  • Great 1st year, not so much now - 2015 Hyundai Genesis
    By -

    Ive had my 2015 AWD 3.8 V6 Hyundai Genesis with the Ultimate Package now for a little over 1 year. Within the last 3 months, the car has developed numerous extremely annoying rattles, clunks, thuds, popping and creaking sounds inside the cabin anytime the body flexes or encounters bumps. I cant tell where they are all originating from: dash, door, sunroof, or trunk. Its very disappointing that an otherwise fine vehicle is plagued with these kinds of problems. This is my first Hyundai (and probably last) vehicle and the problems Im now experiencing were my worst fear prior to purchasing. They make the car feel and sound cheap and are practically impossible to fix, let alone find. The build quality just isnt there yet. Other gripes: 1. Front bumper too low frequently scraped from simply entering and backing out of driveway. 2. Not enough headroom. 3. Not enough heat felt in foot area. 4. Driver side door takes more effort to close than passenger doors. 5. Side view mirrors too high obstructing vision. 6. Limited rear view. 7. Seat cushions too hard. 8. Noisy and rough riding Hankook tires. For a car in this class, Hyundai has a long way to go in my opinion. In particular, the cabin should be the focus and should be much quieter and completely devoid of ANY rattles, squeaks, clunks, thuds, popping or creaking sounds.

  • Excellent Highway Cruiser - 2015 Hyundai Genesis
    By -

    An excellent cruiser. I have a long commute and I set the adaptive cruise control and this car pretty much drives itself. The ride and seats are supremely comfortable. It is NOT, however, a "fun to drive" car. It is too big and heavy. The grill is the finest looking grill I have seen (Yes it looks like a cross between an Audi and Aston Martin to me). It is very well equipped and is 15k-20k cheaper than the German alternatives. One cant even get a C class (which is an inferior car strait up against this Genesis) equipped similarly for anything near this car.

  • Good but annoying.. - 2015 Hyundai Genesis
    By -

    Wrote a review last year after driving my 3.8 Genesis for about 1000 miles. After about 4000 miles and the weather turning colder in Michigan, I noticed popping and cracking sounds coming from the sunroof, in the rear and front. I have an ultimate package. Because the car is so quiet it really stands out and is very annoying. Happens constantly when there is minor shifting of the cars weight, in addition to driving over bumps. Took it to the dealer who had no resolution to the problem. My next move is to contact Hyundai directly. Shame because it is a nice car but hard to positively compare it to the Germans luxury models.

  • My issues with the Genesis - 2015 Hyundai Genesis
    By -

    I bought the 2015 AWD Genesis on Memorial day in 2014. Wonderful great looking extremely beautiful car. I was going to buy the 5 series and bought the Genesis instead because of its value for money and Hyundais superb warranty program. After having the car for 8 months, having driven it for just about 2k miles I have some concerns about the car. The leather in my car has been deteriorating with time, more than expected, more than I have ever noticed in my other vehicles. Also, the reading light LED inside the car have failed in the first week of buying the car. Hyundai helped me through it but it still upsets me when I think about the issues I had.
