I’m an old school rwd v8 guy. Owned them all, mbz, bmw, Lexus, infinity, and every domestic. This thing is nuts! Best, most powerful and smoothest v8 was the infinity 4.5. Until now. Handles 85% like bmw. Solid 85% of a Benz. Reliable 110% of infinity, lexus. Crushes Chrysler, Ford, and Gm for build quality and reliability. Audi’s are nose heavy rwd, no comparison. Bit of a jarring ride at times, they haven’t had 100 years of experience to perfect that like the Germans.Steering feel a bit numb too, so are the Germans now. But Good Lord! Get the V8! That’s where the put all the R/D money. Great Job! I’ve always told people that asked me why I’m driving the e39 540i, 400e mbnz, w124. 300cewhy I like those cars so much.... it’s about how they feel and drive , not the damn badge. I’ll leave the Hyundai badges on my 2011 4.6, and save the 3k a year for repairs and maintenance. Try one, you’ll love it!

My only disappointment in the car is that all of the electrical components have failed. I cannot hook up my iPod it's very difficult to use the iPod in the car while driving when you can't see what's next. I drive a lot and use a smartphone it would be great to have the ability to keep my phone charging while driving. I have received many compliments on the cars Design This had been a wonderful car for us. We purchased it as a used car and it has been great.I find the acceleration powerful and had to adjust from our Lexus 6 (350) cylinder car. My husband says the head room in the Genesis is far more comfortable then our Lexus 350. I wanted this size car as I drive freeways frequently and like the safety record. The head rests are comfortably located, without touching the rear of driver's head. Many other cars we found the headrests to be intrusive and the only way to remedy the distance from head rest to driver was to incline seat, and we like to sit upright when driving. The styling of the car is beautiful and I have received many compliments. My family members have told me what an impressive car the Genesis is, with a great ride and extremely comfortable rear seating and leg room.

I used to say that I would only ever buy a BMW but when I drove this car, I was convinced otherwise. I'll never sell my manual trans 735, it's a classic, but this thing has 'it'. If you don't care about snob appeal, this is the car to buy, hands down. Plenty of power, interior comfort, a great 'long drive' car. For me the build quality surpasses current model BMWs and feels much better made. Purchased a CPO with 45K miles and have put 40K miles this year and have yet to be disappointed.
Still In Love After One Year.

Bought Genesis in Dec. '10 after seeing it at L.A. Auto Show - couldn't believe price for features and design. Just reached 10K. Trips from L.A. to the Bay Area are effortless - "right now" power to pass while riding in total lap of luxury - awesome! Hold speeds to 75 and I get 29 mpg vs. EPA est of 26. Was hesitant about buying a Hyundai - now have no regrets though dealerships aren't at level of Lexus or Benz. Only minor complaints are somewhat jittery ride around town (even small bumps are felt) and rather short front seat cushions. Features list on V-8 is extensive - I find something new every time I read the manual. Passengers can't believe it's a Hyundai and neither can I!
Best bank for the buck

This car blows away the competition. I've had my share of 5-series BMWs, an Inifiniti and a Lexus. None of these compares to the Genesis' comfort, refinement, engine response, interior elegance, ride quality and - especially - price. If you can get over the fact that you're driving a Hyundai, you'll find that no car this side of a Mercedes 5-series, BMW 7-series or a LS 460 can compare with it.
