This is not TopGear to tell you how great cars are, my content is not paid and I give honest review of my personal experience, and as owner of this car for 4 years, I had a lot of experience, too much more than I wanted 😀 So if you are owner of one of these and feel like I'm bashing it and it upsets you because you are driving it too, just relax and keep in mind that at least I am not drawing rainbow picture for you like the Hyundai Genesis before you buy it🤓

I would not look at these below 2017 year of make since that's where they split them from Hyundai. This is my biased view, but it looks like Hyundai doesn't care about these cars, and Genesis treats them as something else. So you will always be in limbo when crap hits the fan. They are beautiful and well made cars, but its the service and ease of maintenance that makes final difference in my opinion. Would I buy it again? Maybe. Would I buy it brand new again - never ever!

Thanks Roman. I enjoyed your review and it was enough to put me off buying a used Genesis G80 which I was considering in the near future. Looks like I will be getting a Lexus E350 as my next car. I cannot say I have had your experience with the stealerships as I rarely deal with them. Like you, I driving luxury cars and change them every few years or so. Unlike you I never buy them new so I have different expectations. Previously I have owned a 2012 Genesis and two Azera's before that and have to say overall they were great cars without any major issues. I can identify with your experience with squeeks and rattles and a problem with quality finish shortcomings. Although I enjoyed all 3 cars I would say they were closer to a Camry or Accord then they were to a luxury car like a Mercedes or a Lexus. I have also owned a Lexus SC430, LS400 and now currently my LS430 which I don't know if I will ever be able to sell. I think it is quite likely the best lexus they ever made and I will have a hard time getting anything better made. I can say that I never had any problems or complaints with any of the 3 lexus' with the exception of regular maintenance items that come with every car. I think Genesis better get it's game on if it wants to compete with the luxury brands and a lot of it has to do with the dealership experience.

I like your content! Really good stuff!

I appreciate your honest review of Hyundai Genesis/Genesis G80. I too, owned a 2015 Genesis (purchased in late 2014), and I drove it for five years. As the car approached the end of the warranty period, there were some problems. When placing the car in Park, there was sometimes a jerk in the transmission--never duplicated or resolved at the dealership. The rear window shade kept getting stuck. The front end developed a shimmy, that new tires and a front end alignment failed to resolve. When they aligned the front end, they left the steering wheel offset by about 2", which annoyed me and I took it back and made them re-center the steering wheel. The windshield washer motor suddenly stopped working. I had many, many, problems with the dealership itself. For example, they were completely unable to rotate the tires WITHOUT scratching or scuffing the beautiful wheels! Once they scuffed a wheel so badly, I made them have the wheel sent off for refinishing. They would leave dirty/greasy hand prints in the interior. In the fifth year of ownership, the car was rear-ended and written off. I bought a 2019 Genesis G80 with the sport trim. There were problems right away with the copper-toned trim around the windows--they eventually buffed the copper treatment off, but they made a sloppy job of it, especially around the mirrors. Again, the rear window shade gets stuck occasionally. Upon starting the car, the navigation traffic system continually flashes a message that a "Subscription is Required," even though I have subscribed. Also, there is the same issue when placing the car in Park--sometimes there is a slight jerk with the rear wheels. Build quality on the 2019 vs. the 2015 models is noticeably poorer. Panels in the doors/dash do not line up, the cabin has squeaks and groans that the 2015 model did not have, especially in the dash and around the sunroof, the driver's window has a rushing wind noise due to incorrectly aligned trim. The dealership informed me the wind noise was "normal." I will NOT be purchasing another Hyundai or Genesis product because of the issues with the cars and the dealership. I don't believe maintenance staff at the dealership have received enough training. Although these cars are considered "bargains," because of the level of equipment vs. price, in the end, you get what you pay for.

@RomanDoes

I always say, a brand new car without proper service team support at dealership is a tin can with wheels regardless of its value. The scratches and oil finger prints are common for them, because they didn't do any training, they just claim they did, but at the end of the day, its the same guy fixing it who fixes elantra, so he has no clue of brand values, he just makes his minimum wage. I now switched to Jaguar and people were laughing in FB group saying if I complain so much about Genesis, then Jaguar will fall apart... guess what, 10k on the clock, not a single squeak!

Thanks for watching! I ended up getting Jaguar F-Pace and so far had no issues with it. Also here in Canada it needs service once every 15,000 kms, while with Genesis I had to do it every 5,000kms. Only downside of the Jaguar is that some detail in the interior could be done better, like some buttons and covers feel cheap, and the seats are not as comfortable as in Genesis. I used to own an A5 in 2010 when they just came out, the jaguar interior is somewhat similar.

