Great Litttle Genesis

2022 Genesis G70 3.3T 4dr Sedan AWD (3.3L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

This is the smallest Genesis but with a big heart. 365 HP make for a very quick ride with all the safety/luxury/technological bells and whistles you can imagine on the largest Genesis. Great sports sedan. Highly recommend.

Amazing 2.0 rocketship!

Unless you are a Nascar driver, the 2.0 4-cylinder turbo is an outstanding match. This engine is the boss and it's performance is just amazing. Why spend another 8 to 10 grand for the 3.0 engine, seriously. I'm floored by the performance, available technology, comfort ride, quiet interior and quality craftsmanship, The ride comfort and steering feel is the best. This car plays two roles for me. #1 Comfortable luxury ride and sound. It will spoil you! #2 Sportscar drive when I get a bit rambunctious. Goodbye some Mercedes at the light along with others. LOL. The warranty and valet service is bar none, the best. The fit and finish is just top notch! Here's a secret I'll share with you. Find a new g70 with less than 8k miles or so. Mine was the Prestigue with a MSRP sticker of 45k, yet I found it listed at the Genesis dealer for only 36k and 5k miles!!!!!! I saved NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS OFF THE LIST!!!! and the car is new with a full warranty. I nO DEALER MARK=UP, NO DEALER "PROTECTION PACKAGE". I just paid the 1k dealer fee. Did everything on line, never set foot in the dealership! Brought the car to me for a test drive, took it back, I signed the paperwork on=line and they delivered to me the next day!

2023 G70 - Not what I'd hoped for

I have a 2023 G70 with only 4000 mi, that I bought new last year. It already has quality issues (2 medium and 1 minor) which is frustrating when you're used to Lexus quality. What I'm completely disappointed in is the customer service and lack of white glove treatment that I get at Lexus. I went with the Genesis over a Lexus because of the price point and awesome looks of the G70 and now I'm regretting that decision. This will be my last Genesis... going back to Lexus asap. Advice: If you want the best quality and top notch customer service go with a Lexus. The price difference isn't worth it. If you don't care as much about quality then I'd go with one of the German cars.

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.
