FROM ITALY .
Bella davvero la Hyundai Genesis Sedan! Peccato che da noi in Europa, in Italia in particolare, non arriverà mai! Con almeno un buon diesel, sarebbe una valida antagonista soprattutto della Infiniti M30d, ma anche della migliore concorrenza, rivolta a chi è stanco delle solite belle e perfette tedesche!
Mi rendo conto che il brand Hyundai in Europa è ancora impreparato per questo segmento di mercato, ma resto ugualmente convinto (e affascinato) di questa idea.

Overall the car is pretty good. But, a continuing problem with audio system. Hyndai has replaced it once already but once in a while the sound goes out. I understand that it may have something to do with the Bluetooth. Today, the sound went out, a message shows up on the screen,…Check Antenna… Screen indicates recognition that FM station and XM exists, but no sound and cannot switch channels from steering column or to AM. Anyone else?

Hey Timi, no I didn't have any problems with the sedan as far as lag with the steering wheel controls. Interesting that's an issue on the coupe – maybe that's something that's wrong with that car in particular. The ride on the Track model is supposed to be tight with the track-tuned suspension, but hopefully not bad enough to make it an unpleasant daily driver?

The Genesis is astounding. My nitpick issue, at least with the coupe, is that the steering wheel mounted volume controls, seriously lag when utilized. It takes almost 5 secs at least, to start moving, either up or down. The ride on the track model is way too stiff also, but of course, this was the sedan you tested. Do any of these, however, ring true for the sedan?

Hi Alawi, Hyundai has a great warranty when compare to other company. You can go with powertrain warranty for 10yrs/100000 miles. They even fix something that not cover in the warranty policy. You can't go wrong with Hyundai warranty and I can tell that their reliable is the same as Honda.

Alawi – You've chosen a good car

I can't say of course how the car will fare in the next few years, but I can say with confidence that the Genesis I drove felt very well-built, had a very tight fit & finish, and felt solid all-around.

Hyundai also has an excellent warranty, so you shouldn't have to worry about anything for while.

Alawi–it's too soon to tell, of course. But my site, TrueDelta.com, is tracking these cars closely as they age. We're the only ones with reliability stats on the Genesis, and we'll be updating these again in May, and then every three months after that.

Hello, guys.

I'm quite interested in the genesis and saving every buck to get one, but one thing is really bugging me: how's it gonna be like after say, two years from the day of purchase?

Lexus has built a very solid reputation regarding service and durability with their cars topping 200,000 miles with out the slightest problem. I wonder whether or not the Genesis will remain truthful to the merits and standards it was built upon.

Thanks for the comment Neil. That's the cable I tried to use, and no luck

Hi Michael. You're right about the rear folding seats not being in other asian cars either, but to be honest I had to stretch a bit to find something wrong about the Genesis so I had to nit-pick a bit. In my opinion, they've made an almost perfect entry-level luxury sedan.

While I agree that a folding rear seat would be nice, you won't find one in any luxury sedan from Japan, either. Oddly, this is one area where they didn't copy the Germans.
