TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe appeals to a more limited group than it used to; but it straddles the line between budget sports car and refined touring coupe in all the right ways.

The Subaru BRZ is just as much fun as high-priced sports cars in many cases, at a small fraction of the price; and it's reasonably practical.

TCC Likes

Strong V-6 performance
Dynamically sharp, yet refined
Cohesive look, inside and out

Classic sports-car look
Lean, balanced driving feel
Standard nav system and rear camera

TCC Dislikes

Tight back seat
Sluggish automatic transmission
Gauges placed too low

Hard seats
Busy, noisy ride
Narrow cargo opening and small trunk
