I have an Infiniti M series (which has the exact profile of the G80) and feel that the G90 is a bit bigger than what I need. I rarely have passenger in the back seat anyway.
still too many design and parts from Hyundai days... with introduction of G70 in NA market and new generation G80/90 is due, I will wait for those instead
Lol at all the people getting upset about the ad. It doesn’t require much effort to skip the ad...The world isn’t a soup kitchen either. Bills have to be paid, people.
Yes... But this Schill is spruking a fucking Shitter that can be bought on Ali-Baba for $3, rather than the $300-$500 “Vincero” charges for their pieces of fucking dog shit!
I drive a Genesis and I love it. I've owned many German brands all the comments about depreciation people need to educate themselves. Try returning a 3 year old Mercedes Benz E class to the lot after 3 years and see what you get for it...jus saying.
Get over the Hyundai thing, already. Jesus, nobody refers to Lexus as Toyota, er, Lexus anymore, do they? Genesis became its own brand in 2017 so call it by its proper name please.
@Ryan Lane that's a bunch of dog shit then we should call Infiniti Nissan, Lexus Toyota,Lincoln mercury, Ford,Cadillac ,GM,Chrysler, Dodge and as for BMW and Audi, Mercedes are nothing but taxi cab in the European countries if you wanna be technical about it
The g80 sport is one of the many dream cars I’m interested in. If only the g80 sport improved its fuel economy, lost weight, added reverse autonomous braking, and added folding rear seats, I’d take it in a heartbeat.
I find traditional gauges to be very elegant.. someday, I believe luxury cars will go back to it because it’ll be an exclusive thing that’s pricier to design since technological advancement is so out there these days.
I had a 2012 sonata hybrid for awhile and then settled for a 2015 Genesis ultimate. Great deal, the price has depreciated enough to afford one. Best part about it is that the design really hasn't changed much in comparison to a 2019 and 2015 so it looks definitely new!
These things depreciate soo fast....50% of in 2 years gently used....I get what sofyan is saying but I don't believe this is better that a lexus GS f-sport.

iTzMark671 Genesis have a totally different engineering, developing and design team that specifically work on Genesis vehicles. So how can Hyundai get the praise based on it being the parent company. Do you give Toyota praises for every Lexus vehicle on the road? No you don't.
I have a 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3.8. And all though I get most of all the same great qualities as the 2018 G80 sport, there is some outstanding differences. I test drove the Sport this past summer and that 3.3 twin turbo makes a big difference. I thought my car had plenty of power, and I guess it does. Still I was jealous of how the Sport took off like a rocket compared to mine. What I really liked is the subtle design changes they made to the Sport. Not only is it sexier looking, those changes nke it a lot more aggressive looking. I seen so called glimpses of the new G80 and just from that I have to say I find the 2018 model more appealing. Which is good for me as later this year I will be looking to trade my car in. And the G80 sport will be one of the 3 I'm looking at. The other 2 are the G70 and the Stinger.
If he doesn’t give that laugh when he’s testing the speed you know it sucks. Listen carefully when he talks speed in this video he gives an extra giggle in this one so you know it’s fast.
Good review (as usual). One criticism. You don't need AWD to put power down (see every RWD car that makes plenty of power including but not limited to all the sedan versions of AMG's, M series, and Hellcat's. AWD on this car is for selling to those who want power while still being able to drive in areas with lots of different weather (snow, rain etc...)
The heated steering wheel thing makes sense, if you get the RWD model and you live in an area that gets cold, chances are you won't take it out in the winter otherwise you'd get the AWD model.
In terms of value/equipment for the money, they kinda are up there already. I think the interior materials are where they really need to improve. It's certainly nice to drive the G80, and overall the materials used inside are good. However, there are a few plastics here and there, more so than in the competition. The wood is pretty nice already however.
