Greg Macke - Your Car Angel reviews a first generation Hyundai Genesis that ran between 2009-2014. It is another 100k long term review on a car that is considered one of the Best Used Cars to Buy especially in the luxury used cars. The Hyundai Genesis can be found on Greg's Halo list at www.carbuyingsupport.com.
Greg talks about the cost of ownership espaecially when compared to mainly the BMW 5 series (525,530 and 535) and the Mercedes Benz E class (E350 and E550). German cars have a higher cost of ownership than the Korean built Genesis. Also covered is the Z6 transmission made by the Getriebe Company in Germany and is the exact transmission found in the BMW 5 series lineup.
2012 3.8 Genesis owner here. 102k miles. Still looks and drives like a dream.
Has yours engine ever stalled out on you ?! I keep hearing about this
My left ear enjoyed this video.
then your audio is wired up backwards, should be hearing the right channel, actually.

Check again; it is most definitely only coming out of the left. If you need to check your sound system, search RUclips for "stereo sound test".
That's funny cause I only had my headset in my left ear
Lmfao with this comment, so true.
I laughed so hard.
I have a 2011 Genesis 4.6 with 105l miles on it. The car is built like a tank and runs great (knock on wood). I would buy another.
I'm looking at buying an 09 4.6 with 140,000 miles. It was maintained extremely well and is in absolute mint condition. Is that a car I should not be scared of at that mileage? My old Maxima is still going at over 240,000 miles and I don't want to replace it with a car that will turd out on me at 200K.
@@evanganske9240 , what's the price? I'm sure you will reach 200k miles easy.
@ Bought it and spent $8,519 out the door
@@evanganske9240 , not bad.
Great to hear. I gave up my Focus at 187,000 miles because I needed a larger car for my standard poodle. 😂
I am blown away by my Hyundai Tucson and I'd definitely purchase a Genesis if they did a crossover.
Ghosh, these videos are so much easier to watch then Scottys lol
akoofromtp lol!!! Leave Kilmer alone
Woah woah
😂😂😂😂
Ayooo 🤣🤣🤣
REV UP YOUR ENGINES!
I'd like to see more 50,000 mile comparison reviews. There are way too many new car reviews, and single reviews of 100,00 mile cars. You cant tell much about which is the best car to buy when the comparison is only about new cars. It doesn't really matter if one car is slightly better than the other when they are brand new. I want to know how they performed after a few years. That's where I get my moneys worth or get ripped off.
Im there with you sir. Ive always bought my vehicles around the 100k mark.
Hyundai hard to do 100k review, they do not last that ling
I own a 2011 4.6 that I bought new. I have put 260K miles on it, mostly highway miles. I got over 200K miles on the factory front brakes, and over 250K on the rears. The only failures were the radar cruise control box and the alternator, which blew its regulator at about 250K. Super reliable car. One detail that this reviewer got wrong: The gearbox in this model is a 6HP26 made in Germany by ZF, which was correctly stated as shared with BMW, but also Aston Martin, Jaguar, and others. It was widely considered the finest 6-speed auto built by an independent. ZF sold them to Hyundai because they had just been replaced in most of those other cars with the 8HP 8-speed, which fit in the same space.
My 2009 4.6 has 122,000 on it and runs like a top. I get 25+ mpg from the v8. Had the right front headlight replaced because Jiffy Lube guy busted it trying to replace the bulb. Local dealer set me back $700+ due to having to drop the front clip (?). Another non-dealer repaired the interior/courtesy lighting for only $78! I have the technology package which is intuitive and easy to use. Very happy driver.
Curt Weist I have a 2010 V8 I keep hearing a clicking noise when i stop at a light and when i pull off after that no sound any suggestions on what it could be
Im looking into getting one. Not a brand new one but 2011 to 2013 with around or near 100,000 miles. I was skeptical but seeing your post confirms what ive been hearing from other Genesis owner's. They're pretty satisfied with just minor issues. Other than that the cars change gears smoothly with no loss in power or mpg. I think they're beautiful cars inside and out.
If you were selling it as a used car and there was a Jiffy Lube sticker on it, I'd walk (run) away.
never use those jiffy lube places
@@onenikkione - once a Canadian Tire express station did my oil change and *left the oil fill cap unscrewed* from the valve cover!
i only noticed the louder engine tone driving away in the parking lot. Opened the hood, cap was sitting there. *Lucky I avoided an engine fire...* Never went back...
My Genesis has 190,000 miles. In the past year of ownership and 30,000 miles I have had only one 02 sensor, and two power door lock actuators go bad. I drive it 30,000 miles a year and love it !!
How long did it last thinking of getting a2011 with 186000 miles
Hi Greg, stumbled on you RUclips on the Genesis. Great car and review. Bought a 2011 3.8 brand new and it has been bulletproof. Synthetic oil changes and tire rotations every 7500 miles and 91000 miles later it still runs and looks new. My 18 year old daughter has been driving it the last 18 months and will be taking it to college in June. You are correct in that you can 't afford to own a German car out of warrantee but these Korean cars are much less costly.
