Hyundai Genesis

[Flyn]

Love it? Hate it?

We took a buddy's Genesis to a comedy club last night and it wasn't a bad ride. Ended up parked between a Carrera and an R8.

The 2015 looks like it takes a big step forward for Hyundai. The Genesis goes for $45-$50K new and sells for under $30K a couple years later.

Indifferent.

I like the front end of the previous model better.

This has been out for quite a bit now - I test drove the 2015 last November (one with v6 and AWD) and thought it was a nice ride. But at the time there were basically zero incentives on it.

Great fit and finish and features.

I'm thinking that the depreciation is still going to hit the 2015s until the market realizes it's a better car than the 2014s. Might be the potential for getting one of the 2015s for a bargain price in a year or two. It would be a deal if it's available two years old with low miles for around $30K.

If the 2015s don't drop as much, the 2014s should see even bigger price drops.

I really like them. There was a fully loaded one in the showroom when we bought the wife's Elantra. Sticker was close to mid 60s it was quite the sticker shock


Nvm scratch that just looked it up. It's the equise or whatever that large car is called from hyundai

It's good. Wish you could get the 5.0 with AWD.

 

[sickmint79]

i think hyundai puts out some nice cars, just not sure any are for me.

Supposedly the next gen coupe will have a 3.3l turbo setup and AWD and put out 480hp.

I don't know how easy it would be to work on the Genesis. Engine bay is crammed and there are cover panels for the entire bottom of the car. In the video, they mention having to remove two of the panels just to change the oil.

Good looking engine bay but no room to work.

I did a lot of research on the Genesis prior to my choice. I needed a daily driver but I also wanted power and the looks of a conservative luxury vehicle w/o breaking the wallet.

I found out the 2012 up until October of 2013 they made a freak 3.8 genesis. Very under rated in power and 0-60. They rate mine at a 13.8 stock with a 0-60 of 5.4 seconds. I made sure I bought a Genesis that was built prior to October of 2013. Anything after that the cars for some reason are slower. Especially the 2014-2015 models.

I'm very happy with the car as a daily driver. It's a shame they dont produce aftermarket power adders for the sedan. The cars rated at 333hp @ 291ft/lbs.

I'm trying to find the link that shows the power difference.

The Genesis & Sonata are looking better every year. However, to each his own.

Flat bottom gets you better gas mileage, and once you pull all the plastic covers off the top of most of these motors it is no different then anything else out there.

Every new car is like that on the bottom.

The 2012-2013s are do it yourself friendly. I have no clue beyond that

That's pretty much every car made now. They say they're there for fuel efficiency but in Audi's case they're their to catch all the dripping fluids.

I have a plastic cover that I need to take 8 bolts off of to get to my oil filter. Sometimes you cant prevent debri from flying under the front of your car. Since the new filters are now plastic capsules I can guarantee that plastic cover has saved my oil filter from being ripped off the engine. It sits low under the car

As Mike says, the 2012 Genesis IS a freak car with better performance stats than years before and after. I wonder why?

0-60 of 4.7 and quarter mile of 13.1 for the 2012 R-Spec 5.0 Sedan?

The R-spec sedan was an entirely different animal than the 4.6 or 3.8 engines for the sedans.

The older cars were neat . I didn't really think they were sleepers. 3300 lb with 300hp could get you 13's .

I think they are a bit played out now . The new style is boring to me . If its slower that makes it worse.

 

[Mike K]

The new cars are really good looking in person. Unfortunately every time I see one I think to myself that it's something I'd drive if it didn't have a Hyundai badge on it.

 

[Rent Free]

Id just be afraid of the reliability.

 

[Turtle]

How's the aftermarket for these? If any?

Ha Ha. I was thinking if I did buy one, first mod would be pulling the Hyundai badge off.

100K power train warranty and close to half list price for a 2-3 year old with low miles. You can get 2012-2013 R-Specs for mid to high $20Ks.
