I laughed so hard.

I own a 2011 4.6 that I bought new. I have put 260K miles on it, mostly highway miles. I got over 200K miles on the factory front brakes, and over 250K on the rears. The only failures were the radar cruise control box and the alternator, which blew its regulator at about 250K. Super reliable car. One detail that this reviewer got wrong: The gearbox in this model is a 6HP26 made in Germany by ZF, which was correctly stated as shared with BMW, but also Aston Martin, Jaguar, and others. It was widely considered the finest 6-speed auto built by an independent. ZF sold them to Hyundai because they had just been replaced in most of those other cars with the 8HP 8-speed, which fit in the same space.

My Genesis has 190,000 miles. In the past year of ownership and 30,000 miles I have had only one 02 sensor, and two power door lock actuators go bad. I drive it 30,000 miles a year and love it !!

How long did it last thinking of getting a2011 with 186000 miles

Greg, I'm a car guy, through and through, been into cars my entire life. I've owned 18-25 cars in my 36 years on this planet. Never have I thought of or been told about looking at the brake pedal to ascertain the type of driving, but the logic is sound. Great tip, great video, great channel. Subscribed - Good show, sir.

Hi Greg, a fan of yours here. I trust your judgement on the Hyundai Genesis. Just because of you I am getting one of those. You have been a great help to us all and we can't thank you enough. Thanks buddy..

Got a 2016 G80 3.8 AWD. Love it. Did have an issue with the passenger seat electronics. Nothing else. Will buy another one some day. Hobbes agrees. 😎

I purchased a 2012 Genesis 5.0 V 8 without the R - Spec package I was glad to find that configuration because personally I felt like there wasn't enough Spec in the R - Spec. To me the R - Spec delivered a ride that was simply more harsh on the road than one that was tighter and more performance oriented. I thoroughly enjoyed the car I purchased. It delivered great performance whether I was running on regular unleaded gasoline or 91 octane. I purchased mine with about 40000 miles on it. I was actually looking at the new ones when I saw mine. I saw an opportunity to save money in my purchase and took advantage of it. My car had a full factory warranty. This made my purchase decision an even better and easier one. The car got lots of compliments, if you are into that. I graciously thanked everyone who ever complimented it. That was very nice of them. It once gathered a crowd of Korean's who were at a convention of some sort as I was leaving a hotel, and getting into it. One of my very good longtime friends, who is Korean told me that in Korea only rich people drive that kind of car, and in particular the Equus. (He was once surprised in our many conversations, to find out that I knew about the Equus and Hyundai's history long before it came to America.) However that was not what was most important to me. I bought it because I liked it and I thought it was an excellent value that I would have for years to come. The 5.0 motor garnered lots of attention from people who know and love cars. I was really quite surprised To even get some invitations from people driving Mustangs V- 6 and 5.0, Subaru WRX and STI, and BMW'S M3 & M5. I also got invites from a few Chrysler and Dodge Hemi's, and one Jeep SRT (Nice looking vehicle by the way) This usually occurred when I was on the highway and they rolled up on me from behind and saw the 5.0 logo on the trunk. I was surprised, Quite surprised and flattered they knew what it was. 429 Horsepower at the time. (More about that later) I usually politely declined the invitations because I didn't actually buy it to race. I bought it to enjoy and I wanted the performance, but I bought it to enjoy. You see I do a lot of highway driving And there's nothing more enjoyable than having a very nice car to drive on the highway when you do a lot of driving. I loved the features inside and out. And the handling was very good too. One thing that really surprised me was the fact that the body style of the 2012 did not trap dirt. It flowed very aerodynamically over the car. The only place dirt would kind of come to rest was on the rear bumper. I thought that was the coolest thing. Little did I realize it would also yield a been beneficial clue to a very real impending problem. I never drove my car in spite of driving lots of highway miles out of a 350 mile radius more or less. For longer distances I would just fly. One day I get an invitation to attend a Fitness Expo at the Orange County convention center. I started to fly however I thought what an opportunity to take my Genesis on a first sort of long drive. It was just about exactly 500 miles. I have to say the car performed beyond my expectations it did not disappoint. I've owned luxury cars, even driven across country several times. Good Genesis 5.0 was fun and relaxing. And what topped it off was the fact that when i arrived at my destination I had less than an 8th on a tank of gas left. WOW!!😄😁😎 Granted, mind you that my previous car a luxury car had a little smaller gas tank but I was running premium on this and my previous car I ran regular and I always had to fill up by the time I got to Valencia cause I was not going over the grapevine without running out of gas. So that was a big plus. From the bay area past LA, to the OC. GREAT!! The fitness event was everything I expected it to be. When it came time to return, I had to fill my tank and of course you'd check everything before getting on the road, that's the way I learned to drive. Tires, all the fluids, everything. NOW, The not so great. I found that I was 2 quarts low on oil. My car Had burned 2 qts of oil in a 500 mile trip. Not good, not usual. OK not to panic, not to worry. I topped it off. And I made a stop or 2 on the way back not stopping not topping it off again until I had reached my destination. To my disappointment I discovered that I had burned 2 qts of oil on the return leg also. I decided to drive it a bit and monitor it closely to see what was going on. It was now burning oil all the time. It was even coming out of the exhaust and a film would rest on the rear bumper. (Remember I said more about that later.) I decided to call the factory While it was still under full warranty, and not my dime. I've spoken long enough for now. Duty calls. I will add to this post later about what happened next. For now I will say I was sorry to see her go. But, we don't buy them for the problems.

