My last two cars (over the last 20 years) have been a Mercedes and a BMW. This car is without a doubt comparable to those. No, it doesn't handle as well as a BMW and may be missing some of the thoughtful touches of a Mercedes, but I'm extremely happy with the quality, power, and comfort of this car. For the price, nothing can approach it. It is a pleasure to drive on the highway - the quietest car I have ever owned. I'm looking forward to many years of enjoying it. 8 Month Update: No problems whatsoever, and I still look forward to trips in this car. It is truly a pleasure to drive. 12 Month Update: More of the same. Still a great car.

The electronics have some gremlins at work all the time. Passenger window, Nav. Screen started acting up on a vacation trip. the window only was able to move to the closed position in 2 inch increments by continuous activation of the window switch. The Nav. Screen went blank and stayed blank until I started the car the next day (reset??). The window also started working again after the overnight quiet time. When a music is playing from the USB using the MEDIA button, randomly the system switches to the factory installed video/music. The video does not play (for safety reasons) but the Korean music does. There is some electronic warfare going on between all the integration.

I had put off purchasing a new vehicle, concerned about having to learn all the new technology. Also, figured this will be my last car. I wanted quiet, performance, easy to step in and out of and mid-size sedan. In researching, I was pretty sure the vehicle I wanted would be a Lexus ES350. The Genesis was a slight bit quieter and only 3" longer in reviewing specs but they classify it as a large vehicle. The interior is quite roomy and felt more luxurious than the Lexus(not to mention the heated rear seats). I felt more car for the price than the Lexus. I don't feel like I am driving a bigger car. Parking is easier than my old vehicle. I really like the safety notification features especially cross traffic and blind spot notification. Lane assist is pretty cool too. As i am older, helps with bearings. The only thing it is missing in my opinion would be auto trunk close. I keep forgetting to lock it when I walk away but having the app available on my phone to check it is awesome. Can start it or lock it from anywhere! Plus, the 3 year maintenance and valet service is AWESOME! I didn't give it a 5 Star rating only because I had to go to mid grade in price for gas. Also, having to have one of the sensors checked, keeps going off randomly when no other vehicle around so having to take it in already. Amazing all the new stuff in 15 years(LOL).

My 2009 Genesis 3.8 was hands down the best car I've ever owned, 166,000 + miles with nothing but normal maintenance. When the new G-80 model came out I decided to give it a test drive; it did not disappoint ! Smoother, less road noise, more comfortable,and way more advanced safety and technology features than the original; much of which is standard. Still to early to tell, but early indications are that this version will be every bit as enjoyable to own, drive, and operate than my first Genesis!! Just made a 750 mile trip from Va. to Fl. with some stop and go driving in and around Savannah still yielded overall 29.8 mpg. Hyundai's move to Genesis as a brand also includes warranty, customer service, and other features not offered on other vehicles. Value, and features per $$ spent, in my opinion, can not be matched by any other manufacturer. The only negative, if there is one, may be the resale value of older and/or high mileage vehicles.

My new Genesis G80 came with the Premium and Ultimate packages and has all the bells and whistles. It is every bit as nice as my last 2014 Mercedes E350 and far less in cost!
