2018 Genesis G80 3.3T Sport RWD - POV Driving Impressions (Binaural Audio)

[@azera55555]

This car is so great, just a perfect interior layout and good looking exterior and everything looks so solid. Would definitely get over a Lexus.

[@leadhead3221]

Couldn't agree with you more.

[@xxcon2ionsxx470]

As a Lexus fan, I would definitely get one of these.

[@yujuyyu]

@@mrknowmyself As someone who's only bought Lexus, and works for Lexus. Im glad I bought a G80. 50k and its been fantastic.

@Mahdi_ODM 2018,

[@ConradB]

I just bought a 2019 G80 Sport AWD. put 200 km on it. So far so good.

[@cbet25]

Patrick Nelson I wish I could get the RWD but with the winters in Ohio it’s just not doable

[@byronbranch4645]

@@cbet25 it is bro. I just got one. Bout to be doing sone doughnuts when the snow hits..but it's a 4600.lb.vehicle. so I'm not too worried about the winter..plus snow has been a hella weak these past few Winters. You could always get a 2000 AUDi s4 for a beater for like 4.50 since their resale value is garbage 🤣

[@pepehands8224]

love the functional but subtle interior of this car.

[@ARentz07]

I drove a G80 5.0 recently, and I wholeheartedly agree - it's a beast! Not so much an outright beast, but if you drive it "normally" for a bit, then start driving fast, it's surprising how much power it has, and how it handles decently. I also agree, the ride quality is phenomenal, and the transmission is near-perfect. In my few days with the G80 I noticed the shifting out of first weirdness you mentioned as well, but only with Sport mode. I think Sport mode is just kinda weird on this car. Anyway, very nice to see your perspective on it as always!

[@NA-du5vm]

I own the 2018 G80 Sport, it's my wife daily driver and it's an exceptional car. She gets compliments and stares all the time. Compared to the competitors this car is an absolute bargain.

[@heartcomedy5]

The infotainment is like the Nissan/Infiniti infotainment. Not my favorite in terms of design and size but works very good and is reliable

[@JoshHiltonian]

Hey, love your videos man, great quality! I currently drive an Infinit G35 2007 base and am looking to upgrade to something larger and more luxurious. Appreciate the work you do on these videos. You really get a sense of the car from your videos.

[@mrburgermaster]

I love the layout of the interior and how everything flows.

[@Sonic_1000]

The Koreans have surpassed Acura in this class, by a LOT. And Mazda has no chance.

[@weedmastersr]

I don't think Mazda ever competed in the luxury sedan segment.

[@andyjung3387]

umm... the Genesis is as good as a Lexus. I wouldn't say they are better in every aspect, but the Genesis G80 and the Genesis brand in some ways are superior to Lexus, nearing an Audi.

[@MidnightAspec]

Come back to us in five years and let’s compare the average condition of this versus a TLX.

[@A_guan]

Protector of the Republic mazda makes premium vehicles but doesn't compete in that class

[@Juganator]

Acura’s have been pretty boring for about a decade. Last cool car they made was the 2008 TL-S. They can’t compete until they make something RWD.

[@TheGomer84]

This car is already an older design. Some will say long in the tooth. To each their own I suppose. I think this is a car that has aged beautifully over the last few years. I think it’s still a looker to this very day... And I believe it will for a long time to come.

[@brandongary8234]

My next luxury car and it's not M series AMG SRT TYPE R of sport and power but better handling and steering than the regular G80

[@jumpymonkey00]

That’s first gear getting stuck is a Hyundai thing. I have it happen in my Tucson every so often and the floaty steering wheel feel. Glad to see the acceleration and power is decent in this. Plan on making this my next car.

[@AndyHiepVu]

I’m so glad you did this video! I was waiting for someone to do a good review and yours are ON POINT! Thank you very much !!! Can you do a video at night too?

[@goons123flofy]

Love this review! Lots of good detail and insight.

[@weedmastersr]

Also, keep doing what you're doing man. It's the work of God.

