Love my Genny!!

This car has everything I ever wanted or needed in a family car. It's quiet, smooth on the road, and packs a get up and go for passing! I've never been in love more than with this car! You can't beat the warranty which provides peace of mind! The Tameron Hyundai folks really know how to satisfy their customers! You can't beat their friendly staff!

I love my car. Always recommend how great the car is.

Best Bang for the Buck

Our purchase was the result of an extensive examination of similar vehicles both more and less expensive. The Genesis was by far the best fit for us.

Luxury and performance

I own a 2012 Genesis with the Technology and Premium packages. This car provides everything I want in a car for far less $$ than Infinity, Lexus, BMW and MB. Mine has the 3.8L six-cylinder engine that provides ample power when it's needed. I have features on my Genesis that aren't included on a similar year 5 series BMW. Very pleased.

Best Car Ever

My wife and I were very blessed to stumble upon our beautiful, dependable and comfortable Hyundai Genesis. The Lord truly blessed us with it, in that, we were just looking and had just test drove a Buick LaCrosse, which was what my wife thought she wanted. We had never even heard of the Genesis and we're up by the mall and just decided to go look. Mind you I said look and that we were not prepared to buy yet. Now fast forward and three days later we were the proud owners of a BRAND NEW, beautiful black, fully loaded, 2012 Hyundai Genesis, just in time for our wedding anniversary. Best present ever for my wife. We are living happily ever after some almost 4 yrs later. Thanks Barnes Crossing Hyundai.

Overall the vehicle is great with a few exceptions

I do like the Genesis, but there is always hesitation / skipping while excelerating. the Transmission is the weak link. It does not shift into 1st or even 2nd when stopping and starting without being totally stopped for several seconds. I am sure it is to maximize fuel economy, but if you are making a U turn, you need to accelerate fairly quickly. With 333 HP, regardless, it will not get up and go and if you stomp on it, it roars into 1st and makes a crazy noise. This should not be. in the Lexus ES 350, this does not happen. The shifting is very much seamless. that is my number one complaint. Not having a memory drivers seat is also a complaint.

2012 Hyundai Genesis

I love my Hyundai Genesis which I bought in July 2012, I only have 17,000 miles on it but could not be happier with it, I just had my battery replaced and that is the first problem I have had with this car. I also had to replace the batteries in my key fobs a couple months ago. I get a lot of compliments on how the car looks. Nelson G. Hamman

"Great car for less"

This car is top notch, however i still feel there are some things that could be better ..I think the car drives well. But needs to be a bit more sturdy when on the road, however I am no longer a Toyota gal :-) i look for mote growth from.Hyundai in the future

best car overall i have ever owned

this car ,a 2012 genesis, now with 68,000 miles, has NO weak points. Plenty of power, handles well, great ride, comfortable, roomy, big trunk and no repairs. just normal maintenance. service people at dealership are professional and very easy to deal with. Still using the original brake pads. this car will never wear out.

Hyundai almost got it right.

This has been a sweet car and has a great acceleration. The gripe is that - through a not great design - the car always pulls to the right, and cannot be aligned to offset this pull. i own a Lincoln MKS and have owned several other Lincolns and Cadillacs in the past. None of these cars ever had this type of pull. if it was not for this alignment problem, i would stack this car against any comers. With this flaw, it makes the car not nearly as fun to drive. i suppose if you are a race driver and are used to a pulling and super responsive Wheel it might be okay. I am almost 70 and like a responsive car, but also a very controlled car. This one does not have that control.
