2009-2014 Hyundai Genesis Buyers Guide | 6 Year Ownership *150,000+ Miles*

[@JS-ny9ge]

I have a 2011 4.6L Genesis. Has 107k miles on it and I bought it with about 40k miles on it. I have to say, I just detailed it for the first time ever yesterday. I am really amazed that the paint is still stellar after years outdoors. This car has been solid. I replaced the window switches myself for about 150 dollars and then replaced the front brake pads and plugs at about 100k miles. Of course the battery wears out as normal. The radio has hiccupped a few times and then resets itself and continues on. Still working. Still runs perfectly, looks good and has been a very solid car. Thought about buying something new as I am bored with it, but my wife loves the car because it handles and is fast, so I broke down and bought a new set of tires for it. Oh, the volume button on the radio broke once and just broke again. Cheap plastic, and just buy a new knob. Really has been a GREAT car.

[@j2tus2000]

It's just so many of us are late to the game. I wish I knew about the 5.0 before buying mine with the 3.8. But even with the smaller engine it is a sick ride and very underappreciated.

[@ajgemc1]

Just picked up a 2017 G80 5.0 Ultimate. (27k miles) Very new to the car scene, (2014 Raptor SVT; 6.5 years, 181k miles) lookin forward to making my G80 my everyday driver from now on.

I bought my 12 Rspec almost 3 years ago, after discovering this channel. I've been so happy with the car and I'm glad I bought it when I did! I've since seen others go for double what I paid for mine. Thanks for all the great content my man!

I'm the proud owner of a 2018 G80 3.8 and she's been flawless except for a leaking water pump (replaced under warranty at 26k miles). Nice ride. Can't complain. Test drove one with more than 100k mikes b4 pulling the trigger on this one and was very impressed. No rattles, valve tapping, suspension issues, etc.

[@williamknauer7839]

Bought my 12 R spec about a year and a half ago at 91k and now I'm at 115k. I've experienced most of the problems you cover in the video except for the seats, locks and alt. Fortunately for me, I'm a mechanic so I can handle the issues myself. I did want to comment on the oil consumption. I was at slightly over a quart per 1k from the time I purchased the car. After lots of research, I decided to flush the engine with "motor medic" 4 oil changes ago and replace 1 quart with Lucas additive. My consumption was cut in half over the course of the oil life (4000 miles). I did the same thing the next oil change and the consumption dropped again to less than a quart over the oil life. The next oil change, with no additives or flush it used almost no oil. I just changed the oil again and I'll be watching it closely. Fingers crossed. I have nothing to do with any of the products I mentioned, I'm just saying what I did and it seems to have worked.

[@husamlabanieh4061]

what month was yours manufactured

[@Woody21369]

Love your videos... I also have a 2012 R-Spec 5.0 with 179,000 miles. I replaced the trunk badge, upgraded the rims to 19 x 8.5 (245/45R/19) as the factory seem to get road rash really easy. I replaced the Resonator, mufflers, and drilled out the secondary CATs. Like you I had to replace the Alternator at 140K miles and replace the plugs and Denon coils from Amazon for like $200. It only took me 30-40 minutes super easy. I replaced the factory Shocks and Struts... Again with factory as I could not find any aftermarket that would not lower the car. New C1 Rotors and pads all the way around. Like your 2012 mine burns oil. Started at 1 quart every 1200 miles, then at 80K 1 quart every 1000 miles, at 120k 1 quart every 800 miles. During the summer I jumped to 10/40 weight oil and it helped, back to 1 quart every 1000 miles. At 178,000 miles it dropped to 1 quart every 500 miles. Bad timing... I just bought a new house in January and we replaced my wife's old SUV with a 2019 twin turbo Flex Limited. There went me going 200K miles and in 2022 getting a 2019 Genesis G80 Sport, those are the best rims. I went to CarMax... Yes CarMax to test drive sport sedans... I hated just about all of them. Either to small for my 6'3 wide as a door body type, no power, the suspensions were like ridding on a cloud... How is that a sport sedan, or the price tag was just to much for me... $30,000 for a 2018 G80 Sport... Yes I cried... I came home pissed off and I told the wife nothing was as good as my R-Spec.... She is so smart, so she, said then get a newer R-Spec with less miles!!! I will not repeat what else she said... :o So guess what I did Friday and yesterday... I called about a half dozen dealers in Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. The closest dealer with a respectable 2013 or 2014 R-spec that wasn't trashed, have high miles 100k+, or smoking crack asking $19k+ for a car that looks like crap and has duck-tap on the interior driver side door handle was 620 miles away. Yes there were some that were nice that were closer, Loveland, OH 2013 with 81K miles in black and its immaculate for $14,500... very well taken care of. My only concern was the manufacture date of 10/13/2012. Would it have the fixed piston rings... I settled on or should I say haggled the crap out of a dealer in Albany, Georgia. 2013 R-Spec in Parisian Grey with 47K miles for $14,800 + shipping + fees + taxes... Going from Georgia to Indiana hurts!!! Hope to have it delivered sometime next week.... I will finally have Android Auto...

