I drove an Audi S5, BMW m340i and hesitantly - I decided to go with the G70. Having had it for a week now, I am in awe of everything from the build quality to performance. What started as a decision solely based on cost savings has turned into an affection for the brand. And having switched from a Tesla model 3, I am blown away by this vehicle’s performance. Its an absolute machine. Downfalls include the partly digital cluster, though you get used to it quickly. I think they could clean up the interior by getting rid of most of the chrome, but we’re splitting hairs at this point. I love the G70 and arguably will be a fan for life. Not to make sure they keep their promise on the service side and hopefully, this amazing warranty holds true too. Time will tell but I’m in love.

I took a test drive on the highway and then around a few city turns, then looked again at the features on the window sticker and the drive-out price and asked my sales person where to sign so I could drive it home asap. The G70 got my attention back in 2020 but at the time we opted for the Accord 2.0, which is no slouch, because of price and practicality as the grocery getter. This time, for our 2nd car, the G70 with advanced package and RWD sat in the sweet spot. The exterior looks even better after the refresh as does the dash. This machine is beautiful in and out. I also had to make sure my golf bag fit in the smallish trunk and it did. I drove MB and Audi between '06 and '20 and while I loved them both, the price/performance ratio on this G70 can't be beat.

BMW to G70 - No Regrets, but Room for Improvement

I thought my BMW 330is was quick off the line and zippy enough to get me into trouble - but after test-driving the 2022 3.3L Genesis G70 Sport Prestige, I KNEW this car was fast enough to get me into trouble! Stunning sport-mode acceleration and a grip on the road as good or better than its sports sedan contemporaries made it easy to trade the Beemer in for this car. Really cool looking - especially in Havana Red. My BMW was good looking, but it never turned any heads. The G70, however, gets looks and questions - the most common: "What IS this?" G70 Sport Prestige PROS: Rocket ship acceleration; superb sports sedan handling but cushy in selectable comfort-mode; comfortable front seats; lots of cool technology; gets lots of attention (careful, that includes from the cops); massive Brembo brakes; smart cruise control with decent auto-pilot steering (not quite as good as Tesla); excellent climate control. CONS: Mediocre fuel economy; small fuel tank (short range); tight back seat; lacks some advanced features like automatic parking/unparking; driver profiles not stored in key fob like my BMW (a pain with a car shared with my short wife); someone's idea of "stereo" is a single main audio speaker in the dash. Excellent sound quality, but everything balanced to the center-front instead of left-to-right (can be "sort-of" adjusted with fader control to overcome this); trunk space is fair. That said, the G70 offers great bang-for-the buck high-end luxury and performance. Compared with BMW, MBZ, Acura, Infinity and Audi, I have no regrets spending my money on the Genesis.

Bought 2.0T AWD to replace muscle commuter

Riding in a friend's GV80 with Highway Driving Assist immediately convinced me to look at Genesis. I seriously do not like long drives and traffic so thought I'd replace an optioned out 2018 392 Challenger with something that could help make long trips and lines of traffic bearable. My initial concern was that I'd miss the 392's acceleration so I test drove both a 3.3T and a 2.0T, but to be honest, I didn't feel there was a huge "street legal" difference in performance between those two Genesis engines. In full disclosure, I also own an 1100 rwhp Camaro, so my yardstick pushed the 2.0T and 3.3T's performance well to the left of not simply the 392, but definitely that of the Camaro. Public streets being what they are, especially with rush hour traffic, I couldn't justify the extra $9k for a 3.3T AWD. Give me that Highway Driving Assist to deal with long trips, an AWD powertrain to deal with poor weather conditions, and the best factory sound system. Those 3 items can be found with the smaller engine, but I will say, the Lexicon sound system is not as good as the Harmon Kardon's found in any of the BMW/Dodge/Mercedes/RAM vehicles. And that's a shame, so one star off. I will say, in support of the 4 stars, that every day I drive the G70, I like it more and more. I was briefly considering a WRX, but the Genesis definitely feels more substantial, better built, comes with the best tech this side of Mercedes, and has more efficient powertrain. I do wish the 2.0T models had some of the features the 3.3T has, like HUD, buttonless trunk opener, digital key and...well, that's about it, and those aren't deal breakers for a car that does 12 miles (30 minutes) per day. This is a great 3 series type car, and that doesn't even consider the price point, so yes, great car!

