Do not test drive the G80

I found after about 20 feet of driving the G80 that I knew I was buying the car, even though I had not yet got on the street.. I wanted to take the test drive... I love the car.... one silly feature that no one would notice that I really LOVE is the hanger in the trunk, it supports my grocery bag on the way home from the store, no longer are my cat food cans all over the trunk, they stay right in the bag... WONDERFUL.... After a year of owning the car, I can not fault anything about the car... It gives me between 16 and 17 MPG strictly city driving, this on Octane 87 pump gas regular...... The car is of the highest build quality, after a year of owning it I am amazed at how cheaply and poorly made much more expensive cars are... ! ! If I win Powerball or Mega Millions, I would just build a nicer more roomy garage for my Genesis, I would not be replacing it PERIOD ! !!

G80 for my 70’s

I have driven some preaty cool cars but this one puts the rest to shame. Acura-Infinity FX35- Chrysler 300 - GMC Envoy & 2013 Geneis V6. I drove this car for a couple of years and that sold me on the brand. The over all functionality was superior in every category. Then in 2018 I had a chance to get in on the launch of the new Brand Geneis that competes with Lexus- Infinity- Acura- BMW - Mercedes at a much better price and the same quality. I wish I had waited on the G80 & now the G70. I plan to drive it for 10-25 years. Thanks South Korea

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
