[@luxr6107]

Excited for this in person review! LFG

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@darrell9616]

Thanks for the review. I've had my eye on this car for a while but have never driven it. Your observations have piqued my curiosity.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Glad the content was useful my friend!

[@darrell9616]

@@MeynMotorGroup It sounds like the Acura is your favorite in this class. I want to drive one, but they're hard to find. BMW's steering just leaves me cold, although they've improved their recent adaptive suspensions.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yes the Type S that I drove was very good but def do a thorough test drive on it because many complained that the 10 speed transmission did not perform great. My test vehicle was fine but something to watch out for. Audis are a bit boring as well but credit where credit is due, they marry together sport and comfort without too many compromises and S5 sportback can be had for some good deals.

[@stevenpipitone4401]

Great review !!! When I test drove the rear wheel drive model I was laughing because it wanted to do burn outs all the time I flirted it . Ultimately I choose the TLX Type S because of the better handling , beautiful ride and that amazing ELS Studio sound system it’s really that good .

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Massive congrats on your new Type S great car I really enjoyed it

[@Superfastjellyfish669]

As someone who owns a 22 stinger I’m surprised at how good the chassis is and that 2.5t is pretty good

[@Excalabur50]

Yet another on point review, it was funny I'm sitting here and I said damn that's got a really nice growl and a minute later you said it's got a nice growl :)

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Haha now that’s pretty cool and yes sir this was def a great sounding machine they did a good job with that exhaust

[@Excalabur50]

@@MeynMotorGroup Gotta say I'm still liking what they're doing at Genesis, they seem to be making well rounded, well built machines and if they can address some of the slight negatives that you rightfully pointed out, they really would have some absolute bangers on their hands. TBF I don't think the negatives detract from them on the whole and if it were within my means I'd deffo buy one, but since I'm getting older it would have to be a GV rather than a G just to make it easier on my old crippled ass!

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea my friend I do believe this is still a great purchase at the right price or lease deal. V6 and now for 2024 the 4cylinder seems to be good value

[@Leah006]

G70 is my dream car

[@jeffamburgey7485]

Everything they make looks good, I've never driven one. Kinda ridiculous how all of these manufacturers "charge" for a color. It seems I always want the upcharge color. Hopefully, the paint you pay the upcharge for is a more expensive paint, but I'm doubtful. It's probably a great 2 year old low mile bargain car. The ES is so good, I'm not sure if it makes sense to not at least drive one before you decide. Great review.

[@Aniki1111]

These are my favorite kind of reviews you make. I actually like the "old schoolness (not really 😂) of this car. Maybe it's just because its the cars i grew up with I feel like 5w30 helps with longevity of engine, and in my elantra I genuinely preferred cable carplay instead of fumbling with bluetooth settings and it kept my phone charged

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Thank you my friend! And yea using the wire is def not the end of the world in fact it will work better

[@gsxellence]

I love them AWD is the best

[@AbsolutMassager]

Yu know it was because of your reviews I ended up in a Lexus GSF. Currently done full body wrap/tinting with a 2 tone Flexishield wrap, FBO with E85 tune has me at 451whp top end, plus I’m rolling it out with a bit of a Disney-Hawaiian theme.

[@johnl.38]

What is FBO for that platform? I have seen headers, exhaust, and intake but that's it and I doubt new intakes do much

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Wow very nice my friend that is def an epic car. Lexus is also one of those brands that know how to do luxury and sport. Enjoy

[@Milkinporsche]

Great decision, you are gonna enjoy it for a long run.

[@philhenderson3516]

I went from the GSF to a G80 5.0 and haven't looked back. It's a FAR more comfortable ride, better equipped, and feels just as fast despite the additional 600lbs. I only wish the exhaust sounded as good as the GSF (nothing a custom exhaust can't fix) but everything else the Genesis has the upper hand. Fuel consumption was also surprisingly better than what I was getting in the GSF. About 23 mpg avg vs 19 mpg on the GSF. And it'll take regular as well unlike the GSF. It's a shame the Hyundai V8 got discontinued, it had potential for more, especially in a smaller platform like the G70 or Stinger. Enjoy the GSF and never let go of it. As I understand it, Lexus is bound to discontinue the 5.0 V8 next year, and it makes sense given that the LC500 and RCF have already gotten the axe in markets outside of the USA.

[@AbsolutMassager]

@@philhenderson3516 Genesis has a nice line of good looking vehicles but as an ex Hyundai Genesis coupe v6 owner I had a terrible experience as a customer and vowed to never own another Hyundai product again. LC500 and RCF will be missed when they’re gone. From my stats out of the ~3000 GSFs nearly 40% have been totaled or running on salvaged titles

[@Angelbonilla1982]

Love the G70!! The only thing that I don't like is the fake vents at lower end!!

