Beautiful car! I’m biased though cause I have same car! Congrats you’re gonna enjoy it! Best understated and overlooked luxury sport sedan hands down at the price point! Sleeper car for sure.

Also get some Tuxmat floor mats for it, they’re durable and classy looking! 👍🏼

Thanks! Definitely no script, haha.

I’m looking to lease one as well. Did you lease a 3.3 sport prestige ?

@@kennethiulo52Yes, I did. Unfortunately the lease programs (at that time at least) were horrible. I ended up with the exact same payment I would have had if I had simply purchased it. Unless you have some tax advantages to leasing, I would recommend simply buying. I had regrets the moment I leased it - not about the car, but about the deal itself. With that said, I definitely love the car. I fall in love with it more and more every day I drive it. I can't imagine driving anything else. Good luck with the acquisition (lease or purchase) either way. You won't be disappointed.

Do you mind me ask how much you pay for lease G70?

​@@mx3strong I am embarrassed to even tell you, but I am on the hook for $1,230 per month. I only have 10,000 miles per year. Honestly, if I could go back, I would simply buy the car. I calculated that the payment would be about the same, however: 1. I can trade / sell it any time I want 2. I can drive without mileage limits 3. Banks have programs for skipped / delayed payments (lease company does not) Good luck!

That's almost same price in Australia for leasing g70. I think after covid, it changed alot of things, things are just more expensive now days. sad reality we have to face lol @@TampaCEO The lease company im with however provides unlimited mileage, can terminate contract anytime with no fee or fault.

Thanks! I found the usb port in the center console but on my G70 it's not connected to the nav screen. Is that the case on yours?

That's a super nice car as well. I was saying it somewhere else that by me (in central FL) the best options are lexus and genesis for sure.

Thats unfortunate, I live in Calgary and the dealership said Genesis Canada has 30+ G70s sitting at a port in Vancouver. And I did test drove both IS350 and G70, I ended up with a G70.

Love the looks and drive of the IS, but wish it was faster. Lexus needs a V6 turbo & an updated transmission for its IS AWD platform.

I regret getting a mini countryman over this car or ct4.

I use android auto for the police and apple music (included with my phone plan) but that's about it. I do think the sound quietness issue is because of android auto though, and if I use a USB or radio it would sound better

If you are using music apps, make sure the EQ in the app is shut off. If not, it layers it on top of the G70's EQ and it sounds terrible. Also make sure you have the audio streaming quality set to high. It'll sound far better than bluetooth or XM that way.

Thanks for watching! Ride is subjective I guess. No matter the mode, I find the ride on this to be very stiff and quite harsh. It doesn't bother me since I expected as much. The electronic suspension doesn't seem to make a difference to me. Still love the car but the suspension and sidewall size impacts the ride quality imo. Though the handling and balance are amazing.

@@VanquishedAgain Wow I can't believe you found it to be stiff and harsh. Wait was yours the RWD model? The one I tested was an AWD model. Maybe the difference in weight tires make that big of a difference in ride quality?? I know many other reviewers had said it rides very nice and luxurious. And a few have said it rides nicer than the TLX type-S and many reviewers say that car rides nice. Seems like maybe something was wrong with yours or else you are used to Giant old caddys when it comes to sedans lol. For the record I'm coming from a 2018 F150 XLT Supercrew on 20's. I also have a 2017 Mustang GT Premium and my GF gas a 2015 Accord. The Genesis was smooth and quiet and I went over a couple rough roads too. Very surprised at your impression but it is what it is!

I didn't even realize there were two whites until a couple days ago lol. Mine is Alta White, I think the other is more metallic which is cool. Love the way this thing looks, my favorite are the rear wheel arches, makes the car look so sporty!

@@VanquishedAgainI agree! The rear wheel arches give it a very aggressive wide stance 😎 oh and mine is Alta as well.