91k lol get back to us at 150k if it makes it
I know it's a year later but I'm thrilled to report my 09 3.8 is still running strong with over 220,000 miles [ NOT Km] with all systems going strong. Most of my driving is highway and mountains. The car is aging well only complaint is she's gotten noiser on the freeway. I traded my 2000 XJ8L in for it.BEST DAMN CHANGE I've ever made.
Phil Kipnis hey there thank you for the review, I’m buying a 2012 Genesis 3.8 with 96k for 7,300 is that to good to be true or average deal? Also how often should I change oils on it to keep it healthy and reaching that longevity
So you get a really top of the line car that has over half it potential still unused for how much??? Really,??? I would have jumped on it for sure, even if I had to borrow some money from my brother-in-law (yeah, that one) You have a great deal. Fine out if possible how often the previous owner changed fuels or if you're really interested, there are companies you can find on line that for a couple of crisp twenties (guessing) they will do an oil analysis for you. . That will tell you how much copper,and other engine materials have warn down. Personally, I'd just keep it topped every 7,500 with high quality hi-mileage oil.
I hope that helps. Best of luck and yes, I'm seriously jealous of your luck.
Greg,
I'm a car guy, through and through, been into cars my entire life. I've owned 18-25 cars in my 36 years on this planet. Never have I thought of or been told about looking at the brake pedal to ascertain the type of driving, but the logic is sound. Great tip, great video, great channel. Subscribed - Good show, sir.
I purchased a 2012 Genesis 5.0 V 8 without the R - Spec package I was glad to find that configuration because personally I felt like there wasn't enough Spec in the R - Spec. To me the R - Spec delivered a ride that was simply more harsh on the road than one that was tighter and more performance oriented. I thoroughly enjoyed the car I purchased. It delivered great performance whether I was running on regular unleaded gasoline or 91 octane. I purchased mine with about 40000 miles on it. I was actually looking at the new ones when I saw mine. I saw an opportunity to save money in my purchase and took advantage of it. My car had a full factory warranty. This made my purchase decision an even better and easier one.
The car got lots of compliments, if you are into that. I graciously thanked everyone who ever complimented it. That was very nice of them. It once gathered a crowd of Korean's who were at a convention of some sort as I was leaving a hotel, and getting into it. One of my very good longtime friends, who is Korean told me that in Korea only rich people drive that kind of car, and in particular the Equus. (He was once surprised in our many conversations, to find out that I knew about the Equus and Hyundai's history long before it came to America.) However that was not what was most important to me. I bought it because I liked it and I thought it was an excellent value that I would have for years to come. The 5.0 motor garnered lots of attention from people who know and love cars. I was really quite surprised To even get some invitations from people driving Mustangs V- 6 and 5.0, Subaru WRX and STI, and BMW'S M3 & M5. I also got invites from a few Chrysler and Dodge Hemi's, and one Jeep SRT
(Nice looking vehicle by the way) This usually occurred when I was on the highway and they rolled up on me from behind and saw the 5.0 logo on the trunk. I was surprised, Quite surprised and flattered they knew what it was. 429 Horsepower at the time. (More about that later) I usually politely declined the invitations because I didn't actually buy it to race. I bought it to enjoy and I wanted the performance, but I bought it to enjoy. You see I do a lot of highway driving And there's nothing more enjoyable than having a very nice car to drive on the highway when you do a lot of driving. I loved the features inside and out. And the handling was very good too. One thing that really surprised me was the fact that the body style of the 2012 did not trap dirt. It flowed very aerodynamically over the car. The only place dirt would kind of come to rest was on the rear bumper. I thought that was the coolest thing. Little did I realize it would also yield a been beneficial clue to a very real impending problem. I never drove my car in spite of driving lots of highway miles out of a 350 mile radius more or less. For longer distances I would just fly. One day I get an invitation to attend a Fitness Expo at the Orange County convention center. I started to fly however I thought what an opportunity to take my Genesis on a first sort of long drive. It was just about exactly 500 miles. I have to say the car performed beyond my expectations it did not disappoint. I've owned luxury cars, even driven across country several times. Good Genesis 5.0 was fun and relaxing. And what topped it off was the fact that when i arrived at my destination I had less than an 8th on a tank of gas left. WOW!!😄😁😎 Granted, mind you that my previous car a luxury car had a little smaller gas tank but I was running premium on this and my previous car I ran regular and I always had to fill up by the time I got to Valencia cause I was not going over the grapevine without running out of gas. So that was a big plus. From the bay area past LA, to the OC. GREAT!! The fitness event was everything I expected it to be. When it came time to return, I had to fill my tank and of course you'd check everything before getting on the road, that's the way I learned to drive. Tires, all the fluids, everything.
NOW,
The not so great. I found that I was 2 quarts low on oil. My car Had burned 2 qts of oil in a 500 mile trip. Not good, not usual. OK not to panic, not to worry. I topped it off. And I made a stop or 2 on the way back not stopping not topping it off again until I had reached my destination. To my disappointment I discovered that I had burned 2 qts of oil on the return leg also. I decided to drive it a bit and monitor it closely to see what was going on. It was now burning oil all the time. It was even coming out of the exhaust and a film would rest on the rear bumper. (Remember I said more about that later.) I decided to call the factory While it was still under full warranty, and not my dime. I've spoken long enough for now. Duty calls. I will add to this post later about what happened next. For now I will say I was sorry to see her go. But, we don't buy them for the problems.
