v6

One aspect of considering AWD versus RWD on the 3.8L V6 is the reduction in MPG. What impact does changing the driving mode (Normal, Sport, Snow, etc.) have on MPG for the AWD 2015 Genesis? From what I have read, Sport is a 90/10 split. Other than the extra weight and friction of the AWD...

Are repair costs for out of warranty issues in line with the likes of Toyota, Nissan dealerships? How about with independent shops? Thanks

Some cars that I have owned include non-illuminated controls that make their use problematic at night. Are all controls illuminated with tech or ultimate?

Today I finally made it to a distant dealer to see if I fit. The model they had for me to sit in was the Signature level. I was disappointed in the comfort of the front seat (bottom of seat felt hard). I recall from the group that there is a difference between the base seat and the seats that...

I test drove several V6 cars, and two V8's before buying a 2012 4.6. Is there any difference in the suspension that would make the 4.6 have a much firmer ride? I'm wondering if it's the bigger wheels, but I drove a V6 with prem and tech pkgs and don't think it was as firm. As far as a smooth...

Does anyone know if a wheel with a 45mm offset will work on the 2009 V6? The car does not have the big brake system. I believe the stock wheels are 32-38 mm offset. Can anyone confirm if a 45 mm fits?

I changed my oil and inspected my air filter on my 3.8L V6. Due to the bottom fairings, it is somewhat of a pain, but probably easier and definitely neater than my 2010 V8. My tool set is: 27mm socket. 17mm socket. 10mm socket. 3/8 Rachet and 1/2 adapter for my 27 mm socket. Phillips bit or...

anyone done this jump? are you disapointed that you dint get the V8 again?

Good afternoon, Wanted some ideas. Copped a '13 v6 last week and I see that I have the yellowish headlights with fog lights and the real pretty bright "eyebrow". I don't want to do some all out headlight conversion, do any of yall know what bulbs I would need to get that "whiteish" look just...

A comment on the board about the possible replacement of a defective electronics module (head) could run more than $5,000 got me thinking about a warranty for the first time with a car. I realize even the Platinum warranty does not cover wearable items like brakes, filters, hoses, wipers. But...

After reading these forums since January 2013, I have finally purchased a 2015 Genesis V6 Sedan in Caspian Black with Beige interior. Thanks for all the great info on this forum! The members here have helped me tremendously with the research on this purchase, and I couldn't be happier with the...

Every car I have bought is after reading review, talking to people, followed by a short test drive. Generally it has worked out ok. However, this time we want a good road trip car. We are average weight but tall. I had an 2001 Avalon that was comfortable, but Toyota has shrunk the legroom, and...

Has anyone found a solution to disabling the daytime running lights on the 2013 v6 model? They will only turn off when the parking break is down while the car is running. I drive on a military installation daily and they are very blinding at the checkpoint.

Engine Choice: did you (or will you) buy a V6 or V8 2015 Genesis This Year? I just mentioned in another post that I notice a heck of a lot of 5.0 2015 Genesis owners. I never considered the V8 for myself because the V6 is "enough" engine for me, and I wanted the better fuel economy. I could...

When driving the Genesis V6 does it give you that pushed into seat sensation?

So this afternoon I received my Sprint Booster. It is the model made for the Genesis Sedan model years 09-14 (i.e. BH body style). For those unaware, this thing is a throttle signal amplifier for "drive by wire" throttles. The goal is to provide a higher throttle percentage output for a...

Finally drove both cars loaded but no AWD on the V6: there is a big difference and better ride in city streets/highways with the V-8 I am not a fan of all the "nanny" choices that Hyundai has made for me in the various "package levels". I guess I long for the days when you could cherry pick your...

Hi everyone, My dad had a 2009 V6 tech package that he returned at the end of the lease (RWD + Ottawa winters + his driving skills was... not pretty), but I liked the car (and he still has his winter rims), so I've occasionally kept an eye out to see what used ones cost. Ideally 2010+s with...

Hi guys! I have been lurking around the site for months now (I own a Sonata) and have been dying to jump into the Genny. Originally I loved the 15 when it came out, but the price difference between getting a 13' / 14' has made me decide that I want to go with the 1G. In any event, in a perfect...

Hi, I am planning to buy a full size luxury/premium sedan in the next few months. And initially when i started doing my research i had never thought about buying a +55K Hyundai car (Canadian Price) , however the more review i read the more i am convinced that Hyundai Genisis gives the best bang...