I would have jumped on it for sure, even if I had to borrow some money from my brother-in-law (yeah, that one) You have a great deal. Fine out if possible how often the previous owner changed fuels or if you're really interested, there are companies you can find on line that for a couple of crisp twenties (guessing) they will do an oil analysis for you. . That will tell you how much copper,and other engine materials have warn down. Personally, I'd just keep it topped every 7,500 with high quality hi-mileage oil. I hope that helps. Best of luck and yes, I'm seriously jealous of your luck.

Hi Greg, stumbled on you KZread on the Genesis. Great car and review. Bought a 2011 3.8 brand new and it has been bulletproof. Synthetic oil changes and tire rotations every 7500 miles and 91000 miles later it still runs and looks new. My 18 year old daughter has been driving it the last 18 months and will be taking it to college in June.

Just wanted to say what a great and helpful review thank you!

Excellent info. Truly. I am a former German car fanatic but the Japanese and Koreans have reformed my thoughts at almost every level. The Koreans learned quickly what the Japanese already knew through decades of trial and error--good quality goes a long way in the United States.

Really good advice about HWY miles, Never thought about it. Thanks

Hey dude! Thanks for the advice. LOVE THE VEST!

I own a 2012 4.6 and just love it! Smooth quiet 385 HP power. Would buy a Hyundai again!

The Hyundai Genesis is awesome especially the 4.6, with the V8 and the 5.0 R Spec is well, highly reliable with the V8, these engines was tested to go 800,000 miles. Most owners will get 200,000 miles or more easily with rountine maintenance.

great review my friend, you made me decide to buy this genesis than a bmw 5 or 3 series

I bought a 2009 Hyundai Genesis black just like the car in the video but with the 4.6 liter V8 and it's been a great car. Acceleration is awesome and smooth as silk. Ride is comfortable, which included a trip from New York to North Carolina. I get 25 mpg on the interstate, which is amazing for a four thousand pound car with 380 horse power. No problems at all to report. I highly recommend these cars.

Awesome insight on how to know highway driven car!

Picking up a good used Equus is also great. I did and it was a steal. So strong, so powerful, so comfortable, a ton of amenities and there aren't a ton on the road so it makes it extra special. Repairs and maintenance have been simple and cheap.

@dgriffin6074

Has your opinion about the car changed? It's a relatively rare car; any difficulty obtaining parts?

