I LOVE the under-body segments. You're the only automotive journalism source that actually shows viewers what the suspension components and critical drive components look like. And the comment on the drain plug is good practical info that we won't ever get from MT, C/D, et al. Great review. Keep up the excellent work.
If you want a more entertaining and gimmicky review the straightpipes is where it's but if you want a more technical and refined review SavageGeese will serve the purpose.
GM is closing plants and Ford says it’s not making cars anymore. I open my Motor Trend COTY issue yesterday, and the winner is the Genesis G70. Bravo, Hyundai...BRAVO!
@japanwatchconnection I don't think they did this time. I test drove many cars and come from BMW/Porsche (kept the Porsche). I was impressed. Light years beyond prior offerings and better than the 340i M-sport packages IMO
I wish I had a larger vocabulary to properly do Savagegeese's work justice but the man is just amazing. Such good insights and descriptions. Love the undercar segments. Simply the best. Better then all the rest. I love you
When one wishes to improve things about their life, it's good to hang around people who are inspirational in those aspects. Those who are wealthy, talk to them and figure out what they did to get there. Those who speak well, spend time with them and really allow their talking to rub off. Those who manage their time well, spend time around them and find out their habits to emulate. If you're broke, if you speak badly, if you waste a lot of time, your friends are probably all doing the same thing.
This car has so much more style on the interior than the 3 series bmws. I think I’ve heard that this is a better 3 series than the real 3 series and I (without having driven it) would tend to agree. Great review Mr. Goose
Exhaust Sports Auto haven’t driven it either, but what stands out to me is that the 2.0 has much worse fuel Econ ratings than all of its competitors by far. Some will say fuel isn’t important in a car like this, but I still question why they can’t get it close to the rest of the cars with 2.0t engines.
Savagegeese is my abslolute favourite car channel. He is building up his videos like a professional film director. Very much appreciate his honest reviews. Keep up the good work 👍
Wow. 107 thumbs up in 30 minutes. You're on a roll. This car looks great, I saw a Genesis LWB in Melbourne just last week and I couldn't stop looking. Love the grill and the side profile is sooo elegant, good stance on the road too. That engine's a beast and apparently very reliable.
Have a Genesis G80. No Sports car, but so much better than my older S class, at one third the price. Just returned home from a road trip to Wyoming. Had so much fun on the curves on Montana's I 90 Lookout pass.What a Blast. My best car ever, so far! Genesis is going to be a problem for the Germans! In my opinion!
no way the genesis is going to be a problem for the germans. the germans own the luxury sector. id take my dads mint 2001 s500 over this brand new korean wannabe luxury poopbox.
@@elkoalidzanovic9926 LOL think again bud. korea is 20 years behind germany in terms of design engineering and tech. there is no real luxury that comes from korea. thanks for coming out though.
@@deaf2819 ive driven kias before theyre shit. look at the design of this car, its clearly trying to be a bmw/audi. doesnt matter how this one drivers it'll never drive as good as a german luxury car. or any other euro luxury car.
Almost a decade ago a car with this performance would cost 1.5 times more like the older Lexus ISF or M3 but it's incredible what you can buy now a days.
That’s certainly a beautiful car. I looked at it a few times before ultimately deciding on a Stinger. The G70 is dynamically more sound than the Stinger but the left rear seat is unusable with a driver over 6’. I’m sure the lack of space helps with the dynamics but the priority for me was accommodating my family and friends over the bump in dynamics that the G70 gives versus the Stinger. With that said as a value based consumer I still like both of these over all of their competitors. Kudos to Hyundai/Kia on hitting a double on their first at bat. Keep it going 👍
I like that they moved the cruise control buttons over to be right just beside your right thumb instead of inboard to other controls on the steering wheel. That makes it a bit quicker and easier to use cruise control without ever having to look down at those buttons.
Wow, this car is beautiful. I love the color combinations , interior and the controls. At 6.5 feet tall I cannot get comfortable in most Hyundais. These cars take a huge hit with depreciation the first few years. Good job Hyundai every 3 years the quality in theses cars increases 5 fold. Now if they can only get the ride handling balance of say an A4.
No word of a lie, the G70 is my lottery car. Style, luxury, and performance, but with a price tag under $80 Grand. I work with guys who own pick up trucks that cost more. No, it's not a super car, and it's not gonna stand out in a crowded field of big money moving machines, but that's what I love about it. It fits perfectly into my lifestyle and has that air of low key sophistication.
Watching Mark navigate the streets of Mississauga with the straight pipe boys was like he lived in Illinois. Great video as always. Keep up the great work Mark and thanks. Come again soon.
Sweet! I always loved it when TV shows I watched as a kid did "crossover" episodes! Also, to my eyes, this is the best looking Hyndai to date. Looks really great on the spec sheet as well.
I'm loving the Genesis sub-brand - they have their own styling identity, more conservative than Lexus but conservative styling ages better. Really hope the hits keep on coming from Genesis...
Good review and love the car. There is no doubt that Genesis and KIA in particular have the ability to build one or two world beaters and will do so in coming years.
There's no other interior in the game right now that has this level of exclusivity in this class! That red quilt stitching on the doors and seats sold me 😎
Great review of the G70. Had already seen the Straight Pipes review with the Goose on it. I was wondering when we would get the SG rendition. I really like the G70, however being a Mazda fan, may be biased toward the Mazda 6 Turbo, even with the fwd/rwd/awd difference.
