2019 Genesis G70 3.3T Design 4dr Sedan (3.3L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

This car has excellent performance and handling. Dollar for dollar you can't beat it. It is very comfortable, has a tight suspension but not overly firm, does great on longer trips. The back seat is adequate and easy to access. The back seat room is about the same as the Infiniti Coupe I had for years but much easier to get in and out. The trunk fits 2 large suitcases plus smaller items. It has all the safety features you could ask for and these come standard with the basic trim. Genesis matches the "loaded" luxury cars but charges substantially less. The sound system is outstanding. I am very very happy with this car.

I can only think of three negative aspects to owning this car. (1) infotainment screen rattles a little bit and (2) dealer customer service is absolutely TERRIBLE, and (3) reportedly poor re-sale value. Regarding the interior, I’m particularly impressed that most everything sounds - and feels - locked down tight to minimize rattle sounds. The only exception is an occasional (and subtle) rattle that comes from the infotainment screen when you accelerate from 0 mph. I HATE rattles in a car cabin, but honestly this is very subtle and I can live with it. About the rest of the car: exceptional! I’ve had the 2.0T Advanced (base trim) since November 2019 and the car continues to drive and handle fantastically. The 4-cyl engine delivers plenty of power and gets you to desired highway speeds very quickly. No complaints about the rest of the car and, I admit the complaint about the infotainment screen rattle is a very small detail. Regarding the dealer service, keep in mind it’s a Hyundai dealer. You (and your car) will be attended to by the same staff that tends to tons of Hyundai’s with msrp’s that are half that (or less than half) of your Genesis. There are downsides to this. My experiences with two local “Genesis” dealers (Roswell, GA and Duluth, GA Hyundai dealerships) have been very slow response times to your inquiries (if you even get a response at all) and a lack of knowledge about the car itself by the service departments. I understand it’s a new car line up, but there’s no excusing the bad customer service. On the bright side, Genesis’ call center is very knowledgeable and will help you obtain whatever you need (in my case, they forwarded my complaints to the dealership itself and forced them to do better). You will likely struggle on the customer service side while owning this car, but oh well. It’s worth it. Lastly, the resale value may not be so great, according to some people on the internet. There might be some truth to this, since it’s a new brand. For anyone wondering, I own the car (not leasing), but have hopes of selling it or trading it in to get the new g80 in the future. Overall, excellent car and no regrets here.

Want to step out a bit in the left lane? Want a real sport sedan, but with four doors? Crave a smooth ride with blistering speed? Get the 3.3 Turbo G70 and push it with performance, style and comfort. Steering, near perfect. Acceleration linear. Stereo nice. add-ons, very affordable. Satisfaction - check my smile...

Too many good things about the car online, so I'm just listing cons. 3.3T engine rocks. However, even though it is stronger than my previous BMW, turbo lag is significantly worse. You press the gas pedal and wait for about 2 seconds for fully engaged engine. Climate control information is on the main display, not very smart, you start the car, and have to wait for display to load, then there is a message if you accept terms of driving, so... just a pain. Garage opener button is next to SOS button, beware in the dark you may press wrong thing. Plus on the remote, opening of the trunk is next to panic button, few times late at night I pressed wrong thing and woke up everyone at the house, and neighbors, beware. Transmission up-shifts little too early, sometimes I need to just gain little speed and would rather keep the same gear to save gas, and have less noise. Breaks create huge amount of dust, need to wash wheels constantly. Internal door handle is very far, if you get into the car and door is wide open, you have to really stretch and reach very far, and my arms are long. If I unlock the trunk I would like to unlock the doors too, can't find setting for that. No spare, although there is room for it above the battery. That is cheap Genesis! Rotating knob is easier to navigate menus and choose who to call when driving instead of touch screen. Buttons in the middle console feel cheap, and wobbly. Hopefully Genesis fixes these minor issues in the future.

I leased this car based on the fabulous reviews however my experience has involved multiple trips to the dealership, parts being unavailable (8 months), being misled by the dealership from point of purchase to aftersales service. I have had ongoing issues with the car just about every month, including but not limited to: Trim discoloration, sunroof replacement, seat belts not retracting, the car going from drive into neutral, not being able to get the car from park into reverse without going back and forth several times and the most annoying is the Voice Command module in the car takes FOREVER to connect and you often have to switch to Siri on your phone. The GPS gives your directions after you have missed your turn and often gets confused in neighborhoods with small streets. Terrible gas mileage and no pick-up. There is no back seat to speak of but the back seats do fully fold down so your passengers can lay down in the back since your legs will not fit behind the front seats. Now the hood doesn't latch evenly on both sides.
