Whats up guys? I just got home from picking up my first, and definitely not last, S2K. I couldn't be happier with it so far, it drives so much better than my previous car (Genesis Coupe). Everything feels natural and tight. No rattles or loose pieces, the steering and shifter feel very precise. In short, I love it!
Also, I found the secret compartment!

Thanks guys! Definitely enjoying it. I'm a little surprised at how loud these cars are stock, I like it! I also like how mechanical it all seems. How you can hear everything working together, its awesome

Thanks! It's got some bad paint problems on the driver side, and hood, but I'll take care of that in time.

I came from a 2.0T Genesis. They're nice cars, don't get me wrong. But the transmission has problems, mine grinded into 5th sometimes, and it sometimes wouldn't go into 2nd when cold. Also, the interior felt cheap, it rattled and squeaked from various places. The car overall just felt kind of loose, it was put together in a sloppy fashion, and it showed. The biggest gripe I had with it was that they're just too damn big. I'm 5'6, and I looked like a kid in that thing. The S fits me much better!

Looks like you have a few issues with paint on the hood and fender of that Genesis too.