Man.... good read
Where is the follow-up post???????? Jez
i remember when the Hyundai was the butt of jokes by all stand up comedians.. i can honestly say theyve gotten the last laugh.. lol..
slikdarelic they are still shit

XenomorphL...Ya, that's what they said about Japanese cars when they started coming into the US. You don't know what a crappy car is.
@@lonniebeal6032 bi
+XenomorphLV426 I guarantee you that any Hyundai car is much better than your beat up ricer, Dodge.
4 Hyundai cars in my family and none of them has needed anything but the scheduled maintenance . I wanted an M550i but, I’ll get a G90 and have a better car and an extra 10-15k in my pocket. And then there’s the cost of ownership. Hyundai and Genesis is a no brainer if you can get past the badge.
rickgsx1387
I want a G90 too
That G90 is crazy!
Nothing wrong with the badge....I've owned several Hyundai's....none of them needed much to maintain (2004 Sonata did CAM sensor and timing belt... thsts all in 15yrs)... currently driving 2011 Gennie sedan and love it.
You can change the badge...
The badge is important. A car is status of success. BMW, Mercedes, etc will always sell.
It’s like saying “why do people buy Rolexes! My $15 watch can tell time just as well!”
Excellent info. Truly. I am a former German car fanatic but the Japanese and Koreans have reformed my thoughts at almost every level. The Koreans learned quickly what the Japanese already knew through decades of trial and error--good quality goes a long way in the United States.
Just got my uncle’s 2010 4.6L Genesis with 86K miles. Love the V8. So fun to drive. Sporty when it needs to be with almost no body roll but quiet and luxurious on the highway.
Got a 2016 G80 3.8 AWD. Love it. Did have an issue with the passenger seat electronics.
Nothing else. Will buy another one some day. Hobbes agrees. 😎
Picked up a 2009 less than a week ago. I am just absolutely in love. I prefer luxury with an edge of sportiness, and it performs it perfectly. When I look at it, I still can’t believe it’s my car. Genesis found a new fan with me
Can i ask how many miles was on the 2009 that you just bought, the engine type (v6 or v8) and about what you paid for it? I am looking at one and have no sense of a fair market value. Thanks.
@@XGempler did you get the car? I’m thinking about getting one in a couple of weeks
Thinking of buying one for 5k with 150,000 miles
I own a 2012 4.6 and just love it! Smooth quiet 385 HP power. Would buy a Hyundai again!
I bought my first used genesis yesterday based in part on this video. 2011 with 55k miles. I LOVE it. Thank you for putting this out there.
I had rented them in the past and wanted one but there weren't many affordable used genesi on the market.
How much did you get yours for?
Is it still running good
Sold it a few years ago but loved it. Never had any trouble out of it and it was fast.
@@samstone1977 thank you for the response i will definitely be looking into one
The 2009-2011 Hyundai Genesis V6 sedan used an Aisin 6-speed transmission, not one made by Hyundai (incorrectly stated in the video). Aisin was initially a joint venture between Toyota and Borg-Warner to produce transmissions, but were also used in many other brands also.
As stated in the video, the 2009-2011 Hyundai Genesis V8 used a ZF 6HP26 6-speed automatic transmission. Starting in 2012 model year, both the V6 and V8 used a newly designed Hyundai 8-speed transmission.
I have a 2009 3.8 and I've driven almost a quarter-million miles. Best car I've ever owned. Very few faults, and nobody believes the odometer reading.
I'm not selling mine though. I'm trying to see if I can hit half a million, or even a million.
Any Updates?
Any updates?
Any updates?
To correct one point in your video, when you bought the V6 model, you did *not* get a Hyundai transmission, but rather, you got the legendary Aisin transmission, as found in the flagship Lexus LS!! - the one that is known to last 300K+ miles (and no wonder it was so smooth).
burrito rustler my kia soul uses a aisin transmissions, so does dodge dart
Both my Swedish-built Saab and Lexus LS400 use Aisin transmissions and they are very reliable and operate like a swiss watch at over 100k miles.
The biggest defect is the crome handles? The V8 has the awful ZF 6 speed. over 50% fail before 100k miles. Not serviceable. Buy at your own risk.
@@tednugentlives If over 50% fail, I'm sure we would have seen and heard about the problems in reviews. You could be right, but from all the researching I've done online, I've heard no complaints
@@tednugentlives If over 50% of them failed before 100k miles, then Hyundai would have gone broke replacing them under their warranty...
Bought a 2013 in 2014 everything on it brand new from dealer on an internet deal. Still have it, only regular maintenance and just now replaced breaks, past 20k they would say, every 5k they would say about 5k more miles. At 70k finally had to replace the factory tires and made them do breaks.
I will buy another, if this one ever burns out.
I bought a 2009 Hyundai Genesis black just like the car in the video but with the 4.6 liter V8 and it's been a great car. Acceleration is awesome and smooth as silk. Ride is comfortable, which included a trip from New York to North Carolina. I get 25 mpg on the interstate, which is amazing for a four thousand pound car with 380 horse power. No problems at all to report. I highly recommend these cars.
