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.

I have had a -22 G70 3.3T RWD as a company car and I have really liked it. While I lived in Europe I drove many different Alfa Romeo and Citroen so my opinions may be influenced by the fact that I very much appreciate a car that is different. I liked the G70 enough that I just turned the -22 in and got a new -24 without even considering anything else. For the -22 I thought there were plenty of highs: - styling (and interesting color options!) - nice design and materials inside. Non gimmicky dash that was easy to use, most things feel good to touch and use. - Also the screen and its infotainment wasn’t flashy, but functional and easy to use. - very good chassis. Good crisp turn in, lots of grip. Firm suspension but never harsh. - fantastic engine. Always a massive wave of torque available and more power than I ever would use on a public road. - Strangely enough I was seeing really good gas mileage. 27.5 mpg mixed and 32.5 highway is really impressive for a car with so much power. - Driving assistance features work really well. Lane centering is smooth and without the zig zagging that many cars have. The radar cruise is configurable and works well with very few hiccups. - No issues for the 37,000 miles that I drove it. - Free service is pretty sweet. Neutrals? Seats are okay. Not bad, but there are cars with comfier seats. Heating and ventilation is also middle of the road. Fine, but in no way exceptional. Bad? - Wind noise. Felt like always having a window slightly open. - Tight interior - for sure not a roomy car. But those riding along can survive. It’s fine for me, my kids have moved out and I have never been in the back seat myself. - The dealers. It’s easy to see why Genesis haven’t been more successful getting the market share that the cars deserve. Odd locations, and it’s not like they manage to hire the very best people in the industry. It still feels a lot like “Uncle Joe’s Used Cars” So the new 2024 is a 2.5T and the immediate impressions are that not much has changed. Still looks really good, still drives really well. The engine obviously doesn’t have the same amount of low end torque but still plenty of pep for regular roads. Not grin-inducing fast like the 3.3T, but good enough for me. The new Brembo brakes are much better. I’m sure they are more fade resistant for the race track, but in daily driving they are still noticeably better. More linear braking force and a lot less grabby. As for the rest of the changes I don’t understand the point of changing things for the sake of making changes? The key fob was a small very solid feeling thing with large buttons. Now it’s twice as large, buttons are half the size and it feels plasticky. Steering wheel buttons for cruise control and radio have switched sides - why? The easy to use climate controls have been swapped for a digital panel - not bad, but certainly also not better. They should have worked harder reducing the wind noise and less time fixing what wasn’t broken. All that said, most new cars are good. I have been driving the recent BMW 3-series and didn’t like it at all. The Acura TLX V6 is fine, Lexus IS is nice but doesn’t drive as well. The only car I have driven that I really would prefer over the G70 is the Alfa Giulia, but ownership costs, reliability concerns and distance to the nearest dealer made me rule the Alfa out. So - there’s the new G70 in my driveway and I am perfectly happy with that.

I purchased a new G70 in early May. The vehicle experienced a nearly total computer failure six weeks later. It’s been back at the dealership for a week and they haven’t been able to fix the problem. I regret the purchase.

Everything is fantastic, but the seats

I got to drive it brand new and took it on a road trip with my family from DC to Boston and then around town for three days. The design both exterior and interior is state-of-the-art. The car feels definitely upscale and more appealing than square German autos. I immediately preferred it to Audi A4 I was offered which looks simplistic to me (I normally drive a Lexus). The tech features are impressive, especially the driving assist. The fuel economy leaves more ro he desired. However there is one thing that was a deal breaker for me and i would never buy it: the stiff seats that inadequately handle your body weight. I am quite slum, so as my wife, but the car left us both with back and butt pain after the 7 hour stretch on a highway and on the shorter commute trips in the city.
