Greetings all.... not a Genesis owner YET.... but it is at the top of a rather short list of cars I am looking at between Feb and Apr of 2016.
A year and a half ago I bought a CPO 2011 Azera from Loren Hyundai of Glenview (home of the Brat Pack & the rest of the John Hughes movies). While waiting for the paperwork to get done I saw the new 2015 Genesis and had a seat. As soon as I sat in it - I could feel it was targeted at customers who would otherwise be looking at the 5 series. I was quite impressed.... nice step up from the previous Genny.
From that point on - whenever I brought my car in for scheduled maintenance or the couple of issues it had (mostly front suspension & ride quality issues) - instead of sitting in the waiting room I waited in the showroom Genesis. I took one out to drive a few times as well. The more time I spent with it the more it grew on me.
I had joined another Hyundai forum back when I bought the Azera and it did have a section for the Genny - so I learned and researched quite a bit there, plus did all the Youtube reviews and test drives, tech explorations, etc. The more I learned - the more I liked.
Then I came across this forum a few days ago. Turns out a friend of mine from TX is a member and 2012 (I think?) owner and is already on here. I have been spending my time reading and learning. Lots of good info on here for sure.
Among several other threads - I have read the ENTIRE "Dislikes" thread and am halfway through the "likes" thread. Lots of great info in both.
So between now and late next winter I will be soaking up all I can from here to finally determine if I will be pulling the trigger. As I said - right now it is at the top of a short list.... which is (in order
2015 CPO Genesis (Signature at least, tech preferred)
2011 740 Ld (diesel) (used, extended warranty)
2011 750 Li (used, extended warranty)
2013+ CPO Passat Diesel OR 2013 CPO 5 series (these are kinda tied - though the 5 is pushing my budget limit as a CPO)
2011 A8L (used, extended warranty)
Which model Genny I get will be determined purely on price point. Sure would be nice to find a good deal on a CPO tech.
With all that said - thanks for all the posts and discussion thusfar... I am still going through what I can to learn more - that way I don't spam you guys with the same old questions time and again.
Thanks!
