Got my dream first car and got a 2015 genesis sedan as first car!

[Genesiswonderer]

Okay, so yes, the title says it. I have unexpectedly gotten a 2015 genesis as my first car! My grandpa was originally going to give me his old 2017 hyundai elantra gt and get himself a new car, but he changed his mind and wanted to keep it and give me the new car. The budget range was right around $25,000. I looked at some other cars first, like some used 2019 sonotas, and a brand new 2022 elantra. I liked those cars but I still wanted to explore all of my options. So i figured why don't I just get me a used 2015 genesis sedan as it was actually my dream first car. So i did just that. Found one on carvanna and got it delivered. Have loved it so far. Found one with pretty low mileage (only 45,000 miles) so that's good. I just love how quick and sturdy the car is, not to mention all of the safety tech and luxury. I think I might have gotten too nice of a first car. Either way, love the car. Any opinions? Is a genesis a bad first car? Have fun discussing y'all!

The answer to the question about the Genesis being a good first car or not depends on your income and ability to fix any issues that may occur with a used luxury car out of warranty.

Generally used luxury cars are more expensive to maintain than a cheaper non-luxury model like a Honda Civic or Hyundai Sonata.

I think it is a great first car, im 17 and looking into getting a used 2017 genesis G80 or G90 as my first car.
