I have never posted an online review of a car, but the G90 deserves a review. The most economical way to describe it is 85% of an S Class at 60% of the price. In my case, because of the lease cash available, I paid roughly 50% of what I would have paid for a comparably equipped S Class. My previous car was a 2015 Hyundai Genesis, which I really like even though it had two issues-- the dealer service was beyond awful (I got sub-Hyundai level service as a Genesis owner) and the build quality was a bit lacking (rattles in the front left wheel, behind the glove compartment and in the sunroof that were never resolved). I think the service issue will be resolved as Genesis narrows its dealer network. The concierge service likely will also help, but I have not used it yet. So far, the build quality on my G90 has been flawless. The technology on the car is impeccable. Nothing groundbreaking, but it has everything you would want (other than Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) and, more important, everything is intuitive and easy to use. You can adjust the climate, use the navigation and use the media with minimal distraction. The ride quality is exceptional. This car is true luxury. If you are shopping for a car in which to pamper yourself, make sure you look at this one. I know there is a certain snob appeal to a Mercedes, BMW or Audi badge, but you can impress your friends just as much by proving you are smart enough to save tens of thousands of dollars, while still driving in luxury.

Great value. Comes fully loaded. No options to nickel and dime you. Best warranty with valet pickup for regular maintenance, all paid for I’ve had it for over three years. It’s been perfect and as good as the day I bought it. 43,000 miles later. Still the best car I’ve ever owned. No issues since day one although updating the nav msps is a horrible experience At 53,000 miles - still no issues at all. Finally got nav updated and all good.

When Covid first hit the world sequestered inside. I on the other hand masked up and drove every luxury car (up to 120K) new and preowned at dealerships, some models up to 5 times by the end to narrow down my final choice. I spent way too much time reading all I could find out about each model from MB S class, BMW , Audi, Porsche Lexus, Infinity, Cadillac and Tesla, as my work was on hold due to the pandemic so I had the time. When the dust settled in my search months later, ! discovered it came down to 3 things I personally strove for. 1. I wanted a driver seat that never again left me uncomfortable after an all day drive. I'm the kind of guy that can go 8 hours if the gas or my bladder holds up. So when I drag my mature butt out of the seat I want to stand tall without groaning and in need of Advil. 2. If I was going to spend an absurd amount of money on an automotive whim not really a need to make sure this car needed to make me smile both when I look at it and and absolutely everytime while I'm driving it getting as close to a body dunked in ginger ale religious experience as possible. 3. Finally, I don't want to spend 2 grand or more for a scheduled maintenance. Now rest assured I was fully aware when the craziness of world appocolypse is being proclaimed I knew even when we beat this bug, a nasty recession and crazy inflation would most likely follow. I also know Oil Companies would screw us to recoupe their losses when everyone wasn't driving for a year or more to come, so I knew buying a big sedan that gets lousy gas mileage was just the price I'd have to pay. Therefore, after half a year of searching and reading and looking at customer reliability (much the same as you are doing reading this) I honed in on the Lexus LS, The Lincoln Continental, and the Genesis G90. Reliability and cost of ownership after you spend what was a home price 60 year ago was too much with most of the vehicles, and what was with surprisingly hard or less than amazing seats? With many of the cars my #1 and #2 were fulfilled. In the end however the Lincoln with that pilot engineered, 30 some adjustment seat, WITH MASSAGE, that takes 20 minutes to dial in to your exact body type, and the Genesis "we give you everything but Apple Car Play" in your car for one price... No trim levels, no "oh sorry this trim level at $96'000. doesn't come with heads up display or the super duper audiophile stereo system!" This, in the end, made me drop the Lexus. I almost put up with that trim level nonsense because Lexus is so dependable proven over decades but a 100 Grand after tax should give me a stereo where I can hear the sheet music being turned by the orchestra! And guess what? The Genesis G90 did exactly that! Just link your Apple phone through bluetooth and play Rackmaninoff to the Carpenters, Billie Eilish to the Beatles and you'll hear what I mean! It also has great looks, albeit perhaps a mish mash of other luxury top lines, it ripped off most of the best lines and it's cabin was quiet like no other. Oh sure, it's seat is a step below the Lincoln but it has more power, smoother transmission and it gave me that smile factor a tad more. I like all the little things all these cars give but bang for the buck, reliability expectations and the wonderful little things others charge much more for tipped the scale to the G90. As the pandemic wore on I almost wrote the whole car shopping adventure off as income was so low but then I received a call one night from a dealer I'd called 4 months earlier 150 miles away and was informed they had a Black one with only 15K miles. I negotiated for a couple hours that night and stole it from them the next morning. I've had it now a little over 2 years and I LOVE IT. Better than I could have hoped for. Yes I can drive all day and get out without a groan, I smile at it when I come out and see it waiting for me at the store or work, it's perks it's ears (side mirrors) when I approach, It shines the Genisis logo (kinda looks like the Batman shape) on the ground beneath my feet at night when I open it and it sings a chime when I turn it off after listening to artists lips smacking close to the microphone during a soft ballad... Yes my friends, you only have so many driving years in your life, shouldn't you find a vehicle that makes it something fun... smile provoking, wonderful? By the way I bought mine for $31500. Less than a new Prius but with gas prices crazy high (like I knew was coming) the cost is equalizing but since those Hybrid batteries have to be burried in Siberia due to toxicity, I figure my carbon footprint is leveled out in the end. P.S. Like others in here, my local Genesis Dealer is an absolute mess! They are plagued with poor customer service, untrained mechanics, lack of parts, and errors abound, perhaps partly due, like so many businesses weening out of this Covid mess, to pissed off humans that don't get paid enough or simply feel they make more on unemployment and State and Federal Economic Impact subsidies but this will end soon enough. Now with chip shortages and used cars costing like new ones once did, it's the wild west out there with no rules and "Dealer additional mark up" that makes me glad I found the sweet spot when I purchased mine. Update: It's been a couple years now and my G90 still puts a smile on my face everytime I enter it!

Be careful of the dealers. They don’t live up to the valet service we have paid for. Treat you terrible. Valet service is non existence. You may have to ride to enterprise and rent a car because they don't have loaners. The car is fine. But after owning other luxury cars, BMW Lexus and a few other, Genesis dealer treat you like you bought a used car because they are fighting with the corporate. Many dealers started as Genesis dealers only to withdraw from the programs and Genesis is leaving customers in the dark by not informing us what’s really happening. Called a dealer and took 10 days to set up service because they don’t or can’t live up to the valet service as per our contracts.

Somehow, the G90 looks perfect to my country club friends. And those who rode in my Flying Spur, think(know) the G90 has the best back seat available. My wife doesn't like all of the bells and whistles on our(her) G90 and has gone back to driving her S550. So, you guessed it, it's now my car :-)
