2009 Hyundai Genesis (continued)
|
|
|
Summary
The 2009 Hyundai Genesis luxury sedan offers lots of features for the dollar. When it comes to sport sedan credentials, the Genesis is surprisingly capable, though not a match for the best in the class. With a smooth ride, lots of interior room, and willing power, the Genesis is a viable choice that fits between established luxury brands and the less-expensive but capable Chrysler 300 and Pontiac G8. Genesis customers can choose between the capable 3.8 model that provides better handling and fuel economy or a quicker 4.6 model that has better steering but pushes a little more in fast turns.
NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Kirk Bell filed this report from Santa Barbara, California.
