  Perfect!! - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Little Nuke - July 27 - 1:23 am

  This car is easily the nicest I have owned. I traded an Acura for this and before that I had a Mercedes. Frankly, neither of them can compare to this car. Its superior in every way. I love telling people I traded my Acura for a Hyundai.

  Good Car - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Jay - July 11 - 5:53 pm

  This is our company car, and I drove about 5 times (total of about 100 miles) since last month, and this car is very good. The ride is really smooth and quiet. The car has Lexicon Nav, and the bluetooth handsfree sounded so good and clear. RWD feels really good. The seats are very comfy. It is really luxurious and good looking, but 2% lacking to be compared with BMW or MB.

  By David S. - June 15 - 10:50 am

  Excellent ride, for normal driving (highway and city drive) it is fantastic. Very comfortable seats, lots of leg room. Fuel economy is decent for the car size. Very happy with my car...!!!

  Hyundai is the next Lexus - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Scott Lepore - June 10 - 6:46 am

  Who would have thought that you could spend $40,000 and drive out of a dealership and own a world class automobile that rivals the 750-I BMW. The electronics alone are amazing but the car has good power with the V-8 and rides very smooth. It also is very roomy and handles great. I bought a Mercedes E-350 in 2006 for more money.This care is quality. Trust me.

  Awesome luxury car - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Radu - April 12 - 4:40 pm

  I tested more than 15 cars, including Lexus IS, BMW 530, Audi A6, Mercedes E350, Infinity M45, Jaguar XJ8. None are better than the Genesis! The quality is awesome, the car is solid & extremely quiet, the performance is great and the price is low for what the car offers! It has all the features of a twice as expensive car + 5 years full warranty. The interior is as big as Lexus LS and BMW 7 series and the quality is just as good! I’ve been driving it for 1 month now and I can’t find any flaws. The snobs might say: ”it’s a Hyundai”, but this is how Lexus started as well. Unless you’re willing to pay $20-30k more for the brand name to buy a similar car, you’ll be impressed with the Genesis!

  Great car but.... - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By DomK - March 9 - 10:33 pm

  I have been a Hyundai owner for about 5 years and have always been impressed with the quality of the cars for the money you spend. The Genesis is absolutely no exception. I went in for an oil change on my old Elantra, test drove the Genesis, and got it that day. At least once a day I have someone comment on how much they love the look of the car. The solid performance rounds out a really great package. Be careful though if you live in colder climates, the car is a real wheel drive which is great when it is nice out, and even in the rain but when it snows, the car struggles for traction (I spent 35 minutes today stuck on the side of a slightly inclined road while other cars passed)

  1st Hyundai Genesis - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By shadowplayer51 - February 16 - 3:56 pm

  Today I got the new Genesis, the first one sold in the U.S according to the factory the dealership got them from. The interior is as awesome as promised. I am 63" and my 62" son fits behind me with plenty of room. I got the premium plus package and everything is awesome. Black on Black with Metallic Paint, and I am happy to say that it will be possible to debadge the car. Like I said the interior is spacious and comfortable with plush leather. XM and Bluetooth and 6-disc changer, the 14 speaker Lexicon system is AWESOME.

  A Lot of Bang for the Buck - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By LonMan - February 2 - 5:23 am

  My wife and I have owned a lot of vehicles before we purchased the Genesis; some very good and some bad. As we age and not into status or snob appeal any longer value,reliability, warranty coverage, and styling are important. Brand cachet was certainly not a consideration when we bought a 2006 Sonata LX (loaded V6). It is a great car for the money. Superb gas mileage for a 235 hp V6 and plenty of good features.So when the Genesis made its debut in the lux arena we bought a White Satin Pearl 3.8 w/tech package as it came off of the truck. A year of due diligence in the form of technical research, auto magazine and critical reviews sold me on another Hyundai. What an awesome vehicle!

  Love This Car - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By jhendri - January 26 - 5:23 pm

  Love the Genesis,I had the car for one week the car is a good value for the money. I had an Lexus GS, which was an better ride but the sound system was not as good as Genesis.On rough roads the ride is not stable I have Black/Black wtih Tech package,had the window tinted and the car came with the Wing package.Several people asked what it was. With only 240 miles the fuel economy is unknown.