Changed battery, changed spark plugs, changed breaks, resurfaced rotors when I first got it. Regular oil changes every 3k miles, had to replace evap purge valve (check engine light came on at 100k after valve change check engine went away!). Wear and tear suspension issues (I drive very fast tbh) recently replaced lower control arms next I will replace shocks and struts. Other than that the car has been very reliable! No issues at all ( knock on wood ) back up camera went black before (read in a genesis forum to slam the trunk ) got out slammed the trunk hasn’t happened again and this was about at 110k so it’s been a while !

[@johnsullivan937]

It's honestly such a damn shame they never offered the v8 in the genesis coupe. Around the time when that car was new so many people were comparing it to g37's, mustangs, and camaros. And the main #1 gripe I saw people bring up in favor of the american cars was that there's no v8 option to really compete with a 5.0 mustang or anything. It's especially sad, knowing how good the tau v8's are, Fairly bulletproof and make great power. It would have been so cool to have a korean muscle car with a 430hp v8, and really would have boosted their street cred at the time. I think hyundai's reasoning was that it wouldnt fit, but I've seen several tuners that successfully swapped it in. I've got a 2.0t r spec, and love it to death, but man that v8 would have been cool. We desperately need hyundai to bring back the coupe under the new genesis platform. The sedans are awesome, but I can only imagine how cool a coupe would be with the kia stinger v6tt. Would make a good fairlady Z and supra competitor.

[@GeneBaldwin]

I have a black on black 3.8L 2013 sedan with only 75,000 miles on it. I bought the car new. To date I have only had to change a headlight control module at an independent garage (not cheap). I changed the front brake pads myself at 72,000 miles. There was still about 10,000 miles left on the old pads though. I did not change out the rotors. Next time I’ll upgrade to drilled and slotted rotors. I changed the tires at 73,000 miles. I put 255/50 VR 18’s on the front and 255/55 VR 18’s on the rear. I needed the car raised a little to avoid bent wheels (had 2) on Atlanta’s crappy streets/roads. Great upgrade. I changed the exhaust from CATS back. Replaced the middle resonator with an “X” pipe and replaced the mufflers with Magnaflow mufflers. Great sound and horsepower improvement! i added a “Sprint Booster” to improve throttle response - best add on for $300 investment! I put a leather steering wheel cover on and it made the steering wheel “fatter” which I like for driving comfort. I put on a cheap “oil catch can” to help stop any oil vapors from being sucked in through the intake valves. I think all GDI engines would benefit from that addition. I added a K&N engine air cleaner at about 25,000 miles. I just cleaned and recharged it a couple days ago - they only need attention about every 50,000 miles. I have only used full synthetic oil in the car. I only change the oil and filter about every 10,000 miles or so. Am I happy with the car? Now that I have made all the changes I wanted, YOU BET I’M HAPPY WITH IT! It’s finally just what I intended for the car to make it MINE! Oh, and it LOVES to be driven at fast highway speeds! What a great road car!

