I have owned six Mercedes Benz, one 360 Lexus and one Hyundai Equis 90. The Equis is now called Genesis. Without a doubt the Equus/Genesis is the finest car I have ever owned, nothing compares to it. By the way I am 84 years old and I owned all of these cars for years at at a time. We now own a Hyundai Santa Fe and a Ford Thunderbird.

I sold this car one year ago. I am now driving a 2017 Genesis G90. If you are interested, although my Equus was a fine automobile, my new Genesis far exceeds my expectations I all areas.

NOT COMFORTABLE

The long distance comfort of this car is of serious concern. I bought this car and took a 900 mile trip a day later. Three hours into trip, my back was screaming in pain. By the end of trip, I was incapacited, with shooting pains in legs, back and arms. I am a long distance driver and convinced the Hyundia Dealer to buy the car back after showing them the articles on Autoblog about the seats (google Equus Long Distance). The dealer purchase a Lexus LS460 (14,000 miles) and I traded up. I just completed a 600 mile trip in the Lexus. No back pain or any other pain. The front seats in the Equus are poorly designed. No way to modify them, I tried and even had a pad made with memory foam.
