Is Genesis Worth it? 6+ Month Overview

I got 52.000 miles on mine it’s a 2022! I bought it brand new with 41 miles on it! Still haven’t had any issues, and I drive it like I stole it for all those 52,000 miles! It’s never not in sports + mode 😂

[@jayjohnson-t2y]

does it hold gears? heard it auto downshifts. fkn annoying as hell, even in sport plus or custom mode. I ended up with q50 redpsort. it has 3 levels of dampening adjust ment. turns into a monster when in custom mode with all options turned to maximum. I just wish it was 600hp+ not 400... because then it would be perfect. also needs a bigger grill and AWD. i hope they make one in future like that

With what you are saying about being treated special just because you drive a Genesis, I've not heard of special treatment for BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, etc.. I'm not better than the next person, because I drive a Genesis. Mercedes and BMW people are definitely not better than most people, they shouldn't expect better treatment. Just treat people with respect and a smile. I would NEVER buy a Mercedes, such a poor reliability record on them.

My god you must be driving in NY because some of those drivers are so typical, lol. I'm around 5k on my G70, same model as yours but I have it in Uyuni white. No issues at all, no rattles, no electrical issues, brake issues, nothing. I get so many compliments on the car every day, it sometimes gets tiring because I'll be at the gas station going to work and people just want to talk cars, which is great but sometimes I don't have the time! Lol! But I agree with the dealership issue, they REALLY need to give Genesis their own dealer.

[@genesisg7022]

I purchased my 2019 Genesis G70 3.3.T in April 2019. Currently I have over 104K miles on it. Only things done, schedule Maintenance, replace tires, replace rear Brembo brakes. I drive over 100 miles a day ,to and from work. And I don't Baby My Baby! Only issue that I have, I hear turbo whining noise when I open moonroof cover to let light in when I'm on the freeway.

[@luisherrera7732]

great video. I just got my 2019 G70 3.3T AWD about a month ago and have been loving it. The only thing that I have issues with is the sunroof rattling! Always rattles for me which I can look past but it is damn annoying lol. Thankfully I have music on at all times... Aside from that I'll say the transmission when cold has pretty jerky/rough downshifts going from 3rd to 2nd but apparently this is very common as well across Stingers and G70s.

[@pkoya341]

The rattle is caused by the rubber drying and rubbing. Get a rubber treatment with foam applicator from Amazon and run it along the rubber and it will be fixed

[@bnewt1139]

Great video review! Ended up going to Vegas a couple weeks ago and traded in a 2022 VW Taos for a new 23 G70 2.0 AWD Sport Prestige. Previously had a 07 Infiniti G35 then a 09 G37, bioth great cars for the time and we really missed having a sport sedan in the garage since we sold the G37. Love the 3.3 and would have gotten one if they had a base 3.3 on the lot, but the 2.0 in AWD suits our needs just right, my "need for speed" isn't what it once was, being over 60 and having plenty of quick cars, this one feels just right! Really a buttoned-down overall package, has decent acceleration and very responsive steering and tight overall vehicle. The metallic black finish w/ the red leather interior is such a nice look, very happy w/ this car and hopefully it will continue to exceed our expectations. Their is one thing I wish they would have done, have dual exhaust spaced in the back like the Infinti, don't care for the twin pipes together on one side w/ the 2.0 or the wide ovals on the 3.3. And yeah, the 3.3 is the bad boy for sure, but the 2.0 still feels a big naughty and nice!

[@derred723]

I. have a Mercedes and here in LA and Suburban LA neither Mercedes dealer even offered me a ride home recently. The LA one I had to beg and plead and nearly get mad just to get a loaner for a two day repair. And at one point they they said, we might brake x as part of the repair and you'll have to pay to replace that broken part too. I was like "Wait! So fixing my broken car you might brake other stuff that's not broken now and you want to charge me? How about do no harm. How about not brake more stuff?" So trust that they don't give you any sort of door to door service either. Torrance has been nice and cordial for repairs and recalls. But one reason i go elsewhere now is, aside from the ridiculous markup, If i have to take the bus home anyways another shop is closer and cheaper now that i'm out of warranty

[@blueshark3098]

Thanks for the great review. I bought a 3.3 Sport Prestige a few weeks ago, and I really like the car so far. Still doing break in miles (under 700 so far), so have not really been driving it like a loon, yet. I really like the driving experience. My only quibbles so far are the quality of some of the interior plastics. The parking button plastic is soft enough that I can already see small scratch lines in it. They should have used either metal or a harder plastic at such a frequent touch point. I have seen a similar complaint about the plastic on the electronic parking brake lever, tho I have not seen that on mine yet. Everything looks great, but some of the cabin switchgear (like the windshield wiper stalk) should be upgraded to something that feels more substantial. The steering wheel in the 2020 Civic Si that I bailed out of to buy this car feels better than this one. Also, the Civic Si has an amazingly stiff and solid feeling chassis. This one, while good, does not feel quite as flutter free as in the Honda. But overall, a really enjoyable car. I anticipate my final grade for it once I start driving it fast will come in around an A- or a high B+. And as far as the looks go, I would prefer this over the current 3 series all day, every day. It just looks less bland and generic than the BMW, to my eyes.

