I would pick the Alfa Giulia Q4 ... The Genesis is a mercedes c class coupe wanna be, looking at the rear end of it..... and as far as for the Mustang, a BMW E90 335D Estate ! humiliated me last year on the highway while I was driving a Mustang... ;(
Throttle House Blue G70 ✌🏻 🚙
Mustang GT with 10 speed
I honestly don't see too many people cross shopping these two cars because they are so different other than speed. If you want a fast 4-door, get the G70. For me, it would be the Mustang because I like N/A v8's with a manual transmission. The Ford v8 will probably require less maintenance long term compared to a twin-turbo v6. It would NOT be orange, though. Full disclosure, one of my daily drivers is a 2004 Mach 1, 5sp manual, 124K miles, owned since new.
I bought a mustang. The seats are still comfortable when you go premium. Still not like the genesis. But man it is so much fun. The genesis is a great car but the mustang always makes me smile.
Watching this made me realize how much Throttle House improved itself over the last 3 years. Editing, writing, camera... everything is beyond TV quality right now.
apart from the audio issues in this episode and an edit that cut too early, yes
It's what the modern Top Gear should be. I no longer watch Doug because these guys changed car review shows for me. Great work
Crazy that this was only 5 years ago and the quality has improved SO much.
Genesis is the perfect combo of performance and luxury
Rahul Gahlawat guys if u live in a city and like to race in Busy highways don’t buy a Mustang
Performance? 😂😂😂😂
@@the_batmobile0.4 My Genesis goes 174mph, every one ever produced is 150mph +.... Its plenty fast for a daily
@@TheRickJames 00-100?
@@the_batmobile0.4 How about 0-150? Over 30 secs in the mustang and 48 in my V6 genesis.... difference is I'm not holding on for dear life lol. Top speed for the 19 5.0 mustang is 155mph, top speed for the 16 genny is 5.0 is 185.... They are built for two entirely different purposes. No room for arguments over strait line acceleration when you talking about a sub 60k luxury sedan..

I love James. His comments are hilarious and so accurate.

Fortunately the 2021 version gets rid of that

Thomas is a good actor and good reviewer and good test driver. It's the person in the show that makes the huge difference.

The G70 is a gorgeous car inside & out
That'll get it ass handed to it by the 5.0
Bryan Cooper well ofc you are comparing 500hp to a 400hp... it's about what you want.. not what's faster..
@@SeriusChevy Well the G70 is not a performance focused car like the mustang is
U have good taste
Yea but that 3.3T probably at 8-12 psi, you can tune it to 14-18 probably get away with leaving everything still stock and be right around that mustangs performance.
Mustang for me. I like the fact that I can burn rubber in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears in my 6 speed manual 2018 mustang 5.0. The roar of the mustang reminds me of a lion. And with just a roush cold air kit and VMP tune the throttle response is amazing and it pulls like a freight train. At WOT I am pushed back in my seat. The adrenaline rush is intoxicating. The mustang is a lot of FUN.
I'd go for the Mustang GT just because of it's all naturally aspirated engine.
But there's nothing wrong in picking the twin-turbo and better cabin of the Genesis.
DM 2MW a naturally aspirated engine is more desirable? You must have never owned a turbocharged vehicle.
Kfx Guy They are more reliable, and Ford's 5.0 V8's are mostly reliable. The G70 is reliable, but there's more components that can break in the engine.
Sasuke Uchiha I work at a dealership, half the cars we sell are turbocharged. I’ve seen a few turbos fail, but not once damage or take out an engine. Your reply sounds like an excuse to stay na...which will leave you in the dust compared to turbo cars. Everything fails eventually anyways. Turbo. Na. Supercharged. They all fail.
@@Turbogto_guy I've heard too to turbo's are not reliable and can explode at any moment so I try to stay away from them too, are you sure I can rely on a turbocharged engine? Because that opens the door to a lot more options and thank you
marouan harrath I have a turbo on my car. Does that answer your question? Lol. Btw, anything can fail. Most turbo failures I’ve seen are seal failing and it causing oil burning. Blowing up, nah. Haven’t seen that. I work at a dealership that sells lots of turbo cars too.
