Bought a 2020 3.3t sport about 4 months ago and I have no regrets at all. Best car I could’ve gotten in my price range. Super fast, luxurious interior, and fully loaded. Got a great deal on it to. Only complaints: small rear space and the screen isn’t the best. All in all, I love it

[@serobboshnakyan1048]

just got mine 2023 g70 3.3t awd white with red interior amazing car very unique

[@purplelexus5399]

I'm on my second G70. My first was a 2020 3.3t Elite trim. I wanted a Sport trim, so I picked up the 2022 3.3 G70. I love both cars would not buy any other vehicle. Great video!

[@Zelow.]

I love the way these G70s look. Super refreshing to see something like this on the road compared to the more common Q50s or 335i. I'm a big fan of the less common cars so this car is always nice to see around. I really love how clean yours looks as well, Very well done!

[@TheAftermarket1]

Appreciate that man! I was originally looking at Q50s, S3 and Scat packs amongst some other cars. The only BMW that I wanted was the M340i but thought it was a little boring looking and lacked features for $10-15k more. Nice RCF 👍

[@Zelow.]

@@TheAftermarket1 Yea man a lot of those cars imo aren't as great as the G70 for one reason or another. The M340i is a great car with crazy performance from the b58 but it just lacks that rarity factor and to the untrained eye its just another BMW unfortunately. The G70 was definitely the right choice though, really looking forward to see how the aftermarket grows for the car. And thank you!

Beautiful! Been a huge fan of Genesis since their first Superbowl commercial in 2008! So I'm really loving to see folks seeing the value in the brand! Much respect!🔥

I purchased my G70 in September of this year. I did my research and I just liked the specs on this car better compared with other cars in its class. Had a ‘17 Impala to trade in so out the door for about $31K. Not looking to modify much but love the responsiveness although the lane departure correction did have me thinking something was wrong with the car initially 😎😂 Great to hear of the longevity with these cars. Never been sold on BMW or Mercedes so this is a welcome addition to entry car luxury market. Great videos and thanks for the review!

[@khronin]

I own an 2020 AWD Stinger and have owned many cars and love it.I am an ex muscle car driver and to be honest there is nothing better then a Twin Turbo V6 with AWD to carve up mountains quickly and safely.It is cold out now and the car on the HWY feels like it easily has 50 extra HP.I dleted the mufflers and put str8 pipes on mine welded to the car and it sounds fantastic.I also had a trade and paid 19k total for my car.Car is actually fast enough without mods.I ran a 4.2 to 60 and 12.7 in the quarter right after the break in period last year--this is no launch control just powerbrake at 1500.Even pushing the pedal down maybe 50% getting on a HWY and you are loafing into triple digit speeds.

I think Genesis can surpass Infiniti but it'll never happen if they don't work out the dealer network. Genesis cars are superb and I do miss mine periodically.

[@TheAftermarket1]

They already make better cars than Infiniti for the money by a long way, but agree the dealers are an issue. Huge hurdle genesis has to overcome in the next few years

You have nailed the sound

[@genesisg7022]

April 2019, I purchased my Genesis G70 3.3.T (Santiago Silver). I got for 2k under MSRP. Currently I have over 68K miles on it and no problems. Only scheduled maintenance and replace a set of tires. I don't Baby My Baby! If given the opportunity, I would purchase it again. I test drove BMW and Mercedes first. Neither of those vehicles did anything for me. Even though they were new vehicles, they both felt old (2019 model year). I live in Southern California, where you see as many BMW you do Toyota Corolla's. Owning a BMW in Southern California is like wetting your pants in a dark suit, you get a warm feeling all over, but nobody notices. I like what you have done to your Genesis G70. My car came with Michelin Pilot Sport tires, very grippy!

[@TheAftermarket1]

Thanks man, and I agree with everything you’ve said. I think I’ve seen one G70 in the same spec as mine in a year and a half and it was nowhere near my area. Genesis may not get the brand recognition but those in the know realize how good of a car the G70 is 🤟

[@robertmcgee3616]

You’re gonna love the continental tires, I have them on my stinger and they grip so well with the AWD. You should do a POV drive if you showing off the exhaust

[@Chitownharddancer12]

Was you popping in the video. You did a great job with the mods

[@TheAftermarket1]

Yeah the exhaust burbles a lot on downshifts or holding in gears after acceleration. It’s a nice smooth sound

[@RandomGuyIAm]

You probably already know this, but you can do a full ecu tune and a few other mods to the 3.3t, and it would make around 500 hp!!!! The tuning capabilities remind me of the 1JZ!

