Review | 2017 Genesis G90 | Hope for Modern Luxury

[@loslakersjims894]

Who agrees this guy is the best auto reviewer on KZbin?

[@adrianalejo91]

No doubts about it

[@FoodHealthFit]

Absolutely, no contest

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

First time I'm watching him and I already subscribed,he seems to be more knowledgeable than that mechanic....

[@v1rotate391]

Him and Alex on Autos are the perfect reviewing combo

[@papagen00]

Disagree. He doesn't tell you how many cupholders.

[@PRAKTORAS]

How exactly does KZbin work? I have been watching this guy doing honest reviews and great cinematography and he still has only about 50k subscribers. This review is classic case and point. Please keep up the good work.

[@savagegeese]

+Tom Fountas Its slow and steady, eventually get there

[@justinjones6810]

savagegeese I'd love if you would do a review of the lg v20 if you don't mind?

[@agasarang]

savagegeese has been doing great work but it hasn't taken off like some others. YT is broken.

[@plor1261]

Tom Fountas I feel the exact same. Best cinematography for any automotive channel. Very unbiased and logical arguments.

[@SaxyWolf]

It may have seemed that way but I can be certain that momentum will keep increasing like many other quality KZbinrs.

[@epowerman1]

I own a 2015 G80 5 liter. I worked for Lexus R&D. I will be very honest that this car exceeds all my expectations and more. We are purchasing a G90 here soon. So we will have both. Totally impressed with the quality. I have driven Lexus, BMW, and Merc and nothing compares in this price level.

[@towneford1]

I own a new G90. Have had it since November 1st. I absolutely love it. Best car I've ever owned.

[@jamesmax824]

congrats... Enjoy the car many years to come.

[@ormand3000]

towneford1 let us know how it turns out after the warranty is up on your Hyundai lol

[@gtfoh35]

in 10 years?

[@lixiaochen6]

Warranty is 10 years power chain.

[@ormand3000]

***** if you're talking to me, how on earth is anyone jealous of a fucking Hyundai LOL

[@triplemotor]

The Korean car companys have come a very long way and I would buy one tomorrow

[@mr.nicereal6233]

My dad was trying to decide whether he should get the G90, the volvo S90, or the Lexus LS. He said he really liked the interior of the volvo, but the G90's ride quality and the absolute interior silence was unbeatable! So I think he's going to go for the G90.

[@Z3sty367]

You should do an exterior and interior walk around if he does! Give us your impressions.

[@Schmago]

Mr.Nice Real there's a new Lexus LS coming out that should be really good... Might wanna check that out

[@evadenri2211]

Mr.Nice Real Is "resale" value a factor? Does the Volvo MSRP compare in weightiness to the MSRP of the Genesis? Is the Volvo even trying to be similar to an LS or a G90? Volvo is nice, Im just wondering if Apples and Oranges arent being compared here?

[@mr.nicereal6233]

Hey I get your point, never said that volvo is trying to compete with LS or G90. I just said that MY DAD is trying to decide between the three. He doesn't care about resale values actually- just take a ride on a G90 sometime, it will really surprise you in a good way. My dad was blown on the ride quality, and yes he decided to go with the G90 yesterday.

[@mr.nicereal6233]

I drove the G90 twice. The ride quality is on par with the other well known German auto makers. You might think I am exaggerating, but it really is that good. I recommend you to test drive one..you'll be really surprised by how the Koreans managed to put this on the market. I did some research and it seems that the Genesis brand is already a very well established brand in South Korea (obviously) for some time now.

[@Improv248]

Ashamed so many people only consider German cars. Hyundai and Kia are doing everything right nowadays.

[@Maxfli82]

Terence Ng I know. The upcoming kia stinger is going to be amazing

[@stefanfreestylez]

Theyre almost there the gap is so slim now all it comes down to is the germans have more tech and use some better materials (imo luxury is sort of subjective and so is interior design). Theyre close in terms of the regualr everyday cars like a 5 series or e class over this thing? Hmmm its like half the price so if i had to buy new id prob go with this thing tbh. The few things dont justify the massive price diff.

