Amazing! Always good to see another high-miler Genesis! I have the early non-GDI 3.8 which is now 15 years old and at 320,000 miles - and I’m never getting rid of mine either!

[@BigCrackaStacka]

Year?

[@MrT-nh6di]

Awesome

[@paulmiller4059]

Are you still on the original timing chain. My 2010 with 3.8. Has 232k miles

[@AllyMcLesbian]

@@paulmiller4059 Yes. There is a known issue with the tensioner that makes the timing chain make noises at cold startups, but I've never had issues with timing or anything else. Apparently it's an easy fix for South Korean home market customers but it's more difficult stateside due to higher labor costs and less familiarity with the engine.

[@PabloJustChillin]

I was able to get a 3.8 with 32k miles on it and I’ve loved every one of the 15k miles I’ve put on it. Glad everyone else is enjoying theirs like I enjoy mine.

[@MaguffinMan]

I was around for 100k!!!!!!! I also hate sunroofs. One time I opened one and a bug fell on my head.....never again

[@GEPTuned]

once you are done with maintenance, add transmission oil cooler to it and lets do custom ECU / TCU tune, you will be amazed how drastically car will change, how responsive and powerful it will get on 93 or even tune it for full E85 fuel. we can optimize power, throttle responsiveness, Fan settings for better cooling, fuel economy on light trottle, adjust rpm and speed limiters. basically transform car to a real monster same time maintaining safety and reliability.

[@Kimjongun5.0]

197k and killing it!

[@adrianmendez1653]

I appreciate you man not giving up on the genesis

[@Jaeslecan]

I had a 2012 3.8 Sedan at 250k miles before I got rid of it- and it was still great! I'm getting a R Spec 5.0 this next week!

[@robertrodriguez8167]

Nice seeing you and the Genesis. Good update.

[@Mike.Keeping]

Great video as always! Nice to see the Genny is still being enjoyed. Mine's a baby in comparison at around 60,000 miles.

[@normalkid488]

i was around when he had only 250 subs! great vids they are so underrated

[@catchmonster]

Thanks for the video, I have r5 spec 2013. This beast wraps 430hp. With meticulous tires and brakes, this car can move and shake. I spent here and there, but as the author points out it is a super low maintenance cost luxury sports car. For me leather is cool but not for occasional dog and wear and tear. It does not last forever. Air and electronics do mess up, and plain electrical contacts are also not super durable. But the engine is just an incredible V8. Transmission is ok but it is slowly giving up. Still 180k is pretty good. I had a lot of fun with this car...

[@630Cars]

Would love to see this thing supercharged. It already is pretty quick.

[@joeyvalenti7764]

Aye was waiting for this man

[@aaronfisher7513]

Been looking around and you inspired me to get this car I'm gonna buy one with 100k miles on it hopefully next week

[@saveyourself7]

I still have my 2013 5.0 R Spec with 128,000 miles. And I love the car. The paint on the car is not good quality, but I got it retouched, and it looks great. I will need to replace the coilovers, but other than that, everything still works great. I don't drive it as much, so it should last me for another 10-15years. Hopefully 😅

[@vanhalenplayer]

You know me as a loyal fan because we've had the same exact Genesis for years together, same exact year, 5.0L R-Spec with Black Pearl paint..... we've even chatted online about advanced stock trading on some of of your live chats....but I can't thank you enough for this video. I feel the same exact loyalty to this car. I've owned multiple Mustang GT 5.0's in the past....and I still love a good high-powered GT mustang......,but this 2012 5.0L R-Spec is STILL my baby that I drive every day.....and I STILL surprise those cocky Dodge's, Camaros and Mustangs with what this sleeper can do. I think it has a lot to do with that first & second gear (granny gears) in her 8-speed transmission. Those two gears will jerk you into the backseat!! I would love to have the funds to put a high performance blower on this engine....at that point those young kids wouldn't know what to do when they see me blow by them with a luxury sleeper....lol. Maybe someday the California tect's will come up with a blower kit for this engine!! I mean come'on....the Tau 5.0L is the same engine as the Mustang 5.0L engine. ..... In fact the Korean engineers got with the engineers at Ford to make the same engine for the Genesis!

[@mackfar27]

I honestly knew that. I was told the 5.0L is derived from Mitsubishi. In any case, I am on my second Genesis 5.0. My first one was a 2015 and now have the 2018 G80 5.0 with AWD. Absolutely love this car that I turned around and got another one. I am going to look into the Ford and Hyundai 5.0 collaboration and should be real interesting. I was introduced to Genesis by the help of this guy, and another KZbinr.

