Five-Point Inspection: 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track

4. Touchy Gas, Clutch Makes it Sporty Whether You Like it or Not

All 348-hp and, more importantly, 295 lb-ft of torque are commandable with just millimeters of input from your right foot. The six-speed manual transmission in our test car also operates with a hair-trigger clutch via your left foot.

Jumping off the line is easy, but try just going for a cruise or worse, getting stuck in traffic. The competition, like the Mustang, are much more forgiving and much easier to drive relaxed. The Genesis is easy to stall, and can be hard to keep smooth.
