Used 2012 Hyundai Genesis Consumer Reviews

Nice Car for the Money

I can honestly say I'm glad I stopped at the dealership to test drive this car. I test drove the Azera, but once you're in a Genesis, there is no going back. Besides being dead silent on the hwy, it has an amazing stereo (I have the tech package), and plenty of other features that make this car a joy to drive. The cooled seats are a must in the summer, and ride is very smooth and comfortable. The tech is a little behind, but if you plug in your iPod or put a CD in, you will not hear a better sound in any other vehicle on the road. I would stick with the 3.6. It is plenty fast, and the super smooth transmission doesn't shift quickly enough to significantly improve your 0-60 time.

Great Car - Has Aged Into A Very Reliable Car

Update to my previous review that follows - my 2012 Genesis continues to run rock solid reliable at 73,000 miles and 5+ years - I am definitely happy with this car - a keeper. This is an update review after owning my Genesis for almost five years. Initially quality issues frustrated me and they heavily influenced my initial reviews / perceptions - my reviews were not flattering - I pretty much said I would NEVER buy another one. Issues were minor but frustrating. A body squeak / pop took a year plus and multiple trips to my Hyundai dealer to find and fix. Well, now all that is behind us - the car is now reliable and has been a great car for the last several years! It is by far my favorite road car - powerful with fast acceleration, stable at high speeds, minimal road noise, tracks like it is on rails, great sound system, 30+ mpg gas mileage, wonderfully comfortable seats. Only thing missing is new technology such as blind side monitoring which was new technology not available when I purchased it. I now like my Genesis better than any new car I am aware of and as long as it stays reliable, I plan to keep it. It still looks like new inside and out and drives like new. I like the styling better than new cars. So why not? Well, maybe that new Equs / G90 will eventually tempt me away from my wonderful Genesis?

Ain't your Father's Genesis

I was a dye hard in the wool Lincoln Town Car Fan, my last couple being a 2004 & 2010. Then they sent us searching elsewhere by discontinuing the Town Car. I was forced to shop elsewhere. It was my 13 year old son who introduced me to the Genesis. A single test drive in a 2012 Genesis 4.6 sedan and half way through I was asking if they had 2! My banker called it the corvette killer! I've actually had a vette, and that's a whole different world - let alone car. That is in no way a slight to my Genny! She is a beast, both a technology wizard, but with the old fashioned gumption to back it up!

Excellent automobile for the price

My First Genesis Sedan

This model was significantly upgraded in 2015. I have very much enjoyed this car except on long rides. I can really feel the bumps in the freeway. I'm very happy with the controls including the stereo. I like the way it's laid out. Vehicle performance has been great. Lots of power and fine steering. Back up camera is great. Warning sensors are great. Good all around car. Update- I ended up selling the car prematurely, after only three years, due to the lack of smoothness while driving. I believe this was fixed in their 2015 and later models.
