thats good news to hear. i like the fact that they finally programmed the door lock feature from the factory,instead of having it done after the car is deliverd to the customer.
Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0t Test Drive (Redcast)
http://theredbelt.com/2009/0Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T Test drive [Redcast]
09 February, 2009
The car was real fun to drive, although I do demand more power than the 2.0T offers. However the turns were tight and the suspensions stiff (this may turn some people off).
The Turbo's boost is hardly felt, it seems to kick in after 2000 RPM but it isn't noticed unless you are trying to notice it on purpose. The doors open and close firmly which is pleasant. The Mustangs and Camaros I've seen had their door rattle when I close them despite being brand new in the show room.
I didn't like the fact that the RPM was over 3000 when driving on 120 kph, guess the V6 will take care of this hopefully.
Smart features I liked: the boot (or trunk if you're American) is quite spacious for a car like this. Moreover, the two rear seats can be flattened to increase space. And you can do that directly from behind the car by pushing a button. You don't need to do it from inside the cabin.
Another tiny feature I liked was the locks. Most cars lock the doors when it starts to move, and so does this one. But the coupe actually opens the doors again for you when you shift the gear to "P". Cute!
Overall I am happy with the quality and ride. This car is perfect for a daily driver that does not mind a stiff sporty ride. It is also great for tuners that do not care for warranty.
Way to go Hyundai. It's cars like these that will make your brand a little more desirable and exciting

sounds promising...cant wait to test drive one myself
+1.....I had to pay $45 for 1/2 labor to get my BWM locks to auto lock at a roll.thats good news to hear. i like the fact that they finally programmed the door lock feature from the factory,instead of having it done after the car is deliverd to the customer.
Nice review, although I'm not sure I would want my doors to auto unlock..
My bmw's doors auto lock, and unlock by just pulling on the door handle twice when you want to get out.
I think most newer cars auto lock/unlock or can be programmed to do so...My bmw's doors auto lock, and unlock by just pulling on the door handle twice when you want to get out.
I dont like that lock feature at all. I hate my doors being locked when i'm in it
Sounds like someone needed a manual boost controller.
The Audi's at my job lock automatically at 10mph and don't require programming.
