  4.6 w/Tech - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Tech Junkie - July 15 - 2:34 pm

  This car blows me away - its worth every penny, the technology is top-notch, the interior is unbelievable. Its quiet, comfortable, and tons of power. My only complaint (reason for 9 in comfort) is road noise from the Dunlops and a little stiffer ride than I would have expected. Aside from this, its still one of the quietest cars Ive been in. Wing badges are essential, but leave the flying H on if you really want to raise eyebrows. HD radio = awesome. XM = not really all that awesome after listening to HD. Navigation works very well. Seats are VERY comfortable for me even at 66" and over 300lb. Best of all = wife loves it.

  Im Impressed - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Marshall - July 14 - 2:28 pm

  The 4.6 Hyundai replaced my lease expired Chrysler 300 Hemi. The Hyundai is a better driving car and has more luxury features. The ride is smoother and quieter, the quietness being my first impression when I test drove the car. I dont think it has quite the acceleration of the Chrysler, but way more than enough for the traffic situations I drive in. The Hyundai exterior design is not as impressive as the Chrysler, but the interior is beautiful. The car is loaded with a surprising amount of luxury features, for the price. The car is as roomy as the Chrysler and has as much trunk space. The seats are well designed for comfort. Driver controls and pushbottons are readily accessible.

  Elated by this car! - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By RJJZOhio - July 12 - 9:15 am

  I cant say enough good things about this car. 8,000 miles so far and not a single problem. Performance is awesome, handling is very good and the ride, for my standards is just perfect. I have owned BMWs and a Mecedes before this car and never thought I would buy a Hyundai. Well, I dont think Ill ever waist $30K again just for the sake of a Euro label. This car is in every way that matters to me, a better car. I simply love it!

  It is a very good car for the price. - 2009 Hyundai Genesis

  You can not find a better deal than the Hyundai Genesis. I actually think that Hyundai is subsidizing this car in the United States to raise their image in North America and abroad. If people can not appreciate a 60K dollar car that is priced at just 33K dollars, what will make American customers satisfied?

  What a GREAT car - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Luvthisgenny - July 9 - 9:00 pm

  Have been waiting for 3 months to write this... Have had the car for over 3 months now, over 10,000KM driven already. Cant wait to drive it everyday. The acceleration is silky smooth. It has tons of power,(375HP) tons of torque, it handles GREAT! Im amazed how good this car brakes! Interior is very upscale, fit and finish is superb. IMO, Tech package is worth it. Gotta stop putting so many positives cause you wont believe what Im saying. Dont try this car unless youre ready to buy it. Countless times people asking me what car this is. Amazed at how many rubber necks while driving are looking at the car...I have put the winged logos in the back and front. Hyundai...GREAT job

  Deteriorating after 10K Miles, - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By NOT HAPPY - July 9 - 10:41 am

  I may be one of the unlucky ones. After 10K miles rattles and creaking have started to surface and they are getting worse. Especially one loud RATTLE from the rear end. Doesnt sound like a $40K car any more. My old Jeep made less noise. Registered my issues with Hyundai. Hope the rest of you dont wind up like me. Killed the fun.

  What a great car at an Awesome price. - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Rick S - July 8 - 11:13 pm

  I have had the car since Sept 2008. I was very apprehensive about buying a Hyundai but loved the look and styling of the car. After the test drive and reading many reviews I was convinced to take the leap. 3 months later I am still amazed and loving this car. I have owned Lexus & Cadillac but this is my favorite yet.

  One Beautiful Car - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Canadian Car - July 6 - 8:49 pm

  I bought this vehicle in Jan after looking at Lincoln, Maxima, Chrysler 300 of which I had a 2005 and it seems a million others and this one came out on top every time. I have not had to go back to the dealer once since I have bought this car and people are always asking me about it. I have the 3.8 with the premium pkg and would not change it for any other car.

  Hyundais arrived - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Dave - July 3 - 10:50 am

  After researching luxury vehicles for over 8 months, I decided on the Genesis. I bought the 4.6 with the tech package in February when they became available in my area. Boy am I glad I bought this instead of the Lexus LS 460. Same car for 30-40K less. While the Lexus ride is smoother, Genesis matches most everything else. Why pay more? I put the Korean badging on it and enjoy watching the rubber-neckers wonder what type of car it is.

  Youll be surprised ! - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Frank J - July 2 - 6:30 pm

  I have only just purchased this car, and I must tell you, it is FAST. I have been driving an MB e500 and it is faster off the blocks and seems to have the same feeling that there is no end to how fast the car can go. It has all the high tech gadgets which are remarkably easy to operate especially by someone like me that eschews reading instructions and following complicated manuals. DO NOT TEST DRIVE the 4.6 unless you are prepared to buy this car when you return to the dealership.
