Hi. At first I owned a Hyundai Genesis and was overly thrilled with the car. The only thing that ever went wrong was the power Adjustment for the steering wheel. I had it back to dealership a few times before they fixed it. Now the Genesis G80 I purchased last August is an ABSOLUTE DREAM. Maybe the only thing they should think about is dedicated Genesis Dealerships? With Espresso, a bakery, cupcakes and candy bars! I'M KIDDING! Who needs all of that when what you bought in the first place, is a very reliable car!? Perhaps some tuning in the looks department, but overall, I'd buy another one!

I had a 2015 Genesis ( when it was still part of Hyundai ) and the dealer network treated the car as a Hundai. Now that Genesis is a separate company, the dealers are upscale, comparable to BMW, Lexus etc while the value of the car ( quality vs cost of ownership / lease ) is far better. This vehicle rides and handles as good as any 5 series BMW, better than Lexus, comparable to an S-90 Volvo. Only shortfall is gas mileage is not great, but considering all Genesis cars are AWD, there is some sacrifice for driving all the wheels. I live in the northeast, so in this area AWD is a reasonable cost. Lease price comparisons for the G-80 to the Volvo S-90, Lexus ES350 and BMW 530- Genesis beat them all by over $ 100 per month. Very satisfied with quality, ride, appearance, features and cost.

Spoiled by a G80 sport and then some

Cross shopped against Audi and BMW, purchased a 2018 G80 Sport and a 3.8, and after a month, purchased another G80 Sport for second home. Extremely well designed and engineered cars. On the Sports, switched out problematic continental tires for Michelin sport A3

Better than E-class, A7, A8, S90 (all 2018)

I am a serious buyer and drove E-class, A7, A8, S90 (all 2018). My conclusion is that G80 is better than all of these. G80 is tighter, smoother, sporty bur comfortable, safer, reliable. The drive feeling is much better than those. Lane keeping can be tighter though. I recommend you to test drive before you buy Benz E-class or S90 at least. You will surely find out what I wrote here.

Fantastic overall vehicle just make sure you are aware of the extra valve cleaning due to the GDI engine.