[@jayjohnson-t2y]

does it stay in gear? i heard it auto downshifts. i have g80 and it has the gear seleector option on gearstick and it stays in gear, even red lines. i heard they changed transmission in new genesis cars and it auto down shifts in manual mode :*(

[@MikeYurbasovich]

I passed on the genesis because of interior rattles and I noticed pulling into driveway aprons it felt like the roof and body weren't all solid like the Acura I bought instead. I also don't like bmw, everyone here has one. I wanted something different and glad I went that way. The Jenny was my second choice, but I hated the dealer experience and ended up walking away. Nice car though. I hear they're discontinued soon.

[@ThorXed]

Definitely looking to the G70 as my next car. I currently own an Infiniti Q50 and it’s starting to feel dated. I don’t think it’s worth upgrading to a Red Sport 400 for that price and offering the same thing they have for the past almost 10 years now. That’s where I’m at. I’m ready for Genesis

[@chrischavez722]

Honestly, thanks for your opinion. I have been thinking of whether i should get a Q50 red sport 400 or this G70. But most likely would be the G70. I mean this car cost about $10k less and has a better interior

I just discovered your channel and like it especially cause I just purchased 2023 g70 3.3t rwd with both advanced and sport prestige packages, makalu gray with black wheels and blacked out chrome (was the only one on lot with those specs)! And to think I was thinking of getting a new Lexus IS350 F sport…boy so glad I didn’t! Fyi I was recently in market for new sport/luxury car since I retired from military this year and so I had saved up a pretty penny…I will say this, unfortunately like most dealerships Hyundai marked this up from msrp $55K to $62K because of their own add ons! So I was able to negotiate and I paid $58K OTD…it sucks that I paid over sticker but they were willing to come down some. The previous day I went and test drove Cadillac CT5V fully loaded-msrp $65K but marked up to $70K! I really liked the handling and driving dynamic of that car but dealership wouldn’t negotiate. I have like 200 miles on it so I mostly drive it in comfort mode which feels so good and luxurious. Whenever I do put in sport plus mode it definitely puts a smile on my face, such a joy to drive-handling and acceleration is immense! I also like that it has the auto rev match feature as well! Anyone reading this and in the market do yourself a favor and at least test drive this car in 3.3t with sport prestige package spec (includes brembo brakes all around, HUD, adaptive dampers, LSD, rev match, Michelin sport pilot 4s tires and a few other goodies)…you will see that it holds its own versus Lexus, BMW, Audi, Cadillac etc.

Funny I actually drove this and the lexus is350 f sport, had each for a week. The quality of the lexus was definitely light years ahead of the g70. The g70 is amazing no doubt but just too many questionable reliability problems and poor dealership experiences so it kept me away. The electronics I heard are a big problem down the line and a tough fix. If quality was higher I may have chosen this but the lexus is a magnificent car that will last a lifetime (also gets well over 30 mpg). I am glad youre happy with your g70, would love to hear how its been for you now having owned it for alittle time.

I asked the service advisor at north shore about an intake, spark plugs, and exhaust (really because I’d like a jb4), but he said not to change any parts. If I’m sure it wouldn’t void my warranty, I’d do it in a heartbeat. I’m sure I’ll pass you in the plainview / Hicksville area since I notice every g70 I pass lol.

[@defaultdaniel]

Nice if you see me honk. Honestly, modding being “ok” is relative. Depends on the dealer and who you know. Intakes, rims, exhaust (catback), no dealer can say anything. A tune is pushing it. You can uninstall before taking the car in, but if they try to find it I’m sure they can. Truth is, 99% of the time they won’t look bc they don’t have a reason to, unless you just blew up your engine, turbo, etc, and want a full warrant replacement.

@@defaultdaniel I would remove the jb4 so they wouldn’t see it or the piggy back “tune”. It’s really the spark plugs with a different gap that I would be worried about. I don’t know anyone at the dealer unfortunately, perhaps I’ll start with a cat back just to get a better sound out of it.

