New to site and Genesis

[chobbs42]

Last night I bought a fantastic looking 2012 3.8L Sedan with the Premium package, White with Cashmere interior. With the exception of a scraped front bumper, to be touched up by the dealer on the Due Bill, it looks new inside and out. A whopping 15,140 miles on it. Got the CPO Wrap as well so it's going to be a great, no worries car for a long time.

Definitely not new to Hyundai: bought new Sonatas for my wife and I in 2000 and 2002 and three months ago got her a new Santa Fe GLS. It's pretty amazing how far has come in just over a decade, from no frills small to medium sedans to a great SUV and a terrific large car.

Already getting great use from the site; couldn't get my Samsung Galaxy Nexus to pair with the car at the dealer and even test drove the 4.6 to see if it would pair (it did, but of course no streaming audio, which I really didn't want to give up). Figured buying a new phone was going to be far cheaper/better than buying the 4.6 and giving up streaming. But a quick Google search when I got home pointed me back to the forum and an answer that got my phone and the Genesis connected lickety-split.

Looking forward to learning more about my ride here.

Welcome and enjoy your new Genesis. The Premium model was a good choice. Don't bother with voice commands except to make phone calls. Everything you need is a quick touch on the dash, steering wheel, or the Nav screen.

My '14 Santa Fe Sport radio has more watts than my Genesis, but "only" has 12 speakers vs. 14 on the Genesis. I haven't driven my Genesis that much since we got the Santa Fe Sport two months ago. I like the higher seating position on the Santa Fe and it has a firmer suspension and a bit harder ride. I also like the lighter steering (you can select from three steering feel options ) but it is not as focused as the Genesis. My only real complaint about the Santa Fe is that it came without daytime running lights. I will be correcting that next week, but it will be costing me some $$$.
