I'm glad your car is holding up. I have had 2 top trim G70s (3.3T sport in Canada) owned since brand new. The first car I had multiple acceleration issues where the car would lose almost all power. Multiple dealer attempts and months to fix. Ended up replacing the turbo and thr fuel pump. Was the only negative with the car so I stuck with the brand for a brand new 2024 G70 but this one has electrical issues galore from brand new. I have driven it 2 times since I picked it up from the dealer. Only 2. Had to get towed back to dealer immediately as the car battery was dying. 2.5 months later and it's still in service with no fix in sight. New battery installed. New alternator. New fuse box. Now been waiting for a month for a whole new wiring harness for front passenger door to see if that fixes the battery draw. Just brutal service from Genesis Canada as well. I have total regret sticking with the brand. Has totally soured me. Hope yours keeps going strong!
These can be found on the used market at some pretty good deals. It’s an outstanding value new also, especially with the 10 year warranty. My 2018 Stinger has had no mechanical issues.
These cars are great! Especially deals on used. I purchased a lightly used 3.3T AWD for nearly half its MSRP last year. The V6 is the one to get as its regarded as the most bulletproof engine in all of Hyundai Corps offerings. The 4 cyl, not so much. Throw in a tune or JB4 and you're well over 400hp, but even stock it's plenty fast. Also, my dealer experience has been generally excellent. They've even fixed the minor squeaks and rattles for crying out loud! Most dealers give you the old "couldn't replicate customers concern." Modern Mercedes are notorious for that problem.
My dealership is offering me a 3.3t fully loaded for a lease price of 575-599 a month at 3,000 down. Is it that good of a deal or try and wait for a bmw or alpha Romeo sedan for similar if it’s even possible. The lease price is tempting
@@scoutandscooter I drove a 2018 GT1 when I was 20, a coworkers friend had just picked one up and let me take it for a spin, definitely prefer it over the genesis, but still love how the genesis I drove felt. Mind you it was a 2022, but they haven't changed too much.
I’ve had mine for 2 months and love it. The prestige interior is better than the Germans and the car is very quiet and smooth also much cheaper than the competition
New generation is coming soon I bet. The half analog half digital dash is silly. If you want to do analog gauges then put a digital display in between them. Makes much more sense sense
genesis is a really underrated brand, their cars have a nice unique look compared to new bmw's. people assume genesis cars are not good cars just because their made by hyundai.
I don't care about brand; I care about the smiles per dollar. I have the 3.3T RWD (2022) version of this car and it is an absolute riot. The look, the feel, the sounds, what a car. Then I think about how much I paid and the fact that this twin turbo hooligan has a 100K powertrain warranty. GTFO, what a thing! Just be prepared to spend serious dollars in gas because once you learn how to optimally paddle shift in sport+ there is no going back.
My local Hyundai dealer has been selling Genesis cars since 2008. Now there is a stand alone dealer in the area and I saw one of these G70's on the lot and it looked terrific in silver paint with the gray interior. At $45,500, including destination, it seemed like a relative bargain.
No quarter-mile and brake test? If you don't want to use a VBOX, Dragy and P-Gear are great and simpler alternatives for quarter-mile times. It might be a good idea to always use Dragy/P-Gear anyway to compare it to track equipment for E.T.s (mph/trap speed might not be as accurate as track equipment).
I love the MW reviews and have watched them for decades. However, regarding the amount of CO2 emitted by your test cars, I am far more concerned about the CO2 emitted by Washington politicians who are driving this Nation down the Road to Perdition.
Ridiculous no quarter mile time in this day and age. Sounds like a bunch of excuses. Plenty of gear to get those times without a full track. Don't be lazy.
I think the G70 is a fine car. It needs to bring back the orange color the 2018 KIA Stinger GT2 had, which was stunning. That would likely boost sales.
As the owner of a Kia Stinger gt, I'm glad the G70 is still around. I feel the Stinger is the more usable of the two though, given its massive hatch. The Stinger has been nothing but fantastic, haven't fixed anything besides oil changes and tires. I do wish the Stinger hadn't been cancelled but I'm glad I got one.
This vehicle manufacturer has cars currently unsafe as to get a warnings not to park near structures kia, Hyundai, same manufacturer different branding electrical fires & thermal runaway events
I picked up a 2023 3.3 fully loaded demo unit from a 5 star genesis dealership with 7k miles on it for $42k. Could not be happier.
Good job Genesis for continuing to offer RWD on most trim levels.
I have a 2018 G80 Sport. Over 188k kms and it drives like new and never let me down. Not one leak.
3.3 Twin turbo or 5 L V8
@nathanlopez5667 Sport is the 3.3 Twin turbo.

My 2019 3.3t G70’s rear subframe bent.
If you buy used, you lose the 10 year warranty. But it still keeps the 5yr/60k standard warranty.
Yeah they 15k cars today, they all over Atlanta now lol
korean cars are not good deals, they have nothing but issues
@@MikeJohnson-ej4oc how’d you manage that?

Team Genesis 💙💙💙💙 for keeping the sedan alive 🎉
I drove one of these a few months ago, a 3.3T, excellent car, super refined feeling. Think I prefer the pre facelift Stinger styling though.
IT IS A PILE
Agree. Just saw a Stiner the other day. Really nice looking car.

Gorgeous Definitely would love to have One 😉😉
It must be infuriating to SUV / crossover fans / apologists to see a sedan still surviving, let alone thriving in the modern age.
lmao, sedans
aren't going anywhere.
@@seriouscyrus33 Not everybody has 50 kids and a ton of junk to haul ...lol
It’s not thriving it’s going to be discontinued sadly.
Had a G70 2.0. Great car. Looks good, sweet chassis.
@donwarrington4916 stop having so many GD kids
G70 is a beautiful car. Still waiting on the Genesis coupe successor.
Great car! I'm on my 2nd. (Pre-facelift and now facelift)
Man that’s a beautiful looking car!👌🥰👍
I would take the V6. My daughter would love that blue but l dont know how she would feel about that grill .
I’ve had mine for 2 months and love it. The prestige interior is better than the Germans and the car is very quiet and smooth also much cheaper than the competition
It's definitely gorgeous.
umm not

hmmm why do i recall the pre refresh styling being way more attractive...maybe im just crazy....
Would have never thought the stinger would be the one to see the exterminator even though i see the stinger like 4 or 5:1 to the g70 on the roads
What no manual transmission 😮
No one bought them.
Id take this, c300 or a 3 series
You are crazy
I miss these things... I'm in Japan and these things are non existing
Do that 3.3 model
Will there be a successor to this G70 sedan?
I hate the grille

Has one of the ugliest grill in automotive, only beaten by the Chrysler 300
surprising that this vehicle stills survives today.

You can have it in the ''magma'' series..... not yet with the G70 though...
50% depreciation as soon as you drive it off the lot...
isn't that all car?
Like most new cars it depreciates, but not by 50 percent.
more like 130%, you have to pay to get rid of it
@@allentoyokawa9068 lol does Toyota even pay for all yo hard work?
Here before it blows up and gets engine replacement
And KIA wont pay for it.
@@MeliorIlleisn’t it hyundai?
@@lg740xxKia and Hyundai are the same company.
@JohnEvans-ct6mz They are seperate when it comes to warranty. Hyundai were way better to deal with than Kia.

Is still a Kia 🙄
Close, actually Hyundai
Yo mom?

True... every man that owned a C class got poorer.....

Looks hideous but at least it’s not an EV
