What is this??

I love my genesis, she takes such good care of me. I’m widowed and my husband always took care of the cars. I feel so secure and safe. Also my dealership has taken the time to explain the bells and whistles. I’m driving with comfort and security??

Just what I expected. Great car!

I traded in my 2012 Genesis for a 2016 and just like my 2012 I have had no problems. The car is two years old and has only been to the dealership for regular service. I just drive it and enjoy, unlike my experience with Cad's & German cars which seem to always have some costly issues.

At the 2 year mark, quite pleased with my choice!

I have the '16 Genesis 3.6L AWD. I had test driven the previous generation designs and was not quite buying it, but when I drove this one the first thing that wowed me was the handling. For a long wheelbase, big sedan the handling is very, very good. I don't think this is mentioned that much. There is no dive, squat, it barely moves around corners. The ride compromise is excellent. The design work on the suspension in cooperation with Lotus really shows up. Can't say enough about that. Down the highway at 80 mph, it is amazingly quiet. Some real engineering went into that. This car is comfortable. Nice big comfortable seats front and rear. It has a good size trunk for my golf clubs. And I like the way the dash/controls are laid out. It's simple, yet elegant, not fussy. I like having a transmission gear selector you grab and pull without looking at it, not some silly mouse knob. That's for weenies. And BTW, the 8 speed transmission is excellent. Smooth, no hunting, kicks down without any hesitation. Living in the Northeast I appreciate the three level seat heater and the heated steering wheel. Another thing I like is having a mute button for the radio on the steering wheel. Cool!

We love our 2016 Genesis

We bought the Genesis 80 at the end of the model year and had to go to SoCal to find the car we wanted. We love the look, the ride, the quality, and the incredible Hyundai Warranty. And, we bought the Genesis because we really liked our 2008 Sonata, but wanted more comfort...we’re happy Genesis owners.

A steal!

This was an impulse buy. I've owned lots of cars loaded with options but not a true luxury car. I looked at the "German Iron" and the starting prices are reasonable but you can quickly double the price with options and I love options. In comparison, the fully loaded 2016 Genesis was a reasonable $62K. But it gets better. The 2016 and 2017 are essentially the same vehicle, with the 2017 coming with additional services. I took the 2016 when Hyundai was offering "huge savings" to move the remaining 2016's. The net result is I got "a steal". The vehicle is superb! From the moment you sit in it, this is not a cheap car with lots of options. It's solid, worthy of joining the ranks of other luxury cars. The designers of Bentley worked on this and it shows, just look at the logo. You don't need to drive anywhere to impress. I download concerts to the outstanding Lexicon 17 speaker, 900 watt entertainment system (used by Bentley). With the car parked, fill up the car with people, turn on the video on the central display and crank up the sound. The problem is you can't get them to leave. Love it.

Dales Genesis

I absolutely love my Genesis! I love the way it drives, and the way it looks, so sleek yet sporty.it has so many extras that I use every day. Heated steering wheel, and seats.the car seat moves back when I turn off the car so I can easily get out. It's like driving a Mercedes but better!

Excellent automobile

The Genesis has been a pleasure to drive in every way. Handles great, rides great and has all the amenities needed. This is the first time I purchased an automobile that I remained satisfied with after over one year of operation. kudos to Hyundai

Love my Genesis

The Genesis is a luxury vehicle with all the bells and whistles. Most cars in this category do not have all wheel drive, but the Genesis does and handles beautifully in the snow tire wise, but has an issue with the sensors once the weather gets bad. This is a design flaw that can be easily resolved. Have had it for over a year and really enjoy it.

I love to drive my Genesis! That says it all!

The Genesis is an understated luxury car. It performs better than a Lexus and an Infiniti which i have previously owned and drove for a number of years. Value car for the money. Strangers have stopped me and wanted to see the car.

Favorite Vehicle Ever!

I've owned approximately 30 vehicles in 45 years of driving. From a 1970 VW Beetle to a lofty MBZ. The Genesis is by far the most comfortable, quietest and best value of any vehicle I have ever owned. It happens to be the 4th Hyundai/Kia product I've owned. They are reliable and rarely need anything more than the normal service.

Mostly excellent for appearance, driving, & very comfortable.

Mine is year 2016, and Navi system is not driver oriented. I recommend to update Android Auto to use google map. Exterior design is super, and overall quality & value for the money is very excellent.

Genesis Rates High

The car is very nice for the money and drives smoothly. Has a few blind spots and paint job could use improvement. Overall, very pleased and have owned 2 of these cars. Will consider another and interested in the G80.

Our Car

Lets see, Our car runs very well with lots of power and the pick up to move in and out of traffic is great thanks to the V6 engine and the 8 speed transmission combo. On the road our car runs very quiet with very little wind noise and the fuel MPG runs in the high twenty's to the low 30's. On a trip last year back East we were not beat to death after 12 hours on the road (786 miles of interstate travel). Now that should be the whole story.

2nd Genesis, not sure I would buy a third

I loved my 2009 Genesis and bought a 2016 without test driving any other cars. While I like the 2016 it feels a little less solid than the 2009. I think the wheel base is shorter by a bit and the car is a bit lighter, thus not as firm or solid on the road. I also feel like the materials and construction are marginally lower in quality than they were on the older model. Overall, I like the car but I would test drive Cadillac, Acura, Lexus and Volvo before buying again.