I had a 2016 GT with performance package, manual. As a 35+ male, with 2 kids, with traffic, it was a terrible daily commuter. As a weekend car, it was glorious. Getting kids in and out of child seats was terrifying at best. Fuel mileage was so horrific, gassing up every few days. The build quality was questionable with all the panel gaps and issues I had with the seats and breaks. However, out of the box, it sounded like Thor’s hammer, and had ridiculous speed that rivals anything German with wheelbarrows of cash to spare. I say all that to say this.... I got rid of the Mustang after a year and bought an F150 (with the 5.0) because the most important thing right now is ability to get my kids out of the car without feeling like I did a yoga session. But the GT, made me feel like I was 18 again and so, I’m saving up for another Mustang. 🤦♂️😏
Yup...did the same, traded a '13 GT for a more practical ride...I missed that car badly!!! So 5 years later, I bought a brand new '18 GT as a third car. I got the manual transmission...I simply don't care about the hassle of driving it in traffic. Nothing like having 460 HP at your disposal when you drop the clutch!!! I love that car....so much damned fun to drive...It's my 4 wheel Harley...and my daily driver if there is no snow on the ground :)
It is a brilliant car!!! I love that we have more options for quick sporty sedans. However it is not faster than anything German!!! In fact pretty much all the sporty sedans are faster than it. The 340i and 540i would walk away from it. Not to mention the ///M which are so much faster than those it's not even funny. Like I said though, it's still a fun quick car.
Hilarious
@@raymondnewbill2748 Hmm a 2018 10 speed auto with the PP is a sub 4 second car and a 11s quarter mile car off the lot....
Lol! I’m there right now! Own a 16’ gt droptop w/6pd. 2nd most glorious and exhilarating feeling I’ve ever had in a car.
Sadly I’m in the market for a 4dr but I will not give in to bland. I must have some performance and know I’m alive when I hit the throttle. This Genesis is nice but my search continues...any other non-German recommendations?
G70 as a daily driver, and for long-distance trips and poor weather driving. Mustang for sunny weekends and track days.
The Mustang does long drives extremely well. Put exhaust on quiet and it is a quiet and comfortable cruiser. Poor weather is another story.
@@cn2673 i have a 19 Bullitt with regular non-Recaro seats. A 500-mile one-way trip with one rest stop and one refueling stop felt great both on the way there and back. No complaints about the seats from either myself or my wife. Just my $0.02.
@@nsbioy your right non Recaro seats are way better theree actually good leather seats premium
I'll take a ZL1 over any Mustang any day
@@johnbartley1132 more expensive. How much money are you actually planning to spend on a car?
2015 Mustang GT owner (6 speed manual, deep impact blue). Can confirm that driving this car does not get old. My 2015 is not as fast as the newer models, and no where near as fast as the 2020 Shelby GT500, but I absolutely love my GT. I'm not a trained driver but the car is controllable and actually very forgiving if you pay attention to what you're doing. I never get tired of shifting, even in stop & go traffic. I love the experience.
After driving both these cars, I chose the G70 3.3tt. Luxury and Performance in one package. I traded in a 2017 Lexus IS, which I loved but it was the 2.0t. Not even close to the performance the G70 gives. Love the G70 ! It’s Awesome
How much did you get the g70 off sticker price for? Lease or
Buy
6 months later in an 18 GT with the manual, can confirm this car puts a stupid grin on your face leaving work every day! I chose the 265's M+S rated tires on all corners and experienced first snow in Missouri just recently. With a trunk full of wood and full tank of gas, I made it to work with about an inch on the roads. Any more and will need some Blizzaks (which were absolutely fantastic on 16 Camaro SS). The Mustang averaged 29.7mpg highway at 65mph with 3.55 rear end. Dyno results were 434whp/397ft*lb. My biggest complaint is the new twin disc clutch that locks out gears after it gets too warm. By warm, I mean spending an entire Saturday from dawn till dusk driving twisty roads with friends. If you're worried about getting too "squirrelly", rest assured that the new traction management is a very strict nanny. In track mode, you are allowed to slide about 10-15 degrees before it brings you back in. The traction control also kicks in if you are not doing a burnout. You can hold the traction control toggle to disable the nanny by 90%, but it still kicks in with extreme scenarios (1 donut revolution usually triggers power cut). My only gripe is the lack of shifting within legal speeds... The gears are so tall, that 1st alone can hit about 50, 2nd goes to around 80, and 3rd tops out at the end of the quarter mile at 115. If you prefer to bang a lot of gears, Miata with 1:1 6th gear is a much better solution.
