I brought the car to get serviced last week. Rocked a '15 sonata sport for a couple days with the 2.4. nice car, horrible seats (too wide, no side bolsters) and it has the most annoying blinker tone in the world (seriously, i stopped using my blinker that's how annoyed i got with it!). final complaint is that the top of my shoe hits the underside of the dash when transitioning from gas to brake. I'm only a size 12, and that's with dress shoes. a 10 in a pair of work boots would have the same problems. Frankly, it's a safety issue. There were a few times where i was physically stopped from moving my foot to the brake cuz it got wedged. fix those 3 things, and i'd buy one. I think it might even be faster than the geneisis. lol has a LOT of torque at 2400 rpm.
anyway, to the genesis...
so, I got my tranny replaced under warranty. I thought they would patch it up or try some fluids a few rounds to make corporate happy, but nope, brand new tranny installed at 61k no questions asked. my buddy justin (svc writer) said the tech immediately agreed it was grinding and needed out.
my CC stg2 clutch is in. This thing breaks necks. It's ridiculous. very hard to drive in stop and go. no slippage at all. It is VERY noisy. Hoping a lot of that goes away with the break in period. (states 500 miles of chatter is normal). I'm glad I didn't go with the stage 3. This thing feels like the stage 4 i had in my honda.
Since the clutch was exposed from the warranty of replacing the tranny, and customer supplied parts, *hint hint*
met the tech who did the work. cool kid with a monster 1.9 hatch. obnoxiously large turbo, scatter shield, the whole 9. he put 8-something horse out and goes mid 10s letting off cuz his cage isn't certified for 9.99. Looks like a drag day is already being planned.... will go hang out and shoot some video and represent the 'swap
I gave him some HS stickers to slap on the car
