Great car with lots of safety, comfort and passenger room. Great free service for 3 years. My dealer is rated number 1 in service for the entire USA. Will be bringing the car in for free total detailing shortly. Also, they fill up the gas tank and hand wash the car every time the car is in for service. Just ordered latest map and media updates from Genesis web site at no cost. Will be driving to Florida in November. This car is fabulous on long trips and very comfortable and safe to drive.

Had my g80 for 3 weeks now. Its a nice car, but it’s hardly a BMW or E class. Electronics do the job but not intuitive. A site map in the manual should be added. Only 1 USB port in a car with no CD is really bad. If you want to listen to your music you will need to load up your phone or download to a flash drive and disconnect you phone. Neither should be necessary for $50,000 vehicle. Console does not lock, so forget leaving the car with the valet. Road noise is not worthy of this class car. Nice features like a fence, but it stops short as you cannot set the fence fron the Genesis app. Dont get me wrong, its a nice car. But I wish I spent the extra money for the E class.

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.

Good Luxury Car for the Price

2019 Genesis G80 5.0 Ultimate 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl 8A)

I have owned the 2019 V8 5.0 Ultimate for 3 years. There is currently 25k miles on the car. My overall view is that for the price it is a good deal compared to luxury features you would expect from a Lexus or a Mercedes at a much lower cost. I have had no major problems with the car, but I don't drive it much, maybe 1000 miles a year all highways. Only a minor problem with the sunroof rattling when I hit a bump which I just live with. The main thing I don't like about the car is it is not fun to drive in the city. It just feels heavy not nimble. My 2006 Infiniti M45 is much nimbler and fun to drive. Although my M45 has 335 HP compared to 425 HP for the G80 the M45 feels like it has more torque. The G80 is a great highway car - very fast acceleration from 50 to 100, incredibly good sound system and electronics. Comfortable ride very quiet. More of a cruiser than a sports sedan.
