Don't Believe The Hype!

I'm a former BMW and Audi owner and read other reviews thinking I would get a much better car for less money. WRONG! I've owned this car for a month now and I've already contacted the dealership to see if they'd buy it back. Not because it's malfunctioning. It's just NOT a good car. Maybe... I mean maaaayyyybeee... if you were upgrading from a Hyundai or Kia or if this was the absolute top of your budget could I see buying one. But honestly, I think a honda civic sport touring with better tires would be an equally compelling option that would save you $8K-$10K. I'll start with the few things about it I find redeeming. 1. It is in fact peppy, but at significant cost of fuel economy. 2. The exterior is well designed, but how much time do you spending riding on the outside of the car? 3. The seats are decently comfortable, although I've not driven it more than 100 miles at one time. Now for the bad... 1. Again the fuel economy. It's horrid. Maybe 25 combined on premium fuel if I don't go punch it. But what fun is that since fun to drive was the reason to buy it. My BMW X7 doesn't do much worse. 2. Highway driving assist makes the care feel insecure in its handling. When activated, it bounces back and forth so much that you feel like you are about to lose control of the car. It's worse in the rain. MUCH worse. 3. Those "soft touch" surfaces on the center console and door are anything but. While driving my knee generally rests against the center console, but after about 30 minutes it starts to hurt because the surface material is so firm. Genesis covers it in a synthetic leather type material (I suspect vinyl) to make it seem "soft" and on a quick touch it might seem that way. But after a few minutes, you realize it's not. 4. The WIRED Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a bigger annoyance than you might think. Generally the wire ends up getting wrapped around the gear shifter or lodged between my cup and the cupholder. 5. The "auto adjust" head lights reset to off every time you turn off the car. So when you turn it back on, you have to remember to re-activate them on the stalk. 6. No HUD unless you spring for the $55K plus 3.3T Prestige trim. At that price, you could spend just a little more for an Audi A5 Prestige or BMW 3/4 Series with Msport package. 7. No ambient lighting. Period. Not available at all. 8. Trunk is extremely small. A couple of duffel backs and that's it. Certainly you aren't making a Costco run in this thing. 9. Unlocking the back doors is a pain. You can't just walk up to the rear door with the fab in your pocket and pull on the door handle. You either have to take out the fab and unlock from there. Or you have to go to the front door handle and hit it twice to unlock it. 10. And what about that leg room in the back seat... I mean it's cramped. My 9 year old who's 4' 5" even has trouble back there. 11. Probably one of the biggest shocks was that after owning it a month and putting not quite 1000 miles on it, I'm already received a notification that I need to schedule maintenance. When I go to schedule the "concierge" maintenance because it's "included" right?! Wrong, the dealer I purchased from doesn't offer it because of "low inventory". Nor would they even offer me a hyundai. Best they could do was a shuttle. Do yourself a favor and if you can afford luxury. Look elsewhere. If the G70 is the top of your budget, save yourself some money and go with a fully loaded Civic.

I purchased a 2023 G70. My problems started at 400 miles I continued to get Maintenance Alerts that the dealer could not find a fix. Finally dealer told me they would not make anymore service appointments because they know they can’t fix the problem. Watch out for ELECTRICAL issues. Again the dealer can’t correct. It’s been two years of constant frustration with no help from Genesis Corporate even after getting two case numbers assigned to my problems. Please, please run away from Genesis. Way too scary.

Great vehicle - yet there's room for improvement

I've had the 2023 G70 3.3t for over a year now. I really like the car, however there are places were the car needs improvement. Besides dealership experience, which will be fixed once the actual Genesis dealership is built, the build quality needs improvement. My car is making several rattles and noises and that should not be the case for a car in this price range. I also had an issue with the front sensors misfiring for no reason but the dealership replaced the sensor for me. Besides that this car has been a joy. I really hope Genesis irons out these issues as I would be open to getting another g70 in the future if they do.

I have a 2023 3.3T Sport Prestige and love it. It's unbelievably fast and honestly, I think it's quiet even on rough surfaces. I drive it all day long for sales in city and on the highway and am very pleased with how quiet it is. I don't have to have much of a back seat so that isn't an issue for me but know it's tiny. Yes, the gas mileage isn't great but let's be honest, you don't buy a car like this for the gas mileage. You buy it because it's very well equipped, comfortable, has excellent safety and tech and rides very well. If you want all those things along with a sedan that'll do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, then this is a solid choice!

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.