@@steven121588 no one will know about the plugs unless you have an engine issue. You have the right idea, just remove the tune if you have a warranty concerning, especially if it’s engine related.

Thanks for the tips. I looking at the GV70.

[@mervstone17]

I ended up choosing the GV70 2.5T advance trim over the G70 mainly as being originally from UK, I hate the impracticality of sedans vs Hatch back and the poor rear leg room which is improved in the GV70 and the rear seat reclining feature when I do carry passengers . I chose the 19 inch rims for better ride quality, mpg and tire cost. 300 hp is more than enough power for city driving . I turned off the pumped in engine sound and love how quiet the cabin is … in Vegas the Hyundai dealer has Genesis side and a new separate Genesis dealership under construction. 2 months in and only 1200 miles .. loving it so far .. I think the overall design elements of all Genesis models improves each new model released .. The GV70 looks like a Porsche Cayenne / Baby Bentley Bentigua hybrid .. gets a lot of looks as it’s still fairly rare ..

[@datgumify]

I love the G70s, they have grown on me by a lot. I'm still deciding wether or not to go with a 3.3t sport prestige or a 2.0t with the sport prestige. I love the looks and would be getting it for all the interior features. The 3.3t is a good platform but it isn't the fastest. As for driving experience I simply love the power that the 3.3t has over the 2.0, however it is a little hard to justify the extra $10k.

[@ak2112]

You HAVE to go with the 3.3. The car just isn't the same with the 2 liter.

[@datgumify]

@@ak2112Interestingly enough, I’ve gotten the chance to drive both. I’ve driven the 2.0T and the 3.3. I love the torque and the power from the 3.3, it’s effortless. It almost reminds me of a small block they way you can just smash the pedal, drop the gears and have it jerk. Now the 2.0T is a respectable car, that 2.0 gets out on it’s on way and isn’t a slouch, not to the 3.3’s level though. However, I felt like the 2.0t was the more nimbler car. It did not feel as front end heavy as the 3.3, it was more neutral going into turns and the tiny turbo would spool up quick. The 3.3 felt more front end heavy and felt a little bit more to deal with. Both models were RWD models. I like them both, love the handling and nimbleness of the 2.0, love the power from the 3.3. Question is now, which one does it narrow down to? Handling or speed? It’s a tough question. Regardless I can’t go wrong with either. Genesis really has done amazing with their lineup and the G70 is nothing short of that. Tough question but winning odds regardless.

[@ThorXed]

It really just depends on personal choice. If you want more HP and velocity to put down on those wheels, I myself would chose the 3.3T immediately but also because it opens it to modifications if that’s your forte. Otherwise I think the 2.0t is a nice option too

[@Hardcaslte]

The dealership experience is interesting to me. I guess if you really are used to some type of special treatment maybe it's like 'oh great now I have to deal with a Hyundai dealership'. But I just can't justify the mindset of buying a BMW or Mercedes for the couple times a year you need to get an oil change done. I can't wrap my head around that mentality. And yes it depends on your dealership, I take mine in, it's not the nicest looking dealership since it's an older building, but they have dedicated Genesis sales reps and they treat me great when I take my car in. For the valet service, I wouldn't use it in any car I have. Are you going to risk 1) some young guy to pick up your nice sports car and not rip around in it a little bit on his way to the dealer, and 2) if something happens and he gets into an accident of any kind how are you going to feel? I take my GV70 to the dealer myself and pick up my loaner every time. Simple, no issues, no chance of someone else wrecking my car or anything weird happening between my house and the dealer. Also like you said, it's good to get to know your service rep. I had a rep let me keep a G70 loaner an extra two days after my GV70 service was done because he knew I was a sports car guy and he knew I'd love to rip around in a G70 for a few days.

Thing rips like crazy, but the funny thing is that my GV70 with AWD can handle high speed corners almost the same speed as this RWD G70, specifically because the backend just starts to slip out so easily. That's fun for sure, but it slows you down if you're taking fast corners on nice roads, etc. I'm curious about an AWD G70 to see how it pulls through corners in comparison, I'd imagine it would have to be faster than the RWD since the front wheels will be able to pull you through like my GV70 does.

[@mcximus]

It's a nice look ride. Not your typical cookie cutter sedan. Me, I would have gotten a SUV version of this one because I have a bad back and getting in and out of an SUV is a lot easier.

