Hyundai Genesis, my best car ever.

Of the 15 cars I have owned, my 2012 Hyundai Genesis is, by far, the best vehicle I have had the pleasure of driving. It's reliable and was built for comfortably cruising the road in style. It's heavy/solid enough for optimal safety and agile/fast enough to make driving fun. Its amenities and electronics are second to none in its class, and, by comparison, better than most cars even in higher categories.

2012 Genesis.

Best car ever, and I assume the newer ones are just as great. 134,000 +/- miles and still going strong. Maintaining the vehicle is very important, Mine is done at Earnhardt regularly or as needed and they have been just great. My car will be traded when it gets ready to quit and not before. That is meant in nothing but a complimentary way to illustrate the quality of the vehicle.

2012 Genesis

I still love my Genesis after almost 70,000 miles. Still runs great. last year I replaced two orig tires, will probably replace the other two orig shortly. The only negative is that this car is rearwheel drive, (no good in any snow), wished all-wheel drive was available in 2012. My next car Genesis will have ALLWHEEL DRIVE. Sorry to learn that you cannot purchase a Genesis at Hyundai dealerships any more.

Very happy

I have had 203000 miles fairly problem free. The Genesis is a luxurious auto that competes and beats its European colleagues. I had a Mercedes prior to this car. I will not be going back. This is a very good purchase.

Our Genny

This car not only has eye appeal, but drives and handles amazing. Will get another genesis, maybe G90 in the near future. As long as this 2012 keeps performing like she has, we're just pleased beyond words!

I love my Genesis!

Bottom line...great performance, great driving experience and very dependable! All you have to give back is a little bit of TLC...ie: regular service! That’s all there is to it...clear, simple and easy!

2012 Genesis Review

Very comfortable; adequate power. A bit small. Missing a few comforts; no heated steering wheel, no blind spot warning system, no cooled passenger seat, not able to sync music from phone, back seat belts are challenging for middle passenger. Adaptive cruise control is EXCELLENT; memory seats and mirrors a plus; parking assist is very valuable; appreciate six disc cd changer. Re-sale value is problematic!

This 2012 Genesis has been a great car; 91,000+ miles and not a single problem except for the dash lights acting up at various times. Didn’t take it in to have checked because I’m afraid it might be made worse!

2012 Genesis

The car is comfortable and a pleasure to drive. While the gas mileage is rather poor at 13mpg it isn't really a problem given that we drive only about 10K mi/yr. Overall, we've been pleased with the car. The positives include efficient air conditioning, comfortable adjustable seats with seat heaters. Pleasant design. And several other positives, too numerous to list. The negatives include the fact that we had to have the transmission replaced at about 35K mi., but it was under the warranty. The driver's side view mirror is located in such a position that it blocks the street level view when making left turns. This makes it a bit dicey when we have to make left turns. The blue tooth doesn't always connect correctly, and the navigation system is close to worthless when searching for destinations to set and actually setting them. Adjusting the maps is kinda hit or miss. Adjusting the guidance volume is also problematic when it comes to adjusting it without changing the radio volume while driving. You have to keep going back to settings to make the adjustment. And, finally, the owner's manual is a joke: Try to find where the battery is located. Figure out how to change the windshield wipers without going to you tube. Find where the trunk release is on the trunk itself. Find which fuses control which circuits, and where are the fuses located. There's an entire category of "If ..." Really?

Best car we have owned

This car is fantastic. It is a 2012 Genesis and has all of the advanced electronic features that current high end cars such as BMW, Mercedes, Audi have. We have the V6 engine that delivers 333 hp and we get 35 mpg on the interstates. Unbelievable comfort and quiet.

Great

It’s luxury . It’s expensive.its nice interior and exterior. A lot of great features. You can cruise or style in it. The tag and the oil change cost on this vehicle than my previous car. The texture and color of the exterior and interior .the sunroof to the navigation system. I love the car.

We love our 2012 Genesis, great performance

This vehicle had all the right options, performance and luxury compared to the high end priced vehicles as BMW, Mercedes, Audi...it blows them away on price. Quite honestly all cars today are way overpriced so why spend a fortune on those other vehicles when you have great quality and looks for a lot less. Not to make this vehicle perfect, we've had some issues in the 6 1/2 years we've had it but all have been electronic issues. With all the technology in today's vehicles I highly recommend purchasing the extended warranty because most of the repairs have been over $1000.00 each time. I f you are not going to keep the car for a long period then don't buy the warranty.

BEST I’VE EVER HAD

We have had MB & BMW but this Genesis tops them both. Nearly a quarter million miles later & it is a pleasure to drive. The dealership service team has kept me safely on the road. When the time comes I will gladly buy another Genesis.

Overall we’ve been very pleased with the vehicle. I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase another. The newer models are even better with more features available. Their is plenty of power with the 3.8 engine in this vehicle.

I love everything about my Genesis the gripe I have is with the smart cruise control it just stopped working. Getting it serviced can pretty pricey. Hopefully it’s nothing major and I can get it running again

Great car

I love the Genesis. Everything a car person could want in a luxury car. Handles great, fast as 429 hp could be. Get stopped by different people and asked my opinion. Over all the best car I could have bought.

2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0

I have owned my Genesis since purchased new in May, 2012. I have driven the car for just a little over 40,000 miles and, with the exception of extremely high oil consumption on the 5.0 V 8 engine, I am quite pleased with the Genesis. I had a few minor electronic problems which were fixed under warranty and the car has developed a slight drive train thump (which I attribute to tire/wheel balance issues). Otherwise I am quite happy with the handling, fuel economy, styling and performance. Once my oil consumption issue is resolved, I will be completely satisfied.

Beautiful and Smart

7 yrs into a great vehicle. I have owned Mercedes, Porsch and BMW. I bought this model after a bit of unhappiness with the Sonata. The Genesis was on the lot and had been used as a "loaner" for other Genesis owners while work was being done. My Great Good Luck! My Genesis is the 18kt Gold charm.
