The “Avengers of Automotive design” join forces!

I was actually torn between the Kia Stinger & the Genesis G70, but was won over by the styling & concierge service. Since in my mid-40s (believe it or not, it’s my very first new car) I am more into comfort & luxury than sportiness & the 0-60;1/4 mile are =. Besides, what other luxury brand offers such an extensive basic/Powertrain warranty?(on twin turbos mind you) Answer:NOBODY! I had to have the AWD & wide sunroof (last 2 cars ‘01 Audi TT Quattro conv. & ‘05 BMW 645Ci conv.) & I already added a real Carbon fiber spoiler! I opted for the extended warranty that covers bumper to bumper for 10 years 100,000 miles for an extra $3,500. After that, l plan to make it a race car with all the mods available,& it just came out,imagine how many there will be 10 years from now! like only 330 miles on it so I’m babying it,can’t wait to really drive it, like my lead-footed,speeding-ticket-getting-self! “Avengers” are Peter Schreyer,former head of design for Audi. He brought on Luc Doncherwolke, former head of design of Lamborghini & Bentley as Chief of design for Genesis. Also there’s Bozhena Lalova, who did Mercedes E-class & S-class interiors as head of Genesis color & trim (interior). Last, but not least, Albert Biermen, chief engineer that made BMW, the ultimate driving machine, joined the team. It’s no wonder why I was drawn to this car, I have exquisite taste! I always tend to gravitate towards the highest quality (& usually most expensive, but not in this case).

All around winner

All around great car...Great value -in the current setting, you can get a Base 3.3 AWD 15K mike lease in the mid $500’s with under $1000 out of pocket. I suspect you could negotiate a sub $40k sales price too (before taxes, fees, etc.)...Cost aside, it is very well equipped, even the 3.3 base, and this car is fast! Also a head turner, particularly in Havana Red...What would I change? Wider front seats, add a bit of back seat space (rarely used in my case), and better gas mileage. Keep in mind when comparing trunk size, this car does not have run flats, so the spare is what takes up much of any difference. After years of loud and poor performing run flats, it is worth the smaller trunk.

My Genesis G70 is everything that I'd hoped for

The G70 is a great combination of performance, styling, and bang for your buck. It took me a while to track down the exact one that I wanted but it was well worth the wait.

Surprisingly good dealer experience

I have owned 2 Lincoln's, 2 BMW's and 7 Cadillac's and the Genesis experience is right up there with the best. Value for money with high level of features blows BMW out of the water.

Best performance

This is my second Genesis that I owned. Specially G70 has great handling and performance. If you are in the market for a luxury performance car, you much check this one out before buying BMW or Audi.

Not reliable at all

I really wanted to like my brand new Genesis G70, but mine came with several issues: (1)it made a horrible clunking noise when making left turns, and the whole car would vibrate, (2)the driver seat window made clicking sounds, as if the glass had too much pressure against it every time it went up/down, and (3)when driving on bumpy roads, first, music on my iphone would randomly turn on without touching anything; then when I turned the music off, the radio would automatically turn on. It took 3 months and 3 different service centers to finally discover what was causing the clunking noise - faulty engine mounts! Needless to say, I no longer trust my car and Hyundai, as well. Had I known my brand new “luxury” sedan was going to come with all these defects, I wouldn’t have dished out all that money and bought a different car instead, not a Hyundai or Genesis, that’s for sure. Just a word of caution.
