A Lot of Bang for the Buck

My wife and I have owned a lot of vehicles before we purchased the Genesis; some very good and some bad. As we age and not into status or snob appeal any longer value,reliability, warranty coverage, and styling are important. Brand cachet was certainly not a consideration when we bought a 2006 Sonata LX (loaded V6). It is a great car for the money. Superb gas mileage for a 235 hp V6 and plenty of good features.So when the Genesis made it's debut in the lux arena we bought a White Satin Pearl 3.8 w/tech package as it came off of the truck. A year of due diligence in the form of technical research, auto magazine and critical reviews sold me on another Hyundai. What an awesome vehicle!

This car is everything I hoped it would be and more. It is designed to maximize the aspect of pleasure behind the wheel without going overboard. It is super quiet, has a magnificent stereo, air conditioned driver's seat, good visibility, comfortable seats, etc. Mechanically the car is totally satisfactory.

I like the car overall well enough. Quality is good. The only problem I have noticed so far is the tracking at highway speeds is a bit loose - that is, it wanders off desired track easily and steering is a little twitchy, especially in even a slight cross wind. I haven't driven it enough to develop an opinion about the gas mileage, reliability or other operation aspects.

I am having a ball with my Genesis 4.6 with the Technology package. BMW, MB & Lexus look out for the new kid on the block, Hyundai hit a grand slam with this one. I also have an 06 lexus LS 430. This car is nicer in every way. Looked at the new LS460 with all the toys and except for a few minor touches the Genesis is a steal at 25K less.

My last two vehicles where the 528i and the 745i. Hallelujah Hyundai Genesis! What more can I say, the car is great and without considering the price differential. The few detractors are simply jealous and it is all about status symbol for them. When I drove it home 3 weeks ago I found myself 50K dollars richer as I was about to buy the 750.