Get a G80 with 5.0 V8. Problem solved.
how about we just take the seats out of the Hyundai put them in the Mustang, Win? xD
The G80 5.0 weighs 4,700 pounds, which is roughly 900 pounds more than the Mustang GT, and it makes 420HP/383 lb ft of torque, which is around 40 less HP and torque than the Mustang. The Mustang would have it for lunch.
@@chuckd7423 It really depends... In a short strait line sure....
@@TheRickJames, Not just in a short straight line. That much lighter, more powerful Mustang would pound the G80 even more on a track. The G80 is not built for cornering. It's a boulevard cruiser built for comfort on freeway trips, not for cornering on a track. I've owned older variations of both of these vehicles. I bought a 2005 Mustang GT when the new body style came out. It had a 300 HP 4.6 liter V8 and 5 speed standard transmission. I've long ago got rid of that vehicle, but I still own a 2011 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 Sedan with a 385 HP engine and a 6 speed auto. The Genesis has a considerably more powerful motor than my Mustang had, but because it's around 500 pounds heavier, the Mustang had slightly better straight line acceleration numbers. The lighter, less powerful Mustang would walk all over the Genesis on a track though.
@@guyfrancis4643, Yes, you probably would, and no, it wouldn't mean anything, but I was replying specifically to Michael Lazarus comment which ridiculously insinuated that a 5.0 G80 would be faster than a Mustang GT on a track. If you actually drive a Rolls Royce, I have no idea why you are even in this conversation.
The 2018+ Mustang GT requires a LOT of restraint and driver control, and without smooth inputs to the throttle and brakes it can easily get away from you. In a sense it requires more skill to drive on the ragged edge (track days) but as Thomas said this is precisely what makes it so rewarding.
I don't know about all that but if you like a challenge then why not live in a cabin without any amenities? Drive a car or truck on two wheels? We do here in Dubai. Not a lot of Mustangs here because it's a poor guy's "quick car". But you will be laughed at to content for driving that here. But even a '92 Viper RT-10 gets praise because it's special and a man's vehicle and so beautiful. Also 4 ring R8 V10 is amazing
@@Gizamalukeix 80% of rich people in Dubai drive generic trash like the aventador, like a generic rapper or athlete with no taste and just goes by what other more money than brains people are driving. Dubai people should be the last ones talking.
@@Gizamalukeix that’s nice. I’m excited to buy my next Dubai made V8, Manual trans, RWD, Coupe…oh wait…
In the 90s, I learned to drive in a MKII Supra and a Fox Body Mustang GT. Talk about get away from you when it rains in the Mustang with mid 90s tech tires in New England weather.
OMG thanks for letting me now that rich snobs in Dubai might make fun of me if I drive a Mustang. Saved me there bud.
I have a mustang and 17:15 sums up the reason to buy one perfect.
They are just so much fun to drive very time you start it up, you don't care about any of the negatives. You always have a smile when driving it :)
Alex Tsoronis what year
Smiles per gallon!! 2019 PP1 M-6 here. Definitely a fun car to drive!
Just picked up a 2021 GT and I could not agree more.
The more I see the Genesis G70 the more I like it. Makes so much more sense for 🇨🇦 Canada
I disagree. We have limited summer in Canada. I want to beat the hell out of it. Summer and the car. I do respect your opinion though. It is assuredly a better all year car.
@@SkapeGote It's got 4 wheel drive. Slap some All season super performance tires and go about business every day out side of snow
You'd want a second set of wheels and tires to drive either car in a Canadian winter, I'd still take the Mustang. I've driven a couple of Mustang GT's through Ottawa winters and with the right tires, the car was great.
@@kevindust2712 "Ottawa winters", try driving a mustang in western Canadian winters and you'll spend more time in the ditch than anywhere else.
