I've had my 2023 G70 3.3TT AWD Sport (in Canada, same as US Sport Prestige) for just over a year and 9000kms after purchasing it brand new. I was aware of the small back seat and the smallish trunk - I really looked at this car as a two-door sports coupe with four doors. I was also aware of the poor fuel economy (I'm averaging around 13L/100kms in mixed driving), but didn't realize that the fuel tank was so small resulting in a ridiculously small range. I love the exterior and interior design, I think that the 2022 refresh had a dramatic improvement on the exterior look which is unique to Genesis - the pre-refresh looked fine, but very generic with cues from many different cars. The two main competitors for my money were the BMW M340i xDrive and the Audi S4/S5. I've owned several BMWs in the past, but I don't like their current exterior and interior design - two many polygon shapes and the "space ship" looking interior. The BMW has a far superior drivetrain with noticeably more power, better fuel economy, and the ZF 8HP is the best in class transmission; but their suspension tuning is not the BMW of old - it's too harsh in sport, and too wallowy in comfort. The Audi was much more attractive inside and out, had similar power to the G70, but couldn't hide it's nose-heavy FWD roots. Both Germans had much shorter available warranties, and cost significantly more. So far, The G70 has been sure-footed in my Canadian winter (with 18" winter tires, of course) and a powerful, fun car to drive enthusiastically in the summer. Fortunately, in Canada the AWD Sport comes factory-equipped with staggered Michelin Pilot 4 summer tires (like the US RWD Sport Prestige) - this likely is a huge contributor to the sharp handling, excellent steering response, and prodigious grip. The smaller interior combined with the well-bolstered sport seats give a much more close-coupled feeling than other sedans, but the back seats remain usable for adults for in-town trips. Other than the first annual scheduled maintenance, the car has needed a minor adjustment to the driver's door weatherstripping that was creating a bit of wind noise. Things that could be better: (1) the aforementioned fuel tank size (2) Lexicon audio - as another reviewer mentioned, it's excessively centre-channel focused to the point that it may as well have one speaker. Additionally, considering that the car has wired Apple Carplay/Android Auto and no hard disk or CD player, having a single USB input into the infotainment system is inexcusable - this means, for example, if you use Carplay for Waze, you can't use USB for music, only the radio or your phone. My previous 2016 Cadillac CTS had no less than THREE USB and one SD card inputs for the audio system!!! (3) the seats are a little too firm and flat - although firm bolstering is appropriate, there is no need for the seat bottom and back to be as unforgiving as they are. I haven't yet gone on a multi-hour trip in this car, but I can see the seats literally becoming a sore point. My CTS had firm but comfortable memory foam seats; the seats in my Porsche 997.2 C2S are more comfortable than those in the G70.

Not the Same as older models
We had a 2013 Genesis that we kept for 10 years, were ready to purchase another one. Still a great car, but decided against it because the back seat in the newer models (G70) is so small, and the luxury seemed minimal. It was like driving a fast compact car, with limited features. To get something comparable to what we had before, we would've had to purchase the G90. The appeal to us was the "affordable luxury", Genesis no longer represents that. We purchased a Toyota Highlander Platinum instead.

White cloud with a touch of black
I came from a 2018 Q60 RS 400. That car was awesome but this one is so much better. I have more room in it. More tech and nicer amenities. It is just as fast as the Q. Many say this G70 has limited space in the back seats and trunk but the Q had far less, besides it is only me most of the time so it is not a problem. The fuel mileage is about the same. This G70 is rear wheel drive as the Q was all wheel drive. Handling is near the same. Both cars are the same length even though this is a 4 door. Don't get me wrong I loved the Q60 but I think I like this much better. Now the biggest difference is that the Q60 was red and this one is white. I got a lot more comments with the Q60. But most don't want to race me in the G70. Again people don't know the power this G70 has. We'll so far I love the car .