I purchased a 2009 Hyundai Genesis for 3500$ with 100,000 miles on it in December 🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️ great deal 💯
wow nice job
The Hyundai Genesis is awesome especially the 4.6, with the V8 and the 5.0 R Spec is well, highly reliable with the V8, these engines was tested to go 800,000 miles. Most owners will get 200,000 miles or more easily with rountine maintenance.
Had my 2012 Genesis RSpec 5.0L for about 3yrs now and absolutely love it! It too just hit around 100k mi and still drives and works like a dream!
How’s it holding up?
Hi Greg, a fan of yours here. I trust your judgement on the Hyundai Genesis. Just because of you I am getting one of those. You have been a great help to us all and we can't thank you enough. Thanks buddy..
I have a 2009 Sonata! I got it at 42,000 miles and I now have close to 108,000. Haven't had a problem since I got it. Only the basics..oil change, filter changes, tires, etc. Great vehicle. I've considered getting the Genesis in the past. This review may help put it into consideration. Thank you
I have had THREE Equus automobiles. Still have two, a 2011 ultimate with the fridge and bar in back, and a 2016 ultimate with video screens in back. I traded in the 2014 for the last of the same style 2016, because I loved the others so much, and was not a fan of the look of the front g90, or the lack of video in the back. My 2011 has 49,000 and has never needed a single thing. It still looks brand new, inside and out, is as quiet as my 2016 with 7000 miles. I enjoy them both equally. I cannot think of one thing to complain about. People stop me all the time and tell me what a beautiful car it is, but WHAT KIND? LOL. Not that many were sold in the U.S. They both have the same 16 speaker fabulous surround sound system. Never had a luxury car with anything that came close to it in sound quality. I cannot imagine myself getting rid of either of these as long as they continue to give me such wonderful service..
Its a pretty good car when the biggest problem is plating issues on door handles.
Picking up a good used Equus is also great. I did and it was a steal. So strong, so powerful, so comfortable, a ton of amenities and there aren't a ton on the road so it makes it extra special. Repairs and maintenance have been simple and cheap.
Has your opinion about the car changed? It's a relatively rare car; any difficulty obtaining parts?
150k miles on my kia had since 3 miles on it. oil changes air filters tires and spark plugs is the only thing ive replaced
If your biggest problem with your car is wear and tear on your gearshift knob, count yourself blessed.
In the next 4 years I will be buying the equus or the G90
I have a Hyundai Elantra from 2017, with 48000 miles in one year, and i have only regular maintenance. Great car, very reliable, very good build.
Bought a 2011 Acura tsx wagon with 115k miles on it yesterday thanks to your highway miles video. Thank you for all you do!
Yourcarangel, just wanted to let you know I purchased a 2017 Toyota Highlander and a 2011 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 based on your two videos!! I’m hoping to one day have a Lexus GX!!! Appreciate the videos and your info! Cheers
I was invited to a factory presentation of the Genesis when it came out, probably late 2008. They had several BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus models to compare it to. I got to drive all of them and I remember telling the salesman that while the Genesis appeared to be comparable to the other cars and the price made it appear to be a good value, I predicted that it would depreciate much faster than the competition mainly because it was a Hyundai therefore it was not a good value at all. On the other hand, because of this accelerated depreciation, I predicted that the Genesis would be a great used car value one day. I believe my prediction has come true.
Frank Howard I dunno, I think they have held their value about the same or better than the German cars. That's being said you're probably right on it being a decent used car purchase, it still depreciated a lot and was cheaper to begin with, they are nice looking and reliable. I still prefer the German cars though, they carry more prestige with them which is why companies always try to compare them to the Germans. Take that for what it is I guess. Maybe not as much to enthusiasts but your average joe sees a guy in a Benz and he automatically thinks it's an expensive car when truth is the guy probably picked it up second or third hand for less than a cheap econobox. Sure the maintenance is a bit more but if you play it right it's not more expensive to own than anything else.
Billy. Thanks for your comment. I agree with everything you said except the last sentence you see, I make my living selling used auto parts on eBay and I specialize in the makes where the manufacturer is ripping off his customers namely Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes, Saab, and Volvo. If they weren't charging so much for parts, I couldn't sell my used parts for much. That's why I don't carry Hyundai parts. Those parts are just too reasonable so it would be more difficult to make money selling used Hyundai parts, or Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, Ford, GM, or Chrysler parts.
My last sentence still stands true for the most part though maybe I didn't explain it right. Let's say the average joe goes and buys a new or almost new car and doesn't do his own maintenance, he's going to spend 15k or more on average for a couple year old Hyundai or whatever where I can buy a Mercedes or a BMW after depreciation has already taken its toll for the same or even half that depending on if I'm willing to go older or with more miles and if I avoid the dealer and do my own maintenance and use aftermarket parts(bought on eBay or Amazon etc) my cost of ownership is really not any more or often less than Average Joe driving a random econobox. The problem and crazy costs really only come when you start going to the dealer and always using factory parts. That's certainly not all that's involved in playing it right as I said but that's the main key, it isn't for everyone but it works for a lot of people.
