Review

Fun to drive and wonderful on long freeway trips. average mpg is 24. The 4.6 V8 has very good acceleration, 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds, leaves BMWs in its dust. Very good seats and easy to get in and our of. The adaptive cruise is the one of the best features.

Best luxury car value

Vehicle

2011 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 6A)

Review

Looked at BMW, Mercedes, and Audi, then I drove the Hyundai Genesis. Found everything I wanted for $20,000 less in the Genesis! The Hyundai Genesis is truly amazing. For not much more than a fully loaded Accord or Camry, you get a luxurious car with the interior space of a BMW 7, the exterior size of a BMW 5, at less cost than a BMW 3. And you get a 17-speaker Lexicon sound system that is found on only one other car in the world: the Rolls Royce Phantom. The Hyundai Genesis is far and away your best luxury car value.

Huge value for your money...

Vehicle

2011 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 6A)

Review

This car is simply amazing. I looked at 50 cars and test drove a dozen before buying this car. I had my list down to the A6 and Genesis. While the A6 is a great car, a comparably equipped Genesis was 20K less than the A6 (in fact the Genesis has a cooled driver's seat which is not even an option for on the highest trim A6). I've had my Genesis for a month and no trouble at all: it's fast and smooth. The only reason not the buy this car over BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Audi, Jaguar, Infiniti, Acura is brand name. I'm not that vain, and don't care what my neighbors think. If the Hyundai logo on the tail bothers you, you can replace it with wings for $100, it makes the car look like a Bentley.

WONDERFUL CAR!!!!!

Vehicle

2011 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Have owned Volvo, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Mercedes and Infiniti over the years. This car is as good or better than any of them. Bought 3.8 with Premium package (no navi) for 31,343.00 (sticker at $36,500 including $1500 Hyundai incentive). For this price so much better than Maxima, LaCrosse, Taurus, C-Class, E-350. Drives as sommoth as my lexus but has more road feel. Driven over 2,000 miles and cannot say enough good..quiet, responsive, great handling. I am 6'3" and have headroom. BUY THIS CAR!!!

WORST Ride EVER

Vehicle

2011 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 6A)

Review

The 2011 Hyundai Genesis is the WORST riding car I have EVER owned. It even makes smooth roads feel rough! It is no luxury to feel like you're in an airplane during extreme turbulence.

Great car

Vehicle

2011 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I have owned my Genesis for over three months and love this car. I have had four BMW 5 series and this car comparesfavorably in every way to the much more expensive 5 series. In addition, it has more interior room, features, better interior quality and so far reliability. The last BMW Iowned was a 2008 535I which was nothing but trouble with the twin turbo engine and electronics. The only thing this car does not have is a luxury badge but everything else about the car is on par with or better than the best in the luxury class.

Wouldn't Buy Another One

Vehicle

2011 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 6A)

Review

The drive train on this one is awful. The car has a difficult time finding the right gear. As a result it is always shifting. Shifts aren't smooth and many times the transmission tries to catch up with the engine, resulting in a lurch forward. The cruise control can't keep a steady speed. The engine is extremely noisy. My 2002 Infinity I35 is twice the car this one is. Also the radio doesn't show the artist and title of songs played. This is ten year old technology folks. I would not buy another one.

2011 Genesis

Vehicle

2011 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I have now had my new 2011 Genesis for 1 week. I got it at Jim Hudson Hyundai in Columbia SC. I got the base 3.8 V6 with no options. I will not give the exact price but I was out the door for under $30,000. Price aside, it is truly a wonderful car. I am in my upper 30's and I feel like a teenager again when I drive this thing. Being excited about driving is something I had forgotten about until last week. I also love the attention this car affords. I have had so many compliments and typically the reaction is WOW, I did not know Hyundai made such a nice vehicle. I did research for weeks and the only thing people can say bad about this vehicle is that they don't get the prestige. Get this car!

Review

I purchased my 2011 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 from Dave Edwards Hyundai, Spartanburg, SC. The dealership is one of the best I have done business with. The car is truly outstanding in every respect. Color is Titanium Gray Metallic with Saddle leather interior. Traded in 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited purchased from same dealer. I really liked the Sonata but after driving the Genesis it was impossible to resist the purchase.

Great value, Refined with class

Vehicle

2011 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 6A)

Review

Just picked up a 2011,V8 today, Black with tan interior. First of all , got a super deal on a 3 yr lease. The warranty that is offered is tough to beat. The car has great looks and is surprisingly roomy inside. I shopped BMW, which I really like, but the cost savings on the Genesis were hard to ignore.
