Genesis 3.8 w Tech & Luxury rivals BMW, MB, Lexus

The Genesis 3.8 loaded is a great sports sedan. Comfortable, handles as well as a 5 series BMW or E class Benz. It probably would match or beat those if Hyundai were to improve the Tires. They simply need to be a bit more sporty and higher quality, which I will seek when these factory ones need replacing. And it delivers 29 MPG Highway for us which beats all our prior luxury sedans. Our only criticism is with the "chrome" trim work, its "Cheapy" and it shows after just a few months. The paintwork is superb and looks like it will prove durable. We test drove it after riding with friends that owned a year earlier model and we were impressed. VALUE was superior to the Benz E320 so we bought it and we are glad we did, so far 1+ year with it.

Review of 2012 Genesis

I love these cars. My very first ever attempt at purchasing a car on my own was the 2009 Genesis (car of the year!). When my husband needed a new car, we decided that he would take that car, and when left on my own to decide, I didn't hesitate to purchase the 2012. Drives like a dream, but most of all, it met everything on my bucket list of what I wanted in an automobile. We're a 2 Genesis family, and couldn't be happier.

Very nice car. Love it on the highway.

Have been very pleased with this car. Has always gotten better gas mileage on the highway than information was advertised...consistently in the thirty-one MPH range. Not as good on ice and snow as I expected, and plan on an all-wheel drive next time. My wife is unhappy that the passenger seat has limited adjustment settings. Biggest complaint is the lighting for the driver information center. The color is blue. OK at night, but impossible for me to see in the bright day time, especially with sun glasses. It is one of the most dangerous driving situations I have been in when trying to read it. In order to read it, while driving I have to remove my glasses, lean to within about six inches of it and shield the bright light from it. Needless to say, a very undesirable situation, so much so that if this is not changed in the next model, it will be a "deal breaker".. Just plain and simple a significant safety problem.

Best car I've ever owned!

After a lifetime of vehicles (about 35) this one has the best balance of ride, luxury, performance, handling and gas mileage of any I have ever owned (or driven). A pleasure to drive!

2012 vs 2015 models

A salesman asked me what I didn't like about my 2012 Genesis while I was waiting for car in service dept. My two complaints were concerning stability of the suspension and a sporadic hesitation of the throttle. He gave me a rundown of the changes/improvements made in these areas. They recognized the input from genesis owners of the 2012/2013 models and redesigned both the suspension and throttle. He explained the improvements in great details. The 2015 model must be near perfect and I would buy one if I wasn't a retiree.

My Dream Car....2012 Genesis Sedan

I used to drop by Garden Grove Hyundai just to day dream and look at the cars thinking that one day I might own one. I especially liked the Equus and the Genesis. Keep in mind I never went there with the thought of buying a car, not for awhile anyway. I had my 2007 Camry with 250,000 miles on it, and no cash for a down payment. There was a saleswoman named Ashley (who has since returned to Korea), who came up to me and asked if I was interested in buying and I said no, just looking around. She told me they just got a 2012 Genesis demo in with only 5k miles on it. It was fully loaded. Of course she asked if I wanted to test drive and hesitantly said ok. I told her it was great, but still wasn't ready to buy. That's when Scott came out, and made a deal I couldn't refuse, and I ended up buying it. To tell you the truth, sometimes I say to myself, what did I get myself into? But then I say, just enjoy it, you've worked hard and need something nice for yourself. I love my Genesis. I had a 2002 Acura CL, which was a really cool car, but honestly, I have never had so many people come up to me and tell me what a nice car the Genesis is, and how they liked it, and that's even after 2 years of ownership, I still have people come up and comment on the car. I'm really amazed at that, and consider it another perk of owning the car. Everything is great on the car, but you can't beat the 17 speaker Lexicon audio / DVD player. Awesome!! The whole Genesis experience is fantastic, and the value was right on for the money spent. My 2012 probably has more extras than the 2015 and I paid a lot less for it as well. Hopefully they won't get too expensive, not that they're not worth it, because they are. They only thing I need to find out is how long my car will last, and I won't know that for a few years.

A WONDERFUL CAR

The Genesis is a great car, It is comfortable and a pleasure to drive. If anything it is too well equipped, and I have never tried several of the gadgets available. With the 4.6L v-8 it is fast and responsive and with rear-wheel drive it has an amazing turning radius for a car of this size. So far it has been trouble free. Value for money can't be beat.