Made a video on it for you kzfaq.infoTmPKWux52qc?feature=share

23 Foot?

MSRP? or used? How much a month and what package/amenities you got with it? I'm trading my '17 Taurus in, in 2 years. or maybe not

Hey. No auto stop/start that I can tell (I assume you mean the engine off) Cruise control will stop and go on its own in traffic though, there is also an auto hold function for drive-throughs. I drive almost exclusively in Sport + mode aside from on the highway and by nature of that mode the car is very jerky. I drive very aggressively though, my last 5 cars were similar when driven the way I do. It is smooth in comfort mode, however.

That's a good plan. I had a 2.0t loaner and the only thing I didn't like was how slow it was. (Way slower than car and driver claimed) if the 2.5t can get it 0-60 in around 6 seconds I'd say it's a great buy for 10k less.

I'm hoping for the same. I've read several reports though that the 3.3t is more reliable.

I've seen this many times as well. The 3.3 is their better engine. The 2.0 not so much. Not sure about the 2.5 or the 3.5. My wife has a gv70 with the 3.5 and it feels as fast as my g70 even tho it weighs alot more. She does have awd too

I haven't been able to compare it to a 240i but the sound quality of this is good though you definitely want to turn off the source device (if youre using bluetooth or android auto/carplay) equalizer. The bass is pretty good but it's not overwhelming. Definitely not gonna be pounding if that's what you're looking for.

@@VanquishedAgain I'm not really a basshead but I definitely don't like tinny sounding audio

@Submersed24 yea I hear ya. I think the reason the audio sounded tinny for me at first was the equalizer in apple music. I turned that off and the sound got a lot better. It was always weird to me because the radio sounded much better. Honestly I wish the car had 2 USB ports connected to the infotainment because what I'd like to have done is have a USB stick with all my music versus using android auto.

Yep, good shout. I'll admit the feature is useful (moreso than the under bumper sensor on my edge) but definitely needs to be turned off when washing the car

Lol for sure. I always forget the key is in my pocket and as I'm wiping the trunk down it opens lol

@@VanquishedAgain LOL... just leave the fob in the cluster between the seats....

@@LegendsPizzaCo But the trunk auto opening not working when car is unlocked.

I traded the Challenger Scat Pack for an edge ST back in 2021. It only had 3000 miles on it (traded partly because of a steering wheel noise they wouldn't fix but mostly because i got my dog Rocket and needed 4 doors), but I got what I paid for it. If I had held on to it, I'm sure I could have gotten much more for it (I sold it before The EV requirement garbage that drove the price of muscle cars through the roof). I owned the Edge for 2 years (and 7k miles) and got $35k for it, which is like 5-6k less than I bought it for, unfortunately. With the Edge ST dealers, I don't care if you're trading in the fully loaded version (that mine was) or the base version ST that stickers for 10k less. Similar story for the Challenger and Charger. I like the G70 a lot. It is a much smaller interior than a Charger or even a Challenger. My biggest complaint is with some exterior quality issues. There were some imperfections on the wheels, and my driver's side doors were misaligned a bit. They fixed the wheels and pretended to fix the door, but it's back to being (slightly) misaligned. They kept my car for 3.5 weeks, gave me no updates, and returned it filthy. So if you're buying a g70, look over it closely and don't buy it if there are imperfections that bother you. Also, I'd take a good look at the dealer before buying it. While my dealer sells a ton of Genesis vehicles, they are clearly a hyundai dealer, so I don't get anything close to a luxury brand treatment... I have a brand new Genesis/Hyundai dealer about 2 miles from my house that I'll be going to for service now, so hopefully, that's a better experience. The interior of the G70 is amazing though, I've had no issues with anything on the interior and it's as good of quality as any premium car I've been in. I don't regret buying a g70, I kind of regret buying MY G70 with the misaligned doors (barely noticeable but I'm anal and notice it), but you're getting a comparably performing car to a bmw 340i for about 10k less dollars with a 10 year powetrain, 5 year basic warranty so it's definitely a good value.

