Exhaust Sports Auto same thing happened with my old Genesis regarding the transmission. Scary bad hesitation.

I own a base model G80 and love it but here's one more thing to add to your list, the G80 uses 3G wireless technology which will not be available in 2 or 3 years which means the Genesis Connected Services will not be available after that date. There goes the vehicle diagnostics, remote start and a bunch of other features.

Nice and yea but i really don’t care about that lol I would much rather not have those features anyways I didn’t even sign up for the diagnostic stuff. I just want a great car haha

@@kjk4moss The ten year warranty will cover replacement for that. Speak with your concierge through the app about your concern and you will be put on a list for when the system is upgraded.

My God man did you have a salesperson that knew anything? They should have told you that Genesis has been it's own entity since 2017. Hyundai backs a lot of systems because they supply all of the metal in the vehicle. It's only a Hyundai if it specifies that before Genesis. 1) If pickup was a concern at all, especially in a luxury class vehicle, than you should have been directed to the 3.3 version at only 5k more. The 3.8 awd is the worst of all the options for that platform. Which brings me to number two one the list. Response of controls. Look through your Genesis app and owner's manual to see that A) it is Alexa enabled as well as app controlled. Which can do the doors, the heating/ cooling as well as the trunk. Let's not forget that Toyota, Honda and Acura require phones to be connected to even get GPS features. The app and Alexa are meant to work and feed the car information from home or saved wifi connections. Meaning you shouldn't even be touching those knobs as everything should be ready upon start-up. In fact you bought the only other version without a 9.2 inch screen. The other being the premium package. That brings up number three, "the trunk don't have no button." Unlike the ultimate package, the 3.3 twin scrolling f1 inspired turbo or either 5.0 versions which have that and many more convenient options. There is a button. However if you don't get it right away fresh off the lot. Genesis is more than happy to install it for you afterwards. Which would locate it if I remember correctly by the lip of the trunk itself. Also the seats don't fold down because it is for reinforced safety. Number five was just a space filler so let's focus on number four. Again through the app and talk with your concierge about all features and functions your can really handle. To be honest as a former certified salesperson I am more upset with the person who sold you the car more than anything else. All of this information is available through multiple sources and the concierge really is there to help you with anything. It is a vital thing that most people don't use and then they say wtf. In closing it sounds like you got caught up in all wheel drive and wasn't told about how the suspension was formed to handle all weather conditions. I think a bigger or more reasonable dislike would be the illuminated door sills and projector LEDs on the doors that can be customized at the the turn of a screw driver. Another would be that your lights are Halogen and not LED. Giant difference. As they also don't guide around corners. Another dislike would be that your gauge cluster is almost half the size of all other listed models. That is where all your features truly stay. While a minor detail it isn't as trivial as water bottle storage. The official trainer's response was that owners simply open the center console at the discomfort of the driver. Otherwise the shifting issue is really just $20-$25 dollars difference a month in payments. Things to consider when looking at cars 1) always check out the manuals in the show room 2) calculate the difference per month. In a video like this it would have been a top two reasons I don't like the genesis g80

Yes! Another subscriber told me about that and definitely a valid reason seems a lot of rwd cars are built like that there was only one rwd sedan that had folding rear seats I think it was a C class or something

@@MeynMotorGroup E class too

Yea I assumed that structural integrity is a priority-----ESPECIALLY with that glass ceiling. You want to reduce flexing as much as possible to prevent stress on that glass and clearance for the tracks.

Yes! Arguably one of the best modern day cars

Are they reliable after 100000 miles?

@@HARPYRON he reviewed one with 100k miles

Hi thank you so much for stopping by and thank you for your service Robert. Fantastic upgrade to the G90, a truly mind blowing car. I cannot believe the quality they’ve crammed in it for the price. I was at an auto show sat in a Rolls Royce Ghost and right after into a G90 it was identical levels of quality. I loved all the metal switch gears and the solidity of it. I did see the new 2020 G90 it is incredible, I hope the new G80 can be equally great! Thanks again for watching and best of luck in 2019!

