Positive Review

"Great value, great driving dynamics!"

Own AWD with base options and can't find any fault in the car. Have had Acura TL, Lexus GS, and Infiniti G37 and I would choose this car over those in a heartbeat. Drives really smooth and has a plenty of HP to speed up when needed, and has a decent mpg. Interior-wise, can fit two baby car seats in the back with a plenty of room and has a very, very quiet cabin space.

Critical Review

"My 3rd Genesis sedan, Will I ever learn!"

Do yourself a favor and steer clear! Just try to use the mechanical key for starters. You have to first remove a cheap plastic cover, if you can find it. Mine broke in half when removing it. The owner's manual has error after error. And the beat goes on! I have spent enough time trying to warn you, but I know you won't listen.

One Fine Auto!

I have always driven Lexus sedans of the 400 series, but when they change the grill, I decided to buy something else. I usually traded every three years per new car. I found this 2016 genesis sedan new and now have owned it eight years! I had no problems with it, good gas, mileage, and loaded with trinkets that Mercedes and Lexus put in their large cars. Not sure that I will sell this one as it is like new. Highly recommend Genesis automobiles.

Genesis - The best luxury car for the price
Pros

Very comfortable and impressively powerful

Cons

Low to the ground

This is the best car I've ever owned. From the comfort of the leather seats to the impressively powerful engine, it does everything well. The controls and display are exactly where I like them to be. I think I'm a Genesis owner for life!

Excellent vehicle inside and out!!
Pros

Great quality in materials, craftsmanship and fuel

Cons

Auto high beam & truck open higher when key near

This is one of the absolute best vehicles I have owned. Maintenance is reasonable and if it's performed as recommended the car is very reliable. I just replaced my original battery. Whenever I get the car washed it still looks amazing and gets looks & comments. A great buy!! I have owned several BMW's 5 series, which I loved but as they age the maintenance gets very expensive. To get a headlight replaced was several hundred dollars. The Genesis is considerably less expensive to maintain and uses 87 octane gas!

Better than my Bimmer
Pros

Powerful and pretty

Cons

She was totaled

Takes regular gas!!!! It is the only luxury vehicle I know of that takes regular gas. Highway mileage was great good and this car made it cross country with me and back with no problems. Had a fluke transmission issue early in my ownership but it did not stop me from calling this hands-down the best car I’ve ever owned. I had a BMW 530 I prior to this car. My Genesis a.k.a. Ginny had all the same bells and whistle’s and more For a fraction of the price in maintenance and ownership. I would buy this car again tomorrow The panoramic sunroof and the Genesis logo puddle lamps were just a couple of options that really made her stand out. I just lost it in a total loss accident and she also kept me safe in a very dangerous head on collision. Best car I’ve ever owned. Period.

Electrical issues after 15k miles
Pros

looks like a BMW 5 series inside

Cons

electrical problems galore

endless electrical problems after 15 miles. From sunroof, to sun screen, to backup camera, and more. Endless. Don't be seduced by "value". Audi-like electrical problems.