Wade Higgins I have a g80 htrac an is an amazing car .in the snow is a machine not 1 problem sound system is awesome engine is fast overall love it just whait till they come out with there performance to smoke this German an I love me some M an amg
G80 Sport for 56k that gets 5.2 secconds from 0-60. Weighs 4500LBS. Lexus GS350 Fsport comparably optioned for 58k that gets 5.6 seconds from 0-60. Weighs 3900LBS. very similar straight line performance, Much better handling from Lexus GS Chassis (Proven by all automotive reviews and articles and benchmarks) and 600LBS lighter. And you get Lexus brand prestige with resale value and reliability. I personally take Lexus anyday
I drive the 2016 Genesis (G80). It has 48k miles and is 100% flawless at this point. It has the Tech package with nearly all the available features minus heads up, automatic trunk and it has the polished wood grain instead of open pore grain. I get about 19mpg daily and got 29.9 on the one trip we took. I also have a 2020 Santa Fe Limited 2.2T Quartz color with about eight hundred miles on it. My wife and I both like them about equally. The SUV gets about the same mpg and sits higher so it is easier in traffic to see around. The Santa Fe has video camera display for lane changes which is lacking in the Genesis. All in all - German cars better look out! These are great vehicles.
I really like these new car reviews (wed based). I own 3 motorcycles a Porsche 4s and a few others. I am really confused as to why there seems to be so much emphasis on the zero to 60? It almost seems like if the car can do zero to 60 in four seconds it's a great car. really? If I am a passenger in a high performance car with a buddy and all he or she does is burn the tires it's like what. Quit thinking non sport car derived vehicles aka sedans and the like need to be near 4 second cars to be competitive. Please consider the purpose of the vehicle and its intended marketplace. I've got 4 vehicles that can break the 5 second mark. I use that possibility maybe twice a year. Do we really need F150.s to break the 5 sec barrier to be considered "fun".
cant wait for the G70, I believe it'll be based off the KIA Stinger platform, or a higher end Sonata with the 3.3T engine and Genesis exterior stylings.
Yeah burn out in f____ genesis it’s here now big engine with all Infiniti goodies drive like one looks like one window leather and wheels ahh and guess what the g name are taken too
I've driven one of these AWDs in the snow and it's the best in the snow of anything of driven, including quattro. Admittedly, I've never really stressed X-drive in the snow but you can either have it just claw along feeling nice and safe or do glorious drifts for miles.
🔥🔥🔥I thought I wanted the acura tlx a-spec but I think in two years once I decide to get rid of my 2011 tl which I love to death I think I might go with the g80 sport
This is so heavy 600LBS heavier then Lexus GS350 f sport. only 0.3 faster then GS350 for 0-60. GS350 f sport is 58k this car 56k? I buy Lexus which has proven chassis by every reviews and handles very well. Resale value will be double Gensis in 2 years
So, have you actually driven the 5.0? Not seeing a video of it on your channel. I noticed you said it didn't the need the V8, but man... it is a smooth-driving car with that engine. I've heard it's similarly smooth with the V6, but the V8 does provide plenty of acceleration and is really quiet. (I rented a G80 5.0 for a few days using Turo)
How some things change... I have been driving the car for 3 weeks now and it would appear the previous owner screwed up the transmission and caused other issues under the hood. The dealership I purchased from invoked the 2 month / 2000 mile purchase warranty which over rides my factory warranty. I really don't understand that... Instead of fixing the car which looks like over $10k in repairs they are giving me a refund. I have argued this is not what I want to the dealer and to Hyundai/Genesis corporate and gotten no ware. :(
This car looks is just amazing. I currently have a BMW 2013 528i with only 35,000 miles, but I have been so tempted to swap to a G80 in white. But I agree, I lease might be the best way to take upon the depreciation value.
quality review as usual..when do you think you can get hand on with a G70?? maybe even a comparison with the stinger..I'm kind of torn between the raw sportiness of the stinger and of course the hatch..and the luxury of the g70..and now they have the nerve to make a regal in a hatch too? ??
