10/10 amazing car to have.

My car runs smooth and has not had any problems. I love the look of the car inside and outside! The touch screen display is awesome to use and has quite a few features. It is an awesome car to have! I wanted this car for a while and still wouldn't trade it for anything. Super reliable and sporty!

Love my genesis, everyone needs to own one.

It is a very reliable car. The blue color is beautiful. The turbo makes the car very fast. Love everything about it, other than I wish that it had a sunroof. Definitely a head turner, everyday people are asking what it is, even though it is 7 years old.

Jon V

Genesis coupe is reliable and no major mechanical issues.

No issues mechanically. Automatic transmission is 8 speed, however, it always seems to be searching for the next gear. Reliable and great looking.

Samuel C

The 3rd row seating is only suitable for children.

It's very smooth and never has any issues. Really nice exterior. I also like the interior with the light leather and nice features.

Arturo D

It is fast and comfortable.

I love my cars turbo, Its fast and very reliable, Its a bit small since Its a coupe but It's a very beautiful car. The engine sounds nice and so does the turbo. It has Bluetooth feature and AUX which I use everyday, the front seats are very comfortable, the back not so much since Its very small back there.

Liz T

Overall it is a great car to own.

This is a fun sporty car, only thing it is low to the ground so be careful when hitting any pot holes. Has great performance and has been reliable no issues. Not real comfortable for long trips. It is a 3.8 so Does burn the gas. Parts are on the high end.

Genesis; it has to be experienced more so than explained.

The performance of my genesis that I like the most is that it is a 5. 0 (v8) so it has a lot of power and speed. It also has a lot of added bells and whistles such navigation, a serious radio/DVD/cd system, plush leather interior, heated seating (both front and back), amongst too many more to mention.

Best car I have owned so far.

I bought the base model, which surprisingly still comes with almost every feature that the top tier model does except for brembo brakes and an lsd. Very happy with my purchase overall. I bought it as a car to tinker with and make my own. Plenty of aftermarket suppliers now out there for that, which made the whole process very easy. This is the longest time I have ever kept a car before getting a different one, if that tells you anything about how much I enjoy driving it.

The genesis really is a luxurious car.

Genesis was bought second hand. In the first year we had to replace the tires, brakes, rotors. Then we keep having to replace the tires because the alignment is off. We fix it but somehow it keeps messing up. We have a transmission slip. It causes the car to rev up and jerk.

Tesa W

It has a turbo which is cool.

There are always engine issues and it does not drive in the snow whatsoever. I feel like every time I fix something on it, not even a week later something else need to be fixed or replaced. For this reason, my husband and I just tend to share his vehicle. It is definitely a fun car to drive but with a child it is difficult to get in and out of.

Nancy S

The battery and tires did not last.

The car is fine, it is just not what I want anymore. The GPS system has not worked in a while, but it was not user friendly.

Gabrielle C

It is $60 to fill up the car. It is extremely durable. I have been in crashes.

It is not as fast as I want it. Gas mileage is alright. I do not like that it is red. I would like black or gray.

Carbon buildup problem

Bought this car new in 2013 - paint has chipped around windshield & by the bottom of the doors, and both bumpers have had the finish peel off - this has been going on since around 2015-2016 and the dealership just shrugs and says they've never seen it before. The interior has held up nicely, but now am being told that there's a huge carbon buildup in the engine which will be costly to repair - am torn between having it fixed and trading it in while I can get at least a little for it. Unhappy at the moment...

Genesis is the definitely the car and brand for me.

I have had this genesis for a little over 3 years. I have not had any issues with it besides the typical maintenance. It has been really good to me. It has really great gas mileage on the highway and city. It looks really good and it has up to date technology in the vehicle. It is presents a really comfortable and smooth ride.

Karrie M on June 19, 2021

My car is wonderful and you will not regret buying it.

I love my car. It has great pickup and for being baseline it comes with a great turbo system, a great sound system, and overall unbelievable handleability. The rear wheel drive can be a bit cumbersome in adverse weather. Driving the car feels like home, but be sure to get manual transmission and not automatic.

It has been reliable for me so far.. I have owned the car a little over a year. I would recommend a standard transmission versus the automatic transmission

Is The 2013 Hyundai Genesis A Good Value?

I believe they are priced anywhere from 15,000 to 29,000 now. Even used ones seem to keep their value if they have been properly handled and cared for. They are pretty low maintenance too.

Cole L.

I believe the Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a very good value I looked at several different cars before making the decision on the Genesis. I could not find anything similar for close to the price.

Laura W.

Great value great car great deal and it holds its value better than most car of the same size great discount
