I bought a new Genesis in
I bought a new Genesis in 2009 and still have it with only 41,000 miles. Although I drove both the V6 and V8 I went with the V6 and I am still happy that was my choice. To say I like this car is an understatement, I have only had one issue with the car when it was very new about 3,000 miles, an accelerator module went bad. Happily the car didn't stop running it did what it was designed to do and limited my speed to about 35 mph or so. After that nothing, nada, nil it just keeps running. The dealer I got the car from threw in a free oil change every 5,000 mile and I have faithfully had this maintenance done. When the car had about 3500 miles I decided to see what it would do, after I got a little over 150mph a safety issue kicked in and made the car slow down, probably a good thing lol. So I have never regretted getting the V6. My normal gas mileage in town is 22.5 mpg and on highway 27 mpg is not uncommon. Naturally it all depends on whether I'm being heavy footed which is my tendency. With little or no effort this car seems to just glide into action from a dead stop, for sure it’s one of the best riding and smoothest cars I have ever owned, and I've had a lot of em. The funny thing is when I bought the car I really wasn't in the market for a car; in fact it was an impulse buy. Although I had read some ads about the 2009 model I didn't know it was car of the year at that time. The biggest reason I got the car is cuz at that time cars were not selling at all people were scared, when I haggled with the salesman and he gave me a price I almost jokingly threw a number back at him. He refused and as I was going to my car he called me back and came to within $200 dollars of the number I said, so now I had to decide if I really wanted a car as he called my bluff. To me it’s the best deal I've ever gotten on a car and I hope to get many more years of enjoyment from this great car.
