Beautiful car but so disappointed!

Reading all the reviews on this car sounded wonderful. I haven't had a new car in over 7 years so when researching I found this car appeared to rate with the Lexus and BMW with a lower price but with all the features. The reviews boasted that this was the luxury car of the year. Not in my book. I chose the G80. It is an ok ride but after having a Cadillac and use to that comfort this ranks way below. The inside feels stiff and boxed in. The trunk is rather small and I would have a hard time getting in 2 sets of golf clubs. The trunk has an automatic release inside and the new feature is the auto open trunk when you stand behind with your key in hand. All nice and good but there is no auto shut button. I have to slam the trunk shut myself. After complaining to the dealer about it I was told to just take my frustrations out when shutting the trunk. How embarrassing. Granted all my fault I didn't look the car over well enough before signing the paperwork. I do not plan to keep this car long and will definitely go with Lexus, Infiniti, etc. the next purchase around. In the meantime, steer clear if you are looking for a REAL luxury car.

Azera vs G80

First the G 80 is much more expensive. The brakes don't brake as fast. The steering isn't as nimble. The rear area has less headroom. The Infinity stereo had more power in the Azera and sounds better than the G 80's.. It's hard to see out the pillars on the G 80. Better legroom in the Azera

2019 G80 3.3t Sport

I cam to this vehicle from a 2015 Genesis 3.8 AWD, which provided flawless service for some 6 years and will remain in the family. The 3.3t feels like a bigger power upgrade than the 5.0 V8 even though it isn't. Peak torque on the V8 sits way up high in the rev range, so like the 3.8 V6, you have to rev it out to get it to move. The 3.3t just pulls. Any gear, any rpm, any road speed. Some very useful tech upgrades versus the 2015 car as well - adaptive cruise, auto-leveling and cornering LED headlights, active lane-keep assist and Android Auto / Apple CarPlay are a few that I really enjoy. The adaptive suspension is another significant hardware upgrade. Only downside is that fuel economy takes a very much expected hit. Comfortable, whisper-quiet, composed and fast. I'm loving it. Many months further along and my opinion hasn't changed. Strong acceleration and very composed handling remain the dynamic strengths. Interior styling and comfort routinely draw praise from those accompanying me on a drive. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