[@TheRedRaven_]

The vents on the quarter panels are functional.

I just leased a g70 3.3t the sound isn't that great....how can I fixed it?

[@tennisguru78]

Would love to see your review/take on newer Volvo s60 series cars. Especially the B5. In terms of ride comfort, interior quality, isolation, and technology when compared to the Genesis g70, TLX, IS, 3 series, and A4

[@MeynMotorGroup]

I think I was supposed to get an S60 not sure what happened to it. Will try to get one in other ways

[@evans.3720]

had the 21 t6, looked at the 2024 B5 because of how much I LOVED the t6... far less infotainment controls than my 21 had, it did not get along with my pixel 6 (despite both the infotainment and phone being google designed products), and I hate the electonic paddle gearshift (had it in a 2019 s40) vs the stalk my 21 had. drives nicely, great gas mileage, less power than the t6 had, but supposedly more reliable vs the super+TC. Dealership also gave attitude and was trying to shove a color combo i hated on me, or a XC60. long story short, drove the lexus is350, acura tlx s, genesis g70, audi s5, bmw m340i. Narrowed it down to the is350 and the g70 for a variety of reasons. s60 blows all the rest away in rain/snow driving, seat comfort longer term, safety, and short of the levinson system, audio quality ... really hated that the dealership, infotainment (audio controls mainly) and paddle transmission vs stalk killed my love of the car.

[@SuperFitness12]

I really like this car! Looks awesome. 👏

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Glad you like it!

[@tastytreats6195]

Wish they would go back to the single headlights. This split view just doesn't work for me.

[@rorythomson3439]

Jist wish it had some proper quad pipes at the back

[@MeynMotorGroup]

That would be a nice look

[@user-handlethetruth]

I wanted to love this vehicle, but it is really a coupe. There is no back seat room for adults, and the trunk is tiny. I would rather a used GS350 over this vehicle. More versatile, and the depreciation will be less. The turbo V6 will far surpass the performance of the GS350, but reliability? The G70 will be a much better finished vehicle than the stinger, though with less room.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

GS is a great car Lexus is another company that knows how to blend comfort and sport with no compromises and their engines have a ton of character

[@philhenderson3516]

I think the G70 is a pretty reliable car. Haven't read of issues with the turbo V6 engine on the forums. There have been examples of the 3.3T going past 170,000 miles with only regular maintenance so that's reassuring. Their 4 cylinder engines however are a different story...

[@user-handlethetruth]

That’s good information

[@theodoreyoung8777]

[@upup209]

It’s better than a BMW and Audi and Mercedes because it does not have start/stop

[@bigden2755]

SMH

[@Angelbonilla1982]

Let's choose people!! Acura TLX type S 🆚 Audi 4S 🆚 BMW M340 🆚 Mercedes Benz C63 🆚 G70. For me M340 is beast!! Hands down even though love G70 interior design is gorgeous!! Acura cheap interior and Audi we'll same interior design since 2021!! Mercedes-Benz to expensive! ,

[@SuperSaqer]

It doesn't stand a chance vs the IS500 nor the Q50 Red Sport.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Nope it def does not

[@johnl.38]

IS500 costs a lot more and doesn't come in awd. The Q50 is one of the easiest to steal vehicles in the US and is in top 10 for most stolen vehicles lmao. Also tuned, the G70 is on par with a tuned Q50.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Every car is easy to steal takes minutes for thieves to take any car so that's a moot point.

[@bigden2755]

On what ?? 0-60, tech, room .. ???

[@legeno.]

It will be discontinued soon.

[@bigden2755]

lol

[@canomalo3662]

Interior entertainment and drivers gauges look outdated All other luxury cars have larger screens IMO they are lagging behind now

[@MrWuggles]

The only reason anyone buys a new G70 is the same reason anyone buys a Ghost instead of a Phantom. They can’t afford the real deal.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

That’s very cute but we all know Genesis gives you more for the money than competitors so not exactly a valid comparison.

[@sanchoelmatador]

What would the real deal be?

[@MeynMotorGroup]

@@sanchoelmatador the generic Euro Car trio that everyone worships + Acura & Lexus although I’m sure this fellow is only referring to the Euro stuff.

[@sanchoelmatador]

@@MeynMotorGroup I figured. I test drove all of the competitors and decided on the '24 Genesis G70 3.3 Sports Prestige. Very happy!

[@johnl.38]

@@sanchoelmatador same the best in segment is arguably the m340i but you pay a lot more for marginal gains... everything else in segment other than the g70 is kind of lack luster for one reason or another
