The G70 is stunning. It really wears the Genesis design language well.

This was fun liking the husband wife format. Matty does the interior reviews with his wife Beth but I prefer this format where the two of you have a conversation about the car while driving.

Nothing beats a sedan for looks, driving dynamics and seating comfort (for the driver). Come from an SUV or CUV and you'll notice. I don't think I'll ever give them up as long as they sell them just to sit up higher.

The G70 really looks amazing both from the inside and out!

I tried to keep it alive! I’m one of the very few people who bought the G70 with a manual. I have no regrets. It’s an awesome daily.

Interested in your thoughts - a lot of reviewers said the manual version was mediocre. But I'm interested in finding a used one since it came with the Sport package (LSD, brakes, etc.) and 2.0. What kind of gas mileage are you getting? The V6 seems to be very thirst.

​@@Ryan-de9ox ​@Ryan-de9ox I looked at and drove a lot of cars since I wrote that comment. I drove a manual 2.0 Sport G70 and enjoyed it. The transmission wasn't like a Miata, but it was still fun. I didn't get to push it much, but the handling was definitely very good. My biggest issue was that the asking prices 18 months ago were not great. Dealers were still asking mid- to upper-$30k's. These days they have come down a lot: they're now in the mid- to upper-$20's. If I was buying now, I'd be much more likely to get one. But I needed a car last year, so I ended up going for one of the original inspirations for the G70: a 2004 e46 BMW 330i with the ZHP Performance Package and 6-speed manual transmission. It was a fraction of the price, and it's a lot of fun to drive. Of course, its a nearly 20 year old BMW, so I've put a lot of time and money into refreshing it. But it's been a (mostly) fun project and should hopefully last for at least another 100k+ miles (currently at 150k).

I am seriously considering buying one of these as they are seriously impressive for the money. Considering a slightly faster M340i is $15,000 more than the 46k mid range 3.3t rwd I want! That's a lot of money to be put to use, since the germans have gotten seriously over priced for marginally better performance and lackluster resale. Not to mention the long term repair's and durability, and standard maintenance cost at the dealer of the germans are much higher. Plus the warranty of 10 year/100k miles, Genesis is killing it.

By far the worst reliability ever of all cars I’ve owned. I don’t give a crap if Genesis gets a couple miles worse in gas mileage as long as it’s reliable. If you can afford luxury cars, gas mileage is the least of your concern. As for “better” material quality of i340, it better for $15k more. My next vehicle will be the G70 or GV70.

I honestly could do away with the "Technology" they cram into German cars. No point in a super high tech car if you have to have it fixed every 6 months and cost an arm and a leg to do so.

I think this is one of the best looking cars you can buy. That grill that Genesis is putting on all of their vehicles is amazing!

Love how happy you guys are during the review It’s also so good for a child to hear the parents laugh and have a good time, it will benefit your child in many great ways in the future because it’s such a great environment for her.

I went to a Hyundai showroom to check out (and eventually left leasing) the pocket friendlier Ioniq, but was blown away by the beauty of the fancy Genesis showroom models. Exquisite sculpture, maybe one day I'll splurge and drive one of these beauties off the lot. I think if you see a G70 in person you'll really appreciate how gorgeous it is.

You are speaking the truth! Just bought a 23' g70 silver with the RED INTERIOR! Stunning vehicle. A little snug width wise but awesome inside and out!

When I saw the rear seat leg-and-head room, I thought, nah, this isn't for me. But then I thought about how often I have rear seat passengers (hardly ever), so overall, I think this is a really nice car! Bolstie the Bolster, huh? Well, as long as he doesn't speak (and scares the crap out of me while driving alone) then I am fine. He's sort of cute anyway. Many nice design elements on this car, but what really caught my attention was the awesome metal window trim piece at the rear window/C pillar (9:57) As always, a great, fun, family car review! 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗

What a great channel. Beautiful family. So nice to see Micah.

So stunning. Very elegant looking inside and out. I love that Genesis makes proper rwd cars. Wished Genesis would have given it the GV70 powertrains as the G70's 2.0T engine is a dog. Really my only gripe. Hope they make a Sportier version to compete against the M340i or M3. In the 3.3TT trim, this would get my money when shopping given its looks, sporty driving, and generous equipment levels.

Best looking luxury sports sedan on the road IMO...includes 3 series and C-Class. Absolute stunner..

For drivers like the V60, pull along side them and tell them their tire looks low. Then smile as they pull over and get out of everybody's way.

Imagine you're driving your Volvo and you come home to watch your favorite motoring family on KZread only to hear this. lol.

Great review and the GoPro is over heating because the brightness is high and it’s making the camera hot . Maybe turning down the brightness to 30-50% and that should help because I noticed my battery last longer and the camera doesn’t get that hot.

