We have a 2018 Genesis G90 5.0, and a 2019 Genesis G80 3.8, and they have never given us any trouble. The cars are kept clean inside and out, and are maintained as per the maintenance schedules. They have proven to be quite comfortable, easy to drive cars with quiet, roomy cabins, comfortable seats with plenty of amenities and driver-assistance equipment such as lane-keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, multiple cameras and parking sensors. We often feel quite spoiled. Our only worry is that if something should happen to one of them, the prices on the newer models have climbed up out of our reach financially. Our dealership regularly services cars just like ours that have high mileage, including a G80 that has over 260K miles on the odometer. Any machine will wear out given enough time and use. Regular maintenance, and overall driving habits have a large impact on whether or not a car remains on the road or not. We feel these cars have been an excellent value.

Both have a 1.6L diesel engine. I’m not sure if the problems are more common with gasoline engine versions or specifically with models designed for the U.S. market. The diesels, at least, seem to be extremely durable and reliable, among the most dependable cars available. And my experiences are based on cars in Finland, where roads are heavily salted, and the freezing temperatures and overall weather conditions are generally far from ideal for keeping cars in good condition.

Ngl. I've seen so many of these hit 300k miles. The owner never gave it an oil change. I'm going to buy one next year. 230k miles on my 3.3 Sonata, and 207k miles on my Genesis coupe 2.0t

I've seen it many times. I had employees in the past with junkers like that - one guy had an older Maxima and the brakes were making a scraping sound. He didn't know anything about cars, and I told him dude, you need to get new pads, because your rotors are metal to metal. He just kept driving it. A few weeks later, he heard a loud clanking sound and lost his brakes. Two rotors were literally like old-fashioned vinyl record albums - just thin disks, and had broken off of the center of the rotor and were flopping around. They tore up the calipers and severed one brake line.

8 years and 80,000 miles on my Genesis. zero issues.A luxurious , troublefree car. Love it. Powerful , dead silent, Zero oil consumption. Fun to drive fast on the Mass Pike. All the complex electric toys work. No reason to get a new car as all new cars today are shamelessly overpriced junk.

Yep, this. It's easy to say, I know, and be THAT person pointing out the negatives. But if ya wanna rev the balls off it to see if it dies, do it on your own property. Blowing a motor up on the highway, spreading shrapnel and oil everywhere... Makes a good video but isn't too intelligent really...

I'm experiencing this same issue right now. My 2014 Hyundai Sonata SE 2.0T with 106k miles is dying. Not completely dead but definitely about to die.
