2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine

A high clutch engagement point, a wonky gear lever, and abrupt power delivery make the Hyundai Genesis coupe 2.0T a tricky car to drive smoothly.

I commend Hyundai for including this car -- and this powertrain -- in its lineup, but refinement is not one of the Genesis coupe's strong points.
