hey guys so right now I drive a LEXUS ls430. I really like it but it is getting old and expensive so I am looking to get a new car soon. I don't like how the new Lexus feel like computers and have all this sleek sci fi looking thing going on. I tried the G80 electric and the g70 electric and it felt not as luxurious, but at least a little nicer and also quiet. I went on google and it looks like the gv70 is going away and the g80 EV version is already gone? :((( I'm sad. I'm going to get a new car in the next 2-3 years and I want something NOT German (too expensive to fix) and electric it looks like I have NO options

One trend I've noticed when reading automobile reviews is how rarely reviewers talk about the mundane aspects of ownership.

Let me explain.

I've owned my 2025 Genesis G90 for just over a year now. It's not a press car that I had for a few days or a week—it's my car. I bought it with my own hard-earned money, it's my daily driver, and it's also the car I've trusted for long road trips, including a drive from North Carolina all the way to North Dakota.

In other words, I live with this car every single day.

That's a very different experience from spending a week with a vehicle and then publishing a review.

One topic that seems to come up frequently in reviews is the G90's mix of physical buttons and screens. Some reviewers like it, while others find it confusing or think there are too many menus to navigate for things like climate settings, seat functions, or door controls.

Here's my experience after more than a year of ownership: most of those concerns simply disappear.

The climate controls are physical buttons. They're easy to locate, easy to use, and honestly, after a few days of ownership, they become almost irrelevant because I rarely touch them. I set the temperature to 76°F, and that's pretty much where it stays. The system does its job, and I don't think about it again.

The same applies to many of the G90's luxury features.

When I first bought the car, I spent a little time learning what everything did and adjusting settings to match my preferences. Once that was done, I simply forgot about them because the car remembers my choices and quietly works in the background.

I don't find myself hunting through screens, searching for functions, or taking my eyes off the road trying to remember where something is located. In fact, many features operate automatically.

One of my favorites is the lumbar massage function that activates every hour. On a long drive, it's fantastic. It's one of those small touches that doesn't generate headlines in reviews, but after several hours behind the wheel, you realize just how thoughtful it is.

These are the kinds of ownership experiences that are difficult to capture in a traditional automotive review.

And to be clear, I'm not criticizing reviewers. Most journalists only have access to a vehicle for a week at most, and that's simply not enough time to understand how a car integrates into everyday life. During that period, they're trying to evaluate performance, technology, comfort, fuel economy, and dozens of other factors.

Living with a vehicle for a year is different.

You begin to appreciate the details. You understand why certain design decisions were made. You notice the features that quietly make ownership easier and more enjoyable without demanding your attention every day.

For me, that's one of the biggest strengths of the Genesis G90. It's a car that rewards long-term ownership. Once you've personalized it, many of its features simply fade into the background and allow you to enjoy the drive.

I hope this perspective helps anyone considering a Genesis G90. There are plenty of reviews out there that can tell you how fast it accelerates, how large the screens are, or how many buttons it has. But after more than a year of ownership, I've found that the real luxury is how effortlessly the car fits into your life.

I test drove a GV80 the other day and it the steering felt quite heavy. The test drive was majorly on the highway but in city when I took few turns, it felt like turning around a truck… Current GV80 owners, does the car feel “heavy” while driving? I currently drive a Lexus RX which is very “light” when turning corners

’m trying to decide between two used Genesis G70s and would like advice from owners/mechanics.

Option 1:
2022 Genesis G70 2.0T AWD
18,000 miles
$30,000
Not CPO
Engine: 2.0T
Assuming clean title/no accidents
Lower miles, but older and weaker engine

Option 2:
2025 Genesis G70 2.5T Standard AWD
40,400 miles
$26,621
Not CPO
Engine: 2.5T

CARFAX shows 1 owner, no accidents/damage reported, no title issues, warranty active, no recalls reported
Original MSRP around $46k
Recent service includes oil/filter change, tires replaced, brake system checked, emissions inspection, and maintenance inspection

My main priorities are:
Long-term reliability
Lower maintenance/repair costs
Overall ownership experience
Gas mileage
Engine durability: 2022 2.0T vs 2025 2.5T
Resale value

I know the 2025 has the better engine and is cheaper/newer, but the 40k miles worry me. The 2022 has much lower miles, but it’s older, costs more, and has the older 2.0T engine.
For people who own or work on these cars:
Which one would you buy and why?
Would the 2025 be worth it at $26.6k, or is the 2022 low-mile car the safer long-term buy?

So I got the Genesis firmware update today (July 3, 2026), and my car (2023 GV60) and iPhone won’t connect anymore. No CarPlay. No connection through the car’s “Media” menu. I turned the car and phone off and on several times. But no dice. Any ideas? Thanks.

I do not know if this is the proper sub to discuss deales - if not, please let me know where I should go for that. If it is OK, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the dealers in Central Florida. We have a few, including

Genesis of North Orlando (Winter Park),

Headquarter Genesis (Sanford, FL),

Jenkins Genesis of Leesburg (Leesburg),

Genesis of Central Florida (Clermont) and

Genesis of Daytona Beach.

The dealers in Winter Park (Genesis of North Orlando) and Sanford, FL (Headquarters Genesis) are closest to me but the others would do for sales. I would prefer Winter Park and Sanford for service. I would prefer a separate and stand alone Genesis dealer and I believe the Winter Park store has it's own building but is on the same property as the Hyundai Dealer so I am not sure how much overlap there is between the two offices.

So does anyone have any experience with any of these dealerships for either sales or service or both? Any thoughts on your experiences, good or bad, with any of these dealers would be appreciated. And last, if this needs to go somewhere else, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Purchased a new 2026 G70 3.3T Sport Prestige AWD this past Tues night. Drove to work on Wed. On the way home, I started getting engine overheated warnings, at ~80 total miles. The service center stated that Genesis is advising they need to tear-down the engine and that it'll likely be 4-5 business days before they know anything.

They've provided a loaner, but how patient should I be with or should I start inquiring with the GM to see if he's willing to unwind the sale? My state has no regulated cooling off period.

Loved the interior on this car, dark blue seats orange seat belts & an interior that just made sense functionally. Kinda bummed about the giant screen, but I love the physical controls & how it looks. I wish that the body roll might be a little less, but for the money this is a great car.

Today, less than 1,000 miles, I look down and the entire screen was black! Car kept going, which is good but still… scary
