Re-think Hyundai

This car is not what you would expect from the same company that makes the Enlantra that always seem to be incapable of keeping up on the highway. From the styling, to the handling, the the abundance of power available at the flick of your right foot, this car makes you realize you're not driving just a Hyundai, you're driving a proper luxury sports car.

Worst car I have ever driven in snow.

Comfortable car. Handles well on dry roads. Is totally miserable on snow and not so good on wet roads. Had a major repair of the brake system. Had to replace the hydraulic module ABS controller, which was abysmally expensive.

Powerful V8 and rear wheel drive!

I?ve been really impressed with this car. The styling is really nice (I?ve been asked several times if it was a Mercedes)... it?s a really dark navy blue almost black with limo tint on the back 3 windows that?s loaded to the hilt. We also have a 2007 Azera with the 3.8 and this Genisis with the 4.6 gets just as good mileage at average 22 - 24 mpg all around driving with an average of 28 on the hwy with the cruise set at 80. The car handles very well and is very quit. The stereo w/17 speakers is 2nd to none. Did I mention a powerful V8 w/rear wheel drive. Mines just hitting 100,000 miles and is almost like new. It will cruise at 130 without breaking a sweat and plenty of pedal left to go. The only thing on the whole car I don?t like is the progressive cruise control, there should be a way to turn it off, you can adjust the distance but it?s still not right for a spirited driver. The keyless entry and ignition has worked seamlessly... this car is a sleeper without a doubt. Did I mention a powerful V8 w/rear wheel drive.

I loved my Hyundai Genesis

Comparable to a 100k car without the hefty price tag. I just loved my car. I had the car for 4 years and never had a mechanical problem.

Best Vehicle I Have Ever Owned

The 4.6L V8 is a highlight as well as the interior appointments. The ride is just a bit rougher than most luxury cars, but it handles better than most cars on the road and has a 5.5 second 0-60 time. Sound, nav, and leather are all great, paint is good and the rims are as well. Best overall entry-level luxury vehicle on the market, in my opinion. Zero reliability issues as well. Plus, I've seen 28mpg on the highway while traveling. My only complaints are that you cannot completely turn off the traction control, the adaptive cruise control leaves too much distance on the shortest setting, and the accelerator pedal is VERY sensitive.

Best car I have owned.

A lot of spunk for a six cylinder. Only problem is it will not charge iPhone 6 or greater without purchasing an adapter.

best car i've ever owned, but excessive road noise

overall, its outstanding. in every aspect. but they could have insulated the frame/cab better from road noise. the OEM tires were audible, i switched to michilin and cut the noise in half. now its comparable with the other cars we own. i've owned them all, and would repeat my purchase.