Billy. You said that, "...if you play it right it's not more expensive to own than anything else." but when you laid out your example, you didn't compare apples to apples. You said when the average Joe buys a new or almost new car, "...he's going to spend 15k or more on average for a couple year old Hyundai or whatever where I can buy a Mercedes or a BMW after depreciation has already taken its toll for the same or even half that..." I disagree. A couple year old Mercedes or BMW will cost more than the Hyundai. A much older Mercedes or BMW will cost the same and only a significantly older Mercedes or BMW will cost less so to pay the same, you'll be looking at a Mercedes or BMW that is older than the Hyundai. That's not comparing apples to apples. Now I understand that you clarified your example by saying that you could accept an older car, but again, I don't believe you compared apples to apples. You compared a Hyundai owner who always takes his car to the dealer to yourself, a guy who does his own work. Why don't you compare a Hyundai owner who does his own repairs to yourself? If you did, you'd find that the Hyundai owner is paying significantly less for new parts and that's where my business comes in. I offer the typical Mercedes or BMW owner an alternative to high priced new parts as I sell used ones so while you're replacing parts with used ones from eBay, the Hyundai owner is replacing parts with new ones from eBay. I think when you said, "...if you play it right..." you were saying if you do your own work and when you said it was no more expensive, you didn't place a value on your own labor.
I know I'm not comparing apples to apples, a Mercedes and a Hyundai are not apples to apples comparison IMO. I definitely would never say you can buy a new Mercedes or a new Hyundai and the cost of ownership will be about the same, that's just never going to happen, not anytime soon anyway. Yes you'll have to buy an older Mercedes, but it doesn't need to be considerably older, depending on the model anyway. My point wasn't that a new Benz will cost the same as a new Hyundai, my point was IF you play it right one can own a Mercedes for less than or the same as a new(ish) Hyundai, I probably shouldn't have said "anything else" as that's far too vague and one could always buy an older Hyundai and do their own maintenance and that's not going to cost as much as a Mercedes or BMW. I guess to sum it all up is I'd rather be driving a 5-7 year old Mercedes than a new or almost new Hyundai and I can do so for about the same money but I understand that is not going to be the same for everyone and that's fine too.
Greg, there are a lot of German Badge snobs who buy German (some buy Volvo) cars thinking they are better than local of Japanese, Korean cars. Your video above open their minds about non-German cars which equal if not exceed "perceived" German quality but can be purchased and maintained at lower prices.
EXACTLY! German cars are some of the best when it comes to comfort, performance, luxury, refinement, technology etc., but they have the *WORST* build quality, reliability and durability, and are INTENTIONALLY designed to fail and "turn to dust" after the warranty expires, so that they can sell you another new car.
So when you do the math that $120,000 Mercedes S Class actually costs *3 or 4 TIMES* what an $85,000 Lexus LS 460, that will give you 250,000+ miles of "bulletproof" reliable service, costs!!! This is evident in the resale values as well. Over the years, as people have finally "wisened up" to this, 10-year old German cars like the S-class become worth virtually "NOTHING", while a Lexus of similar vintage, holds its value like gold (relatively speaking).
That is why, Mercedes does not even offer a good extended warranty on their new products, and even the extremely shitty extended warranty they do offer (which excludes "this and that", and goes up to max of something like 75K miles (a complete joke), is super expensive. Goes to show that they don't have any confidence that their own product will last a decent amount of time!!
Great video. I had issues with the infotainment system in my 2009 V8 Genesis Sedan. Hyundai customer service wasn't helpful in resolving the matter.
2009 Hyundai Genesis here with the 3.8 V6. It’s got 120,000 miles thus far and it’s been very reliable. Would highly recommend as a very affordable used luxury car.
Really good advice about HWY miles, Never thought about it. Thanks
I own the v8..great car
Now at 115000 miles .
4.6? How has it been holding up? Is reliability good? Any major issues? I want to get an 09 for 7,500 with 122k miles but since it would be my next daily I’m not too sure how reliable it would be
@@obungapyramid5525 It's bulletproof. if you want power which I assume with a nice sporty style and luxury audio and comfort its a great buy. the electronics are hit or miss but most you can live without. NAVI backup camera and sunroof are common failures. I haven't gotten any and my car is at 91k. the alternator is known for issues but mine has been ok so far. the paint is ok but I would invest in a ceramic clearcoat asap as it's very thin and rock chips are very common. if the paint is clean the owner was a very caring owner. ask me any more questions. performance is ok because the factory slows the car down, eg shift patterns, torque management, throttle response timer. most of it but the manual option is where I would keep it in. and the economy is great I sometimes average 27 in colorado and seen it at 29 on a downhill highway. 10/10 would recommend, the aftermarket is small so insurance will love you.
Great job, I've always liked these cars, good valve
Mine has 145k on it with the 4.6 and this car has a ton of electrical issues. So far on mine ive had two front parking sensors go out, the sunroof went out, the rear curtain went out, backup camera went out, dynamic cruise control is wacky sometimes. All within two years. Other then that have not had any issues with mechanical stuff.
All cars have the ac condenser in front of the radiator for obvious reasons. I'm sure you were looking at the condenser and NOT the radiator.
owne the 2009 4.6 litre version. a little over a 100,000 miles and still runs very smoothly. Best investment i ever made. Never had a major issue. just my regular oil change and changes in break pads and air filters.
