Just an update as I I am coming up on 3 years. Still my favorite car ever. Not one problem. I love driving this thing. Original review: I moved to a Genesis after owning Infiniti. I think the Genesis is a better car than the Infiniti in just about every way, including the dealership experience, all at thousands of dollars less in cost. I managed to get my Signature edition for the price of a base model. Great ride, smooth transmission, plenty of power in the v6, very quiet, lots of headroom and legroom. The only nits I can pick are that the brakes are rather soft and need to be applied earlier, and the automatic windshield wiper goes way too fast for the amount of rain. Other than that I am simply loving this car. Get lots of looks and questions about what it is, especially since I changed out the Hyundai flying H badge on the trunk for a KDM Genesis wings logo in back.

comfortable urban car with plenty of trunk space for 4 golf bags. Navigation software is too difficult to use. Climate control is great. Too many control buttons in front panel to use while driving. Front plastic bumper is easily damaged from curb and too expensive to replace.

Best car I've ever driven

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!

Why Not Buy Use...!!!

Originally looking for NEW Genesis G80 with 3.3 Sport Package for about $58,000.00. Traveling for 5-6 months out of the year I could not justify having the vehicle sit idle. The dealer show me a Gray 2016, CPO Ultimate package, 3.8L, 27,000 miles, with the exact options as the 2019 for about 60% less. GREAT DEAL now sitting in my garage....!!!

Genesis of Genesis

Have leased the car for about a month and driven it only about 500 miles. It is a big sedan, on the style of an S class or a 7 series, more than a sporty car. It is very comfortable and I really like the climate control and the optional seats with the cushion extender. The seating position seems low, having driven an SUV for the last 8 years. The belt line for the window ledges is high, like most modern cars. Acceleration and braking are excellent, even though this is the 6, not the 8. The suspension is very comfortable and more supple than I expected with the 45 series tires. The Signature package is a must, the sunroof and blind spot monitors make it a luxury car. I also got the tech package, but I'm not sure the leather upgrade and auto braking are worth it. Fit and finish is impeccable. I would be happier if it were somewhat smaller for maneuvering in the city. Definitely worth every penny. I can't comment on service, durability or such, because it's brand new.