[@TheAftermarket1]

Yeah I had a lap 3 stage 2.5 ECU tune lol. B58 in the new Supra and BMWs is closer to a JZ, the 3.3TT is limited by lack of bigger turbo options and a mediocre transmission

[@RandomGuyIAm]

@@TheAftermarket1 yup that is true, but it’s like the Korean jz

[@simplyinsaneyt]

@@TheAftermarket1how was the 2.5 tune? Did you go with the Meth Injection or Charge pipe injection?

[@TheAftermarket1]

@@simplyinsaneyt CPI. Tune was good. Ultimately I decided the platform wasn’t worth further pursuing, RWD at that power level meant grip was always an issue. Ended up getting an AWD M240i and running faster times with only 3 mods 😅

[@Chitownharddancer12]

Not alot of ppl in my area know what a g70 is lol its funny how many looks I get in mines I love my car only thing I hate is the gas mileage but that will get change once I get my jb4 in the summer

[@TheAftermarket1]

Hopefully it helped you make the right decision 👍

[@joshbell123]

I've been looking at a 22 for sale here. I'll definitely do some tuning/mods but my only concern is swapping ECUs is that anything stored in the ECU won't match anymore like odometer and such so if you do swap to the original for service it'll show up as well. Obviously if i keep car forever it wouldn't be an issue

[@TheAftermarket1]

@@joshbell123 if you’re worried about that then just get a JB4. It’s very well established for the 3.3TT and will probably suit your needs. Ecu tunes are for people that are maxing out their builds like I was. You can still run E and get close to 500whp with a JB4.

How's reliability has been so far?

Got my 3.3T HTRAC in Sept of this year and it only had 4k miles on it! Car is very nice but getting used to the gas mileage lol... Do you run premium in yours?

With all these mods, what do you do when you go in for your scheduled maintenance?

[@TheAftermarket1]

I don’t do maintenance at the dealer. Do my own full synthetic oil changes. If I were to go in for warranty work, I would remove the JB4. It is still the dealers responsibility to prove any modification caused the issue you’re going in for warranty for. A lot of dealers are understanding if you speak to them adult to adult.

@@TheAftermarket1FYI, my buddy had a turbo issue an was told they pull the boost logs from the ECU.

They could use it as a reason to void the warranty if the issue was related to the tune, sure. Take care of your car and modify it properly and you don’t need to worry about that.

Do the lowering springs work with the ECS suspension?

[@TheAftermarket1]

Yup, I had the adaptive suspension and it works no problem. If you do coilovers you need an ECS canceller which adds another $250 to the cost.

[@hamsterbrigade]

@@TheAftermarket1 Thank you for the response. My ISF got totaled. I went check out the IS500 and I wasn't that impressed with the suspension, still loved the engine and exhaust not. I've always liked the g70 from a far so I just bought a 2019 Sport. Very impressed with the car except, I think the suspension isn't as responsive as I'd like and the exhaust/induction sound is non existent. I'd settle for some induction sound when I'm on it, are there any intakes that do this? I'm assuming the springs may allow the suspension to be more responsive, I also hear the mando box can help get the ECS just a little bit firmer than Sport mode.

[@TheAftermarket1]

@@hamsterbrigade all the intakes available will give you that induction sound you’re looking for. Check my other G70 videos for exhaust clips, mod ideas etc

@HellrotGarageYT LOL. Just about all makes and models had issues or recalls. Not too sure where you are getting all your misinformation from bub, but I can tell you first hand that it's a great option! It has plenty of life and soul. I got maybe one complaint when you had a few. That is why it is called the "Baby GTR" for a reason.

The refreshed G70 in my opinion looks worse than the original. I have a 2021 G70 and I absolutely love it. The grille is jewel-like befitting a luxury car (the refreshed grille is ugly). The fog lamps, the boomerang side vents, the rear end...they give the G70 a great look. The refreshed split headlamps do nothing for me, even if they tie into the Genesis design language for all other models.

[@TheAftermarket1]

I would agree with you on that for sure, much prefer my gen G70 looks. I think the new gen will come good with modifications in terms of aesthetics, but going to take a bit more to make it look as good as the 18-21s do.

[@bnewt1139]

Agree, we had a 23 G70, and are replacing w/ a 21 G70, only thing I prefer w/ the 23 is the larger touchscreen. I also prefer the black 5 spoke wheels on the 21 vs. the busy black spokes on the 23.

Reason I say this specifically, is I just bought the 2.0t version for 37k. The absolute cheapest 3.3 they had on the lot with the fewest options was 51k. The rest were all 55k+. I know people were basically stealing these things last year when people weren't buying cars, but the demand has finally caught up with the supply. I saw on the forums last year, people were getting the 3.3 for the same price that I paid for my 2.0 this year, makes me tear up a bit.