This is a great video. I'm keeping this in my library.
If you're going to compare the Genesis service costs with its German counterparts why not provide some actual dollar values from the dealerships for the scheduled as well as the typical non-scheduled services? In this way your argument would carry a lot more weight.
This video is 💯% accurate as my family has owned two Hyundais now, and both have gone well over 140k+ miles with just regular maintenance. The only Hyundais that don't last are the ones from the Bronx that get abused...y'all know what I'm talking about lol.
Drove our 2009 Genesis 3.8 cross country from Charleston, SC to Los Angeles in two and a half days..... 1,000 miles a day easily. Wouldn’t you know
I bled like a stuck pig in New Mexico day two after slicing my finger on the interior door latch.
Lmao
I just bought a used 2015 Genesis with 22K miles. It's soooo nice.
I got 150k in my 2012 Genesis 3.8 and still running strong. Suspension not as good as on a Benz, but Hyundai can run it on regular gas. If money was not an issue I would prefer the Benz, but for the 99% it is a better choice.
Thanks for the video I just bought one 2009 very nice car.i had the 2006 Hyundai azera and oh mine I love the car to the fullest
You must mean the Genesis. The first generation Azera was nice when new, but once it gets a lot of miles, not so much...
Shhhh, it's the best secret out here!
I was thinking of getting a 2013 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 v6 with no more than 25k and no less than 45k miles.. it's a really quick car for a v6 producing 333hp direct injection and 291 Torque .. it gets going..
In July 2016 I picked up a used 2012 Genesis with the 3.8 V6 331 HP. The only issue I had with it was the tranny had to be replaced. Since I was the second owner it was covered under warranty.
Kenji yeah that seems to be the most most problem is the tranny but once it's fixed it's okay again , please tell this audience that car one quick v6 , I owned one shit gets going quick 0-60 in 5.8-6 seconds .. the car is a sleeper especially with the tech package
mikexcanxjerk Its a great and fun car to drive, RWD is the way to go. Good speed and good handling.
mikexcanxjerk 2013 is the year to go with. I believe they made remote start standard for that year.
Have you heard about the 2018 Kia Stinger? Its definitely a challenger to the Genesis
I owned a 2009 Hyundai Genesis 4.6L with the Tech package. Brakes were soft for 53,000 miles before Hyundai admitted it with a recall. I also had a knocking on my engine. They replaced it at 75,000 with a brand new engine from Ontario CA factory. Even though I had these issues and many warranty replacements in the 110,000 miles I drove it, I absolutely loved that car. It was hard to part with it but I did and leased another Genesis, 2016 Ibiza Blue 3.6L Ultimate. I am at the end of this lease and considering the Kia version of the G80 or the G70, as in Cadenza or Stinger. The Genesis pricing has changed considerably, hence my attraction to Kia.
Genesis 2014 owner, miles just over 123456^*^. The only repair was the crome peeled off on gear shift lever, just like you described on door handle(warranty repair of course). Tire changed at 78k and tranny fluid changed at 79k. Oil changed at every 7.5k just as described in the manual. The car runs like new, all the electrics are working. Have had two honda odyssey, accord, bmw5, mercedes gl, infiniti qx and currently this and lexus rx. By far, this was the most reliable and comfortable vehicle i ever owned. Planning to keep it over 300k i hope!!!
I got a hundred and thirty-five thousand on my 2010 Gen coupe. It still looks like new and drives like new I love it.
After owning two 335i's and having to take them in every month for warranty repair. Owning a 535i and having the same issues, I couldn't wait to trade these badge cars. I own a 15 genisis and it's never been to the dealership, accept for free oil changes. Bought it new for 15 grand under sticker and have 50k miles in a little over 2 years. Not a single issue. Keep the badge..
if you want a car that will last and won't cost a fortune to fix... stay away away from the german stuff! the krautmobiles are junk.
In Europe, german cars are considered the best! You`r surprirising me!
As most people know. My company put me in 2 new M-Bs...nothing but trouble beginning in the first couple of weeks.
What kind of? Electronic i gues
@@kavajamusic5411 Maybe they are different in Germany. In the US, Audi, MB, BMW, Volkswagen are money pits. Especially, MB!

Really appreciate your video. Just bought a 2010 Sedan (Oct 2018) with just under 64000 miles. After watching your beautifully detailed review, I take great confirmation I got a 💎 in a car ESPECIALLY considering the mileage. Keep up the great work! ( Now I need to go look at thst radiator, hope it's dirty 😂)
Very old skool videography... but review makes a lot of sense. I'm a used car only buyer - don't see why I want to lose 30% value driving something off the showroom. Great to do more 100k reviews, and I'll watch em all. I have a Kia Forte 2010 (that i purchased in 2014) with 150,000km, and people ask me if its 2 or 3 years old. Keep it clean and well-maintained. Reading thru the comments I see lots of people have zero problems running Kia/Hyundais for years... very well-improved carmaker.
100,000 miles is not as big a deal as it use to be. I've owned a couple of Sonatas, with the same V-6 moter as this Genesis but sold them both before 110,000...loved them both and would buy another tomorrow but wouldn't expect a Hyundai to last over 200k without major repairs.