@@amanasd26 Why do you believe that? AWD helps you accelerate forward, it doesn't help you stop shorter or turn better. With proper tires and the traction and stability control left "on", a Mustang is no more likely to end up in a ditch than any other regular car.
Man... that g70 is a beauty - I love everything about that car. The badge, the lines, the shape- gatdamn it looks amazing.
Right there with u man, im trying to decide if i want to get that as my first car

Your review is missing a drag race
Nah. People who buy these cars rarely drag them.
@@Bill_v1 lol maybe if you buy a Hyundai.....
@@Bill_v1 Lol what???

@@Churboiismiley blasphemy
Great review, but I think you made the choice decision much more difficult than necessary. If you can only have one car and live north of the 40th parallel, you'll be happier year-round in the G70. Although the Mustang is a blast in warm-dry weather, I know from experience, once the temperature drops and it's wet most of the time, driving the mustang becomes an exercise in frustration as it has to be constantly babied. I switched to an Audi S4 2 years ago and am 100% happier for 6 months of the year, and only 10% less happy for the other 6 months. Then bought a used Miata for track days.
Watching this like 3-4 years later… I don’t even want either of these cars. I just really enjoy watching you guys!
I want a G80 5L in my garage next to my GT350. I live in west Texas so I don’t care about 4 wheel drive.
The front of the G70 makes me think of Mazda and Audi. The back makes me think of Infiniti and Mercedes.
All in all, a pretty looking car.
Came to say I actually own both of these cars. The genesis is incredible. Comfy and a ton of fun, my fiance drives it every day. The Mustang is my daily and it is just a riot everywhere you go. Whatever you choose, you can’t go wrong.
They have definitely gave the v6 in rwd what he talking about?
This is an excellent review. Once you established that these vehicles are both quite competent, you concluded (rightly, I believe) that it comes down to what the individual is looking for at this particular stage in their life. I would consider both of these cars, and would frame the dilemma pretty much the way you did. Very intelligent and well-reasoned. Keep up the good work!
Few things they missed on the Mustang GT (Premium) that made it seem to give the Genesis an edge as a daily driver:
- Comfort steering mode and quiet exhaust mode that make it easier to steer and quieter to drive. They make a big difference and quiet mode can even be scheduled for certain times so your neighbors don’t hate you. (See 12:15 for quiet mode on exhaust mode select screen but not mentioned)
- The recaro seats (expensive option) are not heated and cooled but the regular leather seats on the Mustang GT are. The regular leather seats also have lumbar support adjustment.
- Trunk space. The Mustang has a huge trunk and foldable back seats. 13.5 cubic feet vs 10.5 for the Genesis.
- The back seats in the Mustang have just four inches less legroom than the Genesis.
- Finally, they did not mention the snow/rain driving mode but mentioned every other one (track, drag, sport+ see 12:24). So the con of the Mustang in slippery conditions seems not so bad when that mode is an option.
Disclaimer: I love my Mustang GT
"Finally, they did not mention the snow/rain driving mode but mentioned every other one (track, drag, sport+ see 12:24). So the con of the Mustang in slippery conditions seems not so bad when that mode is an option."
I'd really like to hear from some GT owners who have actually used that mode in the snow/rain about how well it really works. Anyone? Please?
@@LanguagesWithAndrew The snow/rain mode increases how much you need to depress the accelerator to move. It prevents you from spinning out since the car has a lot of torque and it could be a problem if you have lead foot. However I never use it in the rain. It would only be useful for me on very slippery snow conditions in an emergency. But if it is that bad out, probably need four wheel drive anyway.
@@LanguagesWithAndrew It might as well not even be there because it made absolutely zero difference in trying to drive in a half inch of snow. Didn't have snow tires at the time, see how it does this winter.
Had a 2012 M6 5.0 Mustang as a daily driver for 6 years. Loved it.... until I moved to the snow. Traded it in after my first winter for a 2018 Audi S4. AWD and a turbo V6 is definitely fun enough for anything I would do on the street so I am happy with my decision a year in, but that 2012 was my 4th Mustang so I am sure I will be buying another one at some point.
I’ve had my G70 3.3 for two years now, and i still look forward to driving it. I absolutely love it…
You guys do so much more interesting comparisons than most.
