I sold my supercharged Audi A6 to buy this Genesis. While I think the car has plenty power for daily driving, I feel like this car really should have a turbo or supercharger for more low end torque like the Audi. I know it would add more cost, but at least make it an available engine choice. Thats the only thing I can really think of as a "con" for me. The rest of the car is amazing. Quiet, smooth, comfortable, and very attractive. I also like that the interior room it affords a family of four, much more than the German rivals. IMO, this car is the perfect blend between Audi, BMW and Lexus. It looks European, but its quiet and smooth like a Lexus. So far I am thrilled will the purchase, first time in a long time that I don't have buyers remorse:)

Watch out for Hyundia!

If you like Hyundia cars, beware of their practice of not pointing out how some of the features work. If you want remote start, understand that the only way to get it is through their 'Bluelink System". When you buy the car they give you 90 days of Bluelink for free. After that it cost over $300.00 a year to keep all of the functions active. There is the basic Bluelink connection, which reports on car status and tells Hyundia if the car is in an accident. Next there is your remote start capabilities and a couple of other functions you can do. Last there is the voice active navigation system. If you want the remote capabilities you pay $99.00 plus tax per year and if you want it to work then you have to pay another $99.00 plus tax per year for the basic package. The turn by turn voice activated navigation adds another $81.00 plus tax per year. I bought my Genesis in October and in November I was notified that there is an update to the on-board navigation system for $219.00 plus tax. I highly recommend that you read all of the fine print before you purchase any Hyundia.

I've had over 30 cars since 1965, many brands, many models. In 1990, I test drove the Infinity Q45, I was so impressed with the Q45, I traded in my 1988 Cadillac Seville. Unfortunately 1990 was first and last year Infinity made that model with that horsepower. I have leased numerous cars since then, and have never enjoyed a car as much as that Q45, until I test drove the 2016 Hyundai Genenis Sedan. This Hyundai Genenis surpassed the Q45 I truly enjoyed, and delivers fuel economy that is unbelievable, and it runs on regular gas! The 500 series BMW is close to the comfort level of my Genenis, but for $20,000 more, its no contest. Hyundai is the definite winner in every category.

AWD Genesis Ultimate

I am a third time Hyundai owner (2012 Genesis 4.6, 2014 Equus Ultimate) and now 2016 AWD Genesis Ultimate. First Genesis was great, no issues, put 80k miles on it, Equus had some issues so traded in for the Genesis Ultimate. Bought white with black interior, windows tinted, car really looks hot. For the price after discounts, a compatible BMW 535 was $20k more, Lexus GS350 was $10k more; overall the Genesis has more features and drives similar to the others. Love the fact we may have CarPlay added and all of the toys are top notch. Starting car with the Apple Watch is fun and now you can turn off car as well with the app. Treated by dealership very well and they have always had nice loaners for me. Equus was a lot of fun, kids loved the TVs in back and the reclining sets, but mostly I am on the road for business so I find the drivability of the Genesis much sportier.
