This beutiful sports sedan is as fun to drive as is it is good looking. Great hot V6 turbo engine is smooth and great sounding. It's a secret high(er) class car than a BMW or Mercedes without the "snob" appeal badge. MT rated it better than all other cars - and it is living up to that praise for me thus far. No problems at all so far with anything. Update 12/10/24 - Still loving this car. Fun to drive, and I make excuses to use this G70 over my other vehicle.

If you are thinking about getting a G70, just do it!! You will not regret your decision, especially if you get the V6 3.3T Lambda engine. This car is fun, fast, and very well built. The craftsmanship and quality feel is amazing. Everything is real; if it looks like that material, it is that material, no fake stuff!! The engine and transmission is amazing. Although the engine is not a rev happy "over squared" design, it is ready at any notice to shoot up the RPMs and move. The Lambda V6 3.3T in this vehicle is by far one of the nicest engines I have driven. A lot of people complain about the 8-speed transmission being a little slow, but I think it shifts perfectly fine and crisp. The interior is built to last. If you don't require much, you will be perfectly at home with almost too much comfort. My favorite thing is the ventilated seats on sweaty days. My main focus of this review is how the G70 drives. As stated before, the engine has tons of power at any moment, is very responsive, and has tons of passing power/acceleration. No one will ride your butt in this car, just smash the gas and watch them disappear in the rear mirrors! It is amazing for highway travel. It hums at a low 1,500rpm @55mph, and about 1,800rpm @80mph. This engine will not scream at you for making it do its job. Not only is it a highway cruiser, but is super fun on the back roads. You almost always run out of real estate before you have to step on the brakes from accelerating (brakes are great too).I wouldn't say it has snap oversteer, but the front-end plows in first before you feel the rear slide out, so you can feel how hard you can push it. Maintenance is tricky, but doable. It requires 7.26qts of oil, which is a decent amount. But, if you are smart, you can get reasonably priced parts, as it is shares a lot of parts with Hyundai/Kia's. To change the oil, you have to remove some under panels, which is annoying, but reasonable. It does have a oil filter cartridge, no spin on type, not a huge fan of those. It also is pure GDI, so carbon build-up is possible on the valves. But with just those few complaints, everything is very accessible in the engine bay for a twin turbo V6. SUMMARY: You will mostly likely buy/lease this car and not want to let it go!

So to start off I had literally the worst sales person ever who I literally refuse to deal with. I bought a model that was driven by a ceo in Toronto for 11k clicks it's got the sport, turbo 3.3 bs. On the pick up day they tell me it's not ready yet and they have to detail it and fix the brake !? The sales guy was so unprofessional I told him that's something I should have known before purchase. The the finance team hands me the keys and sends me off instead of delivering it and showing you how to use the car. Oh and they tried to sell me the car with summer tires in the middle of winter ! Why is this an issue ? ( Tired cost literally $3g on this thing). Sure enough any small pot hole will take out your tires so first month in that happened $1000 off the bat. Now a year later the AC is busted and apparently warranty is only for 1 year or 200000 kms. So that's not covered. They just quoted me $450 for a recharge. The wireless charger also broke ...the wireless connect services didnt work since day 1. And every damn 5k clicks this thing goes in for service. Not to mention insurance is alot too almost $300 a month I'm 27 female and have a good driving record. It's a money pit.

I have never been a Korean Car fan. A friend suggested me about Genesis. He advised me that years of Sony are over and Samsung is the new king. So I decided to try it. What a craftsmanship and details. Inline 4 Engine but with enough horse power and torque.