TVinmyEye lol yea ik. Personally wouldn't buy a coupe since it's aftermarket is so small, and reliability is questionable. Then again, seeing a few friends with them doing donuts and burnouts says otherwise lol
MaxSpeed my last car was the 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T, and it was a blast to drive, no issues whatsoever. But it was kinda heavy though. If you’re looking to mod than yeah, The GC does have a limited aftermarket.
TVinmyEye for sure man. No doubt tho I'm sure it's still a fun car as you said! I'm looking at getting an m4, and an s2k as a project car. When i think of mods, I think of changing everything from front to rear, making my car completely my own. I think the s2k would be perfect for that
I love your reviews, but I disagree about not needing for AWD. The G80 when in Sport mode is just like Quattro in that it drives all 4 wheels all the time. I have driven FWD, RWD and AWD, SW-AWD and Quattro and I love the way Quattro feels under acceleration as you don't feel like you are being pushed or pulled the car just goes.
Thank you for always for great review. This we test drove 2019 Genesis G80, see what has changed and how it drive. th-cam.com/video/IZNTXHrgME4/w-d-xo.html
I love mine. The awd is great in the snow. But the customer service in Canada is pretty terrible. Had some major engine problems which Hyundai Canada completely botched and the car was in over 20 times
I love this car. I've been following this car since it first hit market. Definitely, going to be my first car, lol. I don't care, I'm getting this car, lol.
Wait until you cruise on the highway at triple digit speed. This car is better than other German cars in the class. Just drive it and you’ll understand
I've had 3 Hyundai/Kia products over the last 6 yrs (2 Sonata 2.0T's and currently Kia Optima SXT). Had 2 major issues covered under warranty with one (2011). After that, no major problems with powertrains. I'd rather spend 57K for a polar ice G80 sport than anything offered new in the class. Simply because of the predicted and perceived reliability from my experience, and the value. It's sexy as Hell (to me), safe, fast enough, and roomy (I'm 6'3, 250lbs). However, I'm in no need of a car, so I can wait a year to avoid the depreciation hit all cars suffer from when new. It makes money sense. I'm anxious to get one so I can experience the upgrade in space, handling, and ride quality compared to my Optima's bumpy and low sitting ride. Thanks for the reviews Sofyan! I love your format.
Nice review but that music.... A car for 40+ but music for 12 and under. As for the car, this is not a bad thing but it looks basically identical to our new Sonata. One trend I hope would die is the exposed look carbon fibre. The built in sat nav we never use since Waze works with Android Auto. The knob is nice indeed but I'd still use the steering wheel controls. Is it worth almost 60k compared to a loaded Sonata? ...maybe. Nice car nerveless.
Yes another outstanding review, Sofyan. And loved the outtake burnout at the end. Excellent presentation style and great insights as always. I definitely want to test drive one. Cheers!
I'ts got nothing off the line....I thought he was brake boosting it at first. There is a huge turbo lag. That sucks. There's nothing worse then needing instant power and your car has to spool up before you can pass of pull out into traffic.
I have a 2016 Lexus GS 350 and it doesn't come close to this car. I see a G80 or G90 in my future. I didn't like the video because of all the complaints.
I really like this car! Sat in one at a recent car show - right next to an E-class, and it compared very nicely (especially on price). One thing I can't get over, however is the switchgear (especially on the steering wheel). It's EXACTLY the same white-text on black plastic as in my girlfriend's 2017 Hyundai Elantra. Really....? C'mon guys...
Just wanna give a shoutout to Sofyan. The reviews have always been great but this video was especially good because in the past my only complaint was that you would talk so fast and sometimes trip over your own words, but this time around you spoke slower and sounded much more confident. The little things matter! Good job dude.