[@poymu4929]

Stefan Cupovic Gap is not slim at all. If you ever owned S class and see every small details and tech inside, G90 feels like empty can. Most people watch these youtube videos and just hear about main topics. but owning is different story. You can to live with it and learn every small feature of a car. S class is light years ahead of Korean car. That's why Korean is cheap and German isn't. You get what you pay for.

[@BoogieDownProduction]

You dont get what you pay for. Just look at part costs on german vs korean/japanese parts, a fan from both will be cheap plastic but one will be alot more expensive than the other. They need suckers who have limited automotive knowledge

[@poymu4929]

BoogieDownProduction Car price is not about parts. What about engineering and R & D cost? I would say engineering costs more than parts. Everyone can buy parts if they got money. but Idea and engineering can't be bought

[@MrHav1k]

Glad he's open minded heading into the review and isn't badgewhoring over the car like most reviewers. "Oh it's not a Mercedes. LOL" He's not like that and I appreciate it.

[@savagegeese]

+TheHvk I could care less about the badge as long as they make a good car and they have good support.

[@quantumjim45]

Amazingly there are people out there (like me) who still like big amounts of shiny wood - in spite of every reviewer who knock the "it looks like plastic". Mucho shiny birdseye maple has alway made my heart sing in the 3 Lexus LS's that I've owned.

[@committed2thecore]

Same here! I love it

[@eltonjohn3236]

There's a lot to be impressed by here, but what really caught my eye was how well finished the trunk is.

[@HeavyProfessor]

One year ago, I bought a pre-owned 2017 G90 Ultimate AWD with 20k miles, near-mint condition, for $39,990. Best car purchase I've ever made.

[@shaunr5450]

Still loving it? Looking at 2019 with 30-50k miles. Thanks.

[@HeavyProfessor]

@@shaunr5450 Yes, still driving it daily. Great car. No mechanical issues.

[@nova1274]

Can you share details on: how costly is the maintenance. Any major repairs? How many miles did you put?

[@HeavyProfessor]

@@nova1274 The car now has 67000 miles. The cost of maintenance is relatively inexpensive compared to similar luxury cars. Maybe $80-120 for an oil change, couple hundred for each tire, few hundred for brakes and rotors, $200 for a battery. I have had no mechanical issues. I did have a problem with the head unit causing a parasitic battery draw. A fuse shorted because the battery died and I kept jumping the car for a few days. Ended up having to replace the head unit. I couldn't get a new one because of the chip shortage, but I found a replacement on eBay for $800. Overall, has been very reliable and a great deal.

[@cadsux]

It's not really copying Audi, since Hyundai/Kia hired a few guys from them, and Peter Shreyer is now 1 of 3 presidents of the corporation.

[@JimInNashville]

This guy is a GREAT reviewer! I feel like I learned a tremendous amount about this car that I did not learn from other KZbin sources.

[@221ddj]

I like this guy's style of being completely unimpressed by everything, while giving compliments.

[@mode_seven]

I know it must suck for you to shoot in those conditions (poor lighting, cold, wet, etc.). But from a viewer's perspective you did a great job and I actually prefer the wintery back drop.

[@agasarang]

It is absolutely not a surprise that Hyundai got the smart phone compartment right, given the 99% ubiquitous of Galaxys and iPhones in S. Korea, including the engineers and designers.

[@Acc0rd79]

I've driven the G80 twice as I was trying to buy one as a full family sedan before the wife told me to sell my 370z and buy my GTR and I have to tell you, I actually tried to buy the Genesis G80 but we couldn't come together on numbers, I loved it just that much. Hyundai will be killing the luxury car game in the next 10years!

[@dawgmanfat]

16:50 any gran turismo fan will know exactly where that came from

[@Z3sty367]

My childhood!

[@HemiLyfestyle]

Andrew Mckay yeah I was like WTF I know that noise lol

[@centripetal25]

lol and the fake video artifact at the gear change too... from the "G's"

[@jtb1990419]

Takes me back to the 90s! Was a kid when the first one came out and I played it religiously.