[@maximus9401]

When are you getting your hands on a Stinger GT? That's the car everyone's glowing about, and this engine is much better suited to it

[@sabbysodhi5029]

Why dont you use non copyright music to show us the sound system as you have binaural microphone which are pretty good ?

[@_Mario_PL_]

Agree with you on that.

[@정원우-z5j]

Using Binaural microphone is not for recording high resolution sound.

[@정원우-z5j]

It’s for recording surround sound

[@CyberBytePro]

it's still good for getting a slight understanding of the interior acoustics.

[@Sinoops]

I doubt his microphone is high enough quality for properly testing a sound system.

[@mustasheolll2020]

It’s a great looking vehicle.

[@gamelauncher9821]

There was a Cadillac CT6 before you at 6:03 those are really nice too, but expensive

[@leadhead3221]

Great review, and thank you for your contribution!

[@Blue-moon12]

Just traded my 2016 Accord Coupe V6 Touring for a 2018 G80 Sport. Pick it up in 4 days

[@alvincolon1]

How is it brother? I have a 2017 Honda Accord Touring v6 but thinking about picking this up some day or the newer 2021 version since that one looks so much better, is the quality of this car really there?

[@deebee0712]

I am anxious to go buy mine. I'm planning to purchase the 2019, but it's pretty much the same as the 2018, so whichever I can find with low mileage and cost, and not white or black exterior,,,I will have it in my garage next April.

[@autofascynacje]

A really nice car. This engine sounds more like a 4-cyl one...

[@NUCLEATI0N]

Hi Chris. I'm a big fan of your channel. I've noticed that you've never reviewed a mazda 3. I was wondering if you could get your hands on one - I'd really like to know what you think of it! (I've heard its a decent drivers car?)

[@AugieRomero]

Noticing that you get full torque on the 3.3 Turbo starting at 1,300 rpm, and for the 5.0 starts at 5,000 rpm. As much as I like V8's, I love low end torque from take off. Which would you recommend for me?

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

I'd recommend the 3.3T. I want quiet, low-end torque, and the six provides it. The V8 is more powerful on the top end, and sounds fantastic, but I'll take the 3.3T for the low-end torque, and take about 150 lbs off the front axle. :) So I have a G90 3.3T on order. :-)

[@tonyf935]

I leased a 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan. This would have been the car to get, had they offered it at the time. No-brainer!

You have no power here Protector of the Republic

[@adam9936]

This interior is seriously outdated...I'll wait to see what's in the refresh in two years down the line.

[@weedmastersr]

No, it's a classic layout, which works best. Unlike those stupid Tesla interiors that have no buttons and knobs and are a danger to use on the road.

[@adam9936]

Protector of the Republic I’m not a fan of Tesla interiors either, but this mikes behind Mercedes/Audi/bmw in looks and materials used. It may be functional, but it’s not great looking.

[@IReahpZz]

Adam Ibrahim or get a g70 or Kia stinger gt...... The gt has more storage and is nearly as big, and cheaper

[@adam9936]

Wedow I really like the stinger GT but unfortunately I’m an admitted badge snob and could never drive a Kia...much less one that costs $50k

[@banantwon]

I love the interior because it fits the character I want in an interior perfectly. I don’t like dramatic interiors, so to see simple lines and layouts through the interior and exterior puts a grin on my face.

Almost 60 grand for a Korean car? Wtf . And this guy complains about the 38k fully loaded Camry v6, wow.

56K for a Hyundai? No thanks. With a 3.3T engine they should be getting well over 450 bhp.

[@ARentz07]

I suggest you drive it - I have driven the 5.0 and it feels every bit worth the money.

[@gamelauncher9821]

Sam Mikhail well its not Hyundai anymore its Genesis and fully loaded for that price it's worth it the competition they are the one's that don't worth you have to think how it going to look over time then it going to seem to be a waste of money if the competition is going to sell there cars for that much money make the tech standard some of them you end up paying $11-15, 000 for options that will definitely break in a year
