Best car I've ever owned

By far, this is the most comfortable, easy driving, quiet car I've ever owned. Hyundai was not even on my radar when I acquired this vehicle, but it is by far better to me than Lexus. I have only ever owned Toyota, so I was hesitant to purchase this vehicle. I purchased the extended warranty as a result. The seats fit me perfectly, and the heating part of the seats is divine. I will often just drive with it on instead of the heater (and sometimes in the summer with the AC on since it feels so good on my back). I am also blown away by the stereo quality. That, combined with the very little road noise, makes for such a pleasant driving experience that I'm not fatigued after a several hour road trip. What I don't like about this vehicle is it does not show the outside temperature continuously, it drips water into the trunk when the lid is raised in a rain, and the resale value is less than I would expect, say from a Lexus. However, the initial price is less also. I plan to drive the wheels off this car. The paint quality is excellent with some beautiful, not boring colors,( mine is Parisian Grey with a Saddle interior) the leather soft and high quality, the cruise control doesn't upshift on a grade like the Toyotas do, the transmission is excellent, LOTS of power for passing. It is effortless to drive.

A tweak to eliminate the throttle lag

For those of you who are bothered by the throttle lag, there's a tweak that completely eliminates it, at the cost of city mpg. Open the air box (where the engine air filter lives). Take out the filter and secure the cover up and out of the way. At the bottom of the airbox is a small flapper valve, held shut by a small magnet. Simply remove this magnet (or reverse the magnet it it's holder). Put the filter back in and that's it, you're done. Go enjoy a lag-free throttle. You paid for 333 horses, use 'em. What's the magnet do? At low throttle settings (highway cruise and around town, low-acceleration scenarios), the magnet holds the flapper closed and forces the engine to draw air through a lengthy pipe that starts at the grill. Basically, restricting the amount of air available to the engine. This is how Hyundai can claim higher MPG in the EPA test cycle. I don't drive like the EPA does, so I removed the restriction and pay the price with lower city MPG, but I get an actual 333 horsepower car in return. Enjoy!

BEST SO FAR

I purchased this car new in 2014. I traded in a Chevy Tahoe. I was taking a chance going from the comfort of my Tahoe to a Hyundai. In the 3 years that I have owned this vehicle, I have had no problems what so ever. Its awesome on the highway. I have to be careful because everything is so smooth and quiet that if I am not careful I catch myself going 90 plus. And that is with barely touching the accelerator. It has way more power than the V-8 Tahoe. The gas mileage on the highway is great. I got over 27 MPG on my last trip. In town its around 20 to 23. I change the oil myself cause I do not trust strange people working on my car. I change the oil every 4000 to 4500 miles with Mobile 1 and it still runs like new. I have 27,000 miles on it and do not anticipate any mechanical issues. I am very satisfied with my Genesis. I would buy another one but since they branched off to a luxury brand I cannot afford the price. The car still looks great and everything is functioning as it is supposed to.

Just purchased the car, used, with 27K miles. Have driven about 1500 miles so far. Positives: I do like the looks and the way the Genesis drives - quiet and comfortable, plenty of power. Complaints: Interior pieces break off - AC vent direction knobs came loose and blew out; Gas mileage takes a dive (avg 14) if you accelerate much. You have to be real careful with the acceleration to reach the 18 MPG city advertised low end; I have not driven car long enough to judge the reliability, so gave it a 3 for now, especially since some little plastic interior pieces have broken already.
A Nice Ride

Great value. 60,000 mile warranty on transmission paid off. At 58,750, mine needed to be replaced. I was second owner. Local Hyundai dealer took care of it. No charge. Have had issues with electric windows, occasionally.
