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....!!!

I enjoy the smooth ride and power of the car. We just got back from a family road trip. So far, we have no issue with the engine. However, we had to replace the second time the strips on top of the car from the outside. They don't seem to last long. The paint was peeling off. The first time, it was still in the warranty, but the second time, it was not. I think they used a cheaper paint for this part. That's my only disappointment about this car. Everything else is perfect. We have had this car since 2016. Surprisingly, the engine still runs very quietly. Sometimes, I couldn't tell if it was on or off. Today is Jan 5, 2025. I have had this car for almost 10 years. The Genesis is running as quietly as a mouse. The ride is smooth, and the engine is nearly silent. Performance-wise, I have no complaints. However, Genesis should improve the exterior, particularly the paint, which has started to chip or fade in recent years. The interior still holds up well.

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!
