the new 2.0t genesis although is I4 turbocharged, uses 87 Octane
Regular gas FTW !!
I went to the Hyundai dealership this week at Richmond Auto Mall just to take a quick peek at the genesis.

VTAAAAK!

Well they used to be especially the regular plain old civic. However over the years the civic has gotten a larger engine one gen after the next and their engine nowadays are pretty much on par with the competition imho

The si and genesis 2.0T are about equal in terms of performance, both around .9 on the skidpad and average 15 second 1/4 mile times. The genesis is a touch cheaper.
But really, they are two completely separate classes of cars and shouldn't really be compared together. FWD sport compact vs RWD sport coupe....

my first car was a prelude. it had the 2.3L. i checked the engine specs and they are almost identical with the mazda3's 2.3L, from hp numbers, tq numbers, and even redline.
it was plenty of enough to work with as a first car. both cars were fun to drive too for their price range.

I don't know about the performance on the hyundai, but I know the K20 engines respond very well with bolt-ons. Stupid good actually.
!SG - that's a nice first car. Mine was an 89 camry!

I wouldnt even have to do any sort of engine mods, its already a beast stock

My argument is that the Genesis coupe is good bang for buck because its RWD and it has a turbo. RWD, in comparison to FWD platform, cost more to manufacture, so technically, you are getting "more" from the genesis. The advantages of turbo and RWD goes beyond its stock form, the main advantage of both is so you can efficiently lay down the added power (if you wish to mod it) at a much cheaper price compared to the SI.

Stupid good actually. | turbo cars are waay easier to make power with, and for cheaper. Genesis gets 10hp 12tq for free, with 5 mins worth of work. how much does it cost to get that out of an SI?
one downfall is hyundai engeneered the exhaust and intake so well that you can't make any power with aftermarket intake or exhaust until you go to a bigger turbo.
just wait till someone gets inside the ECU and the real power will unfold, for cheap.

Conclusion: MS3,SI,Genesis,Mini Cooper-S would all have their ass fed to them by a stock 17 year old 5.0 mustang with 275000kms on the motor.
If you think Honda's are underpowerd and torque less,dont't buy one.

Well a 5.0 Mustang is pretty much a POS
But how about a modern V6 camaro, way more power than any of these imports and looks cooler