Ughhh except when you last had the fan set at 100% and its blowing freezing cold air for 2 minutes as the screen starts and you cant do anything about it

@@SuperDocCoxna that’s so true😭😓

​@@SuperDocCoxShould be able to turn off the climate control or lower the fan speed by spamming the buttons for a couple seconds does the trick 😅

@@94fleetwood49 sometimes, it's such a slow system and gets locked up. Man yesterday was -8 and I almost died

@@SuperDocCox *-8* 🥶 I doubt it will make a difference, but when I upgraded with Android Auto & Apple Carplay update-----I also swapped out that *generic* 16GB SD Card with a bigger 32GB & hopefully faster card. The car's card reader should be able to handle UHS-ii SD Card speeds based on the release date. I feel like it's a tiny bit more responsive, but it could also be the *false reality syndrome* 🫣🙃

Hey thanks Jacob for stopping by. Wow you have the Sport model very awesome I’m a bit Jealous haha. I appreciate you sharing your ownership experiences, this really is such an incredible vehicle. I do not remember the defrost issue but you’re probably right about it haha. I’m sure a viewer will comfirm

You can control that in climate setting

I really drive the piss out of my cars so I pick up on certain things it’s great for regular driving

Yes I know exactly what you’re talking about but it’s really inconvenient if you already turned you car off and you have to press the ignition button twice and wait for your seat to go back to place again just a bit of a hassle but it’s stuff you can live with or get used to

Hey John thanks for stopping by yea I mean I guess I can somewhat forgive since this car is basically a 2015 vehicle overall it’s still one of the best luxury cars and I can’t wait to see what they’re gonna do for 2020 redesign

And yea I realized now after hearing from another ultimate owner that I need to have that package to get the full electronic trunk which I just thought was strange

No. I have 2015 Tech. I do have power trunk. May be Canada has different trim.

It's one or the other afford the car or afford a stupid lens I'd rather have the car

3.8 is a big v6 and as a owner of a v8 2017 it's quite the same but mpg omg is horrible on the v8 5.0 I recommend getting the v6 defo

@Sulaiman Hafez the v6 it is good and decent gas mileage. However, some people want more power and that's when they should go with v8. The v6 might feel slightly underpowered for such big sedan. What is your impression of the V6 power wise?

Danny thanks for stopping by yes the car is amazing, and man haha I think my dealer may charge some money for trans tunings it’s really just the nature of the car so I don’t know if they’ll do anything about it, the Sport might have slightly better programming. Again thank you for your support my friend

First off I’m super jealous of you for having a new 5.0 G80 😤🤤 such an epic machine! And thank you so much for your comment, awesome viewers like you really help out the community by mentioning your actual user experience with the vehicle so I thank you. The G80 is by far one of my most favorite vehicles I have owned and driven it is miles ahead of the Stinger and competition with its class so solid and amazing suspension setup for daily driving. I have since however downgraded to a Veloster R spec 😂 to save some money and have a manual car since I’m getting press cars to review. My first press car is the new Forte which I’m currently editing the review. I hope to see you in some of my new reviews. Take care my friend and continue enjoying that epic machine!

Haha thank you my friend yea this is an oldie but glad you stopped by and still found value with the vid

What's your problem?

A proper handle found in 99% of cars not that sorry excuse one can't even call it a handle

Agreed

Massive congrats my friend yea you won’t be disappointed with it great vehicle

I agree and honestly I think they will im super impressed with the G90 they released I don’t think they will mess up the G80. But this current G80 really is one of the greatest modern day cars I’m really impressed with the engineering and refinement of it

Lol yea I mean it’s crazy the reactions I get on some of these “hate” videos like I said something about these peoples’ mothers it’s insane. So I really gotta explain myself but still a lot of people will still hate whatever can’t make everyone happy but I hope someone whos in the market for this vehicle learned something. Thanks for stopping by!

Calm down and watch the first minute of the video Jesus

This is his experience and opinion...I appreciate the bid because otherwise potential buyers that aren't as car savvy will get more info

Thanks for understanding

Thanks!

Miko_Pure I meant the Auto Unlock/lock mechanism. You have to press a button on the door handle to auto lock or unlock the car. Gas mileage is ok considering the power it has. I get 21-24 city and 27-31 highway.

Miko_Pure i never use eco mode but I don’t drive aggressive at all. My wife’s Camry hybrid has better auto lock and unlock. No button and very natural and reliable. Just a minor detail.

No I just wasn’t a fan of the Stinger it is a fast car tho. I ran a second business and could use an SUV actually but I hate SUVs so I love Hatchback sedan style vehicles. But I’ve been doing No money down leases so I’ve been able to drive a bunch of cars without any real consequences

Hey Trey thanks for stopping by, I thought about that but what’s it making stronger lol oh well yea I mean I’m sure they have their reasons

Lol 😂 thanks for stopping by my friend. I appreciate all the support you gave me for 2018 and I hope you have an amazing 2019!

