    Test drove a 2015 Genesis ... questions

    Hey everyone, I just did a test drive today and came up with a few questions after the fact which I can't readily answer. Hoping someone here has input. Some to do with the test drive, some to do with messages I've read here in the forum. 1. During the test drive the lane-keeping...

    Drove the '15, keeping the '10

    On a whim I test drove a 2015 3.8 today. A beautiful car with refined ride, great styling inside and out, more features than I'll ever use, amazing power, smooth 8-speed transmission and none of the annoying throttle lag of the 09-14 models. On the other hand, I was astounded at the paltry...

    test drove 2015 Genesis V6

    Today, i finally got the chance to test drive the new second generation Hyundai Genesis sedan. I was blown away. As a point of reference, my current car is a 2011 Genesis 4.6 L V8. Wife's car is a 2014 Mercedes E350 which I frequently drive. Today, I drove a 2015 Genesis sedan 3.8 L V6. I must...

    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...

    Drove my first R-Spec

    A GM at a dealership is selling his Geny for a real good price. It is a certified car. The car was such a smooth ride....very nice. My only issue it felt nothing like a 429 hp V-8....or what I thought it would be. Is it the fact that I did not manually shift the car that left me a little...

    Genesis 3.8 vs 4.6 throttle response(just test drove 3.8 and R-spec)

    Does anybody know how the 4.6 compares with the 3.8 in terms of throttle response off the line, as well as acceleration from the 20-25mph range? I've been considering a Genesis purchase for the last month, and finally got around to test driving a couple today. I have to say, I was not that...

    Test drove the 13 R-Spec

    I have a close friend at a Hyundai Dealership and decided to finally test drive the new RSpec. I was very impressed with how it felt compared to my 2012 v6. Also the new infotainment center is MUCH better looking and better functional / organized then the regular tech packages from 2012 models...

    Shopped & test drove CTS-V coupe. Dealer LOVED GENESIS RSPEC!

    I trade cars about every year around 25,000 miles. (23,000 now). So, I began my shopping. Strolling the Cadiallac lot for a CTS-V sedan, I somehow got strapped in the CTS-V coupe by this beautiful blonde sales rep. "Who am I to say no?" 556 supercharged horsepower is very convincing! So are...

    Drove my first Ferrari

    A buddy of mine bought an F430 about a year ago, and we've been trying to sync up since then so I could take it for a spin. Both of us travel for work a fair bit, and we finally got around to a lunchtime drive yesterday. Observations: Nothing could have prepared me for the glorious sound of...

    Just drove an Audi A6

    So today, I took my wife's Audi Q5 for an oil change. while there, i test drove a new A6 with 3.0 supercharged engine. I couldn't believe how quiet and smooth the V6 was, probably smoother than the Genny V8. I thought a good V8 was inherently better balanced than a V6, so I don't know how this...

    Test drove my 1st Genesis!

    Bentley Hyundai in Huntsville, AL has a used 2012 3.8 Genesis with only 1600 miles which I took for a spin recently. Overall, my wife and I were very impressed by the car, especially the fit and finish of the interior. However, there was one exterior detail that bothered me a little, the soft...

    Test drove an Equus today.

    I was at the dealer 90 miles away from me today to take a look at the Equus, and decided to test drive the 60K one. I must say it was a very nice ride and the steering wheel felt so loose and light when turning which I actually liked, and in sport mode it seemed to have changed the weight of the...

    Drove off the lot with a new 2012 Black R-Spec Today

    Awesome :) I got the Hyundai Circle pricing and walked away paying only $41,001.00 for the R-Spec. This was with my VIP discount of $1500 and another discount of $250. Awesome experience from Hyundai of Everett Washington. Sales guy was very nice. The whole experience was painless. I did...

    Drove an Equus Signature loaner (Genesis comparison)

    I drove a 2011 Equus Signature loaner all weekend (with 70 miles on it when they dropped it off) from Friday at noon through Monday at noon -- Coming from my 2011 Genesis 4.6 which was in the shop **finally** getting the correct color KDM airbag. I'm really surprised, but I didn't find the ride...

    drove the 300c

    i had never considered the Chrysler 300 before (but then again, i never considered the genesis before either) but i though i should be open minded and check it out. after all, the car magazines always compare the genesis with the 300, and some of these reviewer said the 300 c had a better...

    Drove a genesis loaner

    The other day I had my Equus in for an oil change and was given a Genesis V-8 for a loaner. It was interesting to be back in a Genesis after having my Equus for 5 months and IMHO: First noticed how much nicer the Equus interior finishes are...the nav/screen is situated better, more upright and...

    Drove a new Genesis today

    The new Genesis had a similar driver's window air leak. The tech/mechanic said he did everything possible to fix wind noise. Does anyone else notice any type of window air leak/wind noise? Hoping it is not just me!!!:confused:

    Test drove: '10 Volvo S80, '10 Jaguar XF, '08 BMW 550I, & '10 Genesis

    No surprise, the Genesis 4.6 took em all down today. Just comparing the market before I purchase. The Volvo leather was nice and soft, but tighter back seat. The Volvo was nearing $50k and then some when similar options were equipped like the Genesis. Of the 5 on the lot, none had all...
