I have owned 2 Lincolns's, 2 BMW's and 7 Cadillac's. Value, ride and handling is right up there, on the 3.3 liter. 2.0 was a bit sluggish. When you compare a fully loaded Genesis to the BMW there is no comparison when it comes to value. Traded a 4 year old BMW. 6 month update. No problems and service department is much friendlier with great follow up.

From Excitement to Regret: My Journey with the G70

I purchased the 2022 Genesis G70 2.0T AWD Prestige model in November 2021, straight off the truck. My decision was based on months of research, and I was so certain about my choice that I didn't even feel the need to test drive it. However, my initial excitement soon turned into regret regarding the 2022 G70. From the very beginning, I encountered issues with the brand. It started with a subpar pre-delivery inspection and detail of the car. The person responsible for removing the vinyl shipping wrappers did a poor job, leaving light "zebra-stripes" all over the paint. Additionally, one of the wheels had sustained damage during shipping. It took weeks of persistent effort to address these problems, which were eventually resolved months later when I switched to a different dealer for servicing after my original dealer stopped selling and servicing Genesis vehicles. Unfortunately, the problems continued to mount over the course of a year and a half. The G70 exhibited peculiar electronic glitches, such as proximity sensors going off randomly, even when nothing was nearby to trigger them. The passenger-side power mirror frequently failed to fold in/out when locking and unlocking the car. The infotainment system would occasionally black out, necessitating a hard reset to restore functionality. Fit and finish issues also arose, including loose trim pieces on the roof, paint chipping around the edges of the rear bumper, bubbling in the adaptive cruise control sensor plate, rattling in the headliner, and complete failure of the dampening struts for the rear trunk lid (which I had to replace TWICE). The leather used for the seating surfaces turned out to be of poor quality. After just a year, the bolstering on both front seats appeared wrinkled and worn, while my wife's 2022 Mazda3 Carbon Edition still had seats that looked brand new. The driver's seat even began to bubble. After enduring these problems for a year and a half, I had finally had enough and decided to trade in the G70 for a 2023 BMW 430i xDrive Gran Coupe with the M Sport package. It was unquestionably a superior car in many aspects, including quality, fit and finish, and the overall dealership experience. Considering my experience with the Genesis G70, I cannot recommend either the car or the brand to anyone. The quality issues I faced, coupled with my customer service experience (which I should note is not necessarily the fault of the dealers, but rather Hyundai for not providing the necessary resources to enable dealers to represent the Genesis brand as a true tier-1 luxury competitor), make it difficult to endorse Genesis at this time. Perhaps in the future, Genesis will address the quality and dealership experience needed to compete effectively with established luxury brands like Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes. However, that transformation is likely to take years and won't happen overnight.

A great 2 passenger sports car

If you frequently carry adult passengers in the rear seats or if you need large trunk space, forget this car. The G70 is effectively a 2 passenger sports car that happens to have rear seats. But if you want a luxurious sports car for yourself and one passenger, the G70 is a tremendous value! It is FUN to drive, provides a very comfortable ride and is of high quality throughout. Edmunds complains about plastic in the interior, but the only place that is obvious to me is the back of the front seats; but given that kids are the only likely rear seat passengers, a durable backing that will withstand kicking seems like a benefit to me. I opted for the 2.0 Turbo. Unless you are going to race, it has plenty of power. I think it is worth springing for the Premier trim level to get the options that come with it. I love this car!

My 2nd Genesis - Didn’t Disappoint

After being totally impressed, I traded in my aging 3.8 Genesis sedan for a new G70 2.0T. Understanding the two cars are quite different, the G70 has delivered an experience above my fairly high expectations. The ride is sporty and nimble without being harsh. The 2.0 engine does the job, especially when the tranny is in sport mode. I still get a nice grin when putting the car through it’s paces. For me, the car is just the right size. Me, my wife and three children all can enjoy the car without being super cramped. However, it is more comfortable with four passengers. I have the base model but the tech and safety features are on par for the class and check all the major boxes for what I was looking for. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the purchase and could recommend the G70 to anyone considering a sports sedan in this price range.

Despite the extravagant promises of concierge service, complementary maintenance, and bumper-to-bumper warranty, dealer support is almost none-existent. Service Dept at the dealer I bought my G70 from became non-responsive, and the one I have to use is a 2-hour drive each way. "Complementary" routine maintenance is a 2-3 month wait. And the "Concierge Service" they brag on is "geographically limited;" i.e., you pretty much have to live next to the dealership. Because they totally separated from Hyundai, there's really no dealer network to rely on. Love the car - better than a C-Class, if you ask me - but buy a Genesis, and you are on your own.