[@applicareinc]

Wow, The VERY Best car review. In terms of thoroughness. PERIOD

[@jtb1990419]

17:38 *Goes from about 65 to over 100 mph* "This thing hauls some serious ass". No kidding, lol!

[@cisco9027]

The only reviewer who’s opinion I would buy a car based on his drives he seems unbiased to any brand glad I found his channel #1.

[@yt0500323022]

I think your channel is fantastic. The quality of your content, the delivery style, the honesty of your feedback and the attention to detail is absolutely superb. Keep up the good work -- an increase in your subscriber base is only a matter of time.

[@clay282]

I've always liked your videos... hell, your Kia Sorento review was one of the reasons I drove one and purchased it. I think this review for the G90 made me realize why I like your reviews so much, they feel real. When you like a vehicle, you like it. When your cool with it but not impressed, it comes through. This G90 video = your enthusiastic, excited about it, impressed, the car brings out your emotion, it's genuine. Now, ain't no way in hell I can afford one, but I gotta test drive a G90 this weekend thanks to your review LMAO!

[@ryankwan1934]

I know this video is two years old, but I took out a G90 and was sold. It's everything Lexus has forgotten to be with a smidge of BMW. Mine is scheduled to pick-up at the end of the month!

[@MrValy128]

Congrats man, she looks like a beauty... Plus you came out on the right side of depreciation. You mind sharing how much the cost dropped compared to new? Cheers!

[@TheAngryDuckman]

Congrats. I am loving my G90.

[@Z3sty367]

Ever since Hyundai revealed the remodeled Genesis in 2015, i've become a fan boy, this only solidifies that. Cannot wait for the rest of their line up. The sketches up the new Sonata look amazing!

[@incyphe]

I've noticed American car journalists (and buyers) are a lot more objective and rational when it comes to car reviews and buying decisions, compared to their European counterparts. Nice job with review as usual.

[@WildWestBudgie]

You can really tell from the video that the car's sound insulation is from a padded cell at the funny farm. It's so quiet the loudest thing besides the engine was your coat!

[@maxlelievre]

I see a new video from savagegeese, I press Like before even watching it.

[@griffsmotorthings]

Maxim Lelievre hahaha I thought I was the only one.

[@PaulB__]

same.

[@kenzo80s89]

savagegeese keep up the good work you make one of the most legit car reviews on KZbin period.

[@ps3boss98]

The black interior looks clean as hell.

[@PradeepChakravarthyB]

This is one of the best reviews out there for G90. No BS and so much 'gold' on how G90 is different from other 'luxury' cars. Keep going with your reviews.

[@andres80ruiz]

few people can film driving a car and show how it really performs, some guys record Ferrari inboard driving and even at 300 km/h it looks slow like city driving. When you drove it was great, it looks fast, dynamic, powerful. Congrats

[@wlewis001fjr]

Excellent honesty in review without all the Badge homage, thanks for sticking with the facts and pointing out what true car buyers want from a review. The shop visits are really a nice touch to your reviews as well.

[@akilaneyomal6532]

where has this channel been all my life??!! AMAZING!

[@TheKiman2]

Omg what a review. This guy deserves more subs. Really unique review that's not just driving the car around.

[@ScottE5]

Good God, these films keep getting better and better.

[@RealtimeReviews613]

U GOTTA DO REVIEWS WITH SCOTT N YOU DRIVING THE CARS N GIVING BOTH OPINIONS

[@rkalla]

DoubleD 613 agree

[@Fee.1]

DoubleD 613 interesting feedback, personally I get the impression we're better off as is, they both speak based on their experience, I'd change nothing personally

[@cradlemonsterp9309]

Regarding the phone cubby and parking button. It's the most common sensical critique and so spot on. Yet nobody in the car review business seem to care about them, as if they don't really drive cars. Just weird. Good work!

[@OoCrazyBlaz3roO]

I started selling Toyotas in September of last year, and have since watched just about every single one of your reviews for this model year. You are far and away the best reviewer I have seen as of yet, and the quality of your videos are consistently high grade. Your views and opinions are both honest and thoughtful, and are not especially biased. I also appreciate the humor and lightheartedness that come through, and the thoroughness you present in going over important detail one should consider when purchasing a new car. Keep up the great work, and I'm looking forward to your future content!

