2009-2014 Hyundai Genesis Buyers Guide | 6 Year Ownership *150,000+ Miles*

I have a 2011 genesis 3.8 sedan and I’m noticing that a lot of other genesis shift at around 500-700 rpms. I just bought mine a month ago or so and it shifts at 200-300 rpms, I can’t find any other genesis that shifts like mine. It runs perfect I just find it weird. Does anyone else’s genesis shift at low rpms like mine ?

Damn son that was a great review!

Just bought a 2010 genesis 4.6 with 101k miles for 7,995 from a dealership I absolutely love the car it’s definitely fast Great video for new buyers

Can you tell us about the fuel economy ? mpg city and highway combined ?

I had the 2009 first edition of the Genesis v8. Never had a problem. Sadly it is totaled. I loved it

There is'nt alot about the 3.8 sedan motors, I have a built 2010 that is very fast. also the toughest car i have ever owned. Super easy to work on as well. I love mine.

What is the problem with ur TPMS light in the cluster.? It is lit, ( solid.!) What is the cause.?

I just got a 2013 genesis 3.8, so far a couple small issues. 1) Driver side heater seat doesn’t work, 2) starting to get trans slip when changing gears (I have extended warranty that should cover it, 3) I do notice the issue with the paint (Small chips on front and back bumper). Other than that, I’m enjoying the drive so far. I will continue to come back and check out the channel for other tips and tricks on the vehicle.

I have a 2012 3.8 sedan .. my rear tires are wasting so fast... It's ridiculous. I do drive highway alot.. but not even my Elantra has to change tires like this.. anyone else have this problem??

Your video is very informative, Great Job, I’m looking at buying a 2009 Genesis 3.8 with only 39,000 miles for $11,500 I believe it’s a good deal, I will be looking for some the problems you covered though, what do you think?

Is the warranty, if it hasn't expired yet, transferable to subsequent owners?

I just bought my rspec and NOBODY has done a in depth long term review other than yourself

Just picked up a 2013 5.0 R-spec. 89k miles.. what should be done at 90k miles service? Has intake and exhaust.

Very good review !
Many thanks,
Cheers,

2011 3.8 v6 300k. No issues but the alternator only doing 12.6 on freeway. 14.2 at idle.

Price drop and sometimes it just takes people a while to come around to Hyundai, family been owning them since 99’ saw genesis prototype at 06’ international car show, probably my next whip

I bought my 12 Rspec almost 3 years ago, after discovering this channel. I've been so happy with the car and I'm glad I bought it when I did! I've since seen others go for double what I paid for mine. Thanks for all the great content my man!

Would this apply to the equus?

I just got my 3.8 genesis sedan and love it only problem with it I have is my usb port doesn’t work or doesn’t support my iPhone i dont know but I love the car and I’m looking forward to mod it too

OK. Check this out. Got gifted a 2009 Kia borego LX V6 3.8 with the lambda II MPI V6 same exact motor allegedly and same exact transmission in the awd drive Genesis Sedan. Need help with anything and everything. Even kia dealer sent me away and i can't find reference parts either. No defeatist I just need some answers

This is really a good video. Straight talk with no bull.

I’m selling mine 2012 Genesis Sedan 4.6 Black $14,000 133,000 miles in Orange County

I have a black on black 3.8L 2013 sedan with only 75,000 miles on it. I bought the car new. To date I have only had to change a headlight control module at an independent garage (not cheap). I changed the front brake pads myself at 72,000 miles. There was still about 10,000 miles left on the old pads though. I did not change out the rotors. Next time I’ll upgrade to drilled and slotted rotors. I changed the tires at 73,000 miles. I put 255/50 VR 18’s on the front and 255/55 VR 18’s on the rear. I needed the car raised a little to avoid bent wheels (had 2) on Atlanta’s crappy streets/roads. Great upgrade. I changed the exhaust from CATS back. Replaced the middle resonator with an “X” pipe and replaced the mufflers with Magnaflow mufflers. Great sound and horsepower improvement! i added a “Sprint Booster” to improve throttle response - best add on for $300 investment! I put a leather steering wheel cover on and it made the steering wheel “fatter” which I like for driving comfort. I put on a cheap “oil catch can” to help stop any oil vapors from being sucked in through the intake valves. I think all GDI engines would benefit from that addition. I added a K&N engine air cleaner at about 25,000 miles. I just cleaned and recharged it a couple days ago - they only need attention about every 50,000 miles. I have only used full synthetic oil in the car. I only change the oil and filter about every 10,000 miles or so. Am I happy with the car? Now that I have made all the changes I wanted, YOU BET I’M HAPPY WITH IT! It’s finally just what I intended for the car to make it MINE! Oh, and it LOVES to be driven at fast highway speeds! What a great road car!

