Used 2009 Hyundai Genesis Consumer Reviews
Beware a bumpy ride
I just leased a base model Genesis a week ago. Sadly I like everything about it except the suspension. When I first test drove it, I noticed it was a bit bumpy, but I thought maybe it was because of the road I was on. I also noticed a few reviews mentioned bumpiness. But when I test drove it the second time it felt OK so I went ahead and leased it. After I took it home, I started feeling that the bumpiness was quite pronounced and at times jarring. I often find myself getting bumped up out of my seat, akin to the feeling of airplane turbulence. The vehicle has an odd combination of soft and hard ride. It feels cushy on a perfectly smooth road, but imperfections make the ride feel very bumpy.
It's a Keeper!
Only having the car for less than a week makes it difficult to offer critique that might affect someone's buying decision. However, I am so impressed with how this car feels and performs that I am compelled to write something. Prior to making this purchase, I checked every available review, both professional and consumer, and I shopped every available source. When it became clear that this car was one that I should strongly consider, I agonized over whether I would buy a 3.8 or 4.6 variant. For the difference in price, I am happy with my choice although both cars are winners. I have owned a stable of fine cars over the years, and, Hyundai just didn't appeal to me...until now!
Genesis for a Genesis
My company name- Genesis, so my wife kept suggesting that I buy... a Genesis. For the fun of it, we did a test drive and fell in love. The dealership was sensitive to the upscale nature of the car and us being informed buyers. It has been BIG fun so far with the head turns (there are only 3-4 in Tyler TX (our home) so far. And we are adding all of the 'wings' extras to personalize it from KAI. The trim is the premium plus with the technology package. We wanted the V8, but.. they can't keep them on the lot! I was ok with the power of the V6, but missed some of the trim that is only available on the V8. BUT, we're adding most back in. LOVE it!
Seven series killer
Believe it or not I once believed that Hyundai was an inferior brand, after buying my Genesis And driving the car for the last week I must say that anyone in the large performance Luxury Market would be foolish not to buy this car every aspect of this automobile screams Luxury From the twelve way power seat to the throaty almost three hundred Horsepower v-6 I have owned a diverse selection of luxury cars and I have to say I have never been more impressed with a vehicle. I am also surprised how many people break their neck looking at the car If you are considering a new Luxury car drive all others first and then drive the Genesis. better yet just drive it first then take it home
Hyundai won this battle.
I bought my car a couple days ago and I can tell you that this a nice car, I compared this car with the Lexus gs 350 and the Infiniti g35 and the handling, ride and quietness of this car is superior.
