  2009 Auto of the Year for good reason! - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By CommanderSea - February 19 - 1:36 pm

  I researched this auto in depth prior to purchase. After driving it, I traded my Corvette for it! 375HP, accel that pulls "Gs", Beautiful finish, luxury leather, 1500 mile trip: 27.5mpg at 70mph. Quiet, cool, beautiful, people ask me if its the new BMW/Mercedes/Infiniti--they cannot believe it when they see the Hyundai emblem! Acoustics are phenomenal, tech package is a must! I LOVE MY GENESIS!!

  Ride is busy.. reflecting a stiffer suspension than the Azera. Rear seats do not fold. No passenger seat memory. Rear leg room limited for a 115 in wheelbase. Interior is nicely finished. Cassette tape player not included.

  Good and bad - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Mikey - January 9 - 10:16 am

  I have been impressed since the first ad I saw. Visited the dealership just to see the interior and I was amazed with the fit and finish. Bought a V6 with all the bells and whistles the next day. 2 weeks, 500 miles later I was at the repair center because the stereo was wigging out. They replaced the $4K head unit which made no difference. Now they are replacing the amp hoping that will fix it. The alignment has been pulling to the left since I bought it and they supposedly fixed that too. Nope, still pulls left. Beautiful, comfortable, fun car but they still need to work out the kinks.

  By kapa75 - December 8 - 10:00 am

  I LOVE my new Genesis. It is the perfect vehicle. I just purchased the V8 Tech package Genesis and I could not be happier. It is a pleasure to drive. I find myself just going for a drive to no where specific. I love it. A+++++++++ I recommend that anyone interested in this type of vehicle at least go look and drive a Genesis. You will absolutely love it

  Hyundai won this battle. - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Jose Machado - November 24 - 10:36 pm

  I bought my car a couple days ago and I can tell you that this a nice car, I compared this car with the Lexus gs 350 and the Infiniti g35 and the handling, ride and quietness of this car is superior.

  Why pay 60k+ - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By WillyB - November 15 - 2:23 pm

  I just got out of my 2002 S-500 sport M Benz. This car has it all! BMW,Lexus,Audi,Infinit, Mbenz all better watch out. This car is the real deal. I have always driven high line flagship cars and this is one awesome tight smooth killer looking car. Hyundai has the complete package with this quiet sleek machine. I highly suggest you give this car a test drive if your considering spending 30k to 40k on a ride. This is the complete package with out killing your wallet.

  Pleasure to Drive - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Photo1 - September 25 - 8:03 pm

  I was ready to buy a new civic...but this thing blew me away and forced me to change my game plan. Have owned many cars and currently have a 528i in the garage. The Genesis is an extraordinary vehicle in that it is smooth - driving it is actually almost a pleasure (I drive over 100 miles a day for work). It is not as tight as the 5 series, but has more power than the 528. Refined, many options, very quiet, awesome interior detail. Not sure it will hold its value over time but jumped on a great lease deal for the premium plus package. Do get the premium package at least on this vehicle or you will lose money when you sell it. This will not replace a BMW, but sure complements it.

  Luxury with performance and fun. - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Richard Bentley - August 26 - 8:56 pm

  Access to this red pearl beauty (might remind one of a Mercedes) is without reaching into a pocket or purse. The interior is soft and stylish (Lexus comes to mind) and adjusts to fit the driver and passenger perfectly, seats, mirrors, steering, and controls. The air conditioned seats will not be needed this winter, however, the heated seats will make cozy ride cozier. Recently on the interstate being caught up in a snarly of big rigs and car traffic, I thought I would test the 4.6 liter engine. I a few seconds the snarl was in the far rear view. I said to my wife, "I just glanced at speedometer and we are just come down from 110 mph." Fun and pride come from owning the Genesis.
