Caution!

After hitting road debris while 50+ miles from home and then hearing disturbing noises while driving, local dealer said ok to bring car in. After more than a 30 minute wait at the dealership, was told they could not look at car that day so I left. Then decided to register a complaint about inconsistent message. After 10 minute+ plus wait, only management available was the controller. I was not nice but really don't think hanging up on a customer is a good idea. Called dealer from whom we bought car and was told they could not look at car for a week. Really glad we spent all that money on the maintenance package! Now feel reluctant to take road trips because can not depend on company to support car in emergency situations. Will never purchase Hyundai again and will discourage anyone else for the same reason.

Genesis delivers excellent drivability

A fine performer and very reliable. Many exceptional features - e.g. auto hold, adaptive cruise, top notch audio (Lexicon), and lane departure warning. Navigation operation is difficult and expensive to update. A car that has as many good features as this one should also have included blind side and cross traffic sensors.

Incredible amount of technology and power

The 2012 Hyundai Genesis has an amazing array of technology that many other cars did not start offering until 2018. In 2021 the idea of Lane Departure Warning and Adaptive Speed control is normal in many vehicle. The Tau 5.0 Liter engine purrs like an angry cat and accelerates the car from zero to sixty in under 5 seconds. The massive disc breaks do an amazing job of stopping the two tons of fun. My 2012 Genesis 5.0 has 106k miles on it and everything works just like new. The only repair has been to the driver seat lower cover which I had recently replaced with a new skin.