Oh, another note. Genesis had a finance deal when I bought mine 3.49% for 60 months when most others were 6% (might be more now) so thats why I jumped on it when I did. I just can't bring myself to paid these huge interest rates now. Even 3.49% was more than a percent higher than my 72 month loan on the Edge ST 😵

Yes I'm anal about things as well. My challenger has 8000 miles on it. I know dealership won't give me what it's totally worth and that's why I might try to sell it to private party first. I'm looking at a few 2023 Genesis's in my area . I like the Hallasan green or Tazman blue. Thanks for replying and giving me some information.

Good advice. I did a complete comb over on my car before I even sat down with the sales rep. I made them replace 2 wheels on the driver side. They both had scuffs on them do they swapped them out for me and buffed out another spot. Just speak up and make them make the car perfect for you. The only issue with Genesis at the moment is the dealership experience. I know they are making stand alone Genesis dealerships which might change this experience.

Excellent. The Genesis AC gets cold faster than any car I've owned. It's important to remember my car is still very new. But the AC is amazing when I do use it (rarely). My Edge had very good AC too but it was a much bigger occupant space so it's not easy to compare them. The G70 feels better but the cabin is tiny by comparison. Either way you should have no issues with the AC on the g70

Also, I'm in Florida so it's 100 degrees pretty much all summer. lol

No issues yet. Car only has 2500 miles on it though. I'm an aggressive braker too lol.

I've had it for 3 months and no problems... very grabby when cold outside...

No reason to... If you're looking at the slower one then definitely but the 3.3T isn't getting a power upgrade and the tech refresh won't justify the extra 5k price increase

Good to know. How does that work tho? Do they take the tires off the wheels??

@@VanquishedAgain That I don't know....I mean, I thought they were UNI DIRECTIONAL, which means they CANT be rotated to the other side......but the 'specialist' I talked to told me they COULD be rotated.... ......Please note I am in Florida, if that makes a difference in the tires and all....

It's probably youtube censoring it or the audio recording. Definitely not tinny in reality though it also doesn't have thr same bass as my Edge or Charger Scat did.

@VanquishedAgain the charger 2019 scat with the Harmon aystem is nice. The beats that was in my 2014 charger was kinda lame

the G80 has a insane sound system has a small sub inside which helps. @@VanquishedAgain

I drive almost exclusively "city", and im very aggressive on the throttle so I get 13mpg or so. On the highway I get 25-30 I did a long drive and averaged 28.5 with it cruising around 75. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i5ZkarGlsd6UXZs.htmlsi=vHFfxIO3ntdJJijC

@@VanquishedAgain got ya I'm interested in this car I think im gonna trade in my 2024 Mazda cx50 turbo I just want something faster and sportier do you recommend this car since you owned it for a bit now?

@@lowkeyflatfoot I do recommend it.... (owner of '23 top trim AWD for the past 5 months)

Correct. Its the only one that is tho

I have the Sport Prestige version, if you got that version you definitely should have gotten one. Check your owners manual maybe? The dealer had mine separate and they made a big deal of it lol.

@@VanquishedAgain yep, mine is the prestige. I had to drive 5 hours to pick it up out of state. Took me weeks of hunting to find one in the exact spec I wanted. Certified pre owned with only 4k miles.

​@@CyberSkunk90oof. See if the dealer will mail you one. You can definitely get a replacement key card but it needs to be programmed by the dealer I think. They should provide it to you, and if they don't have the original one they should also deactivate the old one since the old owner might still have it.

@@VanquishedAgain Why the card ?? Don't you get 2 fobs with the new car ??

​@bigden2755 you do. The card is supposed to be something you keep in your wallet. You could also give it to the valet I suppose if you didn't want to give them your house keys perhaps.

No lol.

I'm too much of a chicken to put a tune on it with my luck something would happen to the motor and Genesis wouldn't cover it under warranty

Nice! They didn't have any where I looked but they were 2k more expensive anyways. I'm in Florida so this will never see snow luckily. I have to say I'm really impressed with the driving dynamics. I do miss the awd of my Edge ST, never having to worry about accelerating around a turn but so far so good with the rwd (when it's dry out at least)

@@VanquishedAgain all good I’ll be installing the jb4 tomorrow actually

​@BLACK PANTHER how is it?

