GENESIS

Side view mirror in for service once and new part was ordered and installed. Mirror fell out again. New mirror was ordered and installed again. So far so good. This is our second genesis. The first one was a 2009 and was an excellent car. Wish I would have kept it. The 2016 is a good car. it drives and handles well. Power is good. Seats could be more comfortable. They are adequate but not as comfortable as other cars we have owned. I will likely buy another Genesis or Hyundai but won't lease again. I was told that it would be cheaper but I don't believe it.

Happy and Sad

Very happy with the ride, heated seats, heated steering wheel and many other amenities in the car. The lease price was really great, probably because it was a new car on the market. Not so happy about the non-power trunk which I understand is now available in the newer vehicles. One really bad feature is the navigation about which I can only say, Google the address before you leave home. This is a serious problem and I speak from experience, this navigation system is not good. Preferred driving settings should be retained, for example if Economy setting is picked it should be retained, instead the system always returns to regular setting at each start-up

2016 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Sedan Review

Good car, fairly well built, not up to MBZ or Audi, but good. Better than Buick. I would compare it more to a Buick. Poor MPG, poor throttle response, poor transmission shift response. A poser, wanna be, not there yet, could be, possibly. Need a better corporate attitude, they need to listen better and respond to their customers, or they will lose what they haven't acquired yet - a brand loyal customer base.

Not Impressed

I thought I purchased a high end luxury vehicle. The car has been omitting a foul odor since I purchased the car back in October. When I run the diagnostic on blue link it tells me to service the EPB.The dealership tells me they cleared the code on a previous visit. I was expecting more.

Gorgeous car...but complicated tech, and issues with driver's seat frame and support.

I just took my 2016 Genesis in for the third time to replace the broken plastic frame that supports the driver's seat. Yesterday, as I left the car, the seat support cracked again..I'm not that heavy..This is 4 times now.

For the price, leaves something to be desired.

The car itself LOOKS gorgeous!!! This car can definitely get out of it's own way. It's only 3 yrs old and needed cosmetic repair for cracking and breaking trim, knobs, and handle. My question is if it's not even 3yrs old, what's gonna happen in another 3 yrs??? The seats themselves, even though they are leather feel cheap to sit in. I feel like I'm sitting in our old $20,000 sonata,not a $40,000 car!!

Build Quality

Overall we really like the genesis. The ride is great, the vehicle has good power, the vehicle appearance inside and out is excellent, etc. What I find disappointing is the number of warranty issues I have had with the vehicle. While many of the problems have been minor, I would not expected this from Hyundai’s flagship vehicle with only 52,000 miles on the odometer. I had far better experience. As I approach the end of the warranty, I hope all the issues will go away. My comments only apply to the vehicle; O’Brien Hyundai has been excellent to work with.

2016 Hyundai Genesis AWD

Overall an awesome vehicle, everything works so well together. The exterior styling mimics luxury cars costing twice as much, and the interior quality is on par with the top European brands. Performance is surprisingly good for a large comfortable sedan. I love this car.

Genesis

Great vehicle - would recommend to others - wait for 5 years or so to learn about reliability (mine 2012 and 2013 Genesis reliability is excellent) Want smoother ride, less noise, and automatic seat adjustment preset button (with the first package)

2016 Genesis 3.8 HTRAC Ultimate Addition

I owned the 2015 3.8 HTRAC Ultimate addition and I can tell you from personal experience the 2016 was a vast improvement. Better handling and ride quality. I had a lot of issues with the 2015 model from headlights just turning off at night, to a creeking passenger side front door that the dealership took apart three times and still could not fix it. An improvement to the ventilated seats (still needs to upgraded to AC instead of just blowing air). Fog lamps being available was a welcome addition (should have been included in the first place for what the car cost). Daytime running lights are definatley better looking than the 2015 two yellow daytime running lights. The radar system for the cruise control still has some issues (takes to long to see vehicles in front of the car and apply brakes). The biggest oversight for the 2016 model is the missing Apple Car Play. It's only available on the 8 inch not the 9 inch (Who does that? Upgrade your lower end vehicles first?) Not to mention a charge of $50 bucks to have the dealer install it if it's available for your vehicle is outrageous. I have purchased/leased 5 Hyundais since 2012 and I am about to trade them all in for a different brand due to these crazy business practices. Is the person making the decisions actually driving the Genesis? To make a real world decision that makes sense. I was going to purchase a G70 when they came out, but after the problems with the 2015 Genesis sedan I will probably trade in my Genesis 2016 for a reliable Lexus.

Great effort by Hyundai.

Our 2016 Genesis if a pleasure to drive, but not very spirited as we have also owned Mercedes Benz and BMW's in the past. it is built well, and offer an unbeatable warranty, which was the main facto of our purchase. Pricing was also a factor per options available standard and the pricing of upgrading these option packages. We love the car and get many stares as we drive by places. We get asked a lot of questions as well, many do not believe it is indeed a Hyundai.

Phantom Sensor Alerts at Traffic Lights

Engine: Lag and not as responsive (compared Benz, etc.); handling not as tight (compared to BMW). Other than this, the value for this vehicle is excellent compared to other luxury brands in terms of TCO and fuel efficiency. My vehicle (perhaps there are others also) seems to experience a false positive with the proximity sensors. I can be sitting at a traffic light with nothing around me and suddenly, the proximity sensors start beeping and then suddenly stop. This is clearly some sort of problem but its been classified as intermittent by the dealer and there aren't any recalls on this matter. Hopefully, it won't replicate now that I've brought it into the dealer.
