Genesis is the "beginning" of great driving.

It drives as good as it looks. After having the Genesis over a year, my opinion has not changed. These are well built cars with good warranties on little items that need repair. I'll be looking at another one when I decide to trade this in. The only issue that continues to be irritating is the burn out turn signals. They go out every 6 months. Outside of that it’s been great. It is a 2015 Genesis and not a 2017.

Overall I’ve enjoyed the car but I’ve had to bring it in numerous time for rear brakes screeching when I back up and apply the brakes. Especially in cold weather. Also, the radio would just quit playing even it appeared to be on. Very wonky things and quite annoying. They never seem to figure it totally out.

Lemoned once but continues to be troubled. A dozen times in for exhaust. Now they will not take it back. Still under warranty and fixes made the mileage reduce by 20%! They extended warranty to 100,000 miles but I should tell you if the hard ass people at corporate. My disappointment is from them saying I can’t lemon it again. May have to get ruling on that.

Amazing vehicle

I love this car. I opted for the AWD with ultimate package and could not be happier. The only issues are poor placement selection of the USB port as it can be cumbersome to get to. I am frustrated with the lack of the apple play on the ultimate package. Otherwise, I will be leasing again in three months, may opt for the G90 based on financial situation.

This is the sleeper. This car does not depend on its brand like the others. The Genesis people have proven that you can build a very good luxury vehicle without paying the high end of a luxury price. Obviously, they did their homework. I am surprised the likes of Audi, Mercedes and BMW have not tried to sue Hyundai like Gillette tried to sue Harry’s. To really appreciate this car, you need the ultimate package and the HTRAC all-wheel drive. Like the other manufacturers before them, the Korean automaker had to crawl before walking and now I believe they are at a full sprint. They are making their mark with the Genesis G80 and their other line-up. This car rides like a dream. The two-button trunk feature is nice as well. I give this car a 4.8 out of 5 stars. You want a great car for the price, test drive this car and don’t thank the other guys, thank ME later. lol
