I'm just perusing the classifieds for fun and found a few that I would buy if I was in the market(I'm not I'm just looking for fun). Which would you buy?

would you you buy this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for $21,900

Leather,sunroof,nav but no handling package with 24,000 km's

What's more important to you? Handling package or luxury features? If it was me I'd probably go for the R-spec because I love me some Brembos and I don't particularly care for sunroofs but I have to admit leather and Nav would be nice to have.

WHAT? You're Canadian, you're lucky. You guys still get the 2.0T GT (called Track down here) (R-spec with a sunroof, which is important despite what you said, but not over-the-top luxury like the premium)

Down here we only got the 2.0 Track/GT in 2010 or whatever its first year was :(

Then there's also the used/CPO CSX Type-S, B-class, and the new Micra

R-spec. Use your phone for nav

I just looked and they no longer offer the 2.0T. Now we can only buy the 3.8 R-spec as the base model which for $29K brand new sounds pretty fucking appealing. I probably should of looked on the Hyundai website first.

But you still did not answer my question. Which would you choose(hypothetically speaking)?

That's what I was thinking but was curious if I was wrong or not.

R-Spec. Leather and nav aren't particularly important to me - leather can get unbearably hot during the summer and a sunroof just means more to take care of if it breaks. Nav, I can just use my phone.

However, if there was a V6 on offer...

the premium. I need a sunroof. As far as the R-spec performance shit goes, you can always add it later, and I'm sure a few people have done the mods.

After doing some simple research the 3.8 R-spec is now the genesis coupe base model in Canada, no more 2.0T and its only 29K brand new. I'd gladly pay 5K more for a brand new car vs used and it has 75 extra HP.

So there you have it if I was buying a car today I'd buy a brand new 3.8 R-spec

I'd go for the R-spec.

Surprisingly the non-R Spec. I test drove a 2.0T R Spec. Not a bad car, but no cruise control. I do a lot of road trips and what the heck? Why would you delete cruise control? It can't weigh a significant amount in a car that big.

R-Spec

Cruise is pretty important to me to. Why on earth would they delete that? It weights half a pound at most. I've taken shits heavier than that.
