Hi all,

Proud new owner of a 2023 GV70 Select. Red/vanilla

Technically my wife's car for commuting to work, but I drive it all other times. My car is a 2012 Jag XK so lots more tech in this new vehicle.

Looking forward to learning more about this car.

Cheers!

Thanks Sal, The GV70 replaced a 2018 Mazda CX5, which was a flawless car for us. Hope for the same from the Genesis.

Nice upgrade from the also nice Mazda CX5. What are some of the things you like about the GV70 that the MX5 was missing?

Power for sure. The Mazda had just 186 HP and that was always it's achiles heal. Plus 5 years newer tech and something it didn't have and the reason we jumped on a 2023 vs a 2024 Select was the ventilated seats. A must have here in Texas. Sadly as of 2024 you have to spend an extra 10k to get the ventilated seats. That alone might have sent me to the competition. Glad I got a '23 exactly how we wanted it.

The only downside to all this technology these newer cars are getting is reliability. Some of that stuff is bound to break-down from time to time, and it's not likely inexpensive to fix. Gone are the days you could keep a car for 10 or 20 years...