I'll go with g70. Even though Mustang is fun, you get tired of its compromises in few years..
and you'll get bored of the g70 in a few weeks
What's the compromise to the mustang? I've daily driven a GT for 11 years.
@@txmetalcobra Its reliability, over-styled exterior (Yeah, I like it too! But I don't want to drive everywhere in every occasion), cheap-ass interior, lack of options, slipperiness, thirstiness,,, etc. I once owned Mustang too but never again. It's like pretty and sexy but stupid and wasteful girl. I like to date with her sometimes but I don't want to live with her. If you daily drive Stang for a long time and feel no compromise, I respect that but not most people are like you man.
@@scotthaan1046 Say what you want about the Mustang but Genesis is far from a guarantee of reliability. Not to mention resale value.
@@scotthaan1046 my mustang gt is more fuel economical than my Subaru WRX. Don't think the genesis with TT AWD actually going to be more fuel economical than the mustang. Manufacturer fuel economy figure tend to be so grossly inaccurate. Anyway the engine note of this Hyundai is so uninspiring. If that's your thing then that's fine. You will never get bored of the v8 sound from the mustang.

I’m 34, two kids, I’d still pick the Mustang. My wife has a car if we want to be comfortable
Watching your video and taking your points into consideration I feel just like you stated. These two cars aren't meant to be cross shopped. The G70 is more a car for people looking for Audi, BMW , and Mercedes sedans who want to save a few bucks. The mustang is trying to get the people looking at those companies two door coups who want to save a few bucks.
My choice would be the mustang because I want a car that makes me smile as soon as I start it, so I can forget how sucky my job is lol.
They want a reliable automobile that's not a warranty nightmare after 3years!
@@wavydavy3737 if that was the case they would get a front wheel drive 4 cylinder Honda accord not a 3L turbo, AWD padle shifted Hyundai. The mustang is a Ford but it's NA, manual option and parts are cheap.
What do you do for work? Have you switched jobs yet?
I have not even started to watch the video. But I already want to thank you for this comparison.
I love watching your videos. The humor simplicity and honesty is USP of your channel. I just have 2 recommendations... Please include the specs in the beginning and if possible do a drag race. Now I know it's not easy to find place to drag race in toronto as I live there too but please find an empty road in the back roads and do a drag race.
I own a Camaro SS with the 6-speed manual and I agree that they're awesome and fun, but I also have a solid counter-argument: If you wait for redline to shift, you can only shift from first to second before your speed becomes a serious crime. All other gears are reserved for race tracks or low RPMs. The 10-speed automatics in these cars allow for better acceleration from lower speeds.
Thank you so much for the review, guys! I've had Mustangs all my driving life and I'm considering the same cars here plus a Stinger GT. I feel the same as you do at this point.
I have a stinger gt2 and it's the best car I have ever owned. Between it and the g70 I feel like it's mostly what styling you prefer. The mustang has a whole lot of power though...

Ryan Wingate it won't put a dent in any Mustang sales so yes it is a weird comparison
@@ALEX-sh3tx It also won't put a dent in BMW 3 series sales. Not sure if I've ever seen a more straw man argument.
22:25 is exactly that for me. half the car with double the smiles and experience. going from A to B with not much car is one thing but going from A to B and creating an experience out of it, then go with the more powerful car.
I looked at both of these cars for almost and year and a week ago decided and got the 2021 Genesis G70 Sport 3.3T. I love it!
95% of people don't want to "fight" with their cars to get to work everyday and don't have enough money to have a daily and a toy car. Arguably, I think you guys had the worst colour combo on your G70 (grey on grey on black). I saw a red G70 3.3T Sport driven by a sophisticated looking Asian woman and it's literally the first time in my life where I stopped and I just stared at it as it went by. I work in a very fancy neighborhood in Montreal so I se dozens of $100k+ cars every day but there's something about the G70 that I really like. Maybe it's the fact that it's actually attainable, unlike all those $100k+ cars... Great review btw! Very enjoyable to watch
the gray with dark wheels doesn't do anything for this car. The Red, Blue, or White looks good in the G70 sport. The grey looks better in the non sport with the brighter chrome trim and polished wheels. That' being said I hate the yellow on the mustang, it's a bad shade of yellow, and I hate ANYTHING with stripes.