Agreed. I drive a G80 and never look at the analog clock-- the digital clock on the dash display is easier and faster to read, and it's the only clock I ever use. The space occupied by the analog clock would be much better used for four of the seven buttons currently positioned on the dashboard to the lower left of the steering wheel, which are kind of hard to see because the wheel is in their line of sight.
I really do appreciate and agree with your perspective on how you don't obligate people to subscribe or to you.. Keep doing what you're doing and the subscribers will come. Cheers brother!
Love it! Been waiting for this. I'd love to see a direct comparo of the stinger and G70. Interior, space etc, but nobody is doing it :( Even the G80, just how much bigger is it? Love the Straight Pipes appearance guys!
What an awesome crossover of channels. Yes, i've said it on both channels. You guys are great together. Love the content, keep it coming. I'm shocked you don't have a million subs.
I want a sedan that's a good middle ground. Soft, quiet, takes bumps like a champ, while also having good acceleration time and one hell of a exhaust note. So far a Stinger, a Genesis and possibly an Audi R3 are my choices.
I love my 2016 Hyundai Elantra with ,67,000 mi.. Best car, best warranty, good on gas and best practical car with good price! Only regular maintenance required.
Mr Goose and the Straight Pipes in the Shoppe 5 minutes from my house and I didn't see them. Damn, wish I could say hi in person. Hope you had a great time in Canada!
3.3 isn't available with manual trans .... RWD biased , atmost equal weight distribution ....my god its just awesome .... geese can you include figures like 0-100 and in gear ..that would be great
+1 regarding the terrible traffic in the GTA. Moved here last year from the West Coast for work. Already looking to transfer back because I can’t stand how busy and congested everything is.... anyways good review as always!
you get levels of german performance at a value packed south korean reliability price. i’ve gone from team lexus to team genesis just because of this car 🔥
Canadians seem like very nice people 👍 Never have been there but have always heard 2 things about Canada. 1) the cities are very crowded, 2) the people are very nice genuinely. This Genesis is great. If i was in the market i would be looking at one. Would take this over a stinger... But that's just me. Hyundai just has better looking cars vs Kia IMO.
Shoppers beware! The insurance rates on the G70 are INSANELY higher than other sporty cars. Was going to get a G70 with a manual till my insurance agent told me it means $600 more a year vs. other choices.
It’s nice to see it that you and straight pipes guys are interacting just like us , your subscribers....on a personal note, even I should be more more biased towards Yuri, because I’m Ukrainian like him (just living in US) , but your right you have your Audience ....me(!) ....I like your reviews much, for your stile....Please stay true...not many can do that...;-)
When the screen eventually breaks.... Uh my 07 A3 Sline has a trash screen, the car has been beat on and modified, has 200k miles, and the thing still works. I don't think that will really be an issue. Still I get your point. My wife's jeep compass is like that and it's annoying.
Hey Mark, I drove the 3.3 TT (slight turbo lag) for an entire weekend in Vancouver, Canada just 30 days ago and totally luved it except for: (a) the rear seats are small (b) The resale value & reliability concerns are HUGE (c) I found a huge vibration when cornering - could be the brake vectoring. BUT - The price point, the maintenance included, the valet service that I received was top notch, that engine was put thru its paces and handled it very well, huge amounts of torque (I enjoy to drive spiritedly when safe to do so- Very very happy with that engine & transmission), many Drive Modes, great sound system and all the safety features. I used that right pedal and my mileage took a big hit. I also drove on eco mode on a highway trip for 100 kms and got 12.6/100 kms. The comparable cars will set you back $15K for similar features and options. I like the looks. My tester had the Blue ext with Red Brembos, dark wheels along with the black & red int. That quilted interior is gorgeous. Really it has every feature that you want AND the drive, sportiness, turning radius, that ENGINE...WOW!!! Cheers from Vancouver, Canada
I own a 2020 Stinger with AWD. All cars with electronics have a delay--once you get use to where it is you can use it to your advantage.I ran a 12.7 at the drag strip and beat 500 plus HP cars--so KIA/Genesis are doing something right, It shifts as good as the dodge charger SRT and AUDI A6 as a comparison. I did not use launch control either--my 60 was 4.27--so it is shifting faster then many other performance cars.There was a new Golf r and he ran a low 13 second in each run--so my stinger was dusting that car also which supposedly really shifts quick.
Great review. I love both this channel and TSP. Cliche corner is on my commute to work. Jakub/Yuri, if you see a grey G80 5.0 lurking about, that’s me! Cheers. Marc
I've got a question: why is the G70 so much more expensive than the Kia Stinger, which shares a similar platform and identical power plant? (as of this writing a G70 Sport cost $7500 more than the top of the line Stinger GT Limited here in Canada) Because, frankly, the G70 doesn't offer anything more than the Stinger. In fact, there's more room in the latter because of the hatchback.
Thank you for giving us American money. Look out for us on the Forbes list now
Was that cliche corner at the start?!?!?!
AND TIM HORTON'S!!! But not a small...
All those idiots waiting in line at Starbucks...they should be waiting at line at Tim Hortons! Coffee is so much better.
or you could just save your money and not spend it on overpriced coffee.
Nothing Like watching a Savagegeese and Straight Pipes Colab while Hockey Night in Canada is on eh?
I LOVE the under-body segments. You're the only automotive journalism source that actually shows viewers what the suspension components and critical drive components look like. And the comment on the drain plug is good practical info that we won't ever get from MT, C/D, et al. Great review. Keep up the excellent work.
I almost thought this was TheStraightPipes when I saw the cliche corner intro.
I saw him and came down to comment section just to see if anyone else mentioned it lol

