plush,luxurious, and quiet - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
By randolphsmith - July 14 - 10:56 pmIm a jazz man and I love music. The interior is so quiet it enhances the sound of the already top quality speakers. Im riding in first class with a coach ticket. You cant beat that price. Thanks Hyundai for the Genesis, I dont have to pay a mortgage payment for a ride in luxury.

2009 Genesis v6 Prem Pkg Plus & Tech Pkg - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
By Mike - June 30 - 10:56 pmIve owned Bimmers, Acuras, and a VW, however, the Genesis is the piece de resistance... the ride is amazing.. completely comfortable. Phenomenal interior design and layout, with easy access to buttons, controls, etc. Gas mileage is a wonder- Jacksonville, Florida to Miami on 1 tank of gas (without reaching "Low Fuel Notification".. Very impressive for a car this size. The stereo is amazing, and sounds even better with real dvd movies, DVD audio, or a USB flash drive w/ high quality files :)

We love it!!! - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
By wbarnes - June 14 - 8:30 pmWe have been looking at the Genesis since they were first announced here in the US. Always thought they were a great car for a wonderful price. Well the deal we got last week was just super, and we could not be happier with our new vehicle. Acceleration is super, really puts you back in your seat. The handling is spot on, very tight in the turn and you have a great feel of the road. Best of all we love all the gadgets. We got the tech package and it is worth every penny. The sound system is unmatched and the drivers information system is as good as Ive ever seen. Lexis, BMW, and Benz need to really be worried. Same quality and service for 2/3 the price.

Genesis does a lot - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
By msteam - May 7 - 9:13 pmI have owned 2 Lexuss since 1998 a GS 300 and clocked 187000 miles on it an excellent car which performed in all aspects wonderfully. I then bought a Lexus IS250 I enjoyed the all wheel drive but when reading about the Genesis I was very intrigued and once I drove the 4.6 I was ready to buy. The car has all the features of both my Lexuss except the doors dont unlock when in proximity to the car. The brakes are tremendous the steering perfect, fuel economy very good considering the V8 power,super ride, great acceleration, very fine interior materials comfortable seats and with Technology Package all the toys. I love the size of the car lots of comfort in the back seat best car Ive owned.

It Will Suprise You! - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
By JetMan - April 30 - 6:03 pmThere is plenty to say about this car...all positive. The 3.8 has great acceleration and should satisfy most drivers. The gas mileage, well I have to keep checking it to make sure it is right! My wife drives mostly in town with a few highway trips and is getting 24 mpg on average. A quick 300 mile trek jumped it up to 28 mpg. I see other complaints about the suspension but we are pleased with our car; the wind and bumpy roads do not affect the ride that much and is an exceptionally quiet ride. My inlaws dumped their 2 year old Lexus after riding with my wife on that 300 mile trip. If you just have to have the snob appeal and want to pay 20-30 grand more for the same lux then have at it.

Let em look! - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
By JimW - April 5 - 5:46 amGot a Sterling Blue V6 w/ Tech/Prem pkgs a month ago. Ive been enjoying the car very much. Its fun to come out of stores and have guys standing around the car and saying "thats a Hyundai?". I got the "wings badge" for the trunk lid, just to keep them guessing. The car is a dream to drive, and very well designed inside. I wish I had more miles on the lease, as I would love to just drive, drive, drive. I expect that when this market recovers, this will be THE car to own.

nice car - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
By doberman - March 16 - 3:50 amI received the Genesis yesterday. What a great car. Iwas a little disapointed as far as the dealer. The very next day had to bring in for a airbag sensor. Genesis should have there own dealership.

thrilled then concerned - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
By spadesman - March 6 - 11:56 pmI bought the car on labor day, loved the car. Everything I had wanted in a car and more. No problems first 2200 miles, other than transmission jerk off a start thought it would smooth out eventually. Than I learned about recall, hmg interface problem car could lock up at anytime. On sept 15 I was going up steep incline back wheels hesitated twice from there tranny shifted out of SYNC. Then burning smell in cabin at acceleration to higher speeds. Car now shimmys in idle. Its at the dealer now they just called me and told me the smelled the firey smoke smell also. Wondering if I made a 40,000 mistake. I will update with more info as I receive it

A Good One - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
By Taft - February 8 - 11:43 pmWith less than 1000 miles I can still say that this is a really great car, especially when you consider the price. The fit and finish are superb, but the ride could be improved. The engineers should work on the rough and unsettled ride if they want to beat the big boys. We came from an MBZ 400E that was too old, but still gave us a great ride and handling. This is the first ownership of a car with all the bells and whistles, but were getting used to it and its fun. The acceleration is without peer and the interior quietness is excellent.

The Genesis is an instant Classic - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
By Daniel - February 7 - 7:23 pmPurchased a V6 3.8 Tech, Silver/black interior, Wing badges. Youll wont get a better car for the money. Classy looks on the outside incredible opulence inside. Well thought out design, comfortable seating, excellent handling, great power. and so quiet. The Genesis is the duplicating what Lexus did in 1989. This is my 5th Hyundi in the last 13 years. Every year they continue to improve their products and they hit this one out of the ballpark. From what I see and hear they seem to be attracting more BMW owners than any other luxury brand.
