Fun little car to drive. Love my car.
Great little peppy at. Responsive, great handling, sporty. Not a Sudan ride, but a tight racing ride and tight handling.

2011 hyundai genesis sedan.
I love my genesis. The black leather interior is 10 years old and is still in great condition. The seat warmers are great this time of year. As long as I have my key in my pocket or in my purse, I am able to enter the car without having to fumble around to find the key. The stereo sounds great. I have owned this vehicle for five years and haven't encountered any major mechanical problems.

Great smooth driving sedan, great performance. Navigation feature.
My pros: great performance last, smooth ride, performs great on the highway miles, love the model and overall style. Cons: burns and consumes gas weird toxic smells. I have a 8 cylinder prefer a six. L enjoy my car would like to upgrade to a newer year.

White genesis Hyundai, 2011.
My car was rear ended while the previous owner has it, and was fixed up and still runs well. The backseat is hard to access and really shouldn't exist. Cam gears are going bad, it is an almost 10 year old car so that is to be expected. Runs nice as long as you care for it, but definitely not a family car.

A luxury car with other worldly tech.
The features are stellar the performance is simply amazing. The comfort is out of this world. This was my dream car and I constantly get asked about it especially when I have a passenger. The engine is spectacular and it rides like a dream and accelerates super fast.

My car is very fun to drive
It's fun to drive but a gas guzzler and sued t gave a lot of seating

The car runs really good whenever you're going far,
My car run really good, I am in love with my car because I have never had no type of problem with it and I take it anywhere in the country without a problem. I usually carry 4 people in my car and it still runs like if it was just me in the car, the car has great radio to play some music and it is also comfortable.

Negative Owner Reviews

Worst vehicle for a family
It's a very small car with it being turbo it requires a lot of special maintenance and the parts are really expensive apart from the mechanical job itself, the car seems to need a lot of work and parts are always breaking, it's meant for 4 people seating but it's really only comfortable for 2, an infant car seat does NOT fit at all and the backs seats are way smaller than a regular car back seat.
accountCircle Jacob G
The car is slow and has a problem with the transmission. Ride is also not comfortable and there are electronic problems as well.
It's overpriced and you can get a better car for cheaper. Sad.
accountCircle Malik V
The check engine light hasn't come on once in 5 years.
I love my car its fast reliable and never breaks down I've had my car for 5 years and the check engine light hasn't come on once I would recommend this car to first time drivers or anyone whose just beginning to drive it is a very safe and reliable car that anyone can drive.
accountCircle Jessica M
I enjoy the way the screen works for me and the options of Bluetooth.
It functions right but sometimes it takes off a bit slower than I would like when it is cold it takes a bit of time to heat up although it saves lots of gas and it is very family friendly for those who have a family. Overall very much enjoyed this car and the adventures I have had in it. I would recommend it to everyone!
accountCircle Steven M
The least expensive and sparsest in terms of luxury of the 3.8 coupe line.
The genesis r spec coupe has a 3.8 liter engine with a 6 speed transmission putting out over 300 hP with 0 to 60 speeds of 5.6 seconds. It has brembo brakes and a race tuned suspension. The vehicle is quick, well maintained and fun to drive with new brake pads and Michelin all season tires on 19 inch wheels.

Great car for a young professional or even a small family.
Sunroof stopped working and got stuck slightly open. Performance is great especially in sport mode. Tires wear down quickly. Has features that you wouldn't expect on a Hyundai. Overall great vehicle. Hope to drive it for a few more years reliably. Quick pick-up and smooth ride. Navigation system works well.