Awesome review, Sofyan! When I reviewed the G80 Sport a couple months ago I was absolutely astonished by how much it offered as STANDARD EQUIPMENT. Consequently, what you see is pretty much what you get... With the exception of minor options (AWD/RWD or Color Choices). The amount of standard safety technology on the G80 Sport is pretty praiseworthy, as well. By Genesis packaging the G80 Sport is this manner, it makes this vehicle undeniably a pretty solid player in its class. Personally, I find the G80 Sport to be the ideal sedan for those looking for sleek styling, a comfortable interior, and "affordable" sporty/luxury attributes. Fuel economy is pretty low (due to the absence of any 'Auto Start/Stop System', 'Cylinder Deactivation System' and the overall heavier weight). Believe it or not, the weight difference between the G80 Sport and the G90 with the same 3.3T engine is only about 100lbs!!! With all that said, you did a great job displaying the performance and features of the 2018 G80 Sport. From one auto enthusiast to another, keep it up, Sofyan!
DriveAndBeDriven I completely agree with you. Recently test drove to G80 and also the Volvo S 90 T6. I actually preferred to G 80 over the S 90. I thought the S 90 was louder on the highway, the engine noise was loud and rough and the Sensus infotainment was extremely confusing and dangerous to use while driving. It’s too bad the g80 sport doesn’t have good lease deals like its competitors.
+Archangel 28 it looks nothing like those cars. nothing. lexus had an identity crisis up until three years ago. this car was designed in 2015 as a hyundai thats why. its being redesigned next year. they are unique to their own. all car companies start out by benchmarking when making premium cars.
+Archangel 28 you knowvnothing about cars. every car professional knows about lexus. all japaneese cars went through it. the genesis looks nothing like the sonata. the sonata copied the fluidic sculpture 2.0 that was first implemented by the genesis sedan. secondly all japaneese cars and even german cars copy other manufacturers. the fluidic sculpture was copied by mercedes heavily after the 2011 sonata came out. and the genesis sedan uses better materials than other cars it cpmpetes with. from the high strength steel down to the electrical diodes. its not 2005 anymore.
@@McBeakerson Audi is literally the only car my friend (who is a master mechanic) said NEVER buy lol. His dad who used to work for Audi ALSO said never buy Audi, they are pieces of shit. So your opinion means nothing
Hi Sofyan, I love your reviews and need some advice. I am looking between G80 3.8 or ES350. Performance, handling, reliability, comfort, quieter cabin and ride quality are the main aspects I like to know between those. Thanks in advance.
vry nice awesome car!! but dude no remote start???? wtf is this bs!!! i have a 2015 SHO... come with remote start n more goodies!!! but like for real come on!! for that year n price tag im expecting remote start on a FUCKING KEY
true story fellasss, im not trynn talk good or show off my car!! but my car is older n cost less, has remote start, remote windows down n up, shit like that, but this car has none of them!!
Go back and watch your video from 2013 for the Taurus SHO. Then flash forward 5 years to this video. You'll find a lot of complaints about the SHO are now the norm and accepted. (large, heavy, turbo) Interesting that the SHO you reviewed has some content that isn't available on this G80 at almost $10k more. Of course, the current Taurus platform is nearly 10 years old.
Best to buy used. A return lease that is two years old would be the way to go. I wouldn't buy one new it loses too much value after the first year. A Lease would be ok too.
Car looks very well done! except dunno if I wanna lay that much money for a hyundai still, also you'll look very Kim Jung Un driving this thing around.
I've enjoyed all of your reviews this year. Hopefully you are planning on a top 5 best and worst cars of the year video again. I really liked the one you did last year
I love this car however the dumbest thing is you have to pay for the Blue Link subscription to use the remote start. I could very well have read it wrong but it's absurd to have to pay more to use a feature of the car that's built in already.
I like you and your reviews in general though. Keep up the good work. Just an over priced mess of a vehicle. 3 years it'll be worth half price. You should mention terrible resale value when reviewing.
The Genesis cars are like the 3 bears. The G70 is too small. The G90 is too expensive. But the G80 is juuuuust right.
iSlandeRon the G90 competes against other large sedans like the Cadillac CT6 and Lincoln Continental, compared to those cars its a great deal
The 90 drives like a boat. It's really a great limo car with those luxurious back seats.
