    Learning from the mistakes of the first generation, Hyundai elevates their first premium offering up a few notches with more of everything. With available AWD, plentiful standard and available luxury features, and a price point that undercuts major competitors by as much as 20 grand, those of you shopping for a mid-size luxury sedan should put the Genesis at the top of your list, just as long as brand cachet isn't your highest priority.

    I actually bought this car about a month ago. It really is a nice car. You don't get blown away at first blush, but the more you drive it, the more you will like it. Lots of little details done well. Our family has tried all sorts of quasi-luxury cars (mercedes, volvo, infiniti, lexus, and even a lincoln) but for this price point - which you can negotiate way below msrp - you'll be enjoying the opposite of buyer's remorse. If they keep the pricing low and keep improving these cars, I don't think we will ever go back to any other brand.

      Good for you. I think people are too brand loyal. Or caught up with the badge. They are missing out on fine cars because of such things. Every brand makes good and bad products.

      @@LittleJooo No longer have it. Traded it in a few years back, so I can't comment on long term reliability. But we had zero problems. No maintenance beyond the basics. The one thing that my wife didn't like was she felt the seat moved slightly when making turns. I never noticed it, but the wife did. Didn't affect the controls or adjustment mechanism, so the dealer didn't pay any attention to it. I would imagine nothing like that affects the newer Genesis cars. It was a great looking car.

    I own a 2012 fully loaded Genesis that I totally love, but it does have a few short comings. With this new model Genesis they have totally, and completely addressed these issues. The multiple mode transmission fixes the slow shifting issue in my car. The increase in torque fixes the slight lag in traffic that sometimes occurs when you step on the gas. The center stack is so much more attractive than mine, and a feature that greatly improves the look of the dash! The quality of my car is excellent, and it sounds like they have even improved on that! By the way, on the freeway at a steady 70 mph, I get 32 mpg!! That is truly amazing for a car this size! Now, if I could only make my wife understand how badly we need this new model!!!!

    Toyota = Lexus
    Honda = Acura
    Nissan = Infiniti
    VW = Audi and Porsche
    GM = Cadillac
    Ford = Lincoln
    Every luxury car company has a parent company . . .

      Herc Zeus As you stated some luxurious car brands are owned by lesser brands. Which is true. However these car brands have made a name for themselves.
      Audi = quality, technology
      Porsche = sport
      Lexus = quality, soft
      What does Genesis have? Luxury buyers aren't looking for value, they're looking for emotion.
      I never said I don't like the car or brand, I actually quite like it. It just doesn't offer anything special other than value, which most luxury buyers aren't looking for.

    • @herczeus9341
      @herczeus9341 8 лет назад +8

      Joshua R Some? Almost all of them are.
      Audi & Porsche = Recalls as they share parts and platforms for the most part with VW (Emissions Recall). And high repair costs if you own the car for years rather than lease it.
      Lexus used to equal quality. Not so much anymore these days. The quality has gone down hill since Toyota was racing to become #1 in sales and major recalls happened as a eventual result.
      Genesis is a new luxury car company. And I wouldn't say it's a value brand either. They have hired all the right people to run it.
      BMW M VP of Engineering Albert Biermann.
      Luc Donckerwolke head of Bentley design team.
      Peter Schreyer head of Audi design team.
      Manfred Fitzgerald formerly director of brand and design at Lamborghini to run the new brand.
      Lotus Racing to tune the cars on the famous Nuremberg track.
      You can't start at the top or near the top on Day 1. The lineup isn't even established yet. 6 cars by 2020 and more to follow.
      And luxury buyers such as myself for instance have been raped for years even though I lease them and don't carry them for more than 2 years.
      Hell my cardiologist just bought a G80 after being hosed down for the last time after his year old BMW 7 Series gave up on him. And they told him he needed a new Transmission.

    • @joshuar4535
      @joshuar4535 8 лет назад

      Herc Zeus I agree with almost everything you said, expect for the Lexus and being raped part.
      Lexus' quality is up there with the big boys. The RX has better interior materials than the X5 and GLE.
      I don't mean to be negative but, Hyundai hasn't been that reliable either. With issues from squeaks to transmissions. Of course these are early problems likely to be resolved in the coming years.