[@bossman2921]

You are by far the best out there for car reviews

[@Allelectric123]

Amazing review. Surprise this video doesn't get more views than this.

[@user-doah]

The genesis including the first Hyundai badged ones were built to a different standard. Period. The suspension on these cars are really good. NVH is par excellence! Only issue is how well the owner takes care of it. From my personal perspective as an owner of one it's great. Would recommend it to anyone who is willing to look beyond the brand.

[@AZNB33]

Awesome review. Beautiful car!

[@daddyeagen]

Turbowski thinks people will be pleasantly surprised. That's some high praise.

[@motopolak]

I have 2 dream car categories: sport & luxury. This car has been in my luxury spot for some time now, and so I'm very excited that you got to review it. I had the privilege to test drive a 2015 Genesis Tau V8 last year and was extremely impressed with its suspension and overall ride, so naturally I'm eager to experience how much more amazing it has gotten with the G90! I'm one of those people who loves technology, solidity, and quality in a car, but also simplicity and ease of maintenance (to a reasonable extent of course). Amidst all the modern luxury vehicles coming out that are essentially "dealer-only" items in the maintenance department, the fact that Hyundai designed a car of this caliber which allows the owner to do his/her own oil changes is very impressive. Another reason I'm a Hyundai & Genesis fan for life.

[@allongtin1243]

This is an incredible review...you have done an awesome job at covering all the details that matter. Going to be picking up my G90 5.0 AWD and bringing it out to Autobahn to see if I can stay in front of the Spec Miata's for at least 3 turns ;-) SavageGeese you are my new favorite auto journalist review specialist.

[@krokodil191]

You know you are early when you watch in 360p :D Another great review..

[@fiveletters]

As often gets mentioned, your content is very high-quality and the reviews are very thorough, which makes the slow growth of the channel frustrating for me. Have you considered doing any collaborations with any of the larger YT names like Matt Farah/TST and their podcast, RCR, Engineering Explained, Everyday Driver and their podcast, e.g.? It'd be great to see you with those folks, though I'm sure being Chicago-based makes that more difficult.

[@Knoxvillicus]

Great review, refreshing to see someone who gets straight to the driving dynamics and feel of the car. No corporate shilling or bullshit, thank you Savagegeese.

[@MrMightyZ]

Another superb review. I respect the heck out of Hyundai’s constant self-improvement mission and it reminds me of how the Japanese became the best. If this car isn’t an LS400 moment at least Hyundai seem intent on trying to get there. Toyota is no. 1 deservedly because they simply make the strongest, longest lasting cars in the world so if Hyundai can usurp them some day by using the same philosophy then good on ‘em.

[@my1vice]

It isn't an LS moment because Hyundai isn't Toyota and never will be. But it could be their Q45 moment....

[@MrMightyZ]

@@my1vice Yeah since I made this comment I’ve found that every mechanic on KZbin who cares to express an opinion on Hyundai all say they’re still garbage and their motors still suck and die young. As much as the Q45 was not equal to the incredible LS, I’d rather have a 25 year old Q45 than a new Hyundai. (And if I could afford to maintain one I would because the 1st 45s look SO good. To me)

[@my1vice]

@@MrMightyZ Well, I wasn't trying to bash Hyundai/Kia.... But, I agree with you. I'd rather have a used Honda/Toyota than a new H/Kia. The Q was a good car.... I think Nissan has lost their way however. Cheers.

[@wainewizanthony7420]

I'm extremely late to your channel but wow... Your reviews are in depth... But not annoying. You bring a different experience to this "review thing". Thank you. I definitely subbed!

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

Great review, Savagegeese! I love how this review was very concise, while still being very informative! I just recently reviewed a G90, too! I was quite impressed! Keep up the great work! 😉👌👍 -DriveAndBeDriven "The Quest To Record The Best!"

