3.3T Sport AWD
I have had a MB C300, Infiniti G35 and, most recently an Infiniti Q60. I liked all of those cars in their own way. The amount of features that I have on this g70 Sport is astounding for the money. I mean it has almost everything and more: HUD, heated front and rear seats, cooled front seats, folding mirrors, birds eye view, leather seats, LSD, adjustable suspension... I could go on and on. Lets talk about the driving: Sport mode is a beast. There is max torque at 1500 rpm and it doesn't stop. The power delivery is smooth, much smoother than the Q60. It handles like a dream. The best thing is that you can drive it as a commuter car or as a sports car as you choose and don't give up much in either category. When I'm with the wife, I drive calmly and when I want to push up the fun factor, I can do that also. I just can't say enough about the car. Update: I’ve now had the car for two years and it has 35k miles. I still love the car and would recommend it.

My Designer Edition Rocks
This car is not fuel efficient. Get past this, and you will enjoy it. The 3.3 ltr twin turbo is capable of supplying necessary power at low levels, or answering the call when you ask it to (triple digits before you know it). Really a great ride.

"IS THAT A BENTLEY?!?!?!?!"
No it's not, but they did steal that company's chief designer so...coincidence? Anyways, bring your ego; the uninformed only see the winged badge and won't leave you alone. Bicyclists make rude hand gestures, strangers ask you how much money you make, coworkers insist that the Siberian Ice Blue paint is in fact white and/or grey (it’s blue, fight me). In between all of them though, it's surprising just how many people know the car and its accolades. Newcomer sport sedans always get glowing reviews and awards even if they’re junk, but a five minute test drive reveals that the G70 is actually competitive in its own right. The interior is as beautiful in person as in pictures. It’s a tactile wonderland, with soft leather and machined aluminum in places I would never look. The optional V6 is also a firecracker. 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, AWD and launch control though so that was no surprise. What floored me was the NVH. Nothing creaks and nothing rattles, but somehow that doesn’t make it feel like a boat. A 3,800lb sedan has no right to corner like this and STILL have this of a nice ride! It does though, and for that reason I’d skip the sport trim unless you’re going to the track, the standard springs are plenty stiff for on-road shenanigans. In this vein, I disagree with saying there’s no point in choosing the base G70 over a top-trim midsize sedan because it’s no faster. I traded up from a six-cylinder Legacy and, despite it being just as fast as the four-pot G70, the Genesis is a superior machine in every single way. Less is true of its underdog sports sedan competitors though. I WANTED to like the Cadillac and the Alfa Romeo, especially here in the sea of German luxury cars called New York, but come test-drive time the Genesis danced circles around them. It drives better, looks better, and has the best ownership perks by a mile. If you want a sports sedan that’s good AND different, this is really the only one you can have. Only a few problems: bad mileage and a tiny tank mean lots of fuel stops, if you’re over 6’3 you’ll have to lose the sunroof or your head won’t fit, and yes they are sold at Hyundai stores, but if that means Genesis can sell them as cheap as they do so be it. Overall this G70 has turned into my dream-come-true car, I hope to keep it for the duration of the ten year warranty or longer!

Truly excellent vehicle with up-to-date technology
After driving jaguars IDs and Mercedes for many years I just lease the new G 70 after my Jaguar lease had expired. Although I like the Jaguar it was short on performance with his 2.0 engine. I was attracted to the Genesis by the fact that this truly unique vehicle with out rages performance and multiple electronica goodies. The car was leased from a dealership in plantation Florida. Shortly after delivery however we noticed that the wheel balancing was off And I tried to contact the service department. Their website has crashed and their phones were not working. After no more than seven calls I went to the dealership and confronted the general manager who was not interested in resolving the issue. I have no complaints about the vehicle it is truly deserving of the accolades it is received. However genesis will never be a true competitor as long as it continues to share dealerships with Hyundai. High-end buyers are truly more demanding of the service department and sales department and a high-end a dealership can provide. They have an excellent car but their marketing is awfulAnd their customer support even worse
Never AGAIN!
I’ve had this car three years September 20. My 3.3 all wheel drive 2019 has been nothing but a lemon. It has been in the shop at least five months total it’s all been warranty work. The dealerships in Charlotte are horrible they send you to other dealerships their workmanship is terrible they leave parts off I drove 3 hours with nuts and bolts loose underneath my car a turbo that was loose even after the GM looked over my car in Charlotte. Do not go to modern Hyundai! As of now I just had a new transmission put in this vehicle drove one hour and 40 minutes put miles on my car even though it is under warranty Genesis doesn’t care. That’s the closest dealership to me. A week and a half later I now need struts. The most Genesis has done for me is give me a $500 gift card and a $300 gift card!!! No extra warranty nothing !! I take my car in for regular maintenance so it’s not owner neglect. I actually love the car when it’s working BUT the service and customer relations are terrible for a car they claim you get a loaner driven to you etc. Stay away these cars are know for brake and rotor issues w zero fix , seat peels no fix either see to name basic repairs.
