It will last for at least a decade or more.

There is nothing that I would say to persuade anyone to buy my car because as of this model year, it is ten years old. I believe that the quality and reliability of the car is such that it will last for at least a decade or more but the current cost of a replacement car is far too expensive to even think of trading or upgrading.

It is a very safe car to drive. I have had no complaints of it so far.

I like that it is fast, and it drives very smooth. I do not like that it is a little older model so the GPS tends to send me to the wrong place every so often.

David M

Dependability and luxury.

Even though it is a 2009 model year, we don't want to trade it in. It is so comfortable and well built. We love having this car.

Great car

I just love this car. Nice strong solid and beautiful car...

Melody M

It is not a sports car but looks good.

The Genesis has been a low maintenance vehicle. It rides smoothly and is very quiet. It provides luxury while providing a hint of spottiness.

Heather K

Fully loaded want to be Mercedes

The driver's seat gets stuck when moved. It's been a good car. The sunroof is off track. The center caps won't stay on the tire. It's got a lot of room in it. The surround sound is awesome. The front and back air control is awesome as well. And the trunk is Hugh.

Best car in stock should be a plus to buy.

I love the Bluetooth phone connector so I am able to use my phone hands free in the car. Onstar availability which is a plus. Has the hardwood interior leather seats. It has push buttons that enable locking and unlocking the car as long as keys are near vehicle. Has seat warmers. 6 CD changer. Has av USB and charging area. Lets me know exactly what door is open if someone isn't tied down. Also lets me know when maintenance is needed on vehicle. Lets me know if tire pressure is low and which tire. Really huge trunk. Compartment that leads from the backseat to the trunk.

My car functions pretty well for what it does. It does however have issues with unlocking and locking.

The vehicle is pretty average so there isn't much in the terms of looks. It's comfortable enough but the driver's seat never feels right no matter how it is adjusted. I like that it is small enough that it is easily maneuverable to drive on the road.

Taylor M

The vehicle I currently have is running pretty smooth even though it is salvage.

I love the miles per gallon I am able to get when filling my tank up. The only issues that I have is when someone hit my car, they put a dent in my gas container. So that has made it sort of a hassle to get gas effortlessly, without the nozzle keep clicking as if it just stops on its own. Other than that, my vehicle is in great condition drivewise.

Seat warmers. On star. Bluetooth capability.

I love my vehicle. It has so many great features with Bluetooth to my phone. So I can drive and answer calls as needed. It also has OnStar which is a plus for me. It has buttons on the steering column to control radio options. Also great at letting me know tire issues. Love the leather interior and seat warmers.

Lisa C on January 7, 2021

It is reliable and can haul a bunch of stuff.

It doesn't get the best gas mileage. I would prefer to get at least 20 miles per gallon. This car I get around 15-16 miles per gallon.

Is The 2009 Hyundai Genesis A Good Value?

We got it used so it was much cheaper than a brand new one. But it was in great condition, no issues, no accidents, no scratches, it is a great value.

April J.

I purchased a used one after 125,000 miles on it. I paid $5000. It seemed a fair price. After 150,000 it still goes for around $3500. So I think it is a fair ask.

Dixit B.

It was approximately $35,000 when purchased and it has proven to be a good value and well-worth the purchase price.
