Very nice. I test drove the 2.0T and the V6 Genesis Coupe. The V6 fits the chassis much better. It felt too big for me, though, during spirited driving. AND the backseat has NO headroom for adults, I was very surprised at the lack of space.

I got a great deal on a leftover RX-8 R3 and went with that instead. The rear seats have tons more head room and the car handles amazingly well and feels light and agile, much like the s2000. I've already tracked the RX-8 and it was excellent completely stock.

Congrats on the buy. I thing 24k for a Hyundai isn't bad when you look at all you get. Hyundai is building the cars that Honda forgot how to make.

For me it would have been between the RX-8 and Genesis Coupe. I am about 80% sure I would have made the same decision... only in white and the V-6. 24k is not that bad at all for a car this beautiful. Nice choice.

What's the different between the 2.0T and the 2.0T R-Spec?

I felt the power difference from the v6 was obvious, but so was the extra pounds over and in front of the front axle.

^I agree. The 2.0T felt more nimble than the V6 and I liked the handling better on it vs. the V6.