I have had THREE Equus automobiles. Still have two, a 2011 ultimate with the fridge and bar in back, and a 2016 ultimate with video screens in back. I traded in the 2014 for the last of the same style 2016, because I loved the others so much, and was not a fan of the look of the front g90, or the lack of video in the back. My 2011 has 49,000 and has never needed a single thing. It still looks brand new, inside and out, is as quiet as my 2016 with 7000 miles. I enjoy them both equally. I cannot think of one thing to complain about. People stop me all the time and tell me what a beautiful car it is, but WHAT KIND? LOL. Not that many were sold in the U.S. They both have the same 16 speaker fabulous surround sound system. Never had a luxury car with anything that came close to it in sound quality. I cannot imagine myself getting rid of either of these as long as they continue to give me such wonderful service..

Good information. thanks,

owne the 2009 4.6 litre version. a little over a 100,000 miles and still runs very smoothly. Best investment i ever made. Never had a major issue. just my regular oil change and changes in break pads and air filters.

2009 Hyundai Genesis here with the 3.8 V6. It’s got 120,000 miles thus far and it’s been very reliable. Would highly recommend as a very affordable used luxury car.

Bought a 2013 in 2014 everything on it brand new from dealer on an internet deal. Still have it, only regular maintenance and just now replaced breaks, past 20k they would say, every 5k they would say about 5k more miles. At 70k finally had to replace the factory tires and made them do breaks. I will buy another, if this one ever burns out.

Genesis 2014 owner, miles just over 123456^*^. The only repair was the crome peeled off on gear shift lever, just like you described on door handle(warranty repair of course). Tire changed at 78k and tranny fluid changed at 79k. Oil changed at every 7.5k just as described in the manual. The car runs like new, all the electrics are working. Have had two honda odyssey, accord, bmw5, mercedes gl, infiniti qx and currently this and lexus rx. By far, this was the most reliable and comfortable vehicle i ever owned. Planning to keep it over 300k i hope!!!

To correct one point in your video, when you bought the V6 model, you did *not* get a Hyundai transmission, but rather, you got the legendary Aisin transmission, as found in the flagship Lexus LS!! - the one that is known to last 300K+ miles (and no wonder it was so smooth).

I owned a 2009 Hyundai Genesis 4.6L with the Tech package. Brakes were soft for 53,000 miles before Hyundai admitted it with a recall. I also had a knocking on my engine. They replaced it at 75,000 with a brand new engine from Ontario CA factory. Even though I had these issues and many warranty replacements in the 110,000 miles I drove it, I absolutely loved that car. It was hard to part with it but I did and leased another Genesis, 2016 Ibiza Blue 3.6L Ultimate. I am at the end of this lease and considering the Kia version of the G80 or the G70, as in Cadenza or Stinger. The Genesis pricing has changed considerably, hence my attraction to Kia.

150k miles on my kia had since 3 miles on it. oil changes air filters tires and spark plugs is the only thing ive replaced

I own a 2006 Hyundai Tucson Limited and it already has 105k miles and no major problems. A money well invested. It only had one recall regarding the air bag compared to my previous Ford vehicle which had multiple problems and numerous recalls. Wear and tear cosmetic wise it's expected.

Hey, thanks I had never thought about one of those cars before. Will be looking for one if they are reasonable.

I was invited to a factory presentation of the Genesis when it came out, probably late 2008. They had several BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus models to compare it to. I got to drive all of them and I remember telling the salesman that while the Genesis appeared to be comparable to the other cars and the price made it appear to be a good value, I predicted that it would depreciate much faster than the competition mainly because it was a Hyundai therefore it was not a good value at all. On the other hand, because of this accelerated depreciation, I predicted that the Genesis would be a great used car value one day. I believe my prediction has come true.

@mcearl8073

Frank Howard I dunno, I think they have held their value about the same or better than the German cars. That's being said you're probably right on it being a decent used car purchase, it still depreciated a lot and was cheaper to begin with, they are nice looking and reliable. I still prefer the German cars though, they carry more prestige with them which is why companies always try to compare them to the Germans. Take that for what it is I guess. Maybe not as much to enthusiasts but your average joe sees a guy in a Benz and he automatically thinks it's an expensive car when truth is the guy probably picked it up second or third hand for less than a cheap econobox. Sure the maintenance is a bit more but if you play it right it's not more expensive to own than anything else.