Congratulations on your G80 please do keep in mind the first minute of this presentation thank yoh

Hey John thanks for stopping by, I actually never use cruise control in cars so I have never tested it but thanks for bringing it up I’m sure it can help someone out

Sir thank you for stopping by your comments and support mean so much to me!

Exhaust Sports Auto You’re very welcome sir!

Not most 1 thing the trunk. Everything else goes for every other model sport 5.0 whatever

Great to know!

It’s still the same essential car under all the gimmicks. The trans will still be slow to react, storage does not improve with size, screen still lags and Hyundai/Genesis still doesn’t separate the climate control from the screen so if the screen breaks you loose all access to climate control. Your quirks go up with the more shit they pack in to a car. I love my base model, and one thing Jeffrey, this is the greatest modern day vehicle created, I suggest you watch the first minute of this video and the rest of the videos I made on the car

G80 is def one of the greatest modern day cars ever better than the G70 I think too

No you don’t you never tried to go wide open throttle from a start so you wouldn’t know if it’s responsive or not right Rodger?

Yes the lesson is calm down Roger

G80 and G90 are the best cars Korea makes. Proper chassis and double wishbone suspension geometry that makes the 2 cars feel like 6 figure quality and far more substantial. Stinger and G70 are compromised versions of the G80, they strip the superior suspension for a budget strut based setup in the front which now lacks true mechanical grip so now they just over tire it and put Michelin Pilot 4s tires on it to make it feel better than it is

Lolol thank you my friend glad you enjoyed that!

Yes you are right only the ultimate package cars have it

Congratulations Michael you made an excellent choice this is one of the greatest modern day vehicles created. There’s a few little practicality kinks but nothing that deters the quality feel and drive of the machine. This thing really puts the competition to shame. Def check out our full review and 5 things I love

Yea haha it’s just the small you have to live with on a day to day basis that people who are not owners won’t understand. First world problems basically 😂 and yea I’m sure you can get a new infotainment when it goes bad but that’ll cost a lot I’m sure

Thank you so much man that means a lot also subscribing would mean a lot too 🙃 but your kindness means more to me so thank you for that

Yea so at 1:25 I made the note when I tested the car with traction and stability off it helped the hesitation a bit. Also sport mode of course helps. My car is AWD so I'm not sure if the traction interference is the same as RWD. Great point tho thank you for stopping by

Yea I mean these aren’t really “problems” they are more like annoyances rod bearings and transmission blow outs are what German cars face lol so in that vein I think we can live with this

Thank you so much bro means a lot to me

Yes Kevin I know all about the dampening system that doesn’t do anything I had it in my Stinger. You made a mistake not getting the 5.0 V8 a 6 can never replace an 8 big mistake

I was thinking of getting a '15 5.0, would you recommend it?

Bro you’re the best thanks so much for your continued support lol maybe I should take it off road haha. Currently laying in bed after the little operation saw a few your mods on the Tacoma you killed the game with that. Once I’m all the way better I will be grabbing my dads tundra and doing a review series with it

No because I knew I was buying the greatest modern day vehicle conceived

Yes you are right that’s what I’m experiencing

You’re just adjusting to the poor trans if you drove a car with a proper engine trans performance you would know you could step on it and take off like a Tesla

Exhaust Sports Auto Sure, in a straight line that’s ok, but taking a turn? You’ll end up spinning the wheels or the TC will kick in to reign the power in.

It’ll occasionally happen in a straight line not very often tho. Again Sport mode does fix this much like the gentleman with the S4 said, his comfort mode also has a lag to it that goes away in sport mode or when traction and stability is turned off

Hey thanks so much for stopping by and sharing that information yes this is one of the greatest modern day vehicles created today

Yea that’s a great looking vehicle, love the copper accents. Any reason you would choose the Sport over the 5.0 V8?

