right for enthusiasts. Firstly, it’s rear drive, the ne-plus-ultra credential for a sporty car. Also, the base 2.0-liter turbo offers wiggle room for tuners, the V-6 enough horsepower to satisfy if not electrify with its 5.7-second runs to 60 mph (all on regular gas!).

Was it tactile authenticity the engineers sought in giving the clutch a Viking heaviness? Maybe. The stubby, short-throw shifter glides in a satisfying tight path from gear to gear. We’re told shift smoothness is thanks to triple-cone synchronizers on the lower ratios. The RS3800 V-6 (RS stands for “rear-drive sport”) doesn’t rank with the great voices of our age, but it punches back when stepped on and with a high-protein burble not unlike a Z’s.

The bad:

Yet the exhaust note is soggy, the trunk aperture is a mail slot, highway refinement . . . isn’t, and the car badly needs a rear-window wiper.

The good:

Still, there’s no denying that this 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe turns in like no other Hyundai before it, and does so with far less body roll besides. There’s also no denying that the Genesis coupe is simply a fun car.

The bad:

At our test track, the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track hits 60 mph in 6.4 seconds (or 6.1 seconds with 1 foot of rollout as on a drag strip) and goes through the quarter-mile in 14.5 seconds at 97.9 mph. Those numbers are fine, but short of Hyundai’s “under 6 seconds” 0-60 claim and suspiciously pokey for a car with more than 300 hp.

This is odd, because Motortrend, C&D and Automobile all did the 0-60 per Hyundai’s claim.  I guess Edmunds driver was having an off day?