[@CarnorJast1138]

I have the 2016 Elantra, and I must say, when I bought it in 2015, she has been a fantastic car for the last 3 years! Hyundai has come a VERY long way from the past issues, and I would buy another Hyundai down the road after this Elantra. I expect her to last at least 10 years, maybe longer!

[@timsong93]

Ur videos are so relaxing, informative, and enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good stuff!

[@lrmatoslago123]

I love your videos, they're are so informative, I think you might be the only one that actually goes underneath the vehicle and shows the whole thing. Props to Turbowski as well. I got me a Toyota 86 two weeks ago, even after watching all of your videos and the oddysey you went thru with your Scion, although I'm keeping mine stock as a daily driver (I got my wife her SUV so thats for her and the kids). Keep up the good work!

[@johnss2k434]

Always putting out the highest quality content! Great in depth review. This is a very impressive car!

[@Paco_Burrito_Suave]

Well thought out review. You touch on details other reviewers neglect to mention. Also what happened to the humour of the earlier reviews? And can you do an in depth review on Subie Snails?

[@zaki2809]

Liked and subscribed!! I don't see a lot of youtubers or reviewers make their video as intense as of how you watched in a box office movie title. You sir have brought up the level of cinematography and creativity in creating the mood into making random viewers or eve those pre-buyers in wanting to get their mind off their difficulties in making decisions for their 1st car like how i swaddled between the Audi A7s/A8s, BMW 7s, Mercedes S-class/CLS. Amazing work here!

[@smashingartful]

I agree it's a tad bland looking but I'd take a well portioned somewhat bland looking car any day over something too stylized. It won't age as quickly. Also, a luxury car without airbag suspension? Hyundai is making really smart decisions lately. Great content as per usual!

[@canchume]

this is one of the best youtube channels in the world

[@CJ-fh5xq]

I have a 2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe also in Casablanca white. The paint looks amazing with the metallic sparkles in it.

[@mohawkpathology]

Nice work with the sound from inside the cabin. Especially first part of driving impressions...

[@its2realj]

keep up the good work. I love the different approach in your reviews. The whole in shop experience is pretty nice and brings a nice dynamic to your content!

[@keithzoeteman4864]

stress your rotator cuff. hilarious. I love how you just throw in these one liners. love it.

[@barbecuetechtips6024]

Mr. Geese I have decided to go with the G90 V6 TT over the 2019 Avalon, Lexus ES 350, and 2015+ Genesis/G80. It's a no brainier at it's used price!

[@ravipeiris4388]

Absolutely gorgeous luxury car. I got a used 2009 Hyundai Genesis and if it holds up, then I'll invest in a G90 for sure. They do need to improve on their phone customer service as well as dealership experience and pricing of parts.

[@omarbedair8757]

This is taking reviews to another level. Thank you.

[@sevenkendrick5843]

Wow excellent review from start to finish I watched your whole video and even laughed at the banter with you and the mechanic 👍

[@MikeFetusso]

A stellar review, as always. In addition, exceptional production values, beautiful cinematography accompanied by well chosen music... I only wish other manufacturers would provide their vehicles to Savagegeese for such honest and entertaining reviews. Let us spread the word and bring more subscribers to Savagegeese! P.S. A review with the Alfa Romeo Giulia is in order...

[@ghost21501]

I'm trying to convince my dad to get this instead of a KIA Telluride. They don't have any kids left at home, yet they still want a 3 row. I don't understand old people.

[@BrodeyDoverosx]

Gran Turismo sounds are now mandatory for all acceleration pieces. Bahahaha

[@euroatomic]

I was driving my dads 98 740 for a few days and that car just has such a special feel to it. E38 Chassis Feels like the engineers managed to balance a giant wrecking ball on a needle. If Hyundai can replicate that driving feel they will have a potential leasing customer.

[@fmxman1564]

Super cool angle at the 1.47sec mark into video. Great eye man!

[@murrieteacher]

great video, please Scott we need to hear more from you too. There is an edit button on the video package so you can always chop it out. Hyundai has been trying very hard and in 'Stralia (Australia) we find that Mercedes think it above all the rules for service while Hyundai has a very good reputation for warranty claims.

