Replying to: sergio19 (Apr 14, 2009 12:52 pm) I, for one, believe your MPG numbers because I get similar results (or better) all the time and I am at 21,000 miles on the odometer. To get that mileae, I don't have to use crazy coasting techniques or drive 55 MPH. I can get the EPA rating of 27 MPG on any trip except one that had me driving into sustained 30 MPH headwinds.   For those of you who think I must be exagerating, take a look at my previous posts and you will see that I do not shy away from a few criticisms of the Genesis. However, you will see that I have consistently praised the performance of the 3.8 engine mated to the slick-shifting six speed, both for its quickness and for its gas mileage.

Replying to: sergio19 (Apr 14, 2009 12:52 pm) Bonjour,   I am very impress by the fuel economy of the V8.   Just for comparaison, i have a V6, and at 118km (2000 rpm) to cover 250km (Mtl to Quebec city)...i got a 7.9l / 100km.   I was not all the time on the cruise control, but still, a V8 with 8.2l/100km is very impressive or "remarquable"   Just for information, what was your RPM ???

Replying to: bobad (Apr 14, 2009 8:09 am) Sorry - you are wrong. You need to separate dialouge and sheer number of posts from postings from different individuals. Across message boards (especially early on) there are numerous postings from different individuals (and reviewers btw). For my negotiation with Hyundai I myself collected 75 individual complaints about suspension issues. In all fairness, these did include five private emails sent to me and not posted on a message board. Now, 75 complaints in the grand scheme of the number of Genny's sold is not a lot. However, we have no idea how many have a concern and never post and vica versa. So, there may be only a small percentage of people unhappy enough to post or trade their vehicle or what not - but, please do not keep pretending that it's only one person or no one has a problem because that is simply not true.

Replying to: JohnNW (Apr 15, 2009 5:19 am) but, please do not keep pretending that it's only one person or no one has a problem because that is simply not true.   Never said that, and you know I never said that. All I'm saying is that 1 obsessed or disgruntled person who does not even own a Genesis can badly skew google search results.   Try it! Do a search on "genesis suspension problems", and tell me how many of the first 10 hits are complaints (or linked to complaints) by a non-Genesis owner.   The average car shopper who does a superficial google search can be badly misled.

Replying to: bobad (Apr 15, 2009 6:45 am) I can see your point. I'd say though that that is no reason for people not post as much as they want. Conversely, people posting over and over about their great, buttery smooth ride or such (which I unfortunately have never experienced in my purchased vehicle) can skew search results as well. No one has an obligation to Genesis or Hyundai to worry about Google search results. I'd hope any potential buyer would ultimately do more than a superficial search. Personally - I'm more upset about the fact that Hyundai promised me a state of the art, advanced suspension with a smooth, yet sporty ride yet sold me a car that rode like an old truck with no shocks 90% of the time.

Replying to: JohnNW (Apr 15, 2009 9:41 am) You know...one can read as many posts as they want to read (good or bad), but the only way ANYONE will find out how the car will feel to THEM is to go put their butt in the driver's seat and take it for a test drive. Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate the feedback positive or negative from those who have actually experienced the car for themselves, but there are just too many that will simply jump on a bandwagon and say things based on what they've read or heard from somewhere else and honestly...don't have a clue. Those the ones that truly skew the searches when it comes to find out info on a particular vehicle.

We, enjoy this automobile. Keep an open mind. We, feel there is nothing wrong with this class of car.

Replying to: fedlawman (Mar 28, 2009 11:06 am) "Actually, I guess that's how I personally characterize the Genesis - it's not a bottom-tier luxury car (competing with Lexus and BMW), it's a "tweener car" that sits above the Accord/Camry/Maxima."   First of all my comments are really only really relevent for the V8 with Tech package. For the V6 without many options your statement may be accurate. But for a loaded V8 trim Genesis I would completely disagree with you, it is not a bottom tier Luxury car and certainly not a family car thats sitting just above an accord. Based purely on features, quality of components, build quality and preformance documented through multiple road tests including 0-60, 1/4 mile, braking, slalom, wet handling, dry handling, etc it is in a very exclusive league occupied by V8 BMW's, Audi's or Benz's. The suspension is not a problem, it is one of the strong features of the Genesis and is matched very well with the Tau engine and ZF transmission. It's not a coincidence that the car performs so well in the slalom and G force tests. Replies to this message: fedlawman (Apr 17, 2009 11:06 am)
