I tried a lot of cars when the lease on my 2015 Genesis was up. This car rode and felt better than many of the others. And the price was great. Compared to the '15 Genesis, this one looks even nicer, particularly the front end. It is quieter, more powerful and feels solid and well poised on the road. My only complaint at this time is that the back seats do not go down to extend the vey large trunk and that you still can't find an address with the navigation system using a zip code.

Watch out BMW 5 Series and Audi A6

After driving used certified low mileage Audi A6 Premium Plus and BMW 535i XDrive, both priced at $47K, I felt pretty dejected. There was no way I was willing to pay $72K for a properly optioned new car. Enter the 2018 G80 Sport which I bought new for $55.1K. It lacks no option I could dream up. Adaptive cruise - check. All known forms of safety technology - check. AWD - check. Killer audio system - check. Plus plenty of other options that are extra charge on the German machines. So one might ask: what good are any of these things if the car isn't a pleasure to be in and drive? Check. The G80 Sport rides and handles most like the BMW 535i XDrive which is to say it is not a sports car but a very useful and pleasant hybrid cross between sport and luxury. It is very quiet inside, even at highway speeds. Handling is quite competent and feels well planted. Ride is sufficiently isolated, but not out-of-touch or floaty. The cabin is wonderfully laid out and comfortable. Controls have a satisfying tactile feel and are well placed. The infotainment and nav systems are works of art. Incredibly logical, aesthetically pleasing, comprehensive, and also includes the Lexicon audio system which is the best I've ever listened to in a car (Harman Kardon, JBL, Bose, Mark Levinson, B&O, etc.). Am I happy? Check. Watch out BMW and Audi. If you are *only* looking for one of these nameplates, your eyes are off the ball.

A PLEASURE TO DRIVE

I have owned a 2018 G80 3.3T (AWD) for 8 months now. It has been an absolute pleasure to own and drive. The acceleration is smooth and impressive. The interior is beautiful and comfortable. The climate control is consistent no matter how hot or cold it is outside. It's beautiful from the exterior and the interior. The gas mileage is, frankly, poor (about 16) - but I'd trade the gas mileage for the amazing acceleration every time. I drove a friends Prius the other day and wondered if they forgot the connect the gas pedal to the engine. So far, it has been a ton of fun to drive, and a fantastic value. Oh, the sound system is spectacular - including surround sound. My home sound system cost about $25k, and the Lexicon in this car sounds better. Hat's off to the folks at Hyundai. Luxury without breaking the bank. I've now had it for more than a year, and still love to drive it. I could not be more pleased. **UPDATE I have now owned the car for 3 years. I still love it and continue to be impressed at how much car it is for the money. Reliability has also been stellar. Still very pleased, and it remains a pleasure to drive.

Love the car - hate the service

I love my 2018 g80 sport with AWD. Unfortunately my dealer was closed about 6 months after I bought the car. No dealer within 60 miles. While I have valet pick up service, I’m given Hyundai’s as loaners by nearest service dealer, which has no Genesis cars. They also don’t know how to service the G80 - my tire pressure light was on when they drove it back to me after an oil change. The tech didn’t know the correct tire pressure! I’ve also been waiting over 4 weeks now to hear back from Genesis re the issues. Definitely Hyundai level service and nowhere near equal to any middle class sedan, never mind Mercedes or BMW.

Noisey ride still bothers me.

I owned a 2015 G80 before this 2018 and I'd like my 2015 back. I find this car to be very noisey for a luxury car. There is road noise and under car noise. I took it back to the dealer after the first week and he came with me for a road test. He agreed it was pretty noisy. Also the continental tires were developing bubbles in the sidewalls and also blowouts. Both Genesis and the dealer gave me no satisfaction. I changed out the tires to Michelin at my cost of $1100. for my own piece of mind. It is still a lot noisier than my 2015 so I now play the radio at a higher volume to drown out the noise. I guess I got the lemon as most people like the ride and quiet. I like everything else about the car. I'm 80 years old so unfortunately this will be my last car!