I have an Infiniti M series (which has the exact profile of the G80) and feel that the G90 is a bit bigger than what I need. I rarely have passenger in the back seat anyway.

How some things change... I have been driving the car for 3 weeks now and it would appear the previous owner screwed up the transmission and caused other issues under the hood. The dealership I purchased from invoked the 2 month / 2000 mile purchase warranty which over rides my factory warranty. I really don't understand that... Instead of fixing the car which looks like over $10k in repairs they are giving me a refund. I have argued this is not what I want to the dealer and to Hyundai/Genesis corporate and gotten no ware. :(
@@Woody21369 that sucks...
Love the front end of this car. More aggressive than Audi.
This car is exceptional beautiful design awesome interior very nice Hyundai... this my brand now
4k miles and the stitching on the drivers seat is coming off, yikes thats poor quality.
This car looks is just amazing. I currently have a BMW 2013 528i with only 35,000 miles, but I have been so tempted to swap to a G80 in white. But I agree, I lease might be the best way to take upon the depreciation value.
quality review as usual..when do you think you can get hand on with a G70?? maybe even a comparison with the stinger..I'm kind of torn between the raw sportiness of the stinger and of course the hatch..and the luxury of the g70..and now they have the nerve to make a regal in a hatch too? ??
I still prefer the genesis coupe for looks. BUT the new g80s are amazing inside!
MaxSpeed the Genesis Coupe was replaced by the G70. But yeah the G80 looks gorgeous.
TVinmyEye lol yea ik. Personally wouldn't buy a coupe since it's aftermarket is so small, and reliability is questionable. Then again, seeing a few friends with them doing donuts and burnouts says otherwise lol
MaxSpeed my last car was the 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T, and it was a blast to drive, no issues whatsoever. But it was kinda heavy though. If you’re looking to mod than yeah, The GC does have a limited aftermarket.
TVinmyEye for sure man. No doubt tho I'm sure it's still a fun car as you said!
I'm looking at getting an m4, and an s2k as a project car. When i think of mods, I think of changing everything from front to rear, making my car completely my own. I think the s2k would be perfect for that
only let down that it doesn't have cooled rear seats
I love your reviews, but I disagree about not needing for AWD. The G80 when in Sport mode is just like Quattro in that it drives all 4 wheels all the time. I have driven FWD, RWD and AWD, SW-AWD and Quattro and I love the way Quattro feels under acceleration as you don't feel like you are being pushed or pulled the car just goes.
not a huge fan of the exterior aside from the grille and the wheels but the interior looks very very nice
Your cat needs to be included in more videos.
search it hyumdai kia sudden accelration
Great review! What would you recommend this Genesis G80 sport or an Infiniti Q50 red sport?
Dude, more vids with the cat please. I'm not some crazy cat lover, but your kitty is like 10/10 cute.
Thank you for always for great review. This we test drove 2019 Genesis G80, see what has changed and how it drive. th-cam.com/video/IZNTXHrgME4/w-d-xo.html
I applaud you for owning a black cat. Too many people overlook them because of stupid superstitions. Props to you, man!
I love mine. The awd is great in the snow. But the customer service in Canada is pretty terrible. Had some major engine problems which Hyundai Canada completely botched and the car was in over 20 times
I love this car. I've been following this car since it first hit market. Definitely, going to be my first car, lol. I don't care, I'm getting this car, lol.
I can’t stop looking up this carrrrrr 😬😬
Me too! - Will start hunting next spring!