Yeah. It almost made me gag.
Right ? I was lost for a second too...
Yuri is ok hate that Connan OBrien liberal raptor guy.

As most of GM cars are today made in China, Indonesia, India, etc

Ok, now where's my $20?
When I saw Yuri get into the middle seat, I thought, "Now there's a guy who will pee in the urinal next to yours when there are 4 others open."
LoL
LMAO 😂😂
@ Yuri's cute. He could hold my hand and I wouldn't be mad.
Definitely the guy who parks next you when there are many other open spaces!

You look kind of uncomfortable sitting in the middle-hump back seat. Why not move further over? 🤷🏽♂️

I'm glad this footage wasn't lost!
Nearly 2,000 miles in and I love my G70! It’s just a great balance between practicality and fun without being too worried about the value.

The interior of the upcoming G20 might tickle your rectum a little bit more
(Edit)
Wanted to clarify that I was referring to the G20 BMW 3 series
Hyundai and kia are working actually with BMW engeneer in design and other departments
I don't like the way it looks the front looks awkward
Even when you are speaking positively about something, it still sounds like you're being negative. 😂 😂 😂

Just his persona. Some people are naturally built that way.

Same here!

Beautifully done Savege. Love the chemistry with Straight Pipes, very entertaining.

Would love to see more of the three of you exchanging thoughts on the car. I couldnt wish for a more complete set of opinions!
refreshing to watch Straight Pipers' driving scene with Geese's voice. Kudos to making a great review. G70 really is a great sport sedan.
Sweet! I always loved it when TV shows I watched as a kid did "crossover" episodes!

This cross over with the straight pipes was the BEST part if this video (and the car of course) but THAT'S IT!💯

Liked before viewing because this channel always brings the business!
Great review of the G70. Had already seen the Straight Pipes review with the Goose on it. I was wondering when we would get the SG rendition. I really like the G70, however being a Mazda fan, may be biased toward the Mazda 6 Turbo, even with the fwd/rwd/awd difference.
Thanks Genesis for removing the analog clock. They look out of place on 99% of modern vehicles.
Agreed. I drive a G80 and never look at the analog clock-- the digital clock on the dash display is easier and faster to read, and it's the only clock I ever use.

Beautiful car and beautiful color. The g80 sport is one of my dream cars. Can't wait till Genesis makes a SUV I bet it will be gorgeous

Great collab, hope you had a great time in Canada. It's nice to see very different channels share and help each others.
Haha, glad you enjoyed the Canadian traffic. We have the busiest highway in North America!
Great video and colab with the dudes from Straight Pipes. 👍
Great review. I love both this channel and TSP. Cliche corner is on my commute to work. Jakub/Yuri, if you see a grey G80 5.0 lurking about, that’s me! Cheers. Marc
I've got a question: why is the G70 so much more expensive than the Kia Stinger, which shares a similar platform and identical power plant? (as of this writing a G70 Sport cost $7500 more than the top of the line Stinger GT Limited here in Canada)
Because, frankly, the G70 doesn't offer anything more than the Stinger. In fact, there's more room in the latter because of the hatchback.
Straight pipes cameo was awesome!! Great work as always man. I’m stoked about the G70. 👍
I was watching another review and I saw SG in my recommended. Clicked Immediately.
