This car has exceeds my expectations on so many levels. It’s power from the twin turbo awd v6 is a pleasure to drive. Extremely agile, yet luxurious. Fit & finish are very high quality. Looks are subjective, however this car has so many nice body lines. Add in the covered mainline (take note bmw/Mercedes’ Benz /Audi) plus the best warranty it’s a home run.

What a fun ride

2022 2.0T Advanced AWD. Aesthetically beautiful inside and out. Base engine has plenty of pep for me, with a nice purr. A drivers car so you’re riding low in the seat, which adds to the fun. Takes corners like a dream. Driving assist for long stretches of highway driving makes for a more pleasant experience. Trunk is small given spare tire and battery placement (fits a golf bag diagonally). Nice and tight overall with a firm ride but not harsh. Gets lots of looks!

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.

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.

Sold it due to horrible ownership experience

I loved the car for the first year or so. Then I began having tons of problems. The most serious was that the car would go into "limp" mode, where the check engine light would come on and it would only go about 60 mph max. Felt like it was running on three cylinders. When I attempted to get the car fixed at a dealership, they told me it would be over a month until I could get an appointment, When I explained that the car was nearly inoperable and that I needed to get it fixed ASAP I was told I could "bring it in and drop it off and we will try to get it in". No loaner car, no concierge service, it was basically "tough shit". I contacted Genesis corporate, they were of no help. No one at any dealership was able to get the car in and get it looked at. The car would go in and out of "limp mode". One day when it was not in "limp mode" but the check engine light was still on, I traded it in for a 2024 VW GTI. The VW dealership has been great and the car has had no problems. I will never buy another product from Hyundai/Kia/Genesis. The cars are great for the first 20k miles, then they turn into crap and you are left dealing with the worst dealerships ever. I say this as someone who has owned multiple VWs and Dodges---even their dealers are better than the [non-permissible content removed] at Genesis. I strongly recommend you look at any other luxury brands, you will have a far better experience.
