Don’t Buy Genesis

I purchased this car in Oct. 2021. Ran great for almost a year but then started having problems in Oct. 2022 with less than 10,000 miles. In the last 3 months it has been towed into the shop 3 times for multiple electronic and engine malfunctions. So far it has been in the shop 7 out of the last 12 weeks. Still there. They also are not able to get parts for the car in a timely manner including a battery, which supposedly is now causing all the problems after a fuel injector replacement. Genesis customer service, while polite, only offers apologies for the continued problems. They tout the great warranty. While the car has great design, comfort and style, it is very unreliable and Genesis doesn't seem to care. UPDATE: After another month in the shop with assurances my 2022 G80 was finally repaired, I only made it 40 miles from the dealership when every warning light on the dashboard began to cycle through again. Had to turn around and take back to the dealer. Service manager assured me the original problem that he attempted to fix twice before was just a battery. Apparently this car has serious electrical issues. Steer clear.

Had a test drive and fall in love with this car. Comfort oriented suspension with great handling, accurate shifting 8 speed transmission, with strong V6 engine with more than enough low end torque. My highway average gas mileage has been about 27-28 mpg on summer blend gas. It is a must test drive car for those who want a reliable luxury smooth riding sedan.

Nice car, roof rattling noises

The car is gorgeous in style inside and out. I love the car except for the fact that the moonroof rattling noises. After 4 trips to service and countless hours lost. The rattling sounds were eliminated but not completely. I originally wanted to keep it in the family for a long time. Unfortunately I can’t now. It’s a shame because it is a very good car otherwise.

Prettiest sedan in its price class

This is an impressive car. I don't think there is a prettier sedan anywhere close to its price category. Very comfortable, good to drive, quiet. Plus you get the Genesis reliability. I've not had a chance to test it, but that is the way it should be. The only luxury feature which I miss is the ability to touch lock/unlock the rear doors (this feature is only implemented for the front doors). Carbon fibre trim is stunning, and way more attractive than the matte wood that many of its competitors feature. Having had a number of German cars, I can tell you that these guys also sometimes omit things you should be getting. I once owned a BMW 650 which, at a very high price, had no grab handles anywhere on the inside of the vehicle. So the fact that Genesis does not have every single luxury feature that you could name is not surprising. Please note that interior color scheme is a "port option." Thus, you may find combinations at dealers which are not shown on the manufacturer's website. Mine was one of those. Beautiful vanilla/beige that is not listed on the website. There are a bunch of Far East video reviews online on this model, so please don't assume that everything shown there can be had in the USA. One item that's available in South Korea which does not come to the USA is rear-seat video monitors. But of course this is a sedan and not an MPV, so this is probably not the vehicle you would get to haul a bunch of kids around. Also note that many of the luxury goodies are not available in any trim other than the 3.5T Sport AWD. And even on that one, you need to get the Prestige package in order to get a nicely kitted out model.
