I am possibly going to trade my 08 honda accord 3.5l v6 exL with navi,leather, sunroof and bluetooth for a 09 hyundai genesis sedan 3.8 tech.

I have loved this car since it came out. It is very reliable but I am wondering peoples thoughts. It is currently selling for $25,999 but I would only pay $22,999 otherwise I ain't buying it. Any opinions?

I am also worried as I live in canada and this car is REAR WHEEL DRIVE. We get really cold ass winters and snowy, icy etc...

holler at me guys!

Genesis > Accord in every aspect

Dave please don't put those donk ass chrome wheels on the Genesis if you get it.

snow tires would solve that problem. Gennys seem to sell regardless of the weather in Canada. Is the Accord paid for?

I think I'd do it if it was a 4.6L or an R-Spec, a 3.8 doesn't seem like a huge leap if you're coming from an AV6 EX-L...

Hapa DC5

They be spinnin...

Dave is a previous 3G TL owner if you guys couldn't already tell

Hapa DC5

I figured. I'm thankful that even though the G35/37s are becoming affordable used it's not the same crowd buying them as the 3G TLs lol.

I would get the Genesis...
Only issue I'd see is it probably won't hold it's value as well AND IMO, the Hyundais look really cutting edge for about 2 years then the style looks old. Maybe too many redesigns...even the original genesis looks outdated already.

You sound like an ass. Besides, G35/37s have been the choice of douches for as long as I can recall and I see this is still holding true. Good day Sir!

Hapa DC5

You sound like you're living in a bubble. Look at what your fellow 3G owners have to say..

How the fuck are you from Philly?

I think people are pricks totally mutually exclusive from the car they drive...the car just ends up being collateral damage.

The Genesis is a nice enough car (I'm driving a 4.6 right now), but don't expect it to be a high performer handling-wise. It rides more like a Lexus than a BMW.

BlueAc

iTrader: (2)

Maybe I need to be a little more clear. The reason why I said you sound like an ass is because you made a dumbass statement. CLtotheTL32 said Dave was a previous TL owner. From that you made your statement about the price of TL's coming down allowing a certain crowd to purchase it. What the hell does that have to do with the OP if he is a "previous" owner?

And yes I am from Philly. Born and raised in North Philly and now I live out in the county. What are you surprised because I dont fall into your stereotype and talk like dis yo?

ttribe

Good grief. Take this crap back to the 3G forum.

I would do it too, accord is so boring I think.

BlueAc

iTrader: (2)

I agree with this.

Hapa DC5

Who let him out? Maybe this will make it to ramblings

Hey. Don't throw that crap on us.

technically, it came from us.

someone has their sassy pants on! I say go for it, but your selling price is a bit high...

I have owned 99 Acura CL 3.0 coupe , I bought it new with 178 miles on it, 12 years later I only have 104,278 mile on it, and I have never had any major problems with it except the recall on transmission replaced for free thru Acura Dealeship. Since Acura is made by Honda everyone know they are very reliable, as for the Genisis, I would read user / owner reveiws to see what they think since they own the Genisis. I have been thinking about buying the Genisis Coupe as a every day driver car and keeping my 99 CL as a secondary car since they were only made for 3 years on that body style, which is the best looking I think. Defently do you homework before giving up a Honda.

Accord

Genesis....not

You live in Canada. You are NOT allowed to use ain't. Ever.

CAgine

of course, is this even a question.

Faster, better, luxurious..YES RWD may be a bitch in the snow, but nothing that a good set of winter tires won't fix (as you would have to replace for your accord anyways)

Much more powerful V6, more technology, MUCH better looking car. The newer Accord is the ugliest Accord ever made.

Eh, I sort of agree J. I just hate how they made the Coupe so damn big and bulky.

And disproportionate. The ass is huge, with nothing good under it (i.e. - no rear diff).

I own a Hyundai and even as a fan of Hyundai in general I didnt like the 2011 Genesis 3.8 I rented for one day. The steering even by Hyundai's less than stellar rep is way. Its just not ready for prime time if you like handling. Unless its the R Spec forget it. And body roll is bad.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

I don't think OP would be driving an Accord and looking at a Genesis if his primary concern was handling

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Really? I think you guys are nuts about the coupe...it's gorgeous.
But I digress...

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Don't get me wrong, I REALLY like the Accord Coupe, but it's unnecessarily huge compared to the last generation.

I also find that the chassis of the 8G doesnt communicate much at all compared to the 7G.

I used to really like the 8G coupe, but I guess it just didnt age well