[@TheAngryDuckman]

Thanks Savage. I purchased a used G90 Ultimate V8 in large part because of your review.

[@jacquiseklee6445]

I just bought the 3.3t 2019 i love it

[@BimmerGuyFL]

You do an amazing job reviewing vehicles. Love how in depth you go into the driving impressions. Would love to see you do a full review on BMW's G30 540i.

[@JRCxyz]

Again, amazing review. Again, amazing production value. Again, amazing everything. I've become such a big fan in such a small time frame it's borderline incredible. Keep up the great work.

[@JRCxyz]

By the way, would you *please* make a comparison between Hyundai and Kia in general? Your opinions on their models and how they compare against each other (of course, comparing the models that compete with each other. Ex: Óptima vs Sonata, etc.). I think this would a very good, different idea for a video. We value your opinion so very much. Please do it.

[@tmh44]

Awesome video as always. I sat in one of these recently and came away VERY impressed.

[@sangh1120]

After watching this video i got one certified preowned. Amazing video, helped a lot making choices between Volvo S90 or this

[@jpmackin]

Great review as always guys, I just would have liked if you had went through every driving mode more extensively. Especially the individual select options.

[@MrDingaling007]

had picked up an original 89 Toyota celsior (Lexus ls400) with a gazillion miles on it. still had the original air suspension! literally like riding on air! so smooth! a true Japanese quality classic.

[@GaryKetchum808]

Genesis needs a sports coupe and a crossover lineup. Hopefully they'll grow, but based on this review, i shouldn't worry about Genesis.

[@bunbunson27]

I sat in this car when the Autoshow was here....holy crap its so nice. So much comfier than any lexus at the same price.

[@GoHabsGo-db7cb]

I'm lovin it!!... I really hope you review the Kia Stinger.

[@VG22.]

you deserve at least half a million subscribers more

[@jamesmax824]

yes he does.... so does.

[@motopolak]

Without a doubt, he deserves it. The only thing I would hope from all those added subscribers is that they be at least halfway legitimate car enthusiasts. Otherwise the comment section of these videos would begin to be infiltrated with idiocy and overall garbage. I like the way it is now... kinda like our own little community that truly appreciates Mr. Goose's work!

[@stefanfreestylez]

For sure as long as he keeps the same tone for these videos nice and relaxed.

[@TriToothbrush]

Aleks Ulmer true. I honestly have to say that the car community is one of the most cancerous ive seen. And this comment section is the only one where i feel comfortable to type things and i don't want this to change

[@TheMrcnut]

Another really excellent review goose!

[@FerminRomeroIII]

Great work! I can't wait for that 3.3L Tuck-son. :) I mentioned this before, but I have a 3.8L H-Trac because of your first Genesis review. I'd probably be in a GS350 otherwise. Thank you for these beautiful, entertaining, and informative videos.

[@SquireJethro]

I'm fairly new to your channel, but does every video have a moment like at 30:00? Hilarious. If so, I'll have to go back and re-watch the reviews I've seen. Also I want to say, as an amateur videographer, I'm really inspired by your camera work. It's top shelf!

[@savagegeese]

+David Trayers Glad you like the cam work, put the effort to make sure it looks good. Yes there are usually hidden gems in each video. Sometimes not just have to keep eyes peeled.

[@joes.7536]

I see all the hype about double ball joints and aluminum control arms. My daily driver 1999 vw passat has these features 18 years old. The vw/Audi b5 chassis is legendary in my book.

[@BadDFWDrivers]

Great video. loved the Gran Tourismo sound before launching.

[@SaxyWolf]

LIKED first. Thanks for the review didn't think you would review this car this soon.

[@ajames718]

Again I find myself watching old uploads of yours because your videos are so spectacular even on vehicles I would never have any form of interest in. However one thing that puzzles me is I believe the main purpose of buying this vehicle is for chauffeuring, so why do most reviewers only assess its driving capabilities? Statistically perhaps I'm wrong but just food for thought.

[@JorgeHernanMera]

Great review for a nice car. I liked the Gran Turismo reference at 16:46 .

Cant wait to buy one in two years for 29 grand!