[@Hardcaslte]

That's weird about the window trim. I have a GV70 3.5 Prestige and I detail and ceramic coated my car myself. Somehow only the trim around the windows has almost like this hard water damage on it that I can't figure out. also, I'm guessing something with the ceramic coating didn't stick to that trim or something? Same as you, you can polish it off, but I haven't wanted to spend another $150 on a full bottle of ceramic just to coat a little bit of window trim, so the entire SUV looks super clean and amazing, and for now I'm just leaving the trim looking like crap because I don't want to deal with it.

[@lornestein7248]

Been researching used 2022-23 GV70 3.5tt and not impressed. Really love the look but keep reading about common issues. I know the rear differential, tranny actuator are noted problems as well as fading trim. Any advice would be most appreciated.

[@Hardcaslte]

@@lornestein7248 I've seen it only a couple times on the genesis forums where someone had a differential issue but it's not like a pervasive issue across the board. Mine was awesome, I traded it in for a G70 but I didn't have any issues with the GV70 at all. It's an amazing SUV.

Hey man, im buying my first ever car and my budget is enough to buy the 23 g70, is there any other car i should get? I want a brand new sedan, i dont race nor drift and i really care about luxury. Thats why i love the genesis.

[@defaultdaniel]

For the price I think it’s a great entry level luxury sedan, and practical, unless you need a large interior space. Back seat and trunk room was on the smaller side. You can also get the 2.0t if you don’t drive hard. Honestly what sold me on this car was the 3.3t, if I didn’t care about the engine, I’d probably have gotten something else.

Been driving my '22 G70 3.3T Sport Prestige for a year (~10k miles). Hands down the best purchase I ever made in my life. GV80 electric is on the list for my wife. Genesis grew on us fast with how the G70 came out

I own a G80, and I run into electrical issues. Have you seen any on your G70 yet? The safety features, media, and everything shut off

I have a 2018 g80 sport and the car just shut down on me twice (both times while parked). Wouldn't turn on, steering wouldn't turn, brakes wouldn't work and etc. The battery is fairly new.

[@bdepz]

I loved driving my G70 3.3T, but ive had nothing but issues. Common cosmetic issues like messed up chrome trim, cracked headlight assemblies. Parking sensor issues. And of course, the common issue of the headliner creaking and crackling when the car is left out in the sun. Unfortunately, Genesis has done everything in their power to NOT fix these issues. They have claimed the issues don't exist, despite me showing them videos and photos. They claimed the headliner rattle wasnt real, and I spent 30 seconds in the car with the service manager and the issue happened... then they didnt fix it. This is legitimately the worst car service I have ever encountered. I would suggest you look elsewhere for vehicles, and avoid Hyundai and Kia as well. Their warranty is BS, they just deny deny deny and refuse to fix.

[@michaelwu5710]

Just a quick question, how's your fuel economy been so far? I was looking at a G70 but wanted to know what to realistically expect with the 3.3t.

[@sanjay59741]

My cousin owns it (Orlando, Florida) and get 22.5MPG tank to tank with 70% city driving. The highway mileage is great and almost as advertised - 30MPG. But it's a 2L RWD version, not the 3.3L AWD. The 3.3T AWD would be less - maybe around 20MPG. It's a great car. I saw the car when I visited him and was so impressed that I've booked a GV70 which is built on the same platform. But I do not live in the USA.

[@luisherrera7732]

I can confirm Subha's comment. I've owned my 2019 G70 3.3T AWD for about a month and I've been experiencing around 20MPG - 85% city driving. Not the best, not the worst but I do drive a good bit. I've been pumping gas maybe every 5 days or so which isn't super optimal but could be different for you.

[@defaultdaniel]

I averaged about 16mpg but drove spiritedly most of the time. It's not going to get you the best MPG. If you drive it gingerly it can hit 20ish, but that goes against the point of the 3.3T.

[@HandolHani]

great vid, quick question, i just recently bought a g70 had it for a month now(2023 model) i noticed you mention the window treatment that gets roughed up...(ive heard about this too) how did you go about getting the replacement at your dealership? im at 2000 miles but i live in HOT ASS LOS ANGELES and i can already see my window treatment fadeding and scratching, and like you i detail this baby myself. what would you reccomend?

[@defaultdaniel]

Either get it vinyl wrapped to a nice black, or take it to your decent local genesis dealer. A good dealer will warranty most, if not all. that’s what I did w half, then within 2 months the other half is bad…just had them order the remainder of the trim.

[@HandolHani]

@@defaultdaniel I wanted to wrap it black but in my opinion the stock window trim is nice not everything needs to be blacked out now adays

I have exactly two problems with the G70: • The back seats are too damn small. They should have designed this car to be even 6-12 inches longer and put that in the back seat legroom. • No one wants to buy premium gas. Give me a version with an 87 octane engine.