150-200K is when repairs get costly on these.
I bought a 2012 Genesis in 3017 with 82000 miles and now it has 135500 and in the 7 years thaat I have had this car no major problems, last month the battery need to be replaced that's over 6 years and the harmony balance start making noise so I had that replaced,no brake job,no tune-up and still going strong and by the way it's the 3.8 motor with plenty of power,will continue to drive it until it play out!
great review my friend, you made me decide to buy this genesis than a bmw 5 or 3 series
Voice channel volume not left/right balanced. Please fix. Thanks! Good tip btw.
Yes! This is especially jarring if listening through headphones.
+1 for this issue... it's so annoying!
+1, these reviews are great but the audio issue detracts from the overall quality!
We have fixed the audio!
Not really, i still don't get equal levels on left/right channel
I own a 2006 Hyundai Tucson Limited and it already has 105k miles and no major problems. A money well invested. It only had one recall regarding the air bag compared to my previous Ford vehicle which had multiple problems and numerous recalls. Wear and tear cosmetic wise it's expected.
I recently bought a 2011 4.6 V8 with 12.000 miles. Like new.
A pleasure to drive and plenty of power. Great seats.
The suspension could have had a bit more development. Not good on Los Angeles potholes.
My baby is a 2010 4.6 with 116,000 miles and she drives like I first got her ! No problems at all ! Regular maintenance
I still have my 2010 4.6 Genesis. she looks and drives brand new. Star Cruiser we call her
How many miles on it now?
Just wanted to say what a great and helpful review thank you!
My gosh I really hated that wood trimp on Genesis. I got the black leather version and it looks much nicer.
How’s the car been over the last 3 years?
As of today (12/19/2017), im running 160,000+miles on odo
I will be keep this car until 200,000miles for sure.(maybe until car die)
I bought this as new, since then never had a issue, not even once
Fill it up 91gas
Change the oil with Mobile 1 Synthetic
Using all oem parts
Very very reliable car
Im on genesisowners forum
I've seen lots of people have already hit 200,000miles +
2people i saw hit 400,000+ miles
Same here...I'm the original owner of a '12 Genesis. 139,000 miles later no major issues. Turn signal handle came loose at 90k and the warranty covered it. Haven't even changed the brakes. I take the car to the dealer for all oil changes and routine maintenance. Have driven this car from TX to NY and back. BEST car I have ever owned hands down. When this one finally is ready to go I will probably replace it with another used Genesis to keep as a daily driver. Also, love that is takes regular gas. Hope to get 300K miles out of the current car.
Updates!
The car hit 220k +
Still no issue
Which year model and trim is yours?
@@TheMadRunner00 2009 genesis edan v6 technology pkg
A really interesting and informative video,,many many thanks,😀👍
I love how you guys pronounce this marque. HUNDAY, like Monday. We say Hi-yun-dai
Who's we? Most Americans (Muricans?) have a hard time with saying it how it's actually supposed to be pronounced. Think of the word hue, but instead of a long u sound like in true, think of a shorter u sound like in sun. So go back to hue, but with a short u sound, and then add an n to that sound. Then add dai to it, but instead of it sounding like day, it actually sounds like the first part of the word dai-ry or dai-ly. Of course, the Koreans knew that Americans couldn't be bothered with actually pronouncing it correctly, assuming that they even could, so they just let it go. Kind of like some Spanish words/names are completely butchered in English, but since Latinos have experienced it for decades or longer, it's not just changing and they just accept it and even pronounce the words the same way themselves when speaking to white people, basically...
I just got a 100k mile, 2010 Yaris for under $4k great condition, feels solid and looks like it can go twice as long as that. Plus excellent MPG's. Best used car I have ever purchased.
Yea just don't crash you tin can... if you want to live...
Gee, thanks for your concern! FYI It has more airbags than my older tin can, so I should be ok.
Air bags wont save you when the car looses its rigidity... The Yaris is a death trap with or with out air bags your car will be crushed with you inside...
Then the wife will get all the insurance money, fix herself up and get a new, younger beau. Everyone comes out ahead. Maybe I'll start driving recklessly, thanks for the advice.
Car Reviews the Yaria is a beer can on wheels... The Yaris is at the bottom of the crash survival rate...
Good information. thanks,
I got rid of a 2012 Mustang GT that lived at the repair shop for a 2014 Hyundai Veloster Turbo. The Hyundai has not had a single issue in the 2 years I have had it and it is just a way better car outside of the power of the Ford. I don't regret that trade one bit.
I'm a big Kia/Hyundai fan-boy.
This video pleases me. :3

Im thinking of getting a hyundai genesis coupe are they reliable? If never had one nor has anyone in my family so im just wondering
my cousin has a genesis coupe v6. what are you looking for? it has nice power, nice handling, he hasn't complained about it. the only thing is, he also uses it during winter, and even with winter tires he does get stuck still. If you're somewhere with mostly sun... i'd recommend it, as they are getting cheaper by the year!
Carlos - I would highly recommend the Coupe. I purchased a new 2012 2.0 turbo and the car has 137K miles now and is still my daily driver. Only repair has been a left window regulator. My mileage was not as advertised in the beginning but now I get 27 mpg - i had to get to 80K miles to get it "broken in.'
