Should be a great car, if I ever figure it out.

I was happily putt-putting around town in my Kia Soul Bae, when at age 70 I decided it was the time in my life for a fancy car. I thought the Genesis sedan was beautiful....so I tried the three year lease. Buyers remorse: Yes! For me, it is simply too much to learn. The manual might not fit into the Library of Congress. For instance there is a very thick "quick guide" to the navigation system that supposedly simplifies a "Gone With the Wind" full size navigation system guide. The day to day operation of the car presents some challenges as well. Getting in and out is a struggle...and I'm a short 5'5". The driver side mirror doesn't re-adjust properly after you reverse it out of the driveway. This is an intermittent problem, but more often than not You have to manually re-set it up to its proper position. Cracking the door open in order to turn off the engine without wasting battery is an odd procedure as well. On the plus side, the lane departure warning and other safety features are a delight, as is the cruise control. The stop and hold and ECO controls are wonderful too, but you have to re-set them every time you start the car. Stuff like the automatic trunk opening are silly and unnecessary. If you go around the back of the parked vehicle with the keys in your pocket it pops open whether you want it to or not. Bottom line, the Genesis is a wonderful vehicle, but for me it is mentally exhausting to operate. Love the Hyundai and Kia brands.....so when this lease is mercifully over...maybe I'll go back to the Kia Soul....with all the trimmings.

Total misrepresentation of features

Buyer beware! I received a brand new, fully loaded 2016 Genesis with every possible feature -- I purchased 48 months (my term of my lease) the "BlueLink package. I received "updates and download" information in my e-mail and my car is trying to "automatically sync and download updates and apps". The navigation system that is in the Genesis does not allow this update and download App feature as indicated when I received the auto. The screen shows a place to "download" and "Update" - instructions sent to "Sync" to my android phone -- yet it is not possible. Dealership said they are "working on it" and they hope to have an answer "soon". I am looking to see if there is a class action suit that will be involving the 2016 Genesis. It's a beautiful car, lots of features - everyone loves it until they get in and hear the recording "your updates failed, would you like to try again?" Just be careful! I believe this is a liability hazard and don't trust the "safety features" on the car as a result of this failure. Not good for a $50K plus car!!
