Reliable Luxury & Class

Bought a 2019 G90 Ultimate V8, and absolutely LOVE this car! Power, AWD, Class, and Amazing Comfort! This car has just about every option you can think of as standard equipment. Makes long road trips seem easy and coddles you is serene comfort the whole way there. So far have 40K miles with no issues of any kind whatsoever!! Done my research and was considering the BMW & Mercedes, but walked away from those due to reliability and ownership cost issues. Compared the G90 to the Lexus LS460 & LS500, and honestly liked the car better due to the comfort and quiet, not to mention the cost savings! Everything i read is that this engine is one of the most reliable ones out there and so far everything on car is just like it was the day I bought it, so I would highly recommend this car to anyone!

Incredible ride, comfort and style

Comfort was the prime element for my wife due to prior orthopedic surgeries and had become uncomfortable even in our Acuras. We have had 3 long road trips in this G90 and you do not get beat up, stiff, and tired, even after long 10 hour days on the road. LOVE this car, well appointed, organized and conveniences, some of which I am just discovering after many months.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST

This is my first Genesis and I am pleased 100 percent. The car is loaded with just about everything that you could possibly want in a car and turns heads everywhere you go. Best value in its class and rides like a smooth sail. I own a Hyundai sonata and I love it too but I think the mold was broken when they made the G90, the "granddaddy" of the Hyundai family. I think I've found my lifetime car! In love for sure

Prior owner of a Genesis. Upgrade

Not crazy about the grill on this model but love the amenities and interior. Smooth ride but could have more sound reduction from outside for the price

Great car!

I have only owned this car 2 weeks, but very impressed to date. Very comfortable, quiet, lots of gadgets. My only concern is it came with a front license plate holder and my state doesn't require a front plate. I removed it and it left 4 holes in the grille that I will have to fill in somehow.

Finest Luxury Sedan in the world that no one knows

This is the finest luxury sedan in the world that nobody knows about. This is because Genesis totally botched the product launch of this vehicle and all the marketing dollars go now only to SUV's and not sedans. I ordered my 2019 5.0 Ultimate model in July of 2018, and it took 7 months to arrive. It didn't come in until the end of January 2019 in the color and configuration I wanted. That being said, my insurance company tells me this is the 24th car I've insured in 40 years of driving, but it most assuredly is the best by far. All I can tell you is everything is just........Right. Car and Driver calls it the "zen catacomb" and I would totally agree with this description. It is very quiet and spacious. The car only has a few nitpick items, and none of these should stop you from buying the car. The turning radius is huge, but this is expected due to the long wheelbase and All Wheel Drive (AWD), but it's tolerable. The dashboard is non-symmetrical and sort of slopes down and falls off to the right, and that really takes some getting used to if you're expecting symmetrical balance and flat and level dashboards. Like many imports, the selfish designers leave no place to hang a front license plate, so the dealer will set you up with this plastic flap tongue thing that hangs from your grille, and looks fairly ugly and out of place. It's also pretty hard to do a quick sound system volume change using volume control on the steering wheel without triggering it to go full mute - it's a switch design issue. Lastly, the car is about an inch and a half too low. I know letting air under the car is a bad thing and affects mileage, but in the real world there are parking garage ramps and driveways with 30 and 40 degree slopes out there and it's hard to navigate these without grinding the chin skirt off. The new Chevy Corvette has a switch you can hit which raises the nose of the vehicle when going up sharp inclines like this at slow seed, and the G90 needs this feature too. On the upside, it's a fabulous luxury car and there are no options with whatever model you pick, and everything is included. If you get the AWD 5.0 engine Ultimate model, the back seat has enough controls and screens to track and shoot down incoming MIG's. It is a fabulous car. This car is a category killer, and you'll be beating the best that Mercedes and Audi offer in the $120K range, but only paying $76K. Fantastic value.

great ride

The car is amazing. I was just disappointed it didn't come with mats. I thought for the price that Elliot Bay would have purchased mats before it put it up for sale.
