What things don't you like in the G70?

^ Wow, I never noticed the button layout being like that, but it makes way more sense. Putting a blank on a higher end model (the blank is where the start/stop from the 4 cylinder would've been) made no sense. We have a 2020, and there is no blank button, as you mentioned. However, I'm positive the door lacking trim is on all G70s, some people just don't notice it. Our 2020 has the same thing; exposed painted metal on the interior of the doors.

After a week with the car, the main annoyance I have is that it won't remember certain settings when you turn the car off. That it always defaults to Comfort is lightly annoying, but not that big a deal -- it's easy to flip the toggle.

But that there's no way to permanently disable the distance-keeping cruise and make it be normal cruise is super-annoying, because disabling that is a multistep process where you have to hold a button down for two seconds, so what ends up happening is that every time I'm driving along and I put it in cruise, I realize my mistake, have to bump it out of cruise, and then hold down the button for two seconds, and then put it back in cruise, and what the heck is that.

What mode do you leave it in? EPA regulations will not let it stay and start in a mode that gives less m[g than the tested mode. It may hold in ECO but not SPORT.

Have you tried using the SCC? It works very well. While it may be nice to have it stay in the last mode used I've only switched it out one. Once of the reasons I bought a Genesis was that feature. Perfect? No, but damned good like when I was in backed up traffic the other day and the speed varied from 35 to 0 to 35 again.

I'm sure many people will like it. For my part, it doesn't do exactly what I would do, and that drives me bonkers. Given that I need to be paying attention anyway, I'd much rather just take control than sit there being annoyed that it slows down earlier than I would, or getting tense when it's slowing down later than I would. It's pretty clear to me that as long as I'm driving the car, I want to be making the decisions. And the way it's setup makes it very hard for me to use cruise at all that way.

Understand you have the G80 and not sure if the cruise functionality of the G70 and G80 are the same or not, but your saying while on you can go from 35 to a stop and back to 35 and not touch a thing? That seems pretty cool if that is how the cruise works? My wife has a CX9 with smart cruise and I can set the following distance I want, but never tried it with traffic to see how it acts down to a stop? That would make me a little nervous at first to give up control of the car down to a stop.

Yes, stuck in slow moving traffic it is really nice to have. If you are stopped more than 3 seconds you have to either touch the gas or hit the resume switch to start again. This was on a road with a 70 mph speed limit but slowed down from an earlier accident. Speed wint down, way down, then up a bit, repeat.

The first time or two yes, you get a little nervous, but once you see how it works you gain confidence. It is a computer and it does things differently. As mkozlows said it does not do thing the way he does. Fine, there are more than one way to do things. As an experience driver you react to what you see ahead. Four cars head brake lights go on. You see them and lighten up on the gas in anticipation. The SCC does not see that and will not react until the car ahead slows.

On long trips, I've gone a couple of hundred miles and never touched the gas or brake. Just peek out the window one in a while!

I know I feel like a pilot, here is my routine.
-Press seat position to 1 (I use #2 for easy exit & entry
-press start twice to acc.
-open garage door
-press evc remote to off
-start run
-sport mode
-disable traction and stability
-radio on
-ventilated seats on
-parking brake off
-Drive

SCC in the G70 is the same as in the G80, what @EdP wrote also apply to your car.

Manual says not to run the vented seats without the ac running as well, just a heads up so you don’t hurt your car!

I've only had my car one month, but I'm pretty sure the logic of the cruise control is that when you turn it "on" (by pushing the Set button downwards) you are in "normal cruise control" if there is no car in front of you. In other words, the cruise control will keep at your set speed as long as there's nothing in front of you. (To be clear, yes, "Smart Cruise Control" is on, but there's no difference between Smart Cruise and "normal cruise" as long as nothing is in front of you.)

If there IS a car in front of you, then that's when Smart Cruise Control works its magic by maintaining your speed (up to the max you've set) as long as the car in front of you is going that fast. If the car in front of you is going slower, then it lowers your speed to match. And yes, as others have noted, it will take you all the way down to zero and then accelerate from zero (as long as you're not stopped more than a few seconds. If you ARE stopped more than a few seconds, you'll see a notice on the screen next to the speedometer saying you need to hit the Set button again to restart smart cruise.).

