Some things make no sense
Overall, this is a fantastic vehicle compared to others in the same price category. Safety features like Blind-Spot Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking,Rear Cross Traffic Warning and Lane-Keep Assist came standard in this car. The front seats with the seat extender make me feel like sitting a MB S Class. The 3.8 engine packs a punch when needed but stays in the background on your daily commute. The 8-speed tranny is a perfect match. I get about 23MpG on my commute, mostly highway with some stop and go. Why no 5 stars: 1. Believe it or not, factory default this vehicle has NO FOG LIGHTS! That is a serious issue. You can get them after-market in case you buy a Genesis without. 2. The voice control menu is not as good as Subaru or others, especially with a connected mobile phone. 3. Navigation system is over-complicated. 4. The vents in the dash are not illuminated. (much cheaper Subaru Outback has them) 5. There is no seat heating for the back-row ( much cheaper Subaru Outback has them). But again, I purchased this car as a 2015 CPO (certified pre-owned) with a 6 year remaining warranty for less than $27K with 20k miles on it. In this price segment I would have gotten a bare bones 2014 E Class or a higher mile Audi A6 3.0 with less features, perhaps a BMW 528i with that horrible nagging 4cyl turbo engine. None others would have given me the 6 years of warranty I enjoy now.
