Fun to drive and wonderful on long freeway trips. average mpg is 24. The 4.6 V8 has very good acceleration, 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds, leaves BMWs in its dust. Very good seats and easy to get in and our of. The adaptive cruise is the one of the best features.

I love almost everything about this 2011 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 vehicle. The 3 cons are, the seats are not comfortable after riding over 1 hour, long trips are hell. engine cold start goes beserk every winter when the temperature is cold it idles so rough you can’t drive it. I bring to the dealerships and they always say they can’t find nothing wrong. The electric system goes haywire sometimes like windows won’t go up or down, radio won’t come on and the engine won’t start. Turn everything off and walk away and 5 minutes later everything works fine. They got some serious qurks in the electrical system. I would not buy another Hyundai Genesis.

I traded my 2009 3.8 Tech package for a 2011 4.6. I was very happy with the 2009 3.8, so I'm a repeat buyer. I even got the same color - Titanium metallic. Beyond the beefier motor, the things that are pleasant enhancements in the new car are: - Adaptive Cruise control - Navigation and EIS seem snappier - Bluetooth - I was never able to download my address book in the 2009 3.8 - but it worked the first time in the 2011.

Love it!

I bought this car in Jan 2013 with 19k miles. I was considering a BMW 550 or A6 4.2, but my Genesis was exactly HALF the price of an equivalent German sedan (I paid $25k all included, in mint condition, with warranty until forever). And my genesis is quieter, safer and more reliable than any BMW or Audi, too. I had some qualms about the lack of a premium badge, but now I consider it a point of pride: I look at a guy in a BMW and think of the extra $25k I have in the bank...
My first luxury sedan experience

This is my first luxury car. Prior to this I had a 2002 Nissan Altima. It was a solid car but it can't compare with the Genesis. The Genesis has many luxury & tech amenities. The doors and seats have a solid & weighty feel to it. It also has a surprisingly smooth & quiet ride feel. I have ridden in Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Acura, Volvo, and Infiniti. Granted, the Genesis doesn't have the same stiff handling and agility as the European cars but the ride quality feels on par with the Japanese cars such as my friend's Lexus LS430. I don't have extensive luxury car experience, but I do know that my 3.6L tech package has all the bells and whistles for less than $38K and this is hard to beat.