Exhaust Sports Auto I think I like the front grill better the rims just really looks good and the 3.3 Turbo is plenty enough power for me but your car really looks nice great choice

Yea I agree the Sport has an epic look wish they would put that body kit on the 5.0. But cars have about the same 5 second 0-60 time but due to the nature of the different engines, power delivery differs. Can’t go wrong with either or Thank you for your kind words I know you can have a Sport one day for sure

Exhaust Sports Auto thanks bro

@@MeynMotorGroup The 2019 3.8L G80's have the sport grilles. Also, I don't know what your financial situation is but you might want to slow down with your trade-ins. Burying yourself in a heap of car debt is not a good way to try and make it as a big KZfaqr, because what if it doesn't pan out? There's other inexpensive options to review cars, like Turo and such.

5.0 is not a bigger car, it’s the same car bigger engine. This car came out in 2015, this is the GPS era, paper maps are dead. Literally every normal car that’s half the size of a G80 can fit a plastic water bottle. Kind of inexcusable at the size of a G80

I was trying to respond to two different hate items he listed. I did not make myself clear. Yes the 5.0 is the same size but may have different options that he was complaining were not available on the 3.3. This true with the G90. For example it has power rears seats that the 3.3 G90 does not have.

I get amazing gas mileage in my car you should watch my 5 things I love video. I like cars with some weight to it gives it a reassuring quality feeling rolling down the road

Make it heavier for the next gen I want this thing over 5000 pounds

I did not know that I will def try that however, I just needed a button on the inside of the trunk itself. I know the more well equipped G80s have that button and I know mine is a base but they went to the trouble of making it electronic why not just give me the button on the trunk to close it electronically lol

@@MeynMotorGroup now that I'm thinking about it again, my solution may not work because you don't have the full power trunk. It's worth a try. I know it works on the models with the full power trunk.

Man it’s so weird that they would even make a half powered trunk, not a big deal but just thought it was strange. Thanks for your tips tho

@@MeynMotorGroup It is weird. You're welcome.

I think @Exhaust Sports Auto his car doesn't have a power trunk. It pops up when you push the button either from remote or inside. But it ups by like spring i guess not by motor.

It’s the type of thing that becomes annoying when you actually have to live with the vehicle

The difference in sizes is what gets me.....love the car overall though.

Yea it’s def one of the greatest modern cars created super impressed with this vehicle

?

Shitty transmission tuning is not a electronic fault it’s just stupidity by the manufacturer. If they can do better why hold it back Stinger and G70 have the exact same transmission. I added some text at the bottom stating sport mode makes things better as well as turning of traction and stability. You have a completely different superior engine from me of course you’re experience is different and far better. Regardless I thank you for watching excellent choice with the 5.0 it is one of the greatest modern day vehicles created I hope you can take the time to watch my 5 things I love and Review of the vehicle

Thanks so much for stopping by it truly means a lot and I appreciate your kind words about the channel too. I def try my best to give everyone unbiased content that being said I do think the G80/G90 is one of the greatest modern day cars made and I think you will really enjoy it. Thank you and have an amazing 2019!

10 speed? And yea I’m aware of the app, I may do a vid on it but yea not really into all the extra tech stuff. In 2019 if they let me get a 5.0 ultimate for like a 100 bucks more I would do it

Exhaust Sports Auto 8 speed. My mind was in two different places.

Was it on an LC500 cuz that’s where mine is lol

Good question I don’t remember but I don’t think so I believe there was a load screen you had to go through

@@MeynMotorGroup thanks. I'll have to test drive it and see if the g70 is the same. The car I have now take like 4 or 5 seconds befor the backup camera will come on and that drives me crazy. It would be a deal breaker if I had to wait longer with this car.

Do you have a G80 Base?

i do but wife has the ten thousand buck option package we have owned 7 of them so far with zero problems

You guys had 7 G80s? Man that’s something. These are def one of the greatest modern day vehicles no doubt absolutely love the G80 more than the new G70 tbh

first two we had were v8's but the v6 we have now seems just as fast. in florida because of licensing issues no genesis of any sort are shipping yet, i slipped in to the dealer in november got the last 18 he had

That’s very strange the V8 should obliterate the V6 it’s even a tenth of a second faster than the Sport trim. And yea Genesis really screwed up their dealer networks

Like I said in the beginning of the video don’t be alarmed don’t get triggered it’s just a follow up on the review

Yea I think you’re right because I’m sport mode it disappears lol I guess I never noticed because I’m jus happy I have a regular shifter again. Just got my surgery done haha sitting at home currently looking at KZfaq comments

I buy new cars every 6 months

@@MeynMotorGroup why? You must be extremely rich

Stinger was like 5 years ago I’ve had like 10 cars since then