I bought an 09 Genesis this year with 115K miles. The electrical system (seats, wipers, stereo) only works when it wants to. The very worst thing about my car though is that the stereo system sometimes makes a VERY LOUD scrambling noise, at random times, weather the stereo is on or off. This noise is so loud and pierces my ear drums. I have a 3 year old autistic son with sensitivity to sound, and when the scrambling noise happens, he cries unconsolably. I have not found a resolution to this problem and cant afford to take it to get checked out at this time. Has anyone else experienced this loud scrambling noise, and found a resolution?

I put 6 liters without the filter, is this the correct number of liters

How many liters of oil do you need to change?

Have a 2013 hyundai genesis 3.8 sedan.! Got an evap small leak code.! Had a smoke test done, & nothing found.! I changed the purge valve, & got a check engine light again a few days after, with the same code, ( very small evap leak.) How do i solve this problem.? The ( check engine light is very discomforting.!)

Thanks for the info. Was looking at a used 2012 Genesis 3.8 today at the dealership. Has 133,000 k miles on it, and price was 9k. What do you think of it, and anything I should check before using it??

I have a 2011 and it is like 154k miles I have had for like 3 years but my navigation screen is stuck on the caution screen any recommendations

There’s a car like this available and it’s a one owner and a 2009 4.6 v8 with 147k miles for 7,495$$ is that a good or bad deal ? I’m gonna do a test drive but what sort of things do you think I should check and look out for during the test?

Thanks for the info, very informative. I own a 2009 Genesis and it has 106,000 miles and runs great. The only thing is that the sunroof doesn’t work, not too worried because the AC gets super cold.

i have a 2009 genesis sedan 3.8. with 50k miles in 2015. 1st off o love this car so much and its so cheap to run.i love mine has no hyundai sign snywhere besides the steer wheel. people alwaya think its a Bentley i lovr it lol. Off the lot i loved it and even as a rear drive, it was beyond great esp in snow and rain. i had small issues w radio sometimes wouldn't turn on until i restarted it. also the tire pressure sensor in my one tire is always claiming its low psi. now it sctually only holds to 20 psi and i haaz e to pump my cars tire daily. annoying. guess i neef to replacce sensor. but most important and i need help bad and advice quick. at 100k miles my ESC doesnt work at all in snow or rain. the esc light blinks and i have no traction and fish tail at any second. . spinning out going straight on a highway going 30 mph . please help no one has any answers bout the esc traction control

I have a 2013 i love it but it still burns oil. Yes the Alternator did go out. Dealer change it for 800

Very helpful!! Looking into a 2015 5.0 with very low miles and I'd imagine some of these things have been fixed from one generation to the next but still good to know what to look for when buying one

Thank you brother man, and suspension problems

got mine 2012 4.6 73k and everything works great except the driver side rear seat doesn't recline. the sunroof made a noise but sunroof grease fixed it

Right now got a 2000 tundra awesome truck but I’m looking to make a switch to a 4 door sedan

You drive with the TPMS light on, never replaced the sensors that are only good for 6-8 years??

I have 4.6 2011. It's true the door lock and the rear cam ..also heard about transmission alot. And the paint

Aye bro was wondering if you knew how to play the bluetooth music

Any advice on purchasing a 2010 V6 Sedan with 133k miles? Wise choice or look for another with lower mileage? Thank you.

Thanks a lot for inform and teaching about Genesis, like to know what Oil you recommended to my next change.

I really might get one I never really thought about it till I seen one earlier and thought about modding it

Any tips or trick… I picked one up 2010 Genisis 4.6 V8 115k miles!!

Now my power steering isn’t working… still holds liquid, and it does not sqeek

You forgot about how it sounds

Thanks for the video. My 2015 has 70,000KM (43400 Miles) so no problems yet except one of the sensors on the front bumper is acting up. I put a small square of black tape over it. The car doesn't have auto braking so no problem. I did change the front brake pads at 63000KM (37800). My only issue is with the battery. Its not a sealed unit so once a year ( in November). I check the level in each cell and top up with distilled water. It did overflow and dripped on to the driveway so my bad.

Currently on the market for a 5.0 rspec, i have a 2011 BK1 Genesis Coupe and decided i want to upgrade XD

Going to get a 2013 5.0 soon. 70k miles. Thanks for the review

Hey man I’ve been lookin into the 2015 5.0 models and I’m really close to buying it, I know you have the 2012 but do you know anything about how reliable the 2015s are with around 100k miles ?