Billy. Thanks for your comment. I agree with everything you said except the last sentence you see, I make my living selling used auto parts on eBay and I specialize in the makes where the manufacturer is ripping off his customers namely Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes, Saab, and Volvo. If they weren't charging so much for parts, I couldn't sell my used parts for much. That's why I don't carry Hyundai parts. Those parts are just too reasonable so it would be more difficult to make money selling used Hyundai parts, or Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, Ford, GM, or Chrysler parts.

My last sentence still stands true for the most part though maybe I didn't explain it right. Let's say the average joe goes and buys a new or almost new car and doesn't do his own maintenance, he's going to spend 15k or more on average for a couple year old Hyundai or whatever where I can buy a Mercedes or a BMW after depreciation has already taken its toll for the same or even half that depending on if I'm willing to go older or with more miles and if I avoid the dealer and do my own maintenance and use aftermarket parts(bought on eBay or Amazon etc) my cost of ownership is really not any more or often less than Average Joe driving a random econobox. The problem and crazy costs really only come when you start going to the dealer and always using factory parts. That's certainly not all that's involved in playing it right as I said but that's the main key, it isn't for everyone but it works for a lot of people.

Billy. You said that, "...if you play it right it's not more expensive to own than anything else." but when you laid out your example, you didn't compare apples to apples. You said when the average Joe buys a new or almost new car, "...he's going to spend 15k or more on average for a couple year old Hyundai or whatever where I can buy a Mercedes or a BMW after depreciation has already taken its toll for the same or even half that..." I disagree. A couple year old Mercedes or BMW will cost more than the Hyundai. A much older Mercedes or BMW will cost the same and only a significantly older Mercedes or BMW will cost less so to pay the same, you'll be looking at a Mercedes or BMW that is older than the Hyundai. That's not comparing apples to apples. Now I understand that you clarified your example by saying that you could accept an older car, but again, I don't believe you compared apples to apples. You compared a Hyundai owner who always takes his car to the dealer to yourself, a guy who does his own work. Why don't you compare a Hyundai owner who does his own repairs to yourself? If you did, you'd find that the Hyundai owner is paying significantly less for new parts and that's where my business comes in. I offer the typical Mercedes or BMW owner an alternative to high priced new parts as I sell used ones so while you're replacing parts with used ones from eBay, the Hyundai owner is replacing parts with new ones from eBay. I think when you said, "...if you play it right..." you were saying if you do your own work and when you said it was no more expensive, you didn't place a value on your own labor.

I know I'm not comparing apples to apples, a Mercedes and a Hyundai are not apples to apples comparison IMO. I definitely would never say you can buy a new Mercedes or a new Hyundai and the cost of ownership will be about the same, that's just never going to happen, not anytime soon anyway. Yes you'll have to buy an older Mercedes, but it doesn't need to be considerably older, depending on the model anyway. My point wasn't that a new Benz will cost the same as a new Hyundai, my point was IF you play it right one can own a Mercedes for less than or the same as a new(ish) Hyundai, I probably shouldn't have said "anything else" as that's far too vague and one could always buy an older Hyundai and do their own maintenance and that's not going to cost as much as a Mercedes or BMW. I guess to sum it all up is I'd rather be driving a 5-7 year old Mercedes than a new or almost new Hyundai and I can do so for about the same money but I understand that is not going to be the same for everyone and that's fine too.

If your biggest problem with your car is wear and tear on your gearshift knob, count yourself blessed.

Saw an 09 V6 with 197000 miles run through an auction for $2700 .Decent shape and ran well with no smoke or funny noises from engine

I love you, dude!! Thank you for what you do!!

This video is 💯% accurate as my family has owned two Hyundais now, and both have gone well over 140k+ miles with just regular maintenance. The only Hyundais that don't last are the ones from the Bronx that get abused...y'all know what I'm talking about lol.

In the next 4 years I will be buying the equus or the G90

I own the v8..great car Now at 115000 miles .

