I Chose the Genesis Over BMW and Audi

I could have bought anything, and after test driving the Genesis, I fell in love with the car! For the price, it offers everything BMW and Audi offer BUT oil changes are $80 instead of $300. Maintenance is affordable. It has 311 HP, handles like the BMW, and is wonderful to look at. Interior wise, it couldn’t offer more, from heated and air conditioned front seats, to a panoramic sunroof, and every safety feature imaginable. It also has a Lexicon sound system, only found otherwise in a Rolls Royce. America, wake up and buy this car! It’s everything you wanted in a BMW and Audi, but affordable to buy and maintain. Every time I drive it I can’t believe what a wonderful car it is.

Wonderful Car, Except...

My 2016 Genesis has 60,000 miles, and it replaced a 2015 Genesis with 25,000 miles, so I can speak to long-term ownership. This is a very comfortable car, with excellent driving manners, comfort, and performance; all at a great value. The number of standard features is impressive, and is how all luxury cars should be. I looked into a Lexus, before buying my Genesis, and couldn't believe all the expensive items that were not standard. Furthermore, the cost of maintenance is very reasonable, even lower than my wife's Honda. While it hasn't been needed, the exceptional warranty offers peace of mind. Although it may seem minor to some, my major complaint regarding this car is the persistent squeaks, creaks, and rattles... mostly coming from the panoramic sunroof, but also from the dash area. They occur mostly in cold weather, but for me they ruin what is otherwise an exceptionally quiet and comfortable car. The dealer has "lubricated" the sunroof, but this is only a temporary fix. If it weren't for this, it would be a 5-star review. Lastly, having been hit from the rear by a dump truck (totaled my 2015), I can speak to this car having excellent crash worthiness... I had zero injuries, not even soreness.

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.

The Genesis runs smooth and quiet and a pleasure to drive. Definitely worth the money. However, the bells and whistles takes getting used to because the navigation is tricky , the side outside mirrors takes time to get used to, the dash board controls needs improvements. Before leaving the dealership you need a good lesson on learning the electronics.

Being an avid car owner, this being my 26th vehicle, I can say it beats all of the others by a very wide margin. I have owned just about every make on the market and Hyundai doesn't disappoint at all. This car punches way above its weight class at a fraction of the price. Stylish, roomy, quiet, comfortable, and I still get 24+ mpg's average out of a large sedan. This Genesis has all of the bells and whistles that many other manufacturers have only a few of. If you're looking for an amazing car that can save you THOUSANDS of dollars, then check out a Genesis today!
