I think it's great!
Only had it for a week but I love the ride and the abundance of luxury all the way around! Everyone at work has been complimenting it! Not too hard to learn the many features. Can't confidently speak on reliability yet.

The best automobile on the road for the money
I have owned six Lexus's and a Kia k900 and the Genesis is by far superior for the money and tops the others in all respects. I have had it about five years and only one problem... brakes locking.l. 3/15/22: I have had my G90 for three years and have had zero problems. It is one of the best cars I've owned which is about twenty five. I've owned six Lexus vehicles and I find this Genesis to be overall better than a Lexus. A comparable Lexus vehicle would cost about $25,000 more. If you have wondered about buying a Genesis I would recommend that you go ahead and do so. I hope you will not be disappointed.

What a DEAL
I have owned and driven a variety of luxury vehicles from Lincoln, Cadillac, and Audi, but this one is the best deal ever! This is perhaps not the best execution of a luxury auto, as I really loved my Audi's, which had better execution of handling/ride/fuel economy and technology, but the cost at which to achieve that better vehicle does not justify the price. Genesis has done a great job creating a seriously comfortable car with lots of goodies to wow you. Tack on that Genesis is having a tough time moving these cars as many people are choosing SUV's, plus a lack of brand prestige that comes with a name like Lexus, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Inifinity, Acura, Lincoln, Jaguar or Cadillac among mainstream luxury. But, those difficulties and an updated upcoming 2020 model, allowed me to make an awesome deal at the end of the year because of incentives and get one for over $10K below list. What was already a great deal, became an awesome deal. At this price, I can sacrifice not having a perfect luxury and I don't need to impress anyone with a spiffy badge on the car. This is for me! 1 year update. This car is amazing, love the comfort. It may not have the badge recognition, but it is an extremely comfortable car. It does not have the performance of the German automobiles and the fuel economy is not up to par with the competition. I am getting an average of 23-24 mpg highway on ethanol blends, and 25-26 mpg on no ethanol premium. I can sacrifice some fuel economy for what I paid. The one big knock is the the sound system...occasionally on a long trip the sound will shut off. The radio shows it is on, but there is not a sound coming from the system. After this has happened a couple of times, I know the solution is to stop the car, turn it off, walk away to get the key fob out of range of the car and come back, start it up and go again. Very odd. I looked on the Genesis owners blog and have seen many with similar experiences and no apparent solutions from Genesis as this is a non-replicable problem. Now, after 3 years and 24,000 miles, I am still quite pleased with the G90. The only other issue is an occasional problem with the trunk release button on the dash not activating the trunk decklid. When the button is pushed, it will unlatch the trunk, but not fully open the trunk. For those who are not familiar, the trunk decklid is motorized and opens and closes with a touch of a button or key fob. Other than that, this car has been a dream. On long road trips, I can drive for 10 hours or longer and not really feel uncomfortable or tired, unlike driving other vehicles in my possession. We have taken this car on 1000+ mile trips at least 4 times and love the comfort. The one issue is that the car does sit a bit low, especially when fully loaded and it can bottom out when going over some obstacles like speed bumps in parking lots. Some of the speed bumps encountered are a bit high and if one goes over a higher one at bit too quickly, the soft suspension and low ride height, will have the car impact the speed bump. After 3 years of ownership, I can say I really enjoy this car. The new models certainly have a bit more eye appeal and more refined as far as features, but for value, this was still an awesome purchase. The new models are now list for $20K more than when I bought 3 years ago, but much of that can be attributed to inflation and increased brand recognition since Genesis has successfully launched Motor Trend winners like the G70, GV70, and this year the G90. Genesis' parent Hyundai is now working with the dealerships to require a separate facility for Genesis and Hyundai sales and service. There will be fewer Genesis dealers as many have decided not to incur the expense of building a new facility for Genesis. In my opinion, the lack of the separate facilities for the Genesis brand has hurt sales, as upscale buyers have not wanted feel like they were in a "budget" facility, that lacked upscale amenities available at other luxury dealerships. That should be changed over the next couple of years.

Start acting like a luxury car brand
The car itself is well built and very nice. The problem is the dealers. Genesis National needs to demand higher standards from their dealers. Too many Genesis dealers act like slick Eddies used car lot and pool hall emporium. When you pay that kind of money one expects first class service after the sale. Warning! A Genesis Certified used car means nothing. A carfax means nothing if the damage was not reported. If dealers can’t meet standards to compete with BMW, MB, Audi, then pull their franchise. If Genesis can’t provide timely and proper service then they will always be an also ran car company. If you take the cheese off the pizza, nobody will buy your product no matter how cheap the price is. Genesis, clean up your act and get your act together.