4.6? How has it been holding up? Is reliability good? Any major issues? I want to get an 09 for 7,500 with 122k miles but since it would be my next daily I’m not too sure how reliable it would be

@@obungapyramid5525 It's bulletproof. if you want power which I assume with a nice sporty style and luxury audio and comfort its a great buy. the electronics are hit or miss but most you can live without. NAVI backup camera and sunroof are common failures. I haven't gotten any and my car is at 91k. the alternator is known for issues but mine has been ok so far. the paint is ok but I would invest in a ceramic clearcoat asap as it's very thin and rock chips are very common. if the paint is clean the owner was a very caring owner. ask me any more questions. performance is ok because the factory slows the car down, eg shift patterns, torque management, throttle response timer. most of it but the manual option is where I would keep it in. and the economy is great I sometimes average 27 in colorado and seen it at 29 on a downhill highway. 10/10 would recommend, the aftermarket is small so insurance will love you.

The 2009-2011 Hyundai Genesis V6 sedan used an Aisin 6-speed transmission, not one made by Hyundai (incorrectly stated in the video). Aisin was initially a joint venture between Toyota and Borg-Warner to produce transmissions, but were also used in many other brands also. As stated in the video, the 2009-2011 Hyundai Genesis V8 used a ZF 6HP26 6-speed automatic transmission. Starting in 2012 model year, both the V6 and V8 used a newly designed Hyundai 8-speed transmission.

Own a kia sportage for 8 years with almost 300k miles on it now. Zero problems with just regular maintenance. Looking to get a used g80 as my next car when they depreciate enough lol.

I had a 2008 Mercedes Benz CSL550 that had the EXACT problem with the chrome plating on the inside door handles (and yes, I cut myself too).

Great video thank you! Now that that is getting older as a used car, and I guess they stopped making in 2014 from what you are saying, do you have any other recommendations? Also, I've always owned Honda Accords, but I learned that in 2008 they changed the rules regarding headrests, and many cars, including Hondas, have a very uncomfortable (intolerable) headrest. Would love to see a video on those for ALL cars -- which ones are now comfortable? I think it would be popular because there are pages & pages of complaints on the Internet, regarding Honda especially, but also many other brands.

The second generation Genesis (later known as G80) is even better than the first generation, and is also a great used car. It won't be as inexpensive though. But any Genesis between 2014-2018 should have dropped in price quite a bit by now...

I bought a 2012 Genesis in 3017 with 82000 miles and now it has 135500 and in the 7 years thaat I have had this car no major problems, last month the battery need to be replaced that's over 6 years and the harmony balance start making noise so I had that replaced,no brake job,no tune-up and still going strong and by the way it's the 3.8 motor with plenty of power,will continue to drive it until it play out!

I’m really looking forward to seeing the new G70 2.0T with the 6 speed manual when it comes out in the fall.

I got 150k in my 2012 Genesis 3.8 and still running strong. Suspension not as good as on a Benz, but Hyundai can run it on regular gas. If money was not an issue I would prefer the Benz, but for the 99% it is a better choice.

Hi, I read your halo list and the worst cars list but couldn't find my car on any of them. What're your thoughts on the Hyundai Azera tg? Thanks for your great videos

Bro, that vest is sweet.

After owning two 335i's and having to take them in every month for warranty repair. Owning a 535i and having the same issues, I couldn't wait to trade these badge cars. I own a 15 genisis and it's never been to the dealership, accept for free oil changes. Bought it new for 15 grand under sticker and have 50k miles in a little over 2 years. Not a single issue. Keep the badge..

Mine has 145k on it with the 4.6 and this car has a ton of electrical issues. So far on mine ive had two front parking sensors go out, the sunroof went out, the rear curtain went out, backup camera went out, dynamic cruise control is wacky sometimes. All within two years. Other then that have not had any issues with mechanical stuff.

hey, i like your videos good job, if possible can you do a review on a used Infiniti G35. thanks

Many thanks. Please do one for the first generation rav4

The hotted up R spec or the "performance" versions of any car are more likely to have been abused. Why buy the hotrod version if you are not going to "use" it?

Greg, there are a lot of German Badge snobs who buy German (some buy Volvo) cars thinking they are better than local of Japanese, Korean cars. Your video above open their minds about non-German cars which equal if not exceed "perceived" German quality but can be purchased and maintained at lower prices.