[@narmen1984]

I love that you still have this as your daily! I had a 2015 (different model I know) and I kinda miss it. I had it paid off, and I am single with no kids etc. So I had the itch to get something new! I knew I could afford a decent monthly payment... My big thing was NOT losing any tech. Adaptive Cruise was a must. I had an NB Miata at the time as well.... So I wanted to sell both and just have ONE car and for that car to be a convertible. Though I probably could've afforded it, I didn't want to spend 70k on a European 'vert. I actually settled on a 2020 EcoBoost Mustang. Yes a drop in luxury lolol... But really it isn't bad. Leather seats, decent speakers, all the bells and whistles - digital dash, adaptive cruise, heated steering wheel, carplay... PLUS I get to put the top down all summer!! I have winter tires on it for Minnesota winters and it works perfectly. - I have tuned it and added every bolt-on possible so I'm in the high 300rwhp. - My wants were all satified - Adaptive Cruise - Convertible - Snappy throttle and "feels" fast with all the torque. - Though I think this will be my last car for a long time, I do think about getting a G70 and tuning it to 400-500hp. That would be a blast. I work remote so I only put like 3000 miles on it a year lol

[@jaec4586]

I am driving my 2011, 4.6 Gen, 11 years, 140k still strong in Chicago weather. I have same issues but it’s good engine and transmission.

[@Athinathegreek]

Got a 2013 r spec sedan with 117k miles myself, driven hard it’s whole life. No issues these cars are so insanely slept on and unknown

[@AiykRichie]

Was thinking of getting one

[@henrygreene7845]

I purchased my V6 Genesis April 2012. I have 235,348 miles. I live north of Atlanta Ga. I replaced the spark plugs at 200,000 miles. The plugs looked in good shape. I change antifreeze at 100,000 and 200,000... I change the BELT at 200,000, My hand on a bible I could not tell the old one from the new one. ZERO cracks. It does burn 2 quarts of OIL between changes.... The car ride is still smooth. I had the brakes replaced at 150,000 miles .. No other parts replaced on the car/ ALL work on this Genesis was completed at the dealership. If anyone want to verify my auto history . I will give permission for the dealership to release the information

[@concretechad]

Good video on a very reliable car.

[@raymondwelcome7164]

Thanks so much for taking time and sharing your experience with your Genesis. You’re a good brother. God bless you man.

[@outoftheblue6587]

Love to hear this, i have had 3 genesis and 1 equus. My only complaint is with the v6. Ive had two that have had shifting issues and slamming gears between 2nd and 3rd gear. Its more common with the v6 but can happen on the v8. Anybody who is considering a older genesis especially a v6, please be aware that the transmission slipping is a common problem. My 2012 genesis 3.8 is having this issue currently so I'm looking at updating with a g80 or g90 even though i love the older model.

[@moayed7510]

What is the mileg they did it?

[@vera_bh8091]

2011 4.6 6 speed Tech package 2 year ownership I did the brembo swap and have done some crazy shot to this car and im planning on a widebody next and air suspension, comfort wise fucking love it. super quiet and very great audio system, stupid amazing gas mileage and overall ride comfort. colorado has shit roads and i only really complain on bumpy roads. im on 20 inch rubber bands with a lil more meat. regarding the brembo swap it feels like I have cut my braking distance in half. kinda noisy but kind've cool too. car turns head and Ive had a blown alternator, cracked sunroof rail, mirror turn signal stop working[have part lazy to fix] sometimes the windows dont go up or down it happens randomly never lasts longer than 5 seconds. my front right has 0.7 degrees of camber so some maintenance is needed their suspension wise after 100k miles the car has very good everything except slight bushing cracks on the lower control arms. tranny slips rarely when cold only once from 3rd to 4th and Ive put subs in this boat and shaked the panels off. planning to force induce this car and drive it till the frame bends. love it would buy another. never ate a drop of oil every oil change. synthethic mobil one every 5k. this car rips for the price and its a very great daily.

[@Genesis385]

Fingers crossed on my 2011 4.6 for the door lock situation. Bought it with just under 102k and we’re approaching 147k now. Only issue I’ve had with them so far is my passenger front door has gotten sticky a couple times for whatever reason, but they’re all good at the moment. One things for sure though, I’m glad we don’t have the same winter problems down here in Alabama. 😅 dropped a decent chunk of change over the past few months to get my exhaust done and I’d be upset if I got under the car and saw it looking like that.

Hey I was really hoping to ask a question about my 2011 4.6 genesis. Im replacing the radiator and trying to understand the oil cooler. It seems to go through a small radiator in the front of the car and also through the main radiator on the side. Does that seem right? How does your 5.0 R-spec compare? I have a suspicion that my oil cooler may be having problems and Im wondering if I can disconnect it from the smaller radiator in the front and run it just through the main radiator. Thanks for your time.

I have 93k on my 2012 it was manufactured in September of 2011. I’m having problems with oil consumption. Burning about a qt every 800-1000 miles. Done some research and it seems like the heat trap from all the carbon deposits plays a big roll in burning the oil. Do you think walnut blasting it would make any difference? Motor runs perfectly fine just can’t hold oil.

Hey Extalgic, I bought a used 2009 Sedan and I just notice today that the rear tire spacing between the tire wells is narrower by half inch compare to the front? I think this makes the ride bumpy and creaks because the car is like tilted up or the back is lowered. I showed it to my mechanic and he said this is normal for this car. I beg to differ. I think the spacing should be equal for front and back tire. I really need help cause now I am noticing more creeks coming from the back I couldnt pinpoint the sources. Thanks.

Another problem I had was the window regulators, I tend to enjoy driving with my windows down, one day hit a bump and the rear driver's side window straight up fell out of the regulator and into the door panel.
