Used 2019 Genesis G70 3.3T Advanced 4dr Sedan AWD (3.3L 6cyl Turbo 8A) Consumer Reviews
"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!

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.

Need a remote start that works
One gripe with this car. It does not have a remote start on the key fob. The remote start, lock and unlock are on a smart phone application. It is a rare occassion indeed when it works. Very aggravating when you pay $40,000 for a luxury sports car. There is an aftermarket fix available for this design flaw but it costs $330.

G70
Recommended not to buy this car. The resale price drops too much. I bought the Genesis G70. When I decide to sale the price was my car $49K and they are giving me a price of $34K. It was the biggest mistake to buy the Genesis. Also, customer service is really poor they don't care besides the money. Please people think a few times before you buy this stupid car.
