The Genesis is actually the best stereo you can buy that that delivers you to your destination in fine luxury and comfort. The balance between comfort and being close to sporty is outstanding. Car & Driver and Road & Track can gig the car for Sportiness - not all of us like the taut, firm ride of the BMW'S and Audi's. The gas mileage is better than expected, especially cruising at 75. As mentioned by many, dealer support for a luxury car needs to be better. Hyundai does stand by there warranty. Our dealer gave us 2 years worth of oil changes and car washes, and has a very good reputation. I would advise finding a good dealer when buying. The value of this Luxury car is outstanding.
Great car but....

I have been a Hyundai owner for about 5 years and have always been impressed with the quality of the cars for the money you spend. The Genesis is absolutely no exception. I went in for an oil change on my old Elantra, test drove the Genesis, and got it that day. At least once a day I have someone comment on how much they love the look of the car. The solid performance rounds out a really great package. Be careful though if you live in colder climates, the car is a real wheel drive which is great when it is nice out, and even in the rain but when it snows, the car struggles for traction (I spent 35 minutes today stuck on the side of a slightly inclined road while other cars passed)
Nice, but definitely doesn't compare

I recently purchased a 4.6 Genesis for my wife, and I'm not too impressed. An impulse buy really, but I'm beginning to see why the car is so much cheaper than my BMW. The engine is pretty nice, but in no way compares with my 550i's V8 (torque curve, etc). I'm pretty particular about my cars, and it's the little details with the Genesis that turn me off. The materials just feel inferior, and it just seems like Hyundai stole design features from all of their so- called "competitors", down to the fake iDrive and 5-series exterior styling cues. I think the buyers of this car will realize over time that this car is just a flashy attempt at producing a true luxury car w/o any substance.
Underpriced Luxury

I've owned this car one month with every passing week appreciating the Genesis more and more. The technology features are plentiful and well thought out. Dollar for dollar the Genesis equipped with the Tech Package is a stunning value. The 290hp V6 engine is more than adequate for enthusiastic driving. The Genesis handling is nicely balanced between sportiness and numbness with just enough road feel to inspire confidence and comfort. Exterior noise does not penetrate the cabin yielding a wonderfully quiet ride. The 528w 17 speaker Lexicon surround sound fills your driving experience with clear, crisp, enriching musical enjoyment. I considered 335xi, CTS4, & ES350, but bought a Genesis. Wow!
Makes a long commute a joy

This is my first luxury vehicle, just coming out of a 96 Maxima SE. Test drove the 2009 Maxima, 2008 Acura TL, and the Genesis. The Genesis outclassed them all, so I ended up buying a V6 w/Tech Package. The features on this car are an incredible value even though I still shudder when I think about how much higher my loan is on this car. Great ride - kind of similar to my father's 2001 BMW 528i, but more smooth overall. Definitely not as mushy as a Lexus, but not as punishing as a Beemer. Great looking car, too - I've gotten a lot of rave reviews of the car's looks and disbelief when I tell them "It's a Hyundai." All-around excellent car.