Me too! They're so stylish inside and out, have great ergonomics, are reliable, have great warranties, have a very high quality feel, and are cheaper than the competition. They're just incredible!
Michael Morrow I take it that the 2.0 turbo is a 4cyl? And when you say 27mpg, is that city?
This guy can actually pronounce Hyundai. So I say he’s pretty knowledgeable
I bought a 2013 new and the transmission went out and was replaced (under warranty) at 55k miles. Sold it.
Was yours a V6 or V8 model?
The warranty on this car is out of this world, 10yr/100k miles on a V8 which is crazy
Own a kia sportage for 8 years with almost 300k miles on it now. Zero problems with just regular maintenance. Looking to get a used g80 as my next car when they depreciate enough lol.
Can’t say that I’m a fan of the vest
Saw an 09 V6 with 197000 miles run through an auction for $2700 .Decent shape and ran well with no smoke or funny noises from engine
Got a 09 genesis with 131,000 miles in it and still running strong. No leaks doesnt bien oil and havnt gotten any check engine light at all great car to own
Hyundai Genesis is awesome, the V6 and V8, reliability is a 10, gorgeous interior and exterior. These engines can last to 800,000 Miles easily with rountine maintenance.
I had a 2008 Mercedes Benz CSL550 that had the EXACT problem with the chrome plating on the inside door handles (and yes, I cut myself too).
The interior looks like one out of a Lexus from the 90's
Hyundai is VERY good at taking styling (and design/engineering) cues from other very nice car shapes and mfrs. The car in the video has a distinct blend of BMW and Lexus styling accents, and it pulls it off really well. The wheels, rear deck/lights, front grille and headlights are all nice adaptations of BMW and Lexus.
And that driver seat looks like they got in the car, drove 100,00 miles straight, then got out. Beautiful.
Stay gold.
dnl machine engineering? Your an idiot. Other car companies take their engineering. They used to copy others like all asian manufacturers did and the Chinese still do. Since 2010 they have changed. The redesign o the G80 or the Genesis sedan in this case was built in 2008 as an 09 model. Look at all the Lexus and BMW styling in those cars in the mid 2000s to late 2000s they were all very similar to this car but they were all redesigned before the Genesis which came late and was updated in 2014.
I'm not a fan of the interior, however, I love this car so much
Hey dude! Thanks for the advice. LOVE THE VEST!
You forgot to mention that the 2012+ models engines were revised upping the power.
333Hp and 291Tq.
Also gaining a better bump up in MPGs with a new 8sp automatic transmission from the previous models 6sp.
They also revised front headlights, adding a LED daytime running light.
Love this ride.
My only issues with this car, is the electronically control gas pedal.
It doesn't provide a good feeling and has delay reaction times.
Not such a big isses, but even though it has a 7way stereo system.
The sound quality is not satisfactory enough. (Generic Speakers)
It should be and could be better.
Would I recommend this car... HELL YEAH. 👍🏼
Nice car, good reliability smooth ride, plenty of power, and especially could get one for a nice low used car prIce.
Compared to other used cars in this price range, Ya cant go wrong.
Genesis > Civic, Accord, Focus, Cobalt, Camry, Dart, Altima, Maxima, Mailbu, Etc.....
I'm picking up my 2011 4.6ltr tomorrow from CarMax it only has 49k and I'm getting it for 10,500 that includes the original Hyundai 100,000 mile warranty. What a deal for a car that's fuckin loaded and near 400 🏇. I'm putting a Borla exhaust things gonna purrrr
If the most significant issues with the car is plating coming off the door and wear on the gear knob then this is a car to buy . . .as the owner of a 6 year old BMW which I have had since new I dream about only having to deal with issues that trival
I work on a LOT of Hyundai's and yes, the Genesis sedan is a good car. Solid, safe, and reliable. Not a lot of luxury car options on the early ones. Except for the push button start, anything on this particular car had could have been on any leather equipped car in 2009. Nav wasn't even standard:(
Owned an '06 Tucson.
Reliable and decently comfy.
Seems like Hyundai was just beginning to turn a corner in that era into a more substantial product.
Small reminders bumper to bumper on the Tucson, in and out that showed they still had a ways to go.
That vehicle is still going strong with over 100k on the clock and only minor repairs.
A friend of mine took it over when I bought a 2011 Ford Escape.
Needed the bit of extra space.
I personally think that Hyundai needs to ditch their little cartoon-looking badge, the weird 'H' that I read is supposed to symbolize two businessmen shaking hands.
Or, maybe it was salesman and buyer.
Whichever, that badge makes an otherwise quality car look cheap and disposable, which they were in the beginning.
The winged Genesis emblem looks sharp and, along with the name, evokes quality and forward thinking somehow.
I'd put my money on a Hyundai or Kia over anything GM or the Fiat/Chrysler group has now.
"Fix It Again Tony" partnered with the perfect company in Chrysler.
2013 3.8 sedan 173,824 on her so far only big maintenance has been battery and alternator I have owned the vehicle since 2015 and have put over 100,000 on her. Quicker than any v6 sedan in its market