Watched more and see you switch dealers with continued bad results. My 2016 Genesis is near perfect. Interestingly they replaced my driver door handle too and the job wss done flawlessly.

main issue with their "mechanics" if you can call them this way, is that all of them are underpaid and they fix elantras all day. So when they get Genesis in the shop, they are clueless as none of them are trained and none of them give a single flying F that you paid premium for that car. Plus very often they have no tools to work on it. This is why Genesis sucks the most, any proper car is valuable as long as they have service right, with these Hyundai Lexus wanna bes its impossible.

Hi Roman, thanks for this vid and 'm so glad you are from Toronto. Is the Richmond Hill location same as the Markham one? The dealership was at Torbay dr and the service centre I think was near woodbine and Steeles. Anyway, I have a shitload of probz on my 2017 G80. Just brought it home from dealership yesterday and had issues the same day. Couldnt press down on the brake as it didnt let me push down while I was pushing on the push start button. Sometimes the fob key wouldnt let me lock/unlock. Yesterday night I was inside the car trying to lock and unlock to see if itll help with engine starting up but fob didnt work. Today, I was outside and fob wouldnt let me unlock but once I manually used the keys to get in, and tried to start the engine, engine wouldnt start but after a few times of me opening the car door and shutting it and clicking lock and unlock on the fob, engine starts up after turning the car on. This is so strange- why does it happen like this? And this has been happening way too frequently hust within 2 days of bringing the car home. I'm scared of being stranded and ruining the brake pad/engine if this occurs frequently. Also, I am getting a msg on the screen that reads "battery discharge warning, please use when the engine is running" why is this msg on the screen? Should I be doing something differently? I spoke to the manager of the genesis service centre at markham location and he was super nice. He said I'm still pushing the brake too softly like how I would on my previous lexus and that i needed to press harder so sensor from the back of the brake can pick up to turn on the engine. But i dont understand why the fob wouldnt work sometimes and not other. Lights work on the fob when i click so it's not like fob is loosing battery, right? Idk, do you think I should return the car or keep driving for a few more days/weeks to see if things improve?

I tried Mississauga location, Toronto, Gyro, and Richmond Hill. At Mississauga, they were nice only in the first couple of month, but still didn't fix much. At Toronto they were rude, and couldn't care less. They kept my car for months in the store while making me drive Elantra, in total, my car spent around 8 months there. Then Gyro, they damaged paint on my doors as they are clueless how things work on the car use screwdriver to ply plastic parts. I chased them for over a year, car spent about 4 month in total at their workshop. Richmind hill was the final drop... they left car with open door for several days in the yard, battery drained, car got flooded due to heavy rains. They were clueless on how to jump start the car. Idiots scratched all the plastic covers under the hood with screw driver trying to open the plastic covers on battery connectors. I had to do it myself in front of them and show them how it's done. Basically, all these dealerships, are barely trained enough to change oil. Nothing else. I took a hit and sold the car immediately after that. The RH service manager was dumb enough to say that "things happen" and that "they apologize" for flooding my car. Nothing else.

Markham is a separate location I have not tried. But, I doubt they are any better. I spoke with them asking to take my car and switch me to something else, they offered $15k for my car due to issues it has. So I went to Jaguar, and got super deal on F-pace lease. Never looked back. 1.5 years later I went for the first service and I was super suspecious, but, the service level they provide, is awesome, and I almost felt bad for expecting the worst. Car had not a single hickup. So when time comes, consider Range Rover and Jaguar for a lease and never do finance on any Hyundai made cars. Lesson learned.

Did some research recently and I found out that the 2015 model does have some issues with the hydraulic steering system. Those are the only two issues I’ve experienced. Now my best friends Hyundai was a different story. Navigation went out and thankfully he purchased the extended warranty. They had to keep his car for three weeks.

@RomanDoes The dealer in Canada sound 10x than in the USA. Also, I think every single wheel paint chips in the same manner.

I really appreciate this video because I had been looking at Lexus but started also researching Genesis..........and I will cross Genesis off my list.

I own a Lexus as well, never had any issues of this sort as we had with Genesis. Though, I personally liked the ride comfort of Genesis

ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS IN MY CASE, BENTLEY REPAIR SERVICES ARE THE BEST IN OUR TOWN. BUT YOUR REVIEW IS STUNNINGLY GREAT. TODAY I SELECTED A 2016 SIGNATURE. YOUR TIPS TO CHECK ON ARE GREAT AND I WILL DOUBLE CHECK IT OUT MONDAY. I MENTIONED TO THEM A VIBRATION I FELT; IT WAS NOT IN STEERING WHEEL BUT COMING FROM THE REAR AREA. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THAT OUT. I HAVE NOT SIGNED FOR IT, BUT I WANT IT VERY BADLY. I ALSO WILL BE INCLUDED AN EXTENDED RANGE WARRANTY. IT SEEMS ON MANY REVIEWS ITS NOT THE VEHICLE ITSELF, BUT ROTTEN MAINTENCE PERSONNEL 'FIXING' THINGS. FOR ME THIS IS GREAT! BENTLEY CADILLAC HAS SOLD ME FIVE CADILLAC'S. IN 2015 I PURCHASED A SONATO SPORT AND TRADED IT IN 2020 FOR SANTA FE TURBO ELITE. BENTLEY CADILLAC HAS THE BEST PAINT SHOP IN TOWN, IT IS SEPARATE FROM THE MAIN SERVICE AREA. THEY HAVE A TON OF PRIDE IN THIER WORK. BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POINTING OUT THE SUN ROOF AND I NEED TO CHECK IT. I DID NOT, BASICALLY I HAD SEEN MANY REVIEWS OF IT AS NEW VEHICLE, AND THIS BEING MY FIRST NOT NEW LUXURY VEHICLE, I WAS OVERWHELDED BY THE LUXURY OF IT. AGAIN THANKS AND OF COURSE I AM NOW A SUBSCRIBER.😁😁😁😁😁😁

You are 100% right about the maintenance personnel. I always say - any car without a proper service is just bucket on wheels, even if its a Rolls Royce. Good luck with your new toy and at the prices these sell for now it could be a steal if you pick the right one! Thank you for the sub!

Any issues with the Transmission?

OMG! You just complain about everything. Oh, the brakes are squeaking. They do that sometimes. Oh, slight vibration from drive shaft. Woopdie doo! Oh, the engine is making a noise. That's the sound it makes when it's running. When I buy a used car, I worry about engine and transmission problems. Seems you had no real major problems with your car. Just a bunch of minor cosmetic stuff. Thanks for the video. I think I will pick one up this week.

When you buy a car trying to compete with lexus you have different expectations than if you buy an Elantra or a civic. I understand his expectations and think he was honest and did everyone a service detailing his experience.

People who say these are minor issues probably haven’t owned premium cars.

You are 100% right. Majority get these Genesis cars for dirt cheap and think they made it in life, so for them, it's a massive upgrade from corolla, so who cares that your front wheels may fall off if that propeller shaft flies out 😀 For someone who paid full price, it is a different story, because you had options to select from. To be honest, if I got this car for 30% of the cost, maybe I would not pay attention to these issues either 🤔🤷‍♂️

On genesis warranty website they say 5yr/100k warranty covers nearly every new(oem) vehicle component. Sounds good right? Go to the dealership...

@@joekovy8371 well, if you buy it used in good shape, then its a good value. I got mine brand new from showroom, and for the car with that price tag of $75000CAD, i could buy a lot of other premium cars... but I never expected poor service to the level where they refuse to fix known issues stating that its "normal" for these cars. Or another trick they pull stating that they can't find the issue. I switched to Jaguar F-pace now, and guess what - not a single issue after driving it for 10,000kms, on Genesis by that time I have discovered 2 already! 😀 See, I am not a professional mechanic, though I know how diagnose and fix things on cars, done a lot of that earlier in life, now all I want is when I pay 75 grand for a car is to have it fixed on the spot. And I agree with you, car has great potential, but car without proper service is garbage specially if you paid premium for it!

Just be careful with a used one! A lot depends on your local dealerships and how they treat customers. I heard good stories too, but my experience was bad, considering I bought it brand new. Also, many people don't even pay attention to all the small issues I mentioned.

Also wheel alignment problems

🤦🤦🏿‍♂️💩 sounds like you are a very tough customer. 1 minute your driving normal with a problem,and the next minute you're on 2 wheels in a turn just trying to get something to be wrong. On behalf of dealers I want to apologize for the way you were treated. However let me reassure you that all of them aren't going to give you the same treatment. I worked at a dealership for 17 years and was awarded the bronze for our southwest aera on the FFV (Fixed First Visit). I understand what it takes for a happy customer, but I also understand from a technician point of view. It's sounds like there was a disconnect from the service writer and customer conversation passed on to the technician who if it's not something that jumps out at him it's probably going to be a NPF(NO Problem Found). Hope you get a good dealer and tech next time.

I switched to Jaguar and in 3 years only took it to service twice to change oil. All cars have issues, I agree. Yet, what makes Lexus and Mercedes stand out is not the price tag, it's the service behind it.

All in all...that's why they can't price their cars like Mercedes & BMW. Believe me...they will if they can!

I have a 2012 genesis, 150,000 miles origonal brake pads, checked the thickness 6 mm, about half the original thickness. All the light bulbs are still functional. However I do believe that Hyundai has allowed the quality to decline.
