Review
I've owned this car one month with every passing week appreciating the Genesis more and more. The technology features are plentiful and well thought out. Dollar for dollar the Genesis equipped with the Tech Package is a stunning value. The 290hp V6 engine is more than adequate for enthusiastic driving. The Genesis handling is nicely balanced between sportiness and numbness with just enough road feel to inspire confidence and comfort. Exterior noise does not penetrate the cabin yielding a wonderfully quiet ride. The 528w 17 speaker Lexicon surround sound fills your driving experience with clear, crisp, enriching musical enjoyment. I considered 335xi, CTS4, & ES350, but bought a Genesis. Wow!
Favorite Features
Everything about the Technology Package, quiet ride, generous interior room front and back, exterior design, roomy trunk, and most of all - the remarkable value.
Suggested Improvements
Interior of the trunk is cheaply finished. Expandable map pockets in the front doors have a sharp edge. Passenger side seat should also have the cooling option. Add a power console in the back with a 110v outlet to plug in a laptop or video game. Offer a headrest DVD option.