[@jermainedaniel1851]

Did you put coilovers or just lowering springs?

[@JankyBoost]

Bought a new 2023 g70 3.3t sport prestige last month and I'm absolutely in love with it. Gotten so many compliments on the car its actually crazy, even my neighbour's came over to talk about it ( neighbors which I hadn't talked to prior) lol. Definitely turns alot of heads on the road and the power train is fantastic. I've added bms cold air intakes aswell, but also paired that with add w1 blow off valves and honestly I'm super content without modding it any further power wise. It's more than enough and sounds like an absolute beast when the BOVs purge. The only issue I've had, and have read several others with the same issue on the forums, is that the transmission (even in comfort mode) downshifts way too hard from 3rd to 2nd gear, lunging you forward a bit. Other than that though, for the price and quality of the car...genesis is hands down the best bang for your buck. Highly recommend👍

Please check - Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Genesis G70 vehicles. The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module could malfunction and short circuit. An electrical short circuit inside the ABS module could cause an engine compartment fire while parked or driving.

[@TheJeru117]

First off…Thank you for this video I wish more people would make these so others know what to expect down the road! With that what made you go with this over the GV70? I have been eyeing both of these , but just a plethora of reviews on the GV70 about windshield breaking easily, transfer case always going bad and or suspension having issues and a few other little nuances. It really made me think twice about wether I want to take the leap and commit to this brand as good as the value is. Can you speak to any of those things as well?

[@Hardcaslte]

Not sure if you chose yet, I have a GV70 3.5T Prestige and love it. No issues with 1.5 years and 16k miles, and I rip around corners in that thing all the time, it handles great. I'd say if you're looking at the two the G70 definitely feels like a sports car, the GV70 feels like a really nice SUV that they combined with a sports car. It's hard to explain, it handles better than you think an SUV should handle corners, but it's not as quick and snappy as the G70. The GV70 is newer though so it has more of the newer tech in it, the interior I'd say is nicer since it's more on the luxury side, and it's quieter, but that also comes at a 4500lbs penalty. I'd say it's a luxury SUV that has really good sports car characteristics, where the G70 is a sports car where they have nice luxury elements to it.

[@TheJeru117]

@@Hardcaslte appreciate all that info! I think I had kind of come to that same conclusion but it’s nice to hear from someone who has the vehicle. If I were to purchase one it would be the prestige like yours. To answer your question no I have not made a purchase yet although it just became much more difficult since Jenise has announced the GV 80 coupe! I’ve test driven the GV 70 and I love the luxurious interior, but I’m trying to strike the right balance between sporty, luxury and convenience and I’m not sure which one I prefer more haha. In a perfect world I’d buy both the car and SUV. Never owned an SUV and the space and being higher up is really appealing. I do hope the g70 gets a refresh for the 24 model this year with the interior bringing it up to par with the GV70 in terms of luxury. Have you had any issues with the transfer case or break system as I’ve seen some begin having? I think many people were also displeased with the lack of dealership service especially if you don’t live close to one. What’s your experience been?

[@Hardcaslte]

@TheJeru117 yeah I'm actually waiting to see if the 2024 G70 gets a refresh too. I had a fully loaded 3.3t loaner and fell in love with it. The G70 is just always fun even when you're cruising, where the GV70 is really nice and comfortable all the time, and if you push it the GV70 turns on and and shows the sports car aspects that it can do. Never had an issue with the GV70, I had it in for service because it needed a computer update that I couldn't do over the air, but that's it. Everything else has been great with it. My dealership locally is also great, they treat me well and it's always fun talking to them because both genesis reps I've had are sports car guys too. The first service I did a while back he purposely didn't tell me it was ready for an additional day so I could hold onto the G70 an extra day lol. Dealerships seem to be hit and miss from what I've read, but if you have multiple dealers in your area like I do I don't think it'll be an issue.

[@markheard2274]

That dark chrome color coming off is an industry issue. Kia has the same problem and blamed it on our car washing. BS, they both got sold on some cheap product and won't back it. Looks to me like any rain with a higher alkalinity strips it off. So anyone near the ocean with sea air is screwed. Reminds me of a rubber dampener issue they had on my old Optima that was replaced as a customer convenience service if you lived in certain zip codes. I think at some point they need to either develop a new coating and apply it for free, or buy all new window stripping for all these cars and install. It looks terrible.

You’re correct, some people think it’s from neglect, as does the dealer. It’s 100% a material defect that gets worse under the right conditions as you said
