This sport sedan covers so many features that it will have wide appeal to many different drivers. Sporty--like to accelerate a bit, like to handle on curves and twisty roads? This is a great car (should get AWD though). Beauty of styling exceptional without much gaudiness or bling. Standard features for the price--a very good deal--they do not miss anything and zap you with expensive options like Merc/BMW, etc. The little things work well: air-conditioned front seats? Yes and it's quiet and it really cools! Safety features as to traffic, obstructions, blindspot pedestrians, etc.--exceptional. The acceleration on this turbo-charged model is outstanding and no lag (had a Merc 750iL and I know what "lag" is). I am a fairly experienced luxury car owner (I know, brag, brag--sorry) and I am comparing this to: 2012 Audi A7; 2010 BMW 750iL; 2014 Audi S6; 2015 Audi A8 and a 2014 BMW 550i--all of which I mostly enjoyed EXCEPT for the high prices! Give this car a drive and you most likely will have a candidate to save you $25-$30K from the bloated "bling-look at me cattle herd".

My Best sport sedan Yet

This is the best equipped, most fun and safest luxury sedan I have driven . A similarly equipped benz, BMW, or caddy list for $30-50,000 more and I find the overall driving experience to be thrilling, especially on the exhilarating roads of the Aspen , Colorado area. This vehicle has the best 1. Heated seats- that work all the way to your shoulders 2 Cooled Seats- the only ones I have experienced that are so efficient you can keep the air conditioning toned down and thus cut cabin noise 3 stereo system 17 speakers beautifully engineered to lull one with classic bass or blast your favorite rock , that contribute to a wonderfully spoiled yet remarkably safe driving experience. Of note, my wife, who in general does not well tolerate auto travel primarily due to troublesome arthritis, exclaims that she truly ENJOYS driving the G80 Sport and has NEVER felt so safe in any of our prior benz or Cadillacs . Seats are comfortable and easily adjusted: the controls and navigation system are well placed , much more intuitive than BMW, benz, or caddy, and very well thought out featuring the dual controls on the screen and between the front seat passengers. Back seats are firm, comfortable,and very well heated . The overall comfort level is enhanced by the dark shades on three sides of the rear cabin. Finally, every electronic , safety, or comfort gadget- trunk that opens by itself as you approach - seems to have been appreciated in the competition and included often in an improved version- the ventilated seats , traction control , steering adjustment ,and paddle shifters on the steering wheel . All in all , at $56,000 I strongly feel this is A STEEL. And not to be missed before the $$$ approach a true supply- demand equilibrium

LOVE THIS CAR but one complaint

I've had this car for about a week now and i cant believe the difference. 2017 the genesis brand came along with a hyundai genesis for 2017. 2018 is the real first g80 made by genesis because the quality and feel are just too different. Im saying this because i had a 2016 hyundai genesis signature package. when I was testing the car, i think it might be underrated. It says 365hp/376lb-ft but im getting around 5 and sub 5 0-60 runs so i want to go dyno the car for curiosity's sake. BUT my only complaint on this care is that there's no AMBIENT LIGHTING.WHY. just look at the e classes interior and how beautiful it is(however cheap feeling it may be). also beware for those who will be driving in the city... on the highway i can get 30 mpg being careful on eco and realistically 25 mpg driving normally but i drove about 150 miles so far of city only after filling up and I have been getting around 10 mpg.. you guys have been warned.

I used to love my G80 sport until a recent problem with engine ticking. Here are my comments prior to this issue... The car is quiet, fast if I want to have a bit of fun, and looks great inside (I have the two tone black and white leather) and out, and has just about every option anyone could want. I get much better gas mileage than the EPA rating. City is about 20 MPG. Highway is about 29 MPG. Combined is about 22 MPG. Having said that, it's not a perfect car. The exterior chrome can discolor. There was a creak around the driver and passenger side grab handles. On the driver side it was right near my ear, and that can be annoying since the car is otherwise so quiet. The dealer had difficulty tracking down the issue and has since replaced the grab handles. That has largely addressed the problem, though I sometimes still hear the creaking. But it's much better. There's an occasional rattle from somewhere in the rear related to the rear sunshade. The dealer couldn't duplicate it, but this is not that big a deal. It doesn't happen often. I can tell it's the sunshade because if I raise the sunshade when I hear the rattle, the rattle goes away. There is/was also a minor electrical problem with the entertainment system. Occasionally, if I shut off the entertainment system while driving, when I get to my destination and turn off the car, the entertainment system will come on when I open the door to leave the car. Though I haven't had this problem for many months. The sunroof used to strain while closing - eventually getting to the point that it wouldn't close unless I helped it with my hand. The dealer has subsequently corrected the problem. During the most recent visit to the dealer to swap out the grab handles, they also did an update to the computer software. The car used to be a bit jittery at low throttle, but that problem seems to have been corrected as a result. It's also possible the update corrected the electrical problem with the entertainment system. I also had a problem with the driver seat moving ever-so-slightly during corners. It was just something you could feel in your butt, rather than any major movement of the seat. This was a known problem and was corrected by the dealer under warranty. I happen to be a bit old-fashioned and will open the car door for my wife. Periodically, if I start the car remotely and open the door for my wife, when I close the passenger-side door the driver seat and steering wheel will position themselves in the pre-programmed driver's position as if I had sat in the seat. Makes for a bit of a squeeze when I go to sit. It's not a big deal because it doesn't happen often. The dealer could not duplicate. The sport model has staggered tires, so they cannot be rotated front to rear. Tires will therefore need to be replaced more frequently. Most of the issues above were/are minor annoyances. The car is otherwise fantastic. Very comfortable and quiet. Fantastic sounding entertainment system. UPDATED COMMENTS BELOW... At about 42,000 miles the high pressure fuel pump ticking on cold-start (which is considered normal for this engine, and I didn't really worry about) got much louder. And then rather than ticking going away after about 20 seconds, I can now hear ticking from inside the cabin pretty much all the time. This bothers me a great deal. Previously the car was pretty much silent. I took the car into the dealer and they said the sound is normal, but I'm not buying it. This continuous ticking that can be heard from inside the cabin never happened before. Also, on a prior oil change I sent the used oil to Blackstone lab for analysis. Everything was good except for elevated levels of silver, which *could* reflect bearing wear, or possibly from solder connections. It was recommended to not worry about it until a subsequent analysis. These elevated silver readings may or may not have anything to do with the increase ticking volume. The car is still under warranty for a couple more years, so I'll ride out this current problem for the time being. If it worsens I'll bring it back to the dealer for possible warranty work.

Comfortable luxury Sedan

Upgraded from original Hyundai Genesis with 3.8 to 2018 3.3t 2 years ago. The cars interior are similar with the exception of nicer leather alcantera headliner and carbon fiber inserts. Exterior adds the nicer IMO front end and wheel package. But the real difference is the engine and the handling, which takes this car a few notches above my 2015 Genesis. I have owned this car for 2 years trouble free. It is fun adult car, with good power without the attention seeking noise of most sport sedans. If you are in the market for a 4-5 seater for business, this will be a bargain on the used market. Regularly maintain this car, and you will be dollars ahead of your Pals with MB, Audi and BMW’s. Good bye Germans. The Koreans have arrived.
