Well this kind of stinks: the week is over and I have to give up the Genesis. For me, this is one of the great cars of (calendar year) 2009: sporty, fun, exhilarating and a bargain for a car that looks like it should cost a lot more than it does. I have said it before and I’ll say it again: Hyundai doesn’t need to undercut their competition to sell cars, their cars are just as good if not better, but the fact that they do price them so low makes them even more appealing.

Of course, with a large 3.8-litre V6 engine, fuel consumption suffers, so over the course of the week I averaged 11.8L/100km. This is what one would expect with 300hp, these days. For comparison purposes, I averaged 12.6L/100km in the Nissan 370z and 10.5L/100km with the BMW Z4 35i.
