Day-by-Day Review: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8GT; Day 3
So the Genesis Coupe isn't the most practical sports car around, says James, but what really matters here is how the car drives. And it's in that department that this car really shines, he says.

It should be possible to make one....  Golf TDI GLS   +  Powerbox + some new bilsteins + springs ( to get down an inch or so)  + some 17' wheels and sticky rubber


and

a badge...  ordered from your friendly American VW aftermarket parts shoppe

so gls + $4k or so   and even without the Powerbox it would still be a great car

I think that the TDI is an exceptional car and I mostly agree with CD's formal review. Note that I have only tested the car for say 30 minutes! My test car had a black interior and a sunroof.  At 5'9" I had to sit fairly high with the tilt wheel both extended a bit and at its lowest setting.

My only real concern was that I felt somewhat jammed into the front-right side of a small car (and I currently drive a Civic).  This was perhaps due to the sunroof; the A-pillar and somewhat narrow windshield and left side window. Also, at times, the mirror – parked right in the middle of the not-so-expansive windshield interfered with my view forward..

Otherwise, this is one heck of a compact car.

Another Jetta TDI article http://www.globeauto.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060427.wwh-jetta27/GAStory/specialGlobeAuto/

For some parts, the author is off-base (the Jetta IV was double sided galvanized for rust, etc) and others bang on.
