  Pleasant Surprise - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Ledee131 - September 18 - 2:52 pm

  I was looking into buy a new car. I considered the Genesis brand. I changed the badge and I am happy with the car. It moves well and is comfortable. Hopefully, the car will last me for quite a while. I like the back lit controls at night. Really cool to drive in

  Great car - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Happy Owner - September 17 - 8:37 pm

  After 6 Months of research I bought it. Has tech pkg. Quite, solid, fast, head turner, comfort. I have no complaints about the ride.People has mistaken it for a MB, Lexus, Bentley. Would be nice if the cd player was also a automatic changer. But the XM is great.

  Genesis - Truly a Beginning - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By genesisdriver - September 13 - 4:52 pm

  Incredible experience! Speed/power, luxury and incredible sound system. Did I mention how fast it is? Looked at LexusGS350 but have no regrets. Car is a real head-turner.

  needs much improvement - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By senior hot rod - September 9 - 9:44 am

  Need hand grips on under side of steering wheel. No timer for front or rear defrosters. Sunlight washes out nav screen and rear back up camera. Need larger sun visors with side extenders. Windshield washers only spray lower windshield. Limited warranty on all electronic items. Bad blind area when drivers seat is all the way back. Need light under hood. Rear mud guards are to small. Both front seats need the same features and more thigh support.

  Typical Hyundai, Genius - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Eddyer - September 8 - 7:54 pm

  No complaints whatsoever. Im kind of a person that likes to buy based on Value. Of course, Hyundai was the ticket. though, I was a bit skeptical about the Hyundai brand, the Genesis shattered my perceptions about the brand. I can not say how classy the car remains even after a few months of ownership. put a Genesis badge and the car is not that much different from a Bentley IMO.

  Rides too rough. - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Big Bear - September 4 - 9:08 pm

  I bought my pre-owned 3.8 from a man who is known to be less than frugal who really "unloaded" this beauty upon me. It is a gorgeous car, but after I drove it 850 miles it reminds me of the gorgeous, brainy woman who cant boil water. Only the BMW 318i that I just sold rode worse. The suspension system is horrible. When the tires are cold you can feel every tar strip in the highway. The guys who designed the suspension should not be allowed to graduate fro high school this year. The steering is also numb and it becomes very tiring to be driving with the intent to find a good centerline feel and have that suspension fighting me. There is too much road noise being transmitted into the car.

  Worth every Penny - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By AnClybur - September 1 - 12:58 pm

  I got a Genesis for my wifes birthday. She couldnt be happier with the car. It was a 3.8 L with plenty of luxury accouterments. She certainly will drive this baby for the next ten years or so. It is snowy in Michigan, can this thing last in snow. well, the good thing is that the Genesis was fitted with winter tires. Hopefully, the RWD architecture will handle the icy conditions.

  Happy with Car - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By Wengert - August 31 - 3:59 pm

  I needed a new car, since I drive pretty often in the New York metropolitan area. Found this beauty of a car. the 3.6 L v6 with Technology. I can not find a negative quotient or facet where this car lacks. Its plenty big, plenty strong and comfortable for the long trips down Route 80 and I-95.

  Beginning of a beautiful relationship - 2009 Hyundai Genesis
  By PlainJohn - August 30 - 12:37 am

  You know, things arent always what they seem. Ive been driving Caddys for a quite a while in my life time. Im an ol timer, not too old. But I gotta say that this vehicle really took me by surprise. Seeing the way how Korea has become a modern country. I can not be surprised to see the level of development in their car manufacturing. I got this 3.8 for about 37,500 at Iowa city. It is a great deal. It reminds me of 1988 all over again.

  By Ver234 - August 28 - 2:52 pm

  got this beauty for 38,000 with the tech package. I couldnt be any happier. The thing moves and is very nice to be inside. Looking forward to future Hyundai vehicles. Especially the Equus
