    thinking of a certified 2012 5.0

    was wondering if this would be too risky considering the oil consumption problems for 2012 ? i would consider a 2013 rspec, but don't care for the stiffer and harsh suspension. i should get the same or very close power and 0-60 times with a 2012 5.0 vs a rspec but a softer ride with the 5.0.

    2012-14 Genesis Sedan 5.0 R-Spec weight and 0-60 times

    I am new to this forum and just bought my Silver 2013 Genesis 5.0 R-Spec with black interior. So far the car has been great. I was wondering what is the curb weight difference betwen the 2012/13/14 models and consequently the 0-60 times. I did look at the 2015 version and it's extremely...

    2015 5.0 Ultimate DRL fix?

    What a disappointment to find out that my new 5.0 Ultimate doesn't have LED DRL's. The whole car has LED's for all lights but the DRL's. Does anyone have any idea how we can change that? Maybe a way to put LED switchbacks in place so the DRL's are white and turn signals amber. Or a way to have...

    2014 3.8 fully loaded vs 5.0 r-spec?

    Hey guys, Yet another dilemma :) My local dealer has a fully loaded 3.8 (with tech package) and a 5.0 R-spec, same color, same interior; and I was able to test drive them both back to back (I never tried the V6 Genesis sedan before) - while 5.0 definitely packs more punch, I'm trying to figure...

    2015 5.0 Ultimate vs 2013 5.0 Rspec performance

    I've driven the 2015 5.0 Ultimate. Most of the features are the same as the 2013 Rspec with a major exception being the much better seats in the 2015. The stereo on both are 17 speaker Lexicons. They should sound the same (2015 has 900 watts), but the Rspec seems clearer and sharper, but maybe...

    Porsche Macan S vs. Ultimate 5.0

    I'm sure most folks aren't comparing these two cars since they're totally different, but I'm starting to given the cost of the fully loaded Genesis 5.0. Macan S ($60K as built) vs. Genesis 5.0 w/Ultimate ($57K) The Macan had instant response, amazing handling, the 340 HP "S" model felt very...

    Tau 5.0 cleans up its act.

    As new , my 5.0 produced a light coating of soot on my white rear bumper. No big deal, jugs wiped it off. After about 4,000 miles, it has just stopped doing this and runs clean. I assume the engine break had something to do with this, but I expected this to go on longer than it did...

    My new 2015 5.0 Genesis (Ultimate package)....initial thoughts

    I posted a couple of pics the other day after trading in my 2011 3.8 (with Tech pkg) for a new 2015 5.0 Genesis. I've had the car three days now and have to admit that I love everything about. I was worried about the extra weight of the 5.0 compared to the 3.8, but it handles like a dream...

    Newbie questions about the 2015 5.0

    I have never owed a Hyundai or a Genesis. I love the look, engine, transmission, and everything else about the car (what I’ve learned). Have not driven yet. I would be interested in the 5.0 so I have a couple of questions: • Reliability? The tech is new (could be buggy), the DI engine...

    Drove the 3.8 and 5.0 back-to-back today

    Here are my thoughts: 1. I preferred the 3.8. It actually felt a lot lighter (because it is, I guess) and more nimble. I didn't believe all the written reviews about this until I drove it myself...I think the press is right on this. 2. Yes, there's more thrust off the line in the 5.0, but the...

    2014 5.0 R Spec problems

    Another member had asked me to post the problems I have with my 2014 Genesis R Spec sedan that I picked up in Feb. Have gone to the dealer and was asked to set up an appointment end of March because the tech that works on the Genesis is on vacation until then. We will see how they do, this is a...

    5.0 muffler delete...complete.

    We decided to do a temporary muffler delete instead of swapping out mufflers today. The reason being was the car has 4 Cats and a resonator and if I didn't like the sound I can bring it back. I'll most likely be bringing it back as even the though it sounds incredible the drone upon...

    Replacing a BMW 540 wagon...considering 5.0 Genny

    Well, the repair costs are starting to grate at me - especially in the last year ($500 radiator, $5000 water pump / thermostat / valley pan / coolant tubes / valve cover and timing gaskets / timing chain and guides, $500 alternator, and just yesterday another blown digital stereo amp) I like...
