    Default 2013 Genesis Coupe to replace my 328.

    Hey guys, so I heard about the 2013 Genesis Coupe and decided to do some research. Turns out there has been significant horsepower increases in the 2.0T and the V6 version. My lease is about to finish for my 2010 bmw 328i and i was thinking about getting the 4 cylinder Genesis coupe to replace it. The new one puts out 275hp and 275 torque from its 2.0 twin scroll turbo engine, which is a pretty big jump from my puny 230 hp 328, so i know thats going to be a upgrade, and also its a four cylinder so since its going to be my everyday driver it'll be great on gas too. My question to you guys is , how bad is the interior quality going to be compared to my base model 328? My bmw has the leatherette which doesn't feel really nice, so im thinking its not going to be too bad of a change. What do you guys think?

    Practicality is what you are getting if you have the genesis and it's a coupe but you will enjoy it just modify all the things you like for a car interior and if you like some boost you can tune it properly good luck.

    My mechanic has done some upgrades/tuning on a few of the new Genesis 4cyl coupes and he said it is probably the easiest to work on vehicle he's had in the shop, very well thought out and built. He said with a few simple boltons you can get 350+hp and still get 30mpg.

    The interior is slightly less flashy than the BMW, but I don't think the quality is much different. I travel a lot and in the last 2 months I rented a '11 3series and also a '11 hyundai azera while on business and spent a few days in each, and I really did not feel that the BMW was better in any significant way. The BMW just has better badge status, if thats important to you.