    So many ignorant people expressing opinions here, but worse yet, some are passing off unfounded opinions as fact. Not many here, I would guess have actually spent time and money on both sides of this equation and truly have a perspective that can be trusted. I have, and can tell you that the Hyundai Genesis, and the upcoming Genesis G80 is a luxury vehicle that has truly arrived, giving up almost nothing other that time built cachet to the other established luxury brands. I own a 2015 Genesis Ultimate, and have for 15 months now and this car just gets better and better with each month of ownership! Took and 8 hour trip to Atlanta last week in it, and absolutely enjoyed every minute of the drive. Car was loaded with 4 passengers total and a trunk full of vacation bags and the car handled this weight with such graceful confidence, and quiet balance and performance! On many occasions of open highway I was able to quietly cruise competently and confidently over 90mph, cutting the 8 hour trip down to a 7 hour trip. The technology in the car is first class and I am ready to admit it is the best overall luxury vehicle I have owned, surpassing my previous favorite Infiniti.

    I Turo'd a 3.8 Ultimate recently. Relatively low miles for the year, so I feel not too far off from new. Impression - a good alternative to a Lexus, but very much in the 'Buick' mode vs. my 5 Series - though admittedly mine is an M sport. Very hushed, very comfortable seats, nice Lexicon stereo, loaded with features for 2015, good even for today. Wish the doors didn't have a stupid button rather proximity sensor w/o button push. You feel its weight pushing in corners, and it doesn't feel 'secure' at 100+ mph cruise / the Germans have it all over this here. In one quick high speed maneuver (necessitated by a guy leaving his lane without warning, nearly clipping me) the combination of body roll and confused response to inputs was unsettling and almost dangerous. Mid 20's fast highway driving, low 20's in town. The 'sport' setting does nothing but throttle response. A car for a certain kind of driver and driving style just not me, but comfortable to be sure.

My cousin paid 17 thousand more for his Cadillac than my original sticker price. His Caddy is also a year newer and not even close as good as my Genesis. I don't care what you compare between the two, that Caddy loses. The cabin of this vehicle is So Quiet and Comfortable, that it makes his Caddy seem noisy and not so comfortable. I have automatic privacy shade on the rear window, manual ones on the backseat door windows, his Caddy don't. His Bose system sounds nice, my 17 speaker 900 watt Lexicon system sounds fantastic and will blow out you ear drums. And the driving experience is fantastic, even with the 3.8 which I have. This is a heavy car which responds really Nimble. I've been in cars that cost 20 thousand plus more, and this car is as good or better than any of them. This car is SO GOOD. that I laugh at the fools whi pay much more for a BADGE. And anyone who thinks that I'm the JOKE, I'll be happy to put my vehicle and theirs to the challenge. And let's Nit forget, I dont have a Genesis G80, I have the Hyundai Genesis, AND I paid way less. This vehicle should have been all over the roads. Off the Lot this vehicle could have been bought for 3 or 4 thousand more than a top trimmed Accord, Camry, Optima, and Sonata, thousands of dollars cheaper than most Lincolns and Cadillac's, cheaper than a Buick Lacross. Wow, you all that own those cars, you are a Joke when you see me next to you in my Genesis.

      Do you think that the 3.8 L Genesis is faster than a Q 50 or a Honda accord 2.0 L 2018-2020 or 3.5 L V6 Toyota Camry do you think it is faster than those cars honestly so sugar coating ?

    The V8 was only offered for the 2015 MY. You can't option it for 2016 and it won't be available when it switches to the Genesis G80 either. Canada still offers the 2015 MY, which is why they still have it.

    Bullshit on the navigation comment. The Nav in the Genesis is "Very" feature rich.On a trip last week a guest made particular mention of how premium visually accurate the graphics were when we were being guided down the interstate. The overhead signs of the freeway were reproduced for the 9.2" screen in a most realistic appearance. The info was spot on and very impressive.

    I have a 2016 3.8 Genesis coupe this car is a race car. The engineering behind this car if you can get one for the price is outstanding. I'm a driver which takes care of his customers. Being fast is my job.. My fellow employees tell me to slow down.. Can't do it. Everyone who pushes the boundaries will tell you it's not about winning the race. It's about how fast and artistically you can push yourself which is dangerous. I will take this car against any Porsche, BMW.,Mercedes. ( OFF TANGENT) The thing is I won't challenge on the street because there are too many drivers today who swerve in and out of traffic . There are drivers in the passing lane that do not pass and just hold up traffic. If your slow be in the right lane if your fast be in the left.. (ON TANGENT) Oh by the way, The terrible stereo system. at least for my ears.... does anyone know how the disconnect the middle cord on the back of the control panel so I could replace the stereo.... Oh... A Turbo really... You have no need for a Turbo on this car. Sorry for the book I just wrote I hope you read it. This cars real shit and the real ones know it.

      I probably would because although the German's smoke this car in terms of luxury, it just cannot compare well in terms of reliability. I suspect that if you buy a German car and it ages over the years, it's probably going to have some major issues and you're gonna pay that price. Compared to Europe, Hyundai smokes the German's in terms of reliability.
