The most important thing, only because this was not known to me when I purchased, is that the rear seats do not fold down. This is not something that is an issue all the time and might not be a problem to some people, but I do find it odd that it isn't even an option, therefore very much limiting what you can carry/transport in the car as far as length.

I really like my car and have been very happy with it since day one. It is very comfortable and stylish, with a nice look on both the inside and outside. The interior is comfortable and roomy, with plenty of space for passengers. The trunk is quite large, which is also a nice feature. The upgrades are high quality and I feel like I am driving a very luxurious car.

Hydro baby girl that is faster than bolt.

Have not had any known problems as of yet but it is definitely a high speed car that I love to drive especially when I am trying to get somewhere fast as it is a gas saver but problems no none as of yet and hope to not have to experience anything anytime soon.

You want to buy a great car with the best ride and good mileage try the genesis.

Genesis is great have had no problems with it and would buy another one if I had to. This is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. The ride of this car is excellent and the gas mileage I get is great also. Where I bought my car they service is very well and fast also,

It has amazing safety technology

The car has the most comfortable seats of any sedan that I drove. Also it handles wonderfully and gets good mileage for the size of the engine that it has. Presently I have no complaints

The extra lights has a great advantage for my sight during the nighttime.

I love my 2015 genesis. It drives very smooth, the interior is beautiful, and the seat warmers are amazing. The holograms on the mirrors give me an advantage of light at night time and the car is great when it comes to being a lookout such as seat belt warnings, gas, GPS, and even someone being too close to the rear of the car.

The car is very good on gas, handles the highway well.

I love my car it's a very safe car has many safety features as well as a Navigation system . The music system is good in this car too, nice speakers.

AWD

The AWD option is fabulous in the snow and ice. The interior is comfortable and the gauges are easy to read and use. The ride is exceptionally quiet and smooth. Had many luxury cars and this is among the best if not the best. Never a single issue.

Looks lovely driving down the highway!

This genesis g80 is quite new to me, but it drives very well. The lane assist is helpful, but the blind spot indicator is the best feature! The controls are easy to use, the seats are comfortable and it has good viewing angles front, sides, and rear. The trunk is very convenient with a pass through to the interior.

Reliability

No, nothing but problems

I do not care for the layout of the car's interior, or the amount of seating I wish there were more options when purchasing the cars

That there is not enough seating if you want a family car I do not suggest this

ana C

Love how it is a unique vehicle

My vehicle is pretty good . I'm satisfied with it, love how it looks on the interior and exterior as well . It's somewhat reliable on gas, not too much and it's performance is great. Haven't had any problems with it since I've gotten it and would totally recommend it

Michael N

It will not break down on you at all.

It runs really well. I have customized heated seats. It gets me to point A to point B so I cannot complain. It is a temporary car that is about it. I am looking to upgrade eventually to a luxury car like a range rover or a challenger.

Josh D

It runs fast, is comfortable and gets you from place to place safely.

It moves from place to place. I like the different features. It is comfortable. No complaints.

Lucas Q

Good car but it could use a few updates.

It is very comfortable and clean and I love the look of it and it has a great exterior but it is sometimes a little bit glitchy with the radio system and Bluetooth does not work sometimes but overall a nice car and I would recommend for the price and I got mine second hand.

May J

The car is very easy to drive.

I like the speed. I like the style. I do not like the size. It is small and compact which is not useful for multiple people riding in the car. But the style is nice and it is overall a good car.

Ryan L

The price of my car and the brand of the car

I like the price of the vehicle and i don't like the color

You must be careful when setting the automatic stop feature. If you apply the brakes then you need to reset the automatic stop feature. If you forget.........?

I do not find the passenger seat very comfortable. It is too small and crowded. I do not like the automatic stopping feature. My husband sets it for one car length, which I consider much too close. If a car is on your left side, an alert appears in the left rear view mirror, but not always. If I look over my left shoulder to see if anything is there, the car is built such that you cannot see.

How Reliable Is The 2017 Genesis G80?

None that I have discovered. One thing... the side view mirrors could be set maybe an inch or so lower

Colleen F.

The car has been very reliable I have no issues with it and not had to take it into the surface I would highly recommend this car two other people

Denise A.

Is The 2017 Genesis G80 A Good Value?

It was 49,000 at dealer. But because it was the last one in November 2017 and I paid cash I got a 10,000 discount. So 39

Heather C.

I bought the car used or around 23,000 which was a deal considering it looks much more expensive the current sticker price is much more and I got it in and steal
