First Drive Review: 2013 Hyundai Genesis 2.0T R-spec Coupe Review Plus Senior Driver Notes by Marty BernsteinSenior Editor-at-large Auto writers lead a tough life. We get to drive at least one new car a week, every week of the year and then report our objective opinions about the vehicle. Naturally some we like more than others. The newly updated 2013 Hyundai Genesis coupe is one of the best of my drives this year for a variety of reasons. In one very sleek package Hyundai’s two door vehicle has combined distinctive styling, amazing power, handling and drive dynamics with an aggressive interior and pricing it at a sensational value compared to its main competitors – Ford’s Mustang and Chevy’s Camaro. The 2013 Genesis is not just an update or refreshing (hate that term!) Under the hood prospective buyers can select from two engines: a 274 hp, 4-cylinder that hits peak torque at just 2,000 rpm and gets 31 mpg; the other is a direction injection V6 that’s been moved up to 348 hp with neck snapping torque.