I just got a 2013 genesis 3.8, so far a couple small issues. 1) Driver side heater seat doesn’t work, 2) starting to get trans slip when changing gears (I have extended warranty that should cover it, 3) I do notice the issue with the paint (Small chips on front and back bumper). Other than that, I’m enjoying the drive so far. I will continue to come back and check out the channel for other tips and tricks on the vehicle.

[@nick66rc2x]

I got a 2012 CPO R Spec with 25K miles 5 years ago and got the Hyundai extended warranty. I had 3 transmissions replacements, an engine top overhaul due to oil consumption then finally Hyundai replaced my motor at 100K miles after oil consumption tests. Now, with 110K miles I noticed that the soot build up in my bumper due to oil burning is gone. The transmission is holding strong but I try to drive it old man conservative. If you get one, just make sure to get the warranty. My sunroof went south as well after I got it but was replaced with warranty. Also the driver seat rails were replaced as well as the I drive controller.

I have the 6 speed automatic and I agree with everything you say about the vehicle and its ride. Like your car my sensors beep once in a while, but to me, no big deal. Thanks for the tip about looking for problems after 100,000 miles is reached. I am considering trading it in on a '19 Hyundai Sonata, low mileage, with similar bells and whistles, with a difference before taxes of $13,000 CDN.

[@Xtalgic]

Nice congrats! And possibly in the future. Car has been reliable thus far idk if I need one.

[@keithwollaver2307]

A catch can will not do a thing about bad piston rings or otherwise related to high oil consumption. The catch can is there to help limit the amount of gunk (oil and carbon) from forming on the backside of the intake valves when the PVC system recycles the oil vapors back into the intake runners and over the valves. GDI does not wash the backside of the intake valves with fuel like old school injection systems so valves get to be gunked up, in some engines more than others. To remove it all you have to pull the intake manifold and physically remove it. Looks like an easy job.

I have a 2009 4.6 Genesis and I use full synthetic oil. (Mobil 1 or Pennzoil platinum). I change the oil every 10,000 miles (ten thousand) and it does not use a drop in between changes. The car currently has 125,000 miles on it. This is very much in contrast to your experience with oil consumption.

[@tamik8545]

i have a 2012, and ive put a new transmission in and i had to get a motor, it prolly wasnt the actual motor after the fact im thinking maybe the coial, rite now its not keeping power or recharging after i gave a jump to someone, i recharged the new battery and theres a new alternator as well but it just loses power and shuts off, kant even put it in park or turn the car off if i try before all power shuts down.... and i dont have the vent nipple thing on my battery, theres a hose looks cut but i just watchdd a video to moreless clean the positive whole square thing and it shows something clamped in to the backside of the battery, mines never had one i guess, since i bought it (used) i kant enjoy take off speed anymore since the transmission, and i hesitates to go in gear if i let my mate drive it, its weird but after a while it evens back out.... but very sensitive..... on my 3rd battery overall as well.....

[@dw_moto]

Currently drive a Veloster N as a daily/track/autocross car and was thinking about picking up one of these as a daily driver. Thanks for the review!

[@Xtalgic]

Hell ya! Always wanted to test drive one of those, heard they’re incredible, especially for the value.

[@dw_moto]

@@Xtalgic they are an absolute blast! I have some autocross and track footage on my channel. It's a riot. Not that bad of a daily driver, but you can tell the focus was on performance and not comfort. I watched your video all the way through and I recall hearing about the piston ring issue last time I was researching this car. Is that only on the V8 models or do the V6 models have the issue as well? I was kind of leaning towards the V6

[@Xtalgic]

@@dw_moto def will check out those video. And the only motor affected was the 5.0 and early production years in 2012.

[@dw_moto]

@@Xtalgic great, thanks for the reply! I'm in the Chicagoland area so the Autobahn Country Club track might sound familiar to you. I also recall you saying you do some rallies in your Genesis - I'm guessing you mean traditional road rallies where you try to maintain a certain speed over a set route? I was looking into trying one of those next year, sounds fun. Curious which ones you do! Thanks for posting this. By far the best long term review on this car. There are tons of videos on the car when it was new, but I really care about how it is in the long term after it's got some miles on it. Thanks for the quick replies, and I wish you and yours a happy new year!

