Nice car for the money

Purchased CPO at valley dealership Car was loaded with all tech and packages for that model year. Car runs fine and I have had no major issues. The car does eat batteries if not driven regularly. On third battery now and use trickle charger if not be driven for extended period.

3.8 is a GREAT car, but...

Great car! Has a lot of standard features and is an excellent value. But in the Northeast, you will need snow tires especially if you're using the car as a daily driver. All in all, the Michelins that come on the vehicle (18) are very good, but over 6 inches of snow and look out!!

2012 Genesis -- Good Car, but Premature Transmission Failure

Have been happy overall with my 2012 Genesis, but failure of the transmission at 6-yrs and 78K miles is a concern. However, due to Hyundai's 10-yr, 100K mile warranty on the power train, it was replaced under warranty. Otherwise, I think the car is great: refined, powerful, economical.

Awesome car with a few minor flaws.

I really enjoy my Genenis 5.0 RSpec. However besides that center control knob keeps breaking and unable to find some really great brakes then I have to give it 9.5 stars out of 10 in overall satisfaction. Awesome car to own.

We love our 2012 Genesis, great performance

This vehicle had all the right options, performance and luxury compared to the high end priced vehicles as BMW, Mercedes, Audi...it blows them away on price. Quite honestly all cars today are way overpriced so why spend a fortune on those other vehicles when you have great quality and looks for a lot less. Not to make this vehicle perfect, we've had some issues in the 6 1/2 years we've had it but all have been electronic issues. With all the technology in today's vehicles I highly recommend purchasing the extended warranty because most of the repairs have been over $1000.00 each time. I f you are not going to keep the car for a long period then don't buy the warranty.

Great

It’s luxury . It’s expensive.its nice interior and exterior. A lot of great features. You can cruise or style in it. The tag and the oil change cost on this vehicle than my previous car. The texture and color of the exterior and interior .the sunroof to the navigation system. I love the car.

2012 Genesis

The car is comfortable and a pleasure to drive. While the gas mileage is rather poor at 13mpg it isn't really a problem given that we drive only about 10K mi/yr. Overall, we've been pleased with the car. The positives include efficient air conditioning, comfortable adjustable seats with seat heaters. Pleasant design. And several other positives, too numerous to list. The negatives include the fact that we had to have the transmission replaced at about 35K mi., but it was under the warranty. The driver's side view mirror is located in such a position that it blocks the street level view when making left turns. This makes it a bit dicey when we have to make left turns. The blue tooth doesn't always connect correctly, and the navigation system is close to worthless when searching for destinations to set and actually setting them. Adjusting the maps is kinda hit or miss. Adjusting the guidance volume is also problematic when it comes to adjusting it without changing the radio volume while driving. You have to keep going back to settings to make the adjustment. And, finally, the owner's manual is a joke: Try to find where the battery is located. Figure out how to change the windshield wipers without going to you tube. Find where the trunk release is on the trunk itself. Find which fuses control which circuits, and where are the fuses located. There's an entire category of "If ..." Really?

2012 Genesis Review

Very comfortable; adequate power. A bit small. Missing a few comforts; no heated steering wheel, no blind spot warning system, no cooled passenger seat, not able to sync music from phone, back seat belts are challenging for middle passenger. Adaptive cruise control is EXCELLENT; memory seats and mirrors a plus; parking assist is very valuable; appreciate six disc cd changer. Re-sale value is problematic!

Before this Genesis we drove 3 Lincoln Town Cars, we bought 2 of them from Ladin.

We love the Genesis. It's comfortable, drives nicely and it's big enough for 4. Our grandsons are getting too big to ride in the backseat. One is 6'4" and the other one is 6'5". I don't have any more to say.

2012 R-spec

The car burns oil and I just put a new transmission in the car. Cost me 4 k. I hit the gas then let off then hit the gas again this toasted my trans. Other than that I love the car. Thanks for making an alternative to a charger

My 2012 R-Spec - Short for RESPECT!!!

I purchased my car new and have eclipsed 155k miles thus far. Overall, I have been very pleased with this purchase and love this car. I have dealt with a few issues and think I would have enjoy the entertainment system in the 2013 more due to the advanced features. However, the amenities, power and comfort has been a joy. Additionally, my service at Dennis Hyundai in Dublin, Ohio has consistently be great. I am a Genesis fan and definitely have a G80 on my short list. Oh yeah, 8 years later and people still look and stare trying to figure out what i'm driving. Great conversation piece-:)

Better than the Euro Cars

I've bought two Genesis Sedans from Ourisman and during that time had all of my service done at Ourisman. The current service reps are courteous and they keep you apprised of service progress. The overall service department needs better waiting area and more room for customers at the service counter. It's a very cramped area.

Good Car

My 2012 Genesis has been a great car. Would never have dreamed that it would get an average of 32 miles per gallon on the highway. Only disappointment was that the front passenger seat did not have a very large range of control positioning. My wife has been very upset with that as her 2001 Toyota accord had the full range of positioning.

Ok

I'm very satisfied with this car I bought a used and 2015 with 22,000 MI 6 years 80000 miles later the only thing I had to replace was the alternator at a fuel pump and both were under warranty. Now customer service at the dealership San. The mechanic shops is something you'll definitely have to work for on

Genesis 2012 Review

I still enjoy my 2012 Genesis, and the service provided to me by Porter Hyundai , from whom I purchased my car 9 years ago. My only issues are the RVD in my car which means that I can't drive in any snow, also Porter Hyundai does not sell Genesis vehicles anymore. I may be looking to purchase a Genesis SUV in 2022 or2023.

Big and strong but not subtle.

The 2012 Genesis is not absolute fun, but it did save us when we needed to be saved… Sorry, but if you ever get sideswiped at 70 MPH, the strength, endurance and character of your vehicle will get tested….
