Used 2009 Hyundai Genesis Consumer Reviews
BMW - Mercedes - Lexus Look out.
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.
Good bye BMW
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.
No match for excellence yet
So many people are talking about it so I gave it a try. It sure looks like a elegant car, some what BMW, some what mercedes, some what Lexus. Yet, it is none of those, and that is the problem. There is total lack of personality. Well, car is just a car taking you from point A to point B. May be. Finding a car is not just a transportation device to me that actually bothers me.
Genesis has issues to deal with...
After three months, I have found the Genesis to be unstable when driving in medium to strong wind, The steering wheel feedback from the highway is to severe and not acceptable, the manual trunk lid operation to be cheap and unacceptable, the lack of electrical front passenger seat settings to be unacceptable. I continue to study the driver services and reserve any comments on that part at this time. It is the items mentioned above that upset me as an owner and I find it unacceptable engineering for such a car Hyundai hopes to use in competition with BMW, Mercedes and Lexus.
2009 Genesis v6 Prem Pkg Plus & Tech Pkg
I've owned Bimmers, Acuras, and a VW, however, the Genesis is the piece de' resistance... the ride is amazing.. completely comfortable. Phenomenal interior design and layout, with easy access to buttons, controls, etc. Gas mileage is a wonder- Jacksonville, Florida to Miami on 1 tank of gas (without reaching "Low Fuel Notification".. Very impressive for a car this size. The stereo is amazing, and sounds even better with real dvd movies, DVD audio, or a USB flash drive w/ high quality files :)
