Previous car was a 12 Volvo C30 which I picked up in Sweden with an Overseas Delivery Program. Leased the Genny in March of 15 and can't wait to give it back. The driving experience is totally ruined by bouncy/vibrating tires (Michelin) and awful stink from AC vents every time I start the car. Also don't like the complete lack of premium service experience. They treat me like I'm driving an 86 Hyundai Excel!!!

Traded in a 2002 Honda Civic SI... Gotta say this car is heads above that one all though it was a fun car to drive.

Went from a Silverado 1500 to an Infiniti M35 Sport, then to a Tundra pickup and now to the Genesis 5.0...

Next time I will just buy a cheap 4 banger truck for hauling duties...

2012 Toyota Camry......which I hated with a passion. Love my new Jenny!

 

[NewGen]

1974 AMC Gremlin
1981 Chevy Citation
1984 Olds Cutlas Cierra LS
1988 Ford Taurus LX
1993 Olds 88 LS
1997 Ford Explorer
2003 Mercury Marauder
2009 Lincoln MKS

I can find something good to say about almost all of them, but my favorites were the Explorer and the Marauder. The Marauder had two problems 1. The engine would stall out in damp weather and 2. You couldn't go forward in snow. Otherwise the most fun vehicle out of the bunch. The Olds 88 was the most disappointing. Fun to drive and people raved about the ride, but after three years the car fell apart. It needed big repairs every six months after the third year. It's no wonder GM went bankrupt. But I am happy with my Genesis. Starting to get close to the two year mark already.

 

[Statguy_Actuary]

1988 Olds Cutlass
1997 Dodge Avenger
1999 GMC Sierra Z71
2001 Chevy Monte Carlo SS
2003 GMC Yukon Denali
2008 BMW 535i
2014 Genesis 5.0 R-Spec

I do miss the steering of the BMW from time to time, and twin turbo had some serious rip to it. I drive the lovely traffic in Chicago quite a bit, nothing like ripping through an on-ramp to the highway going about 60 and then punching it entering the highway. Don't get me wrong, Genny does just fine, get a little wobble in the steering trying to push it though. And I do love the "what kind of car is that?" Buddy of mine thought it was a Bentley. Priceless

I had a 2005 Lincoln LS V8. The Genesis is much better in every respect, except for handling where the LS shined. The THX sound system was also excellent as well.
