They start at the same price (the Genesis coupe is actually $55 cheaper starting) too but the Genesis has more legroom and headroom.

OP, if you have an extra $3k to spare though, go for the V6. Mileage isn't bad at all, 17/26. If you haven't test drove one, I highly suggest you do, it is definitely of the most func ars to drive at $25k.

haha yeah I'm actually going this week/weekend and test driving one. Their warranty seems hard to beat, and looks like you get good value for the money.

But, the prices she always gets quoted for work at the dealer are on par with what service costs for a BMW or Mercedes. This for a car that costs about half of many of those models.
Yeah, I would expect the per-hour labor rate for Mini service to be the same as BMW since they're essentially the same organization. Presumably, you get something more of a luxury car "service experience" than you would with a Honda, but I'm not sure that's a compelling reason for most people to pay more for service costs.

Well I pulled the trigger. I am now a proud owner of a:

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
3.8 Grand Touring 6speed manual
Tsukuba Red

Was a Demo with 3500mi, got it for $24900,

That's a hell of a car for the price.

Congrats, looks like a good deal.
I guess you enjoy the test drive a lot.

Yeah test drive was good. My other car was dying a slow death and had to act quicker than I wanted, but I'm extremely happy.