Hey look!!! No shiny black plastic!!!👍👍

It's not "fish scale" every car reviewer has been struggling with naming this pattern. It's called perlage and has been used in watches' movements for more than a century.

That car is stunning. Love the colors except for red stitching. Great review as usual.

Genesis is really challenging the competition with their great value propositions. I live in the city, but in a hilly area and my Tesla does that same thing where it thinks I'm driving into a parked car on a curve by my house. Kind of annoying. I need to turn down the sensitivity of that feature.

Lovely..Car and Family. Thanks.

G90s are becoming collectible since only 2000 units have been sold each year since its creation. The design of the 2019 is going to age very well. It is very gangster looking.

the G70 is a very pretty car, and really step up this model design. However the are getting pretty pricey as most luxury cars. I think if the they expanded the rear seats/trunk it would be a good sporty luxury car for entry level luxury cars

I like the slotted metal plate where your left foot rests. The top left corner of that would be the perfect place for a floor mounted dimmer switch. That way you don't have to move either hand on the wheel to move the dimmer stalk while on those twisty mountain roads at night! (Ok, Ok, integrate it with the stalk so either will work.) Did I hear right that the tachometer has a tenuous relationship with the actual engine RPM? Interesting feature!

Always amusing 👍🏼Nice Vegas for two ride

Given the the styling of the car (which I like), I was expecting the interior dimensions to be on the generous side.

Word of the Day: that "fish scale" pattern is called Perlage. A pattern of concentric overlapping engraved circles, used in watch movements.

I hate the trend of trunks getting smaller, and those with goose neck hinges even if they are recessed. I have a 2013 Mazda6, not a luxury car by a longshot, but it has struts and about 16 cu. inch of space. Huge as compared to even a new Mazda6, Accord or even the luxury segment.

Not a fan of the grill, it reminds me of Toyotas except at least this doesn't look angry. Otherwise I really like how fancy it is.

FWIW, I prefer the less pointy grill on the GV70.

Love the G70. Only thing I don’t like is the lag even in sport+.

I never liked that space beneath the HVAC controls. Interior looks cheap compared to the G80 and GV SUV range.

Micah, that is a hefty "as-tested" price. Probably should have bought a '19 2.0t 6sp instead of my WRX and your video is yet more proof I should have done the Genesis route. Sure, "STI money" for a slighly less capable car, but I think the G70 would be a much nicer place to be in my 30 minute commute. The WRX is nice, but it draws way too much attention from "other" cars (and I don't have the STi wing either).

Hi guys, what is the name of the colour of this vehicle?

The g70 is a great second car for families. If you have to have two because parents work and need to commute, why get two SUVs? Get one SUV and one small, sporty car.

What color is this trim?

Im here for the family test lol. #dadlife

An undeniably appealing "sports" sedan. But there's one major fail in the refresh. While KIA, Hyundai, and Genesis have all replaced the relatively uninspiring 2.0L four cylinder engine in (at my last count) at least 9 vehicles with a much more powerful and nearly identically fuel efficient 2.5L turbo four banger, in many cases with a new wet clutch DCT, Genesis has elected to leave the previous two liter engine in the G70. The choice is especially puzzling considering that the new engine is the base motor in the Genesis GV70 SUV, the G80 sedan, and the G70's closely related cousin, the KIA Stinger. With the new engine in the Stinger the 0-60 performance improved by nearly 2 seconds, making it only about a half second slower than the 3.3L twin turbo GT versions. (5.1 vs 4.7 seconds). Similar improvements should have been expected in the G70. So why did Genesis fail to improve the performance of the base (and considerably more affordable) G70? The most plausible explanation is that the brilliant minds at Genesis felt improving the base model would cannibalize sales of the more expensive 3.3L version of the G70. And God knows overall sales of the G70 have been dismal. (Only 4800 units sold in the US in the first half of 2021. And according to my local Genesis dealer nearly all their sales are the V6 version. ) Still, it seems odd that with such terrible sales figures for the G70 Genesis would be interested in improving overall sales even if it means less profit on the lower priced base version. Most observers expect next year's model of the G70 to make the switch to the 2.5L turbo engine in the base trim. And since the Stinger will almost certainly be dead after 2022 the Genesis won't have to be embarrassed by the stronger selling KIA. But at least for this year, Genesis apparently decided not to show any love for the base version of their sports sedan.

And where is the recepie?? 🙂

18 mpg for Uber driver?

The car looks so elegant on the outside but I really dislike the red accents on the interior, looks like it belongs in an STI or something, wish it was all black, or subtle white/brown accents instead.

Thank goodness for those knee holes! :D

The backseat is too tight for UBER.

I want to like this car but didn't realize how small it really was. A uselessly TINY trunk and all other interior and exterior dimensions within about 1 inch or less of a Mazda 3 Turbo AWD means I would save about $17,000 dollars and go with the Mazda, a no brainer.
