    I have now had my new 2011 Genesis for 1 week. I got it at Jim Hudson Hyundai in Columbia SC. I got the base 3.8 V6 with no options. I will not give the exact price but I was out the door for under $30,000. Price aside, it is truly a wonderful car. I am in my upper 30s and I feel like a teenager again when I drive this thing. Being excited about driving is something I had forgotten about until last week. I also love the attention this car affords. I have had so many compliments and typically the reaction is WOW, I did not know Hyundai made such a nice vehicle. I did research for weeks and the only thing people can say bad about this vehicle is that they dont get the prestige. Get this car!

    I purchased my 2011 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 from Dave Edwards Hyundai, Spartanburg, SC. The dealership is one of the best I have done business with. The car is truly outstanding in every respect. Color is Titanium Gray Metallic with Saddle leather interior. Traded in 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited purchased from same dealer. I really liked the Sonata but after driving the Genesis it was impossible to resist the purchase.

  • Great value, Refined with class - 2011 Hyundai Genesis
    By -

    Just picked up a 2011,V8 today, Black with tan interior. First of all , got a super deal on a 3 yr lease. The warranty that is offered is tough to beat. The car has great looks and is surprisingly roomy inside. I shopped BMW, which I really like, but the cost savings on the Genesis were hard to ignore.

  • Off the charts. - 2011 Hyundai Genesis

    Miracle. Needed a bigger car--love my Audis and my 3-series BMW but couldnt afford their big siblings. This car has great power and performance for its size, not as quiet or rock solid as an Audi but did you see the price? If you need absolute rock solid, get an Audi and be happy. If you need pretty rock solid and a stone cold bargain, heres your ride. Matches Audi on features, comfort. Almost there on driving dynamics. This is a quiet car, just not a Buick. If you need whisper silence you can either spend a crapload on Audis or get a stereo installer to Dynamat your Genesis. I just may do that. Itll probably be quiet as a tomb after that, for minimal cost.

  • My first luxury sedan experience - 2011 Hyundai Genesis
    By -

    This is my first luxury car. Prior to this I had a 2002 Nissan Altima. It was a solid car but it cant compare with the Genesis. The Genesis has many luxury & tech amenities. The doors and seats have a solid & weighty feel to it. It also has a surprisingly smooth & quiet ride feel. I have ridden in Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Acura, Volvo, and Infiniti. Granted, the Genesis doesnt have the same stiff handling and agility as the European cars but the ride quality feels on par with the Japanese cars such as my friends Lexus LS430. I dont have extensive luxury car experience, but I do know that my 3.6L tech package has all the bells and whistles for less than $38K and this is hard to beat.

  • Honeymoon is over and Still love this car - 2011 Hyundai Genesis

    I have just over 14000 miles on my Genesis 4.6 sedan and love this car. Its used everyday for a 100 mile commute, around town and long trips for business. Driving this car never tires me out.

  • Best bank for the buck - 2011 Hyundai Genesis
    By -

    This car blows away the competition. Ive had my share of 5-series BMWs, an Inifiniti and a Lexus. None of these compares to the Genesis comfort, refinement, engine response, interior elegance, ride quality and - especially - price. If you can get over the fact that youre driving a Hyundai, youll find that no car this side of a Mercedes 5-series, BMW 7-series or a LS 460 can compare with it.

  • A lot of Car for the Money - 2011 Hyundai Genesis
    By -

    Ive had the car for 3 months(2200 miles) now and I am impressed. My wife has a 2005 BMW545i(6 speed manual) and she told me she likes my car so much , she wants to get rid of the beamer and get her a Genesis too.We have the logic 7 in the BMW and the Lexicon system sounds even better. I dont know what the people who said negative things about this car were talking about( perhaps they work for the competition).If you are in the market for a sport/luxury car,do yourself a favor and check this car out.

  • Solid Car - 2011 Hyundai Genesis
    By -

    The Genesis is a solid well built car that now makes Hyundai the leader in quality. The fit and finish of this car is second to none. The engine is outstanding and the ZF transmission is very smooth. The cabin is super quiet at 80 mph. If you are looking for a luxury sedan, dont pass up a test drive of a Genesis 4.6 sedan.

  • Unbelievable car for the money - 2011 Hyundai Genesis
    By -

    Done all the research before buying and I am blown away by the quality of this car. Checked out c class Mercedes and 3 series BMW those cars a nice but for the same money you get way more car in the Genesis.
