Best luxury automobile for the money.

All the bells and whistles, well made, low cost, great warranty. Traded in 04 Lexus LS 430. I have owned many new cars, but this one has it all.

Luxury Sport car

After driving many cars in this price range and above, the G80 was the most fun to drive and the most comfortable.

Excellent luxury for the price.

The features like heads-up display and GPS are a fews of the many features found on cars thousands of dollars more. Lots of interior space and I?d strongly recommend.

Awesome Vehicle

We took delivery of a 2018 Genesis Sport last week. After much research the Genesis G80 met all of our needs on paper. A thousand miles later, it has greatly exceeded our expectations and we are delighted with our choice.

Comfort and Class

The Genesis G80 feels like it belongs on the road. Handling not too loose or too tight. Smooth and comfortable on long drives. Only disappointment is heater takes too long to kick in when temp is below freezing. Butt heaters and remote start help! Mileage is decent if you treat it right.

All Luxury No Snobbery

I traded my Cadillac CTS4 for the G80. This car has all the features of the CTS plus more. Heated and cooled front and rear seats and steering wheel are better. The handling is wonderful. It freaked me out a little when the computer aided steering kicked in. It started to take a curve before I did! Standard features were extra on the Cadillac like front crash alert, lane departure and pedestrian alert. The interior is very nice and comfortable. It has the look of a Bentley. That might be because the head designer used to work for them. And before you assume I work for them, I do not. The only thing I can't do with the G80 is hear my text messages. However, I have put the bug in Genesis' ear to add that!

G80 competes with the big boys from Germany

I was skeptical about purchasing a Korean luxury car advertised to compete with the BMW 5 Series. Having owned 2 prior 5 Series, and actually still have them, I thought it was time for a change and the Genesis G80 5.0 fit the bill. I am a car enthusiast and very picky with my vehicles, it's hard to find anything wrong with this car. Every detail has been thought out and the result is a fantastic vehicle. I am truly impressed.

Still new review

My new Genesis is probably one of the most comfortable cars I have owned. It's still new so I can't give it an honest reliability score. So far so good. I Love the looks of the car. Numerous people have commented and asked me about it. All positive. The car is the G80 sport with the 3.3 BiTurbo. Preformance is good but it's not a sports car. It drives more like an American car vs a German sport sedan. Steering is slower and less responsive than the 2015 MB C400 I had but this is a noticibly heavier and bigger car. If you want tons of features, comfort and styling check it out.

Best bang for the buck luxury brand

This is the finest product with the best price point one can own. I absolute love the ride, handling, comfort, quality and value for the dollar that this car offers. And did I mention it?s loaded with the latest safety technology, super quiet, has a 10 year power train warranty? This car rides like s dream!