@@GoofieNewfie Agreed. The hipster part of me wants the G70 Sport in brown, green or dark blue but the rational me wants a non sport, black or dark blue G70 with the brown interior. I don't like dark finishes on the alloys so in my opinion, the 10 spoke alloys available on the Prestige trim would look better on the Sport trims than the 5 spokes. If they came out with a "normal" silver finish on the 5 spokes, it would look so much better with the darker colors
I'm a sucker for blue cars, and I wish we did get the blue one for this review. The grey does look very smart in person though (but a real bitch to keep clean)
@@jamesengelsman9369 Still though, props to you guys for giving us already 3 videos on the G70!
The sport wheels have grown on me, I've researched this car to death, but I agree with prestige wheels are very nice.
Mustang is what you drive to get a girl.
Genesis g70 is what you drive after you marry her.
I married a hot woman. We got her a Fusion. She still rides shotgun in my Mach 1 on road trips to this day :)

Picked up my Mustang last week mines an auto though and I’m in love with it I’ve even been able to fit a 6’2 friend in the back and for a 10=15 minute trip he was absolutely fine so worth it
Great comparison! I've been in that situation before. Ended up not getting the Mustang, it was just too much for a daily driver (went with an E400, and am very happy).
I seriously love you guys. The proximity key sealed the deal. These videos keep getting better. Awesome work! Keep forgetting that Canada only gets the G70 3.3 with AWD only
Yea I’m bummed out. A RWD Manual 3.3T G70 would truly change the game.

Hey Blake,
I drove the 3.3 TT (slight turbo lag) for an entire weekend in Vancouver, Canada 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.
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 but the drive, sportiness, turning radius, that ENGINE...WOW!!!
Cheers from Vancouver, Canada
@@randahlbeach then A. get a G80 if you need a barge for a vehicle and a limo driver on the side. B. Look at BMW and Mercedes for resale and reliability C. Understand how the vehicles systems work
The Mustang GT is absolutely awesome to drive every day. In warm weather, that is. As it gets below 40s, it gets sketchy, but you can still do it just fine. Absolutely get winter tires if you plan to encounter any snow in it. Or park it in the garage for the winter.
I've never contemplated either of these cars... but I really like them both--the stang in the GT350R spec would be my pick if I were to choose. But as a 41 y/o I wanted power and fun without compromise, so I chose an RS5. It's like an amalgamation of these two.
What a great review! Loved it.
You two are the next Clarkson and Hammond IMO. Love your stuff.
Great video, I consider these two different cars totally but I get your point. I personally own a '16 Genesis Coupe R-Spec, which is being traded in for a '19 Mustang GT PP2(on order and being built to my specs soon). The Stinger was in my sights when I was deciding what I wanted next, but, it was always going to be the Mustang, there's just something about the sound, feel that you don't get out of the Stinger, G70.
I got a stinger last year and this summer a catback it going on it. The exhaust note is seriously lacking, it's my biggest gripe about the car.
The coffin comparison, had me laughing like a crazy person. Bothered me a bit how much I was laughing by that. James is a real comedian!!! Thomas is a honest car enthusiast 👍👍. Thank You folks for the humor
I just bought a 2020 Mustang GT in the Twisted orange with the black accent stripe in the manual. This video helped me make up my mind.
I love your explanation on why you should buy the manual instead of the 10-speed in the Mustang. You are 100% right!
Unless you plan on drag racing the Mustang a lot, you can't beat the auto
snozbaries what are you talking about, the autos are faster than the manuals for the gen 3 5.0s
Nah 10r80 where it's at
Hah! Enjoy your slow GT. I hope you feel engaged while you're staring at the 10 speed car's shrinking tail lights.
Glad I found this channel. :)
I bought a 2021 Genesis G70. I absolutely love this car. So fast and so comfortable. Amazing features and luxury. I watched this videos and their other G70 videos before buying one.
You guys are so messed up, i love it. My fave to watch. Plz dont change a thing
That G70 looks good, and I recently sold my luxury sport sedan for a 18 mustang GT. For me the way car’s are trending with electric, small displacement with turbos and all the sensors and such. I wanted an American V8 natural aspirated, rear wheel drive allowing me to really enjoy driving, as in the next 5-10 years not sure if that will still be available (Raptor is now V6TT, Ford GT is V6TT). Good review and I appreciate the comparison as I debated between those categories.
