2015 Genesis Sedan Reviews

Duh I didn't even watch the video (preferred to read the article); I just assumed based on the article title that it was accurate.

They used a misleading (actually just plain wrong) title for their review!

CarAdvice - Australian review of the USDM 5.0 Ultimate.

The real reason it’s a shame is because Australia could do the V8 Genesis better than it has been done in the US.

How? The local engineering team, based in Sydney, has seemingly worked wonders on the car’s suspension and steering calibration. And if the US tune was nearly as good as the Aussie setup, the Genesis V8 would be extremely convincing as a luxury car option for those who aren’t into the Teutonic trio of models from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

But if you’re cruising – and that’s what you’d probably want to be doing in a Genesis – it’s a totally liveable combination. And the suspension and steering calibration is clearly much more focused on that type of driving, too.

The suspension of the Genesis 5.0 Ultimate can at times be quite poor at controlling the body of the car when changing direction or pushing hard into a corner, with the rear end bouncing unsophisticatedly over bumps and throwing out the balance of the car. It pitter-patters over small inconsistencies like road joins and drainage channels, too.

Neither of those ride complaints are an issue on the Australian car, with the local team having managed to make the car feel more tied down and considerably more compliant.

The steering lacks accuracy, too. Where the Australian electric steering tune offers more intrinsic response when you’re turning the wheel, the US version is slow initially and can then be over-assisted when you apply more lock.

Hyundai should use the Aussie tuning for other markets or at the very least, use their input when calibrating for other markets.

Thanks Aquineas!

Those Aussies got it right:

"Overall, though, [Genesis] it is remarkable. It’s proof that the once cut-price Korean brand can stretch into the premium domain dominated by the Germans and not look out of place."

Just some thoughts and experiences of a former Genesis sedan owner,....

After about 6 years of driving this wonderful car, I had planned on purchasing nothing but Hyundai and KIA products in the future. The 2010 Genesis was good up until recently when I traded it in due to the engine oil mixing with the coolant, apparently a telltale sign of future major failure and expense. I paid $38,000 for this car, after 6 years had to sell it to a dealer for $5,000. That's over $6,000 per year to own this car!
I had planned on replacing it within a year or so with another Hyundai product but instead swore off any future Hyundai purchases and purchased a 2016 Honda Accord. The Accord is a new 2016 updated and changed, flawless car that looks and drives great, lots of room, and gets from 35-40 mpg, without driving it easy! I know from experience that Honda's are pretty much trouble free, look and drive great, and are good on fuel,...things important to me.
After being a huge fan of Hyundai for 6 years, I can no longer say I would recommend buying one. I was greatly disappointed in Hyundai and had planned on purchasing a new Genesis and Hyundai SUV.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but...

It seems like you are posting your thoughts and experiences about a 2010 Genesis in the entirely wrong area. This section is for discussion on the 2G Genesis and more specifically this thread you posted in is for reviews on the 2015 Genesis.

You're not wrong.

He must be really mad though because he posted this same thing in a couple of posts lol...so whos fault the engine failure? Are you sure some shop you took it to didnt put coolant into your engine? And did you sell the car back to them before getting your engined fixed?

Also if you think this depreciation is bad you should look at some of the MB AMG cars. MSRP on an s600 amg is $212k...after 2 years you can get one with 15k miles for $100k...thats $50k a year to own one of those...cant imagine what you would do if you owned one of those.
