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.

Luxurious

Owner since February 2016. Absolutely not problems. Car is a definite head Turner. Mileage is 23 mpg overall. Not bad. Car uses regular gas. It is a solid and heavy luxury vehicle. Safety is number one. It has the excellent road feel. The I interior is first class-real wood dash and no plastic, only metal. The leather is superior quality. The sunroof is the entire roof! Awesome! 300 horsepower pins you to your seat and sounds so good. This car has everything. Ever the underside is completely covered with what looks like a solid wall to wall carpet for super sound and aerodynamics characteristics. Incredible! This car should probably cost twice what I paid for it! Wow! Is all I can say about this car. Edmunds saved me several thousand off the sticker price, too.

Gennis G90 bottoms out

I had two Equus before buying the G90 5.0. The G90 is a great car, nice appearance but terrible ride. IT BOTTOMS OUT with nothing in the trunk with or without someone in the back seat. I take business clients out in this car and they all think it is a fantastic car until we hit the first bump. I WILL NOT PURCHASE another one for that very reason. I have brought this to the attention of the dealer and they confirmed they have had other complaints and promised to contact Hyundai with NO RESULT!

Terrific value for money

This is a really comfortable car with great electronics. I bought the car with a Tech Package since until the 2018 models, the Ultimate package does not have Android Auto and that was a must-have for me. And it makes all the difference in the world. The pickup and handling is nowhere near an Audi A6, but once it's cruising, there is no difference. The handling on the Audi is sporty, but I actually prefer the handling on the Genesis. It's a lot smoother and feels more luxurious. The ride is very quiet. The seats are comfortable. Adaptive Cruise Control takes some getting used to, but it's great once you do. Great warranty. About the only things I'd say are cons are fuel economy (most likely because the car is so heavy) and weird packaging of options. No steering wheel and back seat heating except for the AWD model. 360 deg camera only in European models. About the only thing I really dislike is that you have to buy a $200 year Blue Link subscription to remote heat the car. There is absolutely no reason why this can't be done technically through direct Wifi connection. Or through the remote.