I live in Cleveland I’ll take the all wheel drive 🙂 but this model is nice 👍🏿
Wait until you cruise on the highway at triple digit speed. This car is better than other German cars in the class. Just drive it and you’ll understand
I've had 3 Hyundai/Kia products over the last 6 yrs (2 Sonata 2.0T's and currently Kia Optima SXT). Had 2 major issues covered under warranty with one (2011). After that, no major problems with powertrains. I'd rather spend 57K for a polar ice G80 sport than anything offered new in the class. Simply because of the predicted and perceived reliability from my experience, and the value. It's sexy as Hell (to me), safe, fast enough, and roomy (I'm 6'3, 250lbs). However, I'm in no need of a car, so I can wait a year to avoid the depreciation hit all cars suffer from when new. It makes money sense. I'm anxious to get one so I can experience the upgrade in space, handling, and ride quality compared to my Optima's bumpy and low sitting ride. Thanks for the reviews Sofyan! I love your format.

khalfani321 Did you read my full comment?
are you getting the g80?
Shamel Seldon If I get another car it would be a G80. However, I'm leaning toward a midsize SUV next time. I need the space and ride height.
Nice review but that music.... A car for 40+ but music for 12 and under. As for the car, this is not a bad thing but it looks basically identical to our new Sonata. One trend I hope would die is the exposed look carbon fibre. The built in sat nav we never use since Waze works with Android Auto. The knob is nice indeed but I'd still use the steering wheel controls. Is it worth almost 60k compared to a loaded Sonata? ...maybe. Nice car nerveless.
I REALLY like this car! If I was on the market for a luxury sedan, I would definitely think about this one because you get so much for your money!!

Yes another outstanding review, Sofyan. And loved the outtake burnout at the end. Excellent presentation style and great insights as always. I definitely want to test drive one. Cheers!
I'ts got nothing off the line....I thought he was brake boosting it at first. There is a huge turbo lag. That sucks. There's nothing worse then needing instant power and your car has to spool up before you can pass of pull out into traffic.
God forbid people make a living off making videos... damn people quit complaining about the watch add just skip past if you must.
I have a 2016 Lexus GS 350 and it doesn't come close to this car. I see a G80 or G90 in my future.
I didn't like the video because of all the complaints.
This really does look fantastic, they are on their way with truly competing with Lexus and the Germans.
I really like this car! Sat in one at a recent car show - right next to an E-class, and it compared very nicely (especially on price). One thing I can't get over, however is the switchgear (especially on the steering wheel). It's EXACTLY the same white-text on black plastic as in my girlfriend's 2017 Hyundai Elantra. Really....? C'mon guys...
Just wanna give a shoutout to Sofyan. The reviews have always been great but this video was especially good because in the past my only complaint was that you would talk so fast and sometimes trip over your own words, but this time around you spoke slower and sounded much more confident. The little things matter! Good job dude.
Uf sin palabras
Awesome review, Sofyan! When I reviewed the G80 Sport a couple months ago I was absolutely astonished by how much it offered as STANDARD EQUIPMENT. Consequently, what you see is pretty much what you get... With the exception of minor options (AWD/RWD or Color Choices). The amount of standard safety technology on the G80 Sport is pretty praiseworthy, as well. By Genesis packaging the G80 Sport is this manner, it makes this vehicle undeniably a pretty solid player in its class.
Personally, I find the G80 Sport to be the ideal sedan for those looking for sleek styling, a comfortable interior, and "affordable" sporty/luxury attributes.
Fuel economy is pretty low (due to the absence of any 'Auto Start/Stop System', 'Cylinder Deactivation System' and the overall heavier weight). Believe it or not, the weight difference between the G80 Sport and the G90 with the same 3.3T engine is only about 100lbs!!!
With all that said, you did a great job displaying the performance and features of the 2018 G80 Sport. From one auto enthusiast to another, keep it up, Sofyan!
DriveAndBeDriven I completely agree with you. Recently test drove to G80 and also the Volvo S 90 T6. I actually preferred to G 80 over the S 90. I thought the S 90 was louder on the highway, the engine noise was loud and rough and the Sensus infotainment was extremely confusing and dangerous to use while driving.
