I have owned my 2010 Titanium/Black 4.6 Tech for 6 weeks and it no less than impressive in just about every area. Looked at 2011 BMW 535/550, BMW 335, Infiniti G37, 2011 Infiniti M37, 2010 Mercedes E350/550, Genesis V6, Ford Taurus SHO, and others. Kept coming back to the Genesis V8 for the power, execution, features, and overall value. This is an outstanding automobile. Fit and finish is impressive, the drivetrain is awesome, and the Tech pack goodies cannot be beat. In my opinion, the 4.6 was much more car and a better value than the V6 (3.8). Buying experience was totally painless ($38K). I am extremely pleased with my Genesis and would purchase the same vehicle over again.
Less than a month but...

I typically write my reviews after a MUCH longer period of time. But i've decided to write a review now and then come back maybe in a year and compare / update my thoughts. I was forced into the market due to a total loss on my 2005 Toyota Avalon. I was going for a BMW or something and decided it was not yet quite time for such a luxury car. After some research and reviews, I decided to check out the Hyundai Genesis. In a nutshell I am NOT disappointed after my choice. I feel this car is very much a premium car and it might not yet be at the same level as a BMW or Lexus or Mercedes, but it will get there soon maybe even there with the later year Models. It's winter now and I am reminded why I wanted heated seats, they work so well, I usually turn down after a few minutes. Almost the only item I miss is my 2005 Avalon Limited had remote start which this does not so I have to remember to start the car if I want it to heat up, but again with the heated seats, that is not much of an issue. I am yet to fully test its traction and stability but in the little snow I drove in, it was fine. I got a V8 with the tech package, Nav, rear view camera et al. Where has this been all my driving life! LOL One strange thing I noticed is when it started snowing one day, the parking assist was going crazy! beeping every few minutes, I had to turn it off. I think it is so sensitive it was picking up snowflakes! Its another feature i love, so aside from the back up camera, the parking assist notifies you on the front and back when you get too close to an object, including your front and back left and right areas. Very useful when trying to get into tight parking spaces. Thus far my only issue is my bluetooth seems to drop the connection sometimes in the middle of a call. I actually think that has to do with my phone. But a plus on that is I can pair both my work and home cell phones to the car and switch as needed. Oh another con is I would like to update the NAV but can't seem to figure out how to do that, I guess a dealer visit is needed... will i have to do this every YEAR!??? I can write much more, it will be much more positive rather than negative. Now I wonder what my first dealer experience will be... Oh my, I hope and pray... Oh Hyundai if you EVER read this, Can you figure out how to give us the option to have Android Auto installed on these models as well???

Driving: the car drives very good - it compares to much more expensive cars like Audi, Mercedes (not BMW's stiff ride which I do not like). Interior comfort is very good, soft leather seats (that need a bit more support). Lots of rear seat room for 3 adults. I have the tech package and to use the radio you must go through the "mouse" hand control -- unsafe when driving & miserable when it could be so easy with standard controls---same with navigation system (give us the "touch screen also Hyundai), but it does have a Nice big screen. My gas mileage is averaging 21 mpg - good for this size car. Consumer reports says reliability is only average on the v-8
Surprising build quality

This car is a winner. I loved my Acura RL - unfortunately totalled in an accident. Drove Merc E, BMW 5, Lexus GS, etc. If all the same price I would buy this car. More leg room than a BMW 750i, quieter cabin than a Merc S class, same HP, acceleration and MPG as a Lexus LS460. Linear torque curve & loads of power. 10 yr warranty & under $40k w/ V8 & tech pkg. Wow. What an incredible value. The topper is the xclt build quality & refinement, worthy of a Lexus. Minor complaints - should have more wood trim inside (they're probably holding back to not outshine the upcoming Equus). The suspension is well tuned but transmits a little too much input to the passengers when on imperfect roads.
Good but not Great

I rented this car from Avis for a week while on vacation. It had less than 4,000 miles on it. It has a buffeting noise that is really irritating when you are on winding roads, I don't think extensive wind tunnel testing was done on this car. My car also had a built in GPS and it was the worst GPS I have ever worked with. I had to put my Tom Tom in to get anywhere reliably. There is no power outlet in the rear of the car, I was traveling with my family and one power outlet is not enough for us. I have owned Audis, Acuras and Infinities. The Genesis is a good value for the money but they are still not in the same class as the more expensive brands.
