impressions

As a frequent early adopter, I took the plunge and downloaded the upgrade for my 2015 5.0. I popped the existing SD card into my reader, hit up the MyHyundai site and began the download of the 9.7GB installation. Of my 100Mb connection, I was capped at about 24Mb for the download. The tool...

Hi, guys - Over the weekend I installed a set of Megan Racing Street Coilovers on my 2012 4.6. Today I went to get an alignment done and see if the shop could tighten a stabilizer ball joint nut that was spinning for me. I'm happy to report that the ball joint issue was easily fixed and I'm...

I saw my first 2015 today at the dealer... to be honest I wasn't that all impressed with the new lines. Especially the back of the car. The front end looks great along with the front doors but once you hit mid way thru the rear doors into the back end I can't seem to get that warm and fuzzy...

Hello, all. I'm currently the owner of a 2010 Infiniti G37S 6MT and have previously owned a B6 Audi S4 6MT and a Lexus GS430 L-Tuned. I enjoy fast, comfortable sedans! In general I strongly prefer manual transmissions, hence the S4 and G37S as the most recent on my list, but I really loved my...

I thought I would share my thoughts, impressions and comparisons between the 2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 and the Infiniti M56S. I have driven the M56S for a little over 1200 miles, and have come to some conclusions about both vehicles. I feel this comparison will offer some insight as to what is...

The odometer is at 485 miles (11 when it came off the transport and 15 when I took delivery). I've made a couple of 75 mile trips to the Twin Cities on a 4 lane divided highway, driven in city traffic, and in local traffic. I'm very pleased at this point---------it's the quietest car I can...

Went to the dealer to find them fire selling the last of the 2012s. Picked up a 3.8 with no options, out the door for $29060. What brings me to Hyundai is a sad story. I am a loyal Lexus owner with an SC and an LS 430. My SC had a breakdown causing an engine meltdown, and Lexus is denying my...

So I had my first business trip from Nashville to Memphis this week in my new R Spec. Most of the interstate driving was smooth and quiet. As you get close to Memphis the interstates get rough and noise is a bit louder. Unfortunately the back tier roads in Memphis really suck so the ride became...

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/10/uk-hyundai-idUSLNE83900G20120410 In February, Hyundai's senior managers were summoned to something akin to a secret chamber in the headquarters complex- a spacious first-floor corner room that has no obvious door but which opens at the pull of a...

I only have 260 miles on the car but thought I’d share my first thoughts about the differences. In my opinion, the TL is a great car; the Genesis is an extraordinary car. I paid about the same amount for each. Ride – On LA surface streets the TL was like driving a 4 door Vette...

I test drove a 2012 3.8 Genesis today with a premium package. Although I believe I am primarily interested in purchasing a 4.6 by the end of the month I test drove the 2012 3.8 premium to see how the drive and suspension was. My decision whether to purchase a 3.8 with a tech package, a 4.6 or an...

I purchased a new 2011 Genesis 4.6 on Friday, March 25th and put about 300 miles on it over the weekend, so far I am extremely happy with the car. I’ll start out by giving credit to my Dealer, Lake Norman Hyundai, they made the buying experience truly enjoyable. I have purchased many new...

As of this week, I'm the proud owner of a 2011 cabernet red pearl 4.6L Genesis sedan. Thanks much to everyone here who provided information that helped me with my choice and purchase. The remainder of this post is mostly aimed at anyone who may be on the fence about the Genesis. I realize that...

I have been following this board for about 3 months now and have test driven the 2010 Genesis V-8 with the Technology package 4 times as well as a CTS once and am strongly considering purchasing a 2011 Genesis when they arrive or a 2010 at that time. I am also considering a Cadillac CTS 2010...

I purchased a 4.6 Gen several weeks ago. The car has not been a disappointment but I would take exception to people who feel this is a luxury car. As a previous owner of various cars including Lexus LS, 7 Series BMW, and S Class Mercedes it does not have a luxury feel nor ride. For example...

I just took a 2010 Genesis V8 for another Test Drive. This time I paid attention to the 'Stiff Ride' that others have been talking about here. Yes the car does have a stiffer ride, but not any stiffer than my 2007 Lexus GS350. It does ride stiffer than my 1999 Lexus GS300 did though. I would...

Lo and behold, I dragged my ass outta the house and drove both V6 and V8 - not for long, maybe 3-4 miles each. So the V6 vs V8. I definitely can feel the difference. I floored the gas on both right outta the dealer's gates and where V6 decided to shift and whine at quite a noticeable high pitch...

I finally had the chance to check out a new M in person yesterday. Let me preface this by saying that I did not drive it, but if it's like I expect (similar to the previous M but a bit faster and more refined), I'm sure it will be a fabulous car to drive. With that said, after spending some...

I bought a "new" never titled demo with 5200 mi--platinum, black, premium plus. Generally love the car. I've read most of the comments on this forum, particularly re: the suspension and I can't say that I have experienced the issues reported by some. Mine is an early build (June '08) and is...