[@Xtalgic]

Thanks man! All the raillies and cruises I’ve done are on the channel. And if you’re ever down, I’d love to film your N. Lemme know!

You drive with the TPMS light on, never replaced the sensors that are only good for 6-8 years??

I had to replace the motor due to oil consumption and the ac compressor. My battery and alternator is still stock surprisingly.

[@tonichecavalari5956]

I have my eyes on a 2010 and a 2012 right now. Both look like new in the photographs. No chips, no flaws visible in photo's. The tan interior front seats are the only thing that look a bit dirty and a little worn. The 2010 has 87,000 miles on it and the 2012 has 117,000. I'm thinking of aiming for the 2010 because it's cheaper than the 2012 by five thousand dollar's and it has less miles. I love the ritzy style and l hear the ride is quiet, stable and comfortable on the highway. The 4.6 V8 is a plus for me because l'm a fan of V8's . Keep up on maintenance, keeping the engine clean and in top form is an old school Hot Rodder thing for me . But ' at the same time, l want some cushioning comfort at my age. I can't wait to test drive one and see it front of me. I hope it's not a small car !

This video is awesome. My 2013 5.0 Genesis is having the same parking sensor issue. Are you planning to fix that? I'd be very interested if you make a video fixing that in the future haha

[@Xtalgic]

Possibly haha for my sanity I probably should.

[@kerpail]

Have a 2013 3.8 that I bought last year at 100,000 km. Only issues I had was the parking sensor you mentioned (just turned the feature off to avoid the beeping) and my passenger side mirror motor was faulty (bought a used one and replaced it myself). Other than that I love it. Will keep an eye out for the sunroof though, I use it everyday.

[@Xtalgic]

Glad to hear you haven’t had many issues! And I believe my sunroof broke because I never used it tbh.

[@benkemp5621]

Love the videos. Great content. I am very close to buying a 13 r spec 92k KM’s on it. I appreciate you saying you love The car and it’s reliable, but I kinda feel like these electronic issues are being downplayed. It just seems like there are a lot of them, is this common? To be honest I would rather mechanical problems than electronics. Way easier to fix and often cheaper too. Anyhow, love the videos, love the car. Perhaps someone can let me know if these issues are in fact common.? Is the consensus that everyone loves their Genny?

[@leahflanigan3605]

I have the first model 2009, built in Korea in 2008. My big issue is the electronic push button start. It does not always start on the first try. Sometimes I will try once, or twice. And it'll start up. Sometimes it will start up, after I've completely taken my foot off the brake, and the button. Two seconds later, sometimes as if there is a delayed reaction. Sometimes I have to wait 20, or 30 minutes and try it again later. Is that a common complaint? And if so, what can that be attributed to?

[@Xtalgic]

This isn’t a common problem no, I don’t hear a lot about issues with the push button. I would try inserting your Fob in the slot and trying it that way.

Thanks for the video. My 2015 has 70,000KM (43400 Miles) so no problems yet except one of the sensors on the front bumper is acting up. I put a small square of black tape over it. The car doesn't have auto braking so no problem. I did change the front brake pads at 63000KM (37800). My only issue is with the battery. Its not a sealed unit so once a year ( in November). I check the level in each cell and top up with distilled water. It did overflow and dripped on to the driveway so my bad.

Information is very hard to come by and there aren't a lot of these cars around where I live, so any video is helpful. Thanks a lot! Sadly I can't buy the 2016 generation of this car, because they are so young that I would have to pay €10.000ish on extra emissions taxes in my country. These have more of an age discount though, and should run me only around 1.5-3.5k extra depending on the year.

There are no transmission issues with the 2010 using the 3.8. The Engine/Transmission issues began in 2012 when they introduced new engines and the 8 speed transmission. They use reliable transmissions for the 2010 models i believe the same ones that Toyota uses.
