UPDATE 2016 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 (27K miles) - after nearly 6 years with this car it's proven to be a reliable car that seems to keep getting better. It's my wife's daily driver now that I've been through a 018 G90 and just picked up a 2021 G80 3.5T Prestige. Genesis reminds me of Infinity and Lexus who over-engineered their early entries. Why did I go back to an 80 after owning a 90 Ultimate 5.0? Great value, the new M platform and see above! The car is still tight, a pleasure to drive and yes, people still ask if it's a Bentley!

I took delivery of my new 2016 Genesis just three days ago so this is more about first impressions rather than a full review. Mine is the 3.8 with the Ultimate package, all the toys. The Genesis is a wonderful package of technology, safety, and quality wrapped in an easy to adjust package. The car drives and handles perfectly. The technology and safety features are what drew me to consider a Genesis. I came from a hybrid Toyota Avalon Limited that got great gas mileage, but was well behind the curve as far as technology and safety. Toyota does hybrid well, but I wanted features such as the dynamic cruise control, automatic emergency breaking, lane keeping assist, and so on. The Genesis delivers these, they work exactly as advertised and exude confidence when driving. The 9.2 inch screen for the nav system is as good as any I have seen on any car. I love the heads up display. The Lexicon sound system is far better than any I have heard. The only suggestion I could offer is to add a little more up-down range to the front power seats to make my wife a little happier.

Owned the car since Oct. 15 (you said the 16 and 15 were alike) and very pleased with the purchase. Outstanding value when compared to C class Mercedes, 3 or 5 series Beemer, or the aging Lexus. Sold an Avalon which had given us superb service but the dealer service was deteriorating and I think the new Avalons are homely. The Genesis has excellent acceleration from 55-60 to 80 to get around on 2 lane roads, handling is good/adequate for a larger car and highway comfort approaches sitting in my living room. I think the trunk is a bit small and the automatic trunk opening doesn't always perform well. Gas mileage improved about 1mpg when broken in but you sure wouldn't buy it for economy although compared to the Infiniti and Maxima, you use regular gas vs. premium - big savings.

bought the car for my wife 18 months ago and she tells me often how much she loves the car and how good the car makes her feel. We love this car. So quiet in the cab all around performance is awesome. nothing bad to say other then the fuel mileage could be a little better. Around town about 14mpg maybe even less.

Excellent car. 3.8 provides great acceleration. Transmission is smooth. Very quiet ride. Interior amazing and safety tech is excellent. Nit picking only real issues are the lack of a remote start on key fob (can pay for Bluelink service and use smartphone for remote start function) and the auto high beams need to be reset with each start up.
