This has been the most reliable car I have ever owned! Before retiring, I used it in business putting a lot of miles per year. It never failed me and cost me next to nothing in repairs. Just replaced the brakes the first time after over 160K miles! Amazing! Update: After retiring and having logged over 175K miles on my Genius, I decided to trade it in though nothing was wrong with it. I just needed a pickup truck. Even though I love my new truck, I still miss my Genesis.

One of our children had just totaled my 2001 GS430 Lexus L-Tuned. I loved that car. Distraught and needing a car, a friend encouraged me to look at the Genesis. After owning nothing but Lexus, BMW, Saab Turbos,Mazda 929, I was very skeptical.I drove the Genesis demo 8 cylinder for two days. I was amazed. My wife was amazed, and that takes a lot of "doing". I thought about it for two days and drove another V8 demo for a day. I was hooked. We have just finished a 3000 mile trip to New England and on IS-95 the V8 averaged 27.5 mpg--- unbelievable and comfort was great. This car is as good as any I have owned. Keep making Genesis this good and you'll see the competition through the rear view mirror.

My Genesis 3.8 sedan has really good power and delivers great gas mileage. Two issues I've experienced were windows would roll down from drivers door controls but not go back up. They would go up and down from individual door controls though. I took the drivers door controls out and carefully disassembled it to reveal it consists of two circuit boards sandwiched together. I separated them and put them back together. The windows are back to normal. The other issue is with the small black button on the driver's outside door handle. It has become very sensitive and sometimes gets stuck after touching it lightly so the Key Not Found alert tone goes off sometimes when the door is opened. I recently found out that Hyundai is no longer providing map updates for the GPS, the last being 2014. One other problem is with the GPS screen which flickers on and off with varying brightness. It tends to work in hot weather but not so much in cold weather. It is obvious to me there is a poor connection inside somewhere. When I have time I need to open up the dash, remove the unit, and carefully inspect all internal connections and correct anything I see that needs addressing. One year later I still haven't removed and inspected the head unit. Otherwise the car starts, runs, and drives really well. i would buy one again for sure. Several years on, this car continues to be virtually trouble free with one exception, The Navi screen tends to go blank though more so in cold weather. It comes back sometimes while driving. Hitting a bump will make it go out. Obviously there is a loose connection inside the head unit. I just haven't found the time to open up the dash and remove the unit and inspect all internal connections and correct the problem. The rest of the car has been golden.
