Brand new Hyundai Genesis or a Used Audi TT Coupe?

I'm planning on getting a new coupe, but can't decide.

Which is a better choice, getting a brand new 2010 model of Hyundai Genesis?

or a used 2000-ish model of Audi TT coupe?



No biases please :)Brand new Hyundai Genesis or a Used Audi TT Coupe?I would without a doubt go for the Hyundai. I have driven the Genesis (both 2.0 and 3.8 with the 6MT) and they are pretty quick, well-handling cars. The Genesis is not your typical Hyundai. They are solidly built, have lots of road presence and come pretty well equipped provided you get some options. You should also know that Hyundai has one of the best warranties out there. The downside to the Genesis is that if you have to deal with snow, the Genesis only comes with RWD as opposed to the Audi's FWD or Quattro AWD. You will be virtually unable to use the Genesis in the snow.



Audis of the past have a poor history of reliability and I personally do not like the design of the TT. I have had a 2010 S5 for 9 months and I have already had a number of reliability issues with it, most importantly clutch problems, to less serious (sound system failure, rattles and creaks, clearcoat coming off rims). I do not doubt that you will experience some problems with the used TT. Take into consideration the TT seats only 2, whilst the Genesis seats 4.



Simply put, the Genesis coupe is a hugely better car than a last (and in some ways current) generation TT. It will without a doubt be much more reliable, faster and better equipped. It may cost a little bit more than a used TT, but it is certainly worth the money. I have yet to have read a negative review of the Genesis Coupe so I strongly recommend it.Brand new Hyundai Genesis or a Used Audi TT Coupe?It depends on what type of Audi TT it is and what type of Genesis you are getting. If the Audi TT is the 225 hp mk1 edition, than go for that. If it is the 180 hp TT than go for the hyundai.Brand new Hyundai Genesis or a Used Audi TT Coupe?none of the above. mazda3 is the best choice. not biased :)Brand new Hyundai Genesis or a Used Audi TT Coupe?