@@VanquishedAgain it’s okay think I’m going get a 340xi

​@@BLACKPANTHER-me6qn I heard the JB4 makes these things insane though, way faster than a BMW 340. Did you ever get it installed? Unfortunately for me a bmw 340I or Xi with all these dame features would have been 7-10k more expensive, though the Genesis 5 year warranty sold me on it with its 4.8s (or better) 0-60 from a dig. I won't be tuning mine tho, too much of a chicken

You're the second person who recently seems to think I have a negative impression of the car and I'm not sure where it's coming from. I love the G70 I'm not thrilled with the exterior build quality on my specific car (front bumper and driver's door alignment issues) but I didn't even mention that in this review. There's no question that at this price point the G70 is the best midsize sedan you can buy.

@@VanquishedAgain Thanks for troubling to reply. I did not think that you had/have a negative impression; only that you were reporting too soon - before you’d found out and analyzed all the features, both positive and negative. Just to mention… 1: Are you aware of the subwoofers under the driver and passenger seats? 2: Of course, any trunk accommodating a spare tire will be more shallow. The BMW uses run-flats, so that space deepens the trunk. Having “regular” tires on the G70, however, contributes to a more comfortable ride. Like Goldilocks, I believe the Lexus to be too soft, the BMW to be too hard and the G70 to be just right! 3: in due course you will find that the G70 has worse fuel efficiency than the BMW 3 Series. However, not quite so bad as the first impressions because the gas tank is on the small side, so restricting the range of a full tank.

@@2542207 the fuel economy on G70 won't get better lol. No matter what car I drive I'm able to achieve the lowest possible fuel economy haha. I drive the way God intended, not to save money on gas lol

what type audi?

The manual genesis provides is pretty lacking. My Scat Packs explicitly laid out the break in procedures. Where Genesis did not. Aside from the 0-60 pulls in this video was relatively tame for the first 500 miles. I did make sure not to keep at a certain RPM or idle for long periods of time. I know that was a big one that my Scat Packs mentioned.

@@VanquishedAgain The very first chapter in the driver's manual talks about break in period. They tell you to NOT use '' launch control '' or RACE the car (excerpt from manual): copy/paste ś Do not race the engine. ś While driving, avoid sudden acceleration. ś Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Varying engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine. ś Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly. ś Do not use Launch Control (if equipped) during the break-in process. ś Fuel economy and engine performance may vary depending on vehicle break-in process and be stabilized after 4,000 miles (6,000 km). New engines may consume more oil during the vehicle break-in period

@@bigden2755 They didn't give a mileage number. 4000 miles obviously not a break-in period. Even the corvette is only 500 miles. 4000 miles would be ridiculous. Most of the modern break-in periods are like 75-100 miles and most cars don't even have a break-in period (stated)

@@VanquishedAgain LOL... Maybe you should write your own car manual .... amazing .. SMH

I like the K5, honestly it depends how much you drive and value performance. The 3.3T g70 is RWD so it's going to be a much quicker car that's more fun since it's rwd. But.... it's way worse value over the k5 gt. The K5 was mid 30s when I looked for the amount I drive, I really isn't worth the car payment of the g70, it's still a fun car though. It powerslides even on dry pavement and the car is so well balanced that the slide is easy to control even when it was unexpected

@@VanquishedAgain I was thinking about the AWD G70 .. its a hard decision man

@oongo8905 do you need AWD? If not I hear it's a much less purposeful driving experience. Like the RWD is a lot sportier feeling. If you don't live somewhere that gets snow I personally wouldn't bother with the AWD.

@@VanquishedAgain No I don’t need it, its just the want of a AWD car that makes it a better experience Im still deciding. The K5 GT does have some features I like over the G70. 12 Bose Speakers and Panoramic Roof. I Just wish the K5 had AWD it would be the perfect daily.

@@6.2OMatic From personal experience (having owned a Q50 AWD) and now a '23 AWD G, it REALLY pulls, man.... very confident feel on the twisty roads.... IMO, it's worth the xtra $