It’s too bad the g80 sport doesn’t have good lease deals like its competitors.
+Archangel 28 lol the mazda 6 cant touch this car. its a 2015 design and still kills the mazda
+Archangel 28 it looks nothing like those cars. nothing. lexus had an identity crisis up until three years ago. this car was designed in 2015 as a hyundai thats why. its being redesigned next year. they are unique to their own. all car companies start out by benchmarking when making premium cars.
+Archangel 28 this isnt supposed to compete with the M6. the M6 is over 100 k.
+Archangel 28 you knowvnothing about cars. every car professional knows about lexus. all japaneese cars went through it. the genesis looks nothing like the sonata. the sonata copied the fluidic sculpture 2.0 that was first implemented by the genesis sedan. secondly all japaneese cars and even german cars copy other manufacturers. the fluidic sculpture was copied by mercedes heavily after the 2011 sonata came out. and the genesis sedan uses better materials than other cars it cpmpetes with. from the high strength steel down to the electrical diodes. its not 2005 anymore.
Japanese Cars and Korean Cars is so much better and best design ever!!!!
Prabash Paul better than American cars imo
There poop.........
japanese cars is more cool than corean
Korean cars are pretty shit. I know many peopl have Hyundai and kia and its a pain in the ass unreliable.
@@McBeakerson Audi is literally the only car my friend (who is a master mechanic) said NEVER buy lol. His dad who used to work for Audi ALSO said never buy Audi, they are pieces of shit. So your opinion means nothing
This car looks great in red.
Hi Sofyan, I love your reviews and need some advice. I am looking between G80 3.8 or ES350.
Performance, handling, reliability, comfort, quieter cabin and ride quality are the
main aspects I like to know between those. Thanks in advance.
Which did you choose? And how do you like it?
Love this car! It's amazing how well the Genesis brand is doing with it being a little over 2 years old, check out the awards it's been receiving
I have been able to drive the G80, and it is quite nice inside. Have not driven the 3.3t or the 5.0. I have driven the 3.8

Yea I really dont care about watches
Bosco Han Good look man

vry nice awesome car!! but dude no remote start???? wtf is this bs!!! i have a 2015 SHO... come with remote start n more goodies!!! but like for real come on!! for that year n price tag im expecting remote start on a FUCKING KEY
true story fellasss, im not trynn talk good or show off my car!! but my car is older n cost less, has remote start, remote windows down n up, shit like that, but this car has none of them!!
Watch plug on a car review lol
Go back and watch your video from 2013 for the Taurus SHO. Then flash forward 5 years to this video. You'll find a lot of complaints about the SHO are now the norm and accepted. (large, heavy, turbo) Interesting that the SHO you reviewed has some content that isn't available on this G80 at almost $10k more. Of course, the current Taurus platform is nearly 10 years old.
I wish they would have the same sport fascia available for the 5.0 Ultimate trim...
Best to buy used. A return lease that is two years old would be the way to go. I wouldn't buy one new it loses too much value after the first year. A Lease would be ok too.
interesting brand, genesis
Car looks very well done! except dunno if I wanna lay that much money for a hyundai still, also you'll look very Kim Jung Un driving this thing around.
I've enjoyed all of your reviews this year. Hopefully you are planning on a top 5 best and worst cars of the year video again. I really liked the one you did last year
I hate these long useless advertisements
I ain't mad. I'm a traditional gauge kinda dude
Me too
I love this car however the dumbest thing is you have to pay for the Blue Link subscription to use the remote start. I could very well have read it wrong but it's absurd to have to pay more to use a feature of the car that's built in already.
Great Review. I really am impressed by this car. All things considered this powertrain should mean tons of fun in the upcoming G70.
I like you and your reviews in general though. Keep up the good work. Just an over priced mess of a vehicle. 3 years it'll be worth half price. You should mention terrible resale value when reviewing.

Agreed. It's fine for structure, not decoration.
this looks good. Hyundai has all the resources to take over.