That's exactly why I got my 21 Mustang GT PP1. They might not make these NA V8s anymore
Great review guys!!. I had a Mustang and I decided to trade it for the 2020 G70. Probably I'm just getting old, but so far I'm very please with the change. I can be very comfy in my Genesis on daily bases, and still have fun at any given moment.
Interesting comparison. I bought a 2018 base stock 2.3L 4 cylinder Ecoboost, six speed five months ago. It's got all the good traits of the eight cylinder, it's a little edgy to drive at times and keeps you on your toes and it's such a blast to drive. It's not too loud and gets great gas mileage too, about 29 mpg highway. For a daily driver it's pretty hard to beat. And let's not forget an Ecoboost Mustang has 310 hp and 350 ft/lbs of torque. It breaks the rear end loose just like V-8 and I got mine for $21,500. It's got to be one of the best bang for the buck performance cars you can get. And it just rolls down the highway at 90-100 too it's very smooth. I love it. Tom Rolland
I daily drive my 2017 5.0 mustang in central Alberta and love it.
Great video again, Throttle Beards are killing it. Totally agree that these cars could be crossed shopped, a near empty nester may not need 4 doors, but not sure if they want to go to a full on coupe V8 but know they want a sporty RWD car of some sort.
Hey Blake Swan,
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.

I don't see why reliability concerns you, it's made by the Hyundai/Kia group which is right up there in terms of reliability and is much better than any American or German brand and even some Japanese brands like Nissan. On top of that, you get free maintenance for 5 years or 100 000km and pretty much every one leases these kinds of cars for 4-5 years, so why would you care? Either way, it's not like it will break down after 4-5 years lol
The resale value is big for me but I tend to exit my cars every year or two and my Hyundai Genesis tanked worse than any of the last 10 cars I’ve lease /owned!! It’s a great car ...I rent it out on Turo cos I rarely use it anymore till my lease is up ... and I don’t love Hyundai customer service or dealership service for the price point at all!
12.6 /100kms on the highway? I get below that in the city. Mine does about 8.2 /100 on the highway.
This troll copies and pastes this comment on every major video having to do with Genesis.
Stupid fuck, hes obviously a cybertroll working for Lexus or someshit.
Reliability concerns are Huge? I'm not trying to be a jerk, but what rock did you crawl out from under. Your not just living in the past, your living way, way in the past! Hyundai/Kia and now Genesis are easily one of the most reliable brands on the market. There's a reason they slap the best warranty above all brands on there product!
The quilted leather in the G70 reminds me off my grandmothers old lounge chair from the... before I was born years (and that's a lot farther back in time than I care to admit now).
Neat comparison. Enjoyed it alot.
I have the 2020 GT it’s bad assed!! Hands down it rocks and keeps you alive and moving..such an aggressive beast! It can handle aggressive downshifts and maintains low RPMS even at top speed. I’m sure this car could go at least 175 !! With zero limiter .. Back in the day this speedometer needle would be bouncing..
First time viewer, instant subscribe for me. You two remind me of The Straight Pipes, like their older brothers maybe.
better version of the straight pipes tbh
@@StarForgedTCG After 2 years since the comment, I may have to agree.
@@Lonespark i watched the straight pipes corvette.video the other day and couldnt even finish it, they were pretty much saying "we are better than you" etc and are just coming across as more and more arrogant these days
I would be interested in your thoughts adding the Kia Stinger GT to the mix as it's very similar to the G70 but perhaps 'looks' a little more aggressive but still a fantastic finish. I'm leaning towards the Stinger GT myself..
Great review guys!
"if you like Rushes...Mustang!" Well said !
Great review, I switched from a gen coupe to a G70 and I couldn't be any happier with the car and despite being AWD it really feels RWD even around the city. Also from a consumer view in my opinion, the G70 has a lot more to offer in quality and usability. I just wish that there would be some kind of valved exhaust on the car or have it as on option from the dealership.
Nimasis
Dude what are you 5 Seriously exhaust valve, you know it only put 300 whp. It’s a low to mid level luxury car.