Well balanced and solid car. Smooth gliding about town and rip roaring fun on the highway. It can do it all. The heated steering wheel and seats are welcome in the cold. Sure footed AWD. Head turner yet buttoned down and well mannered. On par with German offerings yet the tech is pleasantly intuitive and few inputs are required to get what you want. Bank vault solid build quality and the 365HP and AWD get it going any speed you want in seconds. If you had any reservations about buying a luxury brand Hyundai, give this a drive and you’ll be the first one in your neighborhood with the nicest car no-one has seen before.

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.

I got to extensively drive a brand new 2024 G70 as a rental vehicle for 3 days, taking it on a highway haul from DC to Boston and around the town with my family. I immediately prefered the looks and the interior to Audi A4 whivj i also was offered. The car design and the execution is state-of-the-art (I normally drive a lexus). Everything from the exterior to interior finishes, ergonomics, even the smell are superb. The tech features are impressive, especially the driving assist. The fuel economy is not quite superb and spanned from 19 to around 30 mpg on a regular gas. However, there is one main reason i would not buy this vehicle: make sure that you drive the car for a bit more than a 20-minute test drive. The seats are stiff and poorly designed to distribute your body weight. Both me and my wife had back and bud pains after the 7 hour highway journey and shared the discomfort for the rest of the shorter daily trips around the town.

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

2022 Genesis G70 2.0T 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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'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 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.

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.

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!

I just received my 2025, black on black, G70. This car drives like a dream. I had a Mercedes and a BMW 528i. This car is 2nd to none. Biggest bang for your buck. I love that it is rear wheel drive too.

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.

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 .

You are behind the wheel of car and you look ahead at your tachometer and what do you see its 2/3/ Yes some design genius decided that the rpm circle should be about 2/3 of a circle and the MPH circle is a compete circle with a awkward box in between pushing into broken circle. I do not get it, never ever have seen this on any car ever made and yet here it is in all its glory! Looks like you want to believe some circut is out behind , but no this is what it is? lol/ Simply cant buy a car with such a design flaw that if right in front of you ever single time you drive

Love the g70! Have owned a 2022 2.0 and now a 2022 3.3. Both great cars but very different. The 2.0 handled beautifully and for 99% of your daily driving is plenty of car. Actually handles better in corners than the 3.3. But … the 3.3 has the “stomp” factor in Sport mode which is so much fun. Unfortunately fuel consumption higher in the 3.3 as are insurance costs! Have never driven the newer 2.5 version. No complaints after nearly 4 years. Genesis service has been excellent!

Absolutely beautiful car. Picked one up for 40k CAD, and I’ve loved every second. The engine is super responsive, and the feel of the car is unlike anything you can describe. The interior is extremely luxurious, and the drive assist features work as intended. It is definitely a driver‘s car, designed by spirited drivers. It feels like every single day I discover something new about what the car can do. The exterior styling is beautiful as well. Moving onto the things that I don’t necessarily love about the car, but are not a huge deal for me. The backseats are talked about as being puny and I don’t think this is true. I’m 6’0 225 pounds and I fit behind myself. My friend who is 6’3 200 pounds Found it slightly uncomfortable sitting behind me, but tolerable for trips under three hours. The next thing I don’t necessarily love, is the trunk space. It is a very shallow trunk, but big enough to fit a hockey bag which is what matters to me. The last thing I don’t necessarily love, is the gas mileage. Everyone speaks about the mileage as being horrendous, but I also think this is over exaggerated. Coming from someone who’s only owned Honda Civics previously, if you drive it well on the highway you can easily pull 27 or 28 miles per gallon. When driving in sport mode and revving and accelerating like crazy, you can expect between 13 and 15, but regular driving you should be expecting around 23 miles per gallon combined. While this is nothing like my previous three Honda Civic, I love this car and the value you get is better than any German brand could ever offer you. Not to mention the warranty is unbeatable. Anyone thinking of getting their first luxury sedan, I strongly suggest checking out the 3.3 G 70 before looking into any German brands.
Super car, super price

I really liked this vehicle. When the threat of recession calms down and interest rates become reasonable. Beautiful vehicle. Reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction reviews positive. The G70 will have my primary consideration.
