Lots of miles on a 2015 Tech Pacakged Genesis

Drives very well and accelerates. The 3.8 is plenty powerful. The ride is quiet and a nice blend or sporty and cushy. I've had three problems. 1 Visibility: at 6 ft 3 in the A beams are too thick and can easily obstruct vision at corners from my height. 2. The driver seat cushion deteriorated (I'm 225 lbs?) and was replaced on warranty. Lastly the car had a smokey smell that lasted 90 days at the outset. Beside tires and oil and filters...I've spent virtually nothing for maintenance and am approaching 65K miles. I leased enriched to 25K mi per yr. and so will be turning it back in or buying it a $19.6K residual which seems to be a little pricey for the 75K miles it will have. Still, it has been an excellent value and I'd recommend it to others especially tall folks as it offers just a little more room than other sedans which makes a big difference. I generally agree that the Hyundai/Genesis Dealer network is still weak and holds the brand back some.

remote start issues

To me a $53,000 car should have a key fob with a remote start button on it. The least expensive cars have it and you are forced to buy the blue tooth option to be able to start the car remotely. I new this when i leased the car and was told how great it was and that's my complaint. I have two homes one in the city and one in the country in Pennslyvania. If you are in an area that does not have cell service, your out of luck. That's not good on those cold Pa mornings and evenings. I had just got the car and bragged how great it was to our friends on our way to dinner but remotlely starting the car so it would be warmed up didnt happen and rather imbarrassing to say the least. Also in an office building and they don't provide wifi you out of luck.Thirdly if you don't use it within a few days you must reprogram the system all over again.My 2013 Lincoln MKZ I was able to go to the window on both homes press the remote start button on the key fob and it would start right up and be nice and warm or cooled in just a few minutes. Very poorly thought out by Genesis And I Know for sure I wont lease another Genesis

I have been given many, many compliments on my Genesis. The beauty, the ride, you name it. This vehicle should be listed as a luxury sedan because it's not just any sedan. The drive is so relaxing while enjoying it's beautiful interior, the Genesis takes it to a whole new level. I'm looking forward to my second Genesis. Two thumbs up for the Genesis!!

This car has everything you would want in a large, luxury car. Still learning all the great bells and whistles.