@@992turbos8 If I were 5 I wouldn't be driving... also horsepower and exhaust note have nothing to do with each other so stop saying non sense and talk with some knowledge before calling anyone anything. That being said S4, M340i/440i, C43 all come with performance exhaust and they all have around 320 whp more or less.
@@992turbos8 And since you like to correct people let me tell you what, go look at some dyno sheets before you say your non sense these cars make around 330whp lol
Hopefully the aftermarket exhaust makers will come to the rescue, but have a sneaky suspicion that Genesis has an N like variant up its sleeve......it is Biermann after-all.
Soundnlike ass froma tt v6
I'm living this right now. I've even got Miata RF in the mix.
There's a lot more giggling and smiling in one of these cars than the other. And at the end of the day, that's what I'm looking for.
I would pick the G70 over the Mustang
It's all I need luxury with power at a good price
I was expeting a 0 to 60 drag race or 1/4 mile race
Nice review guys
@@FSAPOJake and g70 is faster than the stinger. So there you have it.
Although the Mustang seems like a angry beast, there performance is about the same 0-60 around 5 sec and the 1/4 around 14 sec.
FSAPO
Dude I have a reputation i can’t be seen around a KIA.
but you can be seen around a Ford? I kid.
@@992turbos8 you are giving the facts of a 2003 mustang, do some research and enlighten us with the 2018 mustang facts.
"if you're someone who turned their homework in on time, this is not the car for you" boom ok that's what I needed to hear. Mustang it is, I guess
i guess i can’t get one then? :(
I kind of been in this situation. I had a Skoda Superb 3,6 VR6 with tons of comfort, 4 wheel drive, 260 horse power, automatic lightning fast dual clutch gearbox and a 5 star safety rating. It just ticked all sensible buttons. 5 months ago I sold it and bought the 2019 Mustang Bullitt. Ohh man... perhaps I will one day again drive the Luxury car, but until then I will just enjoy every single drive with a big smile looking after where they put the speeding traps 😎
The Mustang is a fantastic car . . .for my son. I think that's really the issue I have with it. The lack of premium build materials, the boy racer design . . . it's a blast to drive but ultimately if you're over 35, there are more grown up cars that are just as fast if not faster but are built way better. Yes, they're more expensive, but that's why you make an adult paycheck.
I own the 2018 Mustang GT but dear God that g70 looks amazing inside and out🤘🤘🤘. I have the 401A package and the interior on the g70 is still Legions above mine🤣. But I have 460hp😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
All those emojis
@@jameslopez9661 😆😆😆
@Mike Gee Unless you are considering price to performance ratio.
im a camaro driver with a v8 , manual, and i am serisouly considering the g70 v6. It has seriously sleeper status that is an appealing change of pace for me, and with a tune, i bet it would eat a 5.0…
@Mike Gee
Why, when you can get just as good a car, if not better by buying the G70 and save money also on a fully loaded G70 3.3T. That, and a far superior warranty for added peace of mind.
Thank you for making this. I am currently facing this dilemma as a 22 year old that has done well for himself.
I know this is nitpicky, but what is it with wing badges! Mini, Bentley, Aston Martin, Chrysler, Genesis
They look cool... I guess...
If you are going to daily the Mustang the A10 and Magneride is the way to go.
I am a standard person but if its an 18-19 I would agree..If you buy a used 15-17 get a standard.
Wish I was around y’all two cracking jokes everyday! Y’all are too cool for school!
Regardless what car they're in, they provide vast value of information, they help to understand the nature of the machine and your preference to choose what fit you better. Above all their character are my fav
I thoroughly enjoyed this review. BTW I own a 2019 Orange Fury Metallic Mustang GT.
you forgot, and it puts a smile on your face every single time.
I’ll take the Genesis ALL day long.
What a beautiful countryside! It looks so much like where I grew up in Mercer county PA.
Good thing about me being single and no kids. Get the best of both worlds. Supercharged C7 when i wanna have a loud, brash fun drop top car and my Mercedes E350 for a more luxurious and laid back feel. C7 does the laid back cruiser good as well when not romping on it
The G70 checks all the boxes and does everything well.
