Used 2009 Hyundai Genesis Consumer Reviews
Outstanding car
Hyundai has done just about everything right on the Genesis. There have been complaints about the ride. I find that tire pressure is the problem (and maybe the Dunlop tire as well). The techs at the dealer or tire store will put the tire pressure up to 35 psi. This will produce a rough ride. If you reduce the pressure to 32-33 psi, the ride will be about like a Mercedes E class. I find this to be about right. 30 psi would be even better but the low tire pressure system will signal low tire pressure if it gets below 30 and you have to run it up to 35 to reset the system and get the low pressure message off. Buy a good tire pressure gage and set the pressure yourself.
Genesis V6 with Tech
I have had my car 3 days. What a wonderful car. White Satin Pearl with Beige leather interior.This car is a beauty with great technology. Form and function at the highest level. Can't comment on mileage or reliability as it only 3 days old. I'm still going thru the manuals(they are excellent).
My Genesis
I tinted the windows and added blind side mirrors on both exterior mirrors as I like to switch lanes quickly. This car is the best car I have ever bought. I compared it against the Cadillac, Maxima, Lexus ES350 and Acura TL and like this car the best. My kids wanted me to buy another Chrysler 300C but was sold on the rear leg room once they got to go for a test drive in my Genesis.
First Hyundai
I am a long-time dedicated American car owner. This time after dissatisfaction with the American choices available I reluctantly begun to shop foreign cars. a friend suggested taking a look at the Hyundai Genesis. My first look was at a 3.8 and although impressed was not sold. When a 4.6 hit the lot I was done! This is a surprising car with the amount of interior and trunk space, ride, and quality of engineering. If Korean automakers can do it so much better than our domestic models, it is no wonder we are having to bail out our own companies.
BAD BAD RIDE. Avoid IT
I have leased this care now for 1 year, and I have 2 years to go. The ride is just horrible. It actually makes you sea sick on the roads. The stero is great, the interior looks great. Seats are comfortable, but you buy a car to drive, and it is the worst riding car I have ever had. I can hardly wait to get rid of it. If I wouldn't take a big loss, i'd get rid of it this afternoon.
