Hyundai should be at the top of the list

Like many others here, I too can't believe I even looked at Hyundai, let alone getting one! I began researching this car early in the year. I was coming to lease end on a 2006 M45 Sport and wanted something much less expensive, uses regular fuel and gets better gas mileage. I liked the handling dynamics of the M45 and was worried that I took a big step backwards in handling. Not so! I have found myself taking the same turns and curves in the Hyundai that I did with the M45 - at the same speeds - and the Hyundai is just as "planted" as was the M45. Obviously the M was quicker, but I enjoy everything about the Hyundai better.

THAT is a Hyundai?

Great looking, fun to drive and dripping with technology. I am 6'7" and fit comfortably in this vehicle. My vehicle is pearl back with tan leather interior and is a head turner. I can't tell you how many times I get asked "what is that?" - of course once they are told it is the standard response - THAT is a Hyundai. If you are in the market for luxury sedan, you owe it to yourself to test drive the Genesis.

I have just had my Genesis since Jan 17/2009. It beats the heck out of my Chrysler 300 (2005) by a mile. I looked at Nissan Maxima, Altima, Lincoln, Buick, Cadillac and they did not even come close. The car is superb.

I walked into the Hyundai showroom to see the Genesis in person as I had only seen it on tv. I am not sure how long my mouth hung open as I took in the whole car! Eventually I made my way to the sticker and realized this model cost 6k less than other similarly styled cars. I arrived in a '07 Altima SE and drove home in the same Genesis that afternoon. The car is so quiet and powerful,a head turner for sure. Everything I have looked for in a car.

They have to get better at service

So today I went to Power Hyundai in Scottsdale AZ for my first service. My NAV/Radio were fine. They tried to apply the T63 update and after three tries quit because the second DVD of 3 was rejected. The technicians called Hyundai tech support all day and got no response from the tech people. My radio is OK but NAV stopped working and all works Verrrrry slooooowly. They promise to get this fixed. My beef is with Hyundai tech support. What right do they have not to call back all day to a dealership needing help? I called the consumer line and was told by the only person I could reach that he would call a regional manager- obviously a useless ploy. Hyundai needs to get organized/return calls!!
