Buddy here at work has a Genesis G80 that he and his wife bought less than a year ago. They love it and just got it back from a company that blacked it all out.

I have never ridden in it since his wife drives it and his two cars are stick shift which she cannot drive (Mistu Evo and an old Honda Civic Si).

DC300 The Genesis is a really nice machine.

My SIL has one that now has all kinds of mods done to it.
It's a sporty machine for sure

    Well if he's going to actually check out a Hyundai, he might as well take a look at a Kia Stinger...

      I really like that car a lot! The problem is that is just came out so any used ones have hardly any miles and are not quite in my price range. I've seen a few base models in my price range with just a few thousand miles, but nothing local and they don't have some features it would be nice to get.

      I've actually thought about waiting another year so I could get a nice used Stinger lol.

        My wife has an 11 year old Hyundai Santa Fe with 250,000 miles. She wants a new one.

          I wish my wife was out there driving almost 25,000 miles per year.....I'd have a lot more free time to golf! Get her a car!

              Spartan I have a base model 2015 Sonata that is a surprisingly wonderful car. I thought about suggesting the Genesis as a luxury option in this thread too, but it seemed like the tastes were for the German stuff.

              Even a loaded late model Sonata with the "Limited" trim and the 2.0L turbo engine could be a great option for an inexpensive luxury-type vehicle.

              I used to fancy high end cars, but now I can't imagine wanting more than a Sonata with a few more upgrades than mine. It's a great car - especially for the price.

                  That's where a used Lexus comes in. ;-)

                    KCee She can get one whenever she wants. I'm surpised it's taken this long.

                      ZWExton I confess I keep thinking about just getting a loaded Accord or Mazda 6. The Sonata is really nice too. I don't even need that nice a car, but I do like the Euro and Japanese luxury brands.

                      I really wanted to get AWD this time and if I do that rules out the sedans I just mentioned. I've gotten by with winter tires on my TL, but it's never been a good car in the snow. I bought my wife a 2015 Acura MDX last year and the plan was that when I snowed I would drive her car since she works from home. But that fell apart as she always has some errand to run and doesn't want me using her car.

                          KCee have u test drove the Mazda 6? Curious your thoughts on it. I like it and Camry for more economical sedans with solid ratings, but I don't think I could ever go away from a hatch. My 08 Vibe keeps trucking, even though I'm currently bumper less!

                              Infiniti line is pretty good, with lots of luxury and tech.
                              My 2008 EX35 is perfect for me, and my clubs
                              lol

                                      ode ..infiniti=Nissan gourmet line

                                      This I believe.

                                      Not a fan of Mazda whatsoever.

                                        Kcee, you now realize it was a HUGE mistake to ask us for car-buying advice, yes? You have 87 posts with suggestions and you're no closer to a decision and possibly twice as confused. It's ponderous! 😉

                                        KCee Virtually every Subaru has full-time AWD. I have owned an Outback, Impreza and now drive a Crosstrek (I have dogs so I need a hatchback) and they have all been awesome vehicles that last forever. If you want an AWD sedan you should definitely check on the Legacy - frankly if you want an AWD "anything" you should go to a Subaru dealer.

                                            I like Mercedes, BMW, and Audi but the price combined with repair cost has always kept me away. There is a reason they can be bought fairly cheaply after they're out of warranty. If you must, a lease is probably the best way to go.
