Always a GM fan for a great many years and so many cars. My wife purchased her first 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. Easy to work on and an ok vehicle. My GMC truck with 480,000 kms was getting sleepy so I picked up an 2008 Santa Fe. One of the Santa Fe's after a few years had a frame rot issue and I purchased a 2012 Genesis Sedan 3.8. Great car, did get a 3 month warranty. After driving for a few days noticed a shifting problem between 2nd-3rd and 4th-5th. Back to the dealer I purchased it from. Good result new transmission.
Been great car however mileage now around 250,000 kms and using a great deal of oil. Huge smoke trail if hard acceleration. And driving 130 kms per hour on the highway. About a quart every other tank of gas! Or more if running it hard. So we needed another car, bought a 2016 Genesis sedan 3.8. Great car too. But the 2012 which I happen to like much more that the 2016, not sure what to do about the oil leak?? Did the CRC and Seafoam cleaner on the intake valves. Runs smoother but no change. Any ideas???

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad you're liking the community so far.

For your oil leak question, post it in the first generation Genesis Sedan section, and use a title that draws people in who can help with the oil leak.

What do you like more about the 2012 vs. the 2016? The 16 is a far better car by almost every measure. What trim level is it?