EXACTLY! German cars are some of the best when it comes to comfort, performance, luxury, refinement, technology etc., but they have the *WORST* build quality, reliability and durability, and are INTENTIONALLY designed to fail and "turn to dust" after the warranty expires, so that they can sell you another new car. So when you do the math that $120,000 Mercedes S Class actually costs *3 or 4 TIMES* what an $85,000 Lexus LS 460, that will give you 250,000+ miles of "bulletproof" reliable service, costs!!! This is evident in the resale values as well. Over the years, as people have finally "wisened up" to this, 10-year old German cars like the S-class become worth virtually "NOTHING", while a Lexus of similar vintage, holds its value like gold (relatively speaking). That is why, Mercedes does not even offer a good extended warranty on their new products, and even the extremely shitty extended warranty they do offer (which excludes "this and that", and goes up to max of something like 75K miles (a complete joke), is super expensive. Goes to show that they don't have any confidence that their own product will last a decent amount of time!!

I recently bought a 2011 4.6 V8 with 12.000 miles. Like new. A pleasure to drive and plenty of power. Great seats. The suspension could have had a bit more development. Not good on Los Angeles potholes.

All cars have the ac condenser in front of the radiator for obvious reasons. I'm sure you were looking at the condenser and NOT the radiator.

I am looking at a 09 Genesis 4.6l. I am wondering if the reliability is the same for the 6 cylinder and the 8 cylinder. They do not share the same transmission.

I love how you guys pronounce this marque. HUNDAY, like Monday. We say Hi-yun-dai

Who's we? Most Americans (Muricans?) have a hard time with saying it how it's actually supposed to be pronounced. Think of the word hue, but instead of a long u sound like in true, think of a shorter u sound like in sun. So go back to hue, but with a short u sound, and then add an n to that sound. Then add dai to it, but instead of it sounding like day, it actually sounds like the first part of the word dai-ry or dai-ly. Of course, the Koreans knew that Americans couldn't be bothered with actually pronouncing it correctly, assuming that they even could, so they just let it go. Kind of like some Spanish words/names are completely butchered in English, but since Latinos have experienced it for decades or longer, it's not just changing and they just accept it and even pronounce the words the same way themselves when speaking to white people, basically...

Got a 09 genesis with 131,000 miles in it and still running strong. No leaks doesnt bien oil and havnt gotten any check engine light at all great car to own

You forgot to mention that the 2012+ models engines were revised upping the power. 333Hp and 291Tq. Also gaining a better bump up in MPGs with a new 8sp automatic transmission from the previous models 6sp. They also revised front headlights, adding a LED daytime running light. Love this ride. My only issues with this car, is the electronically control gas pedal. It doesn't provide a good feeling and has delay reaction times. Not such a big isses, but even though it has a 7way stereo system. The sound quality is not satisfactory enough. (Generic Speakers) It should be and could be better. Would I recommend this car... HELL YEAH. 👍🏼 Nice car, good reliability smooth ride, plenty of power, and especially could get one for a nice low used car prIce. Compared to other used cars in this price range, Ya cant go wrong. Genesis > Civic, Accord, Focus, Cobalt, Camry, Dart, Altima, Maxima, Mailbu, Etc.....

That is a good looking genesis. These sell well at dealer auction. I see many with very high miles. They are a good value. Greg. What do you do for a living other than youtube? Just curious. You mention when you inspect genesis plural. Are u a dealer? Thx.

How bout mitsubishi lancer gt's?Not necessarily the evoX..what ur take on that?Bcause in my area..a 2013-15 can be seen hovering around $6k-8k for a good condition ones with evoX bodykit

hey there... Really nice used car review...Hi can you please tell me the watch you were wearing brand and model in this video please....

I own a 2011 Genesis with 115k miles and love it . ..however has anyone had issues with the control knob/joystick? Mine started working intermittenly and currently isn't working at all. Let me know if you've encountered this issue and if so how was it resolved?

I got rid of a 2012 Mustang GT that lived at the repair shop for a 2014 Hyundai Veloster Turbo. The Hyundai has not had a single issue in the 2 years I have had it and it is just a way better car outside of the power of the Ford. I don't regret that trade one bit.