See pg. 5-113 of the manual, "Smart Cruise Control can be set as follows... 20-120 mph when there is no vehicle in front"

Right. But then when something is in front of you, it'll start doing stuff all on its own, which is not what I want. The only way to make it not do that is to enable cruise by pushing the Cruise button (but not turn it on by pressing Set), and then hold down the following distance button for two seconds. Every single time you start up the car.

Well, I assume when something is in front of you, you want to slow down. By hitting the brakes you will turn off smart cruise. The same would happen with normal cruise.

Its a control thing. Does not have to make sense.

We have a CX5 and this is how it works. I use it all the time as part of my commute is highway with slow/stop and go traffic at times and I can set it to 75 and it will follow traffic and go down to stop by itself. If stopped for more than a couple/few seconds then I’ll have to tap the gas to get it going again otherwise if a brief stop it’ll start going again itself.

Also have ‘16 civic that’ll do the same thing though not quite as smooth as the CX5

Everyone, I think @mkozlows understands exactly how smart cruise works, he just prefers not to use it. That said, I can understand the frustration of having to disable it every time you start the car. In fact, I for one didn't even know you could disable it. Hah.

Luckily for me, I really like SCC. It feels so luxurious when on a road trip. Haha.

Yeah, I understand that it's a pain to reset the system to cruise control from smart cruise control each time you start the car.

I didn't explain myself very well. My point was that if you do your own braking, smart cruise control will, I think, operate pretty much like regular cruise control. Thus you might not have to go to the trouble of resetting the system to regular cruise control each time you start the car.

As well, there's a setting in the menus to adjust the reaction time of the accelerator when the car ahead of you starts going faster (see 5-122 in the manual). If you put that setting on "slow" then the system may be less annoying for those who don't want the intrusion. If that's your goal, I'd also try setting the following distance to the shortest setting so that the system lets you get closer to the car ahead before it starts automatically braking. (Both of these settings ARE remembered when restarting the car.)

note : I'm a very picky person and must of what I'm about to mention isn't a deal breaker and i wont stop until i have had my first accident or something take my attention of my new toy

1- no passenger airbag sensor (its on all the time extra cost in case of accident - more airbags to replace)
2- no trunk liner on the top side - looks cheap
3- no power close trunk ( with bad angle for grip to close)
4- sound system lacking bass (no lexicon - base system) i came from ford edge 2013 Sony system with kicking bass
5- no valet button
6- passenger mirror tend to close and open faster
7- gap between headlight and bumber
8- not accurate gas left distance (once it gets low it stays there for a while)
9- car seem to forget my drive mode most of the time ( i turn it off on Eco it stays Eco 80% of the time and other drive modes never turn up as i start the car again)
10- no double glass , loud wind noise (my cheaper older ford edge has that!!)
11- mirror is mounted on A pillar not on the door
12- exhaust note doesn't change in sport mode
13- reverse and signal lights aren't LED
14- front signals not double as fogs
15- screen can be bigger since its already popping out excited like that
16- same infotainment system as Hyundai like c'mon genesis even a wallpaper for us luxury owners well do
17- auto-hold turns off every time i turn of the engine and must be turn back on manually
18- no chnagaing color mood light's even tho the interior seem to be designed to fit one really nice and stealthy
19- mirror projection picture doesn't state that this is a genesis for some reason !?

that's whats on my mind ATM i might comeback and post more

I noticed the side mirror closing faster on one side than the other on all the G70s I checked out and I thought I was going crazy.

that's exactly what the dealer showed me when i asked them to check it out
he took me to the storage area and showed me couple of new g70's with the same slow right ear motion

we are crazy then if they all come like that ? hell no its a bigger problem
ofc them approving that's a factory defect will open hell doors from Korea straight to the dealer since they will be changing full Assembly's

EPA regulations will not allow it to start in a mode other than ECO or the mode it was tested in.
Airbag would be covered by insurance
Things like remembering Auto Hold are a minor annoyance as I use it 99% of the time. I cannot imagine why that can't be changed.

Most of the others would take money to change and would increase the price of the car. We all have different priorities on that stuff and how much we'd be willing to pay. Hopefully they will be incorporated in the future.

Thanks for the clarification with the SCC.
