​@@KirkKreifels Geniune leather requires quality maintenance and understanding it is a natural material. Just clean it regularly, use some leather balm here and there, or even better - put a professional protective coating on it every year. like artdeshine leather and plastic coating. Although it is not "alive anymore" it requires taking care of - similar to your skin. Imagine you never washed for years and let your skin bake in hot sun and UV for hours - same thing. I've been driving leather interior cars for 25 years - never had any cracks, peeling, discoloration or whatever - but some people don't understand how leather works (dealerships don't know either so they don't know what to tell the customers) - so they have problems. I tried tons of synthetic leather interiors, from BMW, Mercedes, Lexus - for me - nothing beats the feeling of leather, let alone nappa leather.

Very nice review....didn't sound like a bought and paid for ad....I own the G70 AWD twin turbo (2022) I've had it for a year. Your comments prove to be very accurate. I thought I was imagining the brake issues that you cited as well as the road feel. High speed highway driving makes me a little anxious which is something I've not experienced before in all my years of driving.. The car is so pretty, however, that I can't part with it. I'm constantly approached in parking lots regarding its good looks that feature the Siberian Ice paint job and black out alloys and trim. In any case, yours is the most accurate review that I've read on this updated G70.

@bigden2755

What makes you anxious on the highway with this car ?? ... and ''not'' with other cars ??

Wished they did a similar layout of the infotainment display like they did for the new Sonata and Kia K5s. This G70 display placement just looks like any economy car in the market today. For $40k, it looks more like a last generation Sonata but with nicer looks.

At my local dealership(Round Rock, Texas) there are just four(4) G70s listed on their website. 3-2021, 1-2022. MSRPs from $41 to $50K. Wheelbase 111.6" which is right smack dab in the 'Mid Size' category(Camry, Accord, et al).

I bought the 2021 G70 2.0T AWD trim. I love the car! Frankly, 252 hp are more than enough for me. I do not take this vehicle to the track. The car is very zippy. Great handling. Great steering. I love the jewel-like grille and the normal headlamps. I am NOT a fan of the Superman grille and split headlamps. I am quite okay with the boomerang side vents. This style of vents has been used in some BMW models. The rear end of the 2022 G70 is, IMHO, butt-ugly (pun intended). I agree with you...the fish-scale aluminum pattern does not appeal to me. Looks cheap. I enjoy the interior. I have classical tastes, so everything inside the G70 fits with my sensibilities.
