I love this car so much. I bought my 2012 4.6 at 31,000 miles for $18,000 and it has been worth every penny. Extremely reliable and plenty of power when you need it. As long as you take care of it, it will take care of you and easily last 200k+ miles.
18k? You got burned.
2011 4.6 (named Sega) here to say yessss! She's a baddie! Sleek, has more features than most people I know with newer vehicles, and oh... you wanna try to act all cool in your 4 CYL Charger? LET'S GO 😂
@DeathhAngel1 when a used sonata with half of the options were going for 20k or more at the time? Oh and look at the market now lmao still have it and still going at 102k, no issues so I'd have to disagree. Not to mention it's paid off. Nice try though :)
I got mine 2012 4.6 with around 50k miles for only 5k
11:02 here’s what you came for
Thanks!
Definitely appreciate that.
Thanks, Bro!
Mannnnnn yes you the real mvp ‼️‼️‼️
How the video should have started
This review is perfectly well timed. I'm actually thinking about getting one. Great value for a very underrated luxury car!!!
Shoot for a 5.0rspec! May only day 30-40 more hp but the gearing makes it a ton faster!
+1 for 5.0 RSpec >>>> 4.6
Hyundai can't be luxury tho
poy Mu worked for Hyundai a salesman for a few months and I can tell you the genesis lineup by Hyundai is very underrated. The G80/90 and soon G70 are very good lineup especially with the sport 3.3tt
@@tleoipl37 They are not underrated. 3.3t is best they got. Hyundai has been always a generation behind top luxury brands. Thing about luxury cars is that you have to own it for long time to appreciate what car has got for you. Genesis doesn't use leather on seat bottom where seat control switches are. No leather on underside of dashboard where your knee and feet goes. No Fancy electronic sunroof where it can change shade by itself. You really get what you pay for.
Remember this car is from 2012... of course qualities have changed 7 years later. This car was damn good compared to competition in 2012 that's for sure👍
I’ve had my 5.0 RSpec for 4 years and still love it. If you can look past the badge you can get so much car for the money. Also, they sound really good with a muffler delete.
i do want the 5.0 r spec. how reliable has it been?
She’s been good to me. 110k+ miles and very minimal issues and I drive it pretty hard too.
Xtalgic _ I have a 2012 r spec mine just hit 100,000 haven’t had any issues. Have you changed your transmission fluid yet?
@@dreyusalexander718 Yes, i took it to the dealer considering its a sealed transmission.
Xtalgic _ that’s one thing I hate 🤦🏽♂️ but thanks for the reply bro!
Matt I thought you sold out to the auto makers about time you did some older car reviews I really enjoyed those everyone is not going out and buy the latest so it’s good to see how some of these cars held up over the years
I think its just views wise and the effort it takes to edit and record a car and all the other stuff with the owner were a new car is always guaranteed views
Just bought my own 2012 4.6!
And 7 years later they have stepped up their games with g70,g80,g90 and even stinger . Unbelievable how Koreans have come this far !
Stinger is a kia dumbass
@@youngdanny5860 Bruh he said how Koreans have stepped up their game. Kia is Korean my guy, learn to read. 🤦🏽♂️
@@ultra-1320 no shit , my brother has a Kia and I have the Genesis. He was talking about Hyundai’s and added the stinger like if it was a Hyundai lol when it isn’t
This thing is amazing with the v8. The start to all of the great new Genesis models!
But V8 is barely faster than other V6 competitors. Horribly slow for a V8.
@@poymu4929 I see you have taken the time to reply to every positive comment regarding the Genesis, and replying in a negative manner. It's pretty clear where your perspective lies regarding this topic. Thanks for sharing.
@@MaxSpeedMike lol
I still have my 2012 4.6.
114,000 miles later she still is pretty nice and never an issue other than a drunk chick breaking my sunroof switch & the power mirrors are shit.
The suspension was WAY to soft from day 1, but I love this car and almost don't wan't to let it go.
I cut off the mufflers long ago and put 18" flex pipe angled out & down at the ground. She reminds me of driving an old Pontiac 455 Bonneville or Catalina.
When I can force myself to get rid of her, she will be replaced with a G70 sport.
Interiors have taken the biggest leap overall in the last few years
But still not upto competition
@@poymu4929 I meant interiors overall, across the idustry. While yes, they still dont match up, which I would argue they do with the latest genesis g70, they also don't match up in price.
@@mitchellsteindler Yes I'm agreeing with you they got better, but Still they are not up there with quality of materials and attention to details in interior. And They are still copying other companies.
now I want my mom to sell her accord and finally get something cool this is the answer 😂
*loses 15mpg
Mitchell Steindler *Gains 170bhp*
still a beautiful Korean luxury sedan and great review p.s I never clicked on a video so fast
Lol me neither. I'm currently in the market for this or an Equus
Nate Haji I’m buying the 3.8 today with 33k in it!!!
They're so rare these days and I honestly won't mind owning one ❤
This will be my next car since g80 is out of my price range
I used to own a 2004 lincoln ls with 280 hp (v8) and boy was it powerful! I can't imagine having over 300 horses! I never actually timed it, but I did try counting and it did 0 to 60 in 6 seconds!
I had a 2006 Lincoln LS V8. Some dude with a hot rod Chevy p/u tried to pull me but that didn't happen. A 2010 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 is my new daily and it would out pull my sweet LS
What a beautiful car. Me looking at this video 5 years later and owning 3.3T G70. I still think this car looks much better. Just such a good looking car
I am so happy to find your review on the Genesis. I'm really not into big cars but i saw one for sale that peaked my interest. I haven't made a decision on the type of vehicle, whether an SUV, coupe, sedan, or convertible. But man, the Genesis is nice. More luxury than I'm used to, I like sportier vehicles with 5 or 6 speed manual transmissions. Maybe it's time i make a transition and narrow my search. Thanks for sharing. I'm kinda digging the Genesis even more since watching your review. Thank you 😊❤️💯..
Did you ever get one?
11:11 Trying to explain the acceleration without having the cops knocking on your door.
I have a 2009 Genesis V8. It is interesting to see the differences and similarities between this one and mine. Also a lot of things you said I can relate too with mine.
@@danieltaylor2220 on the stock wheels and tires yes...I bumped up to a 19 with lower profile tires and it helped a lot... Ride is much stiffer though obviously
I love my 2010 4.6 Genesis, a very reliable luxury car
1:45 look in the background... something drove by!
The new one lol
Come drive my 2013 5.0 RSpec Genesis
Same thing lol. It's Hyundai. Slowest V8 Sedan out there. floaty ride
@@poymu4929 and you drive what?
@@danrobinson9459 Sorry I drive more expensive car than your Hyundai
@@poymu4929 then I'm sure you have no problem saying what you do drive.
@@danrobinson9459 dont get trolled by internet assholes. Let the little princess life in her dreamworld
Fun fact. If you need to use the keyboard on the screen it can register touch !
I remember seeing this in Inception
You never see these anywhere.I wonder what they sound with a more open exhaust and if they can be a drift- taxi :) The Genesis coupe gets some attention here and there ( old Hggard stuff) but this boat will be a forgotten bargain...
I owned an 09 4.6. very reliable, especially considering it was a first model year vehicle. fantastic lexicon sound system; completely ruined all other factory systems for me. for the money, very hard to beat that car.
I found a mint condition one (an 09 4.6) with 138,000 miles. They're asking about $8,000 for it. Will it be a reliable car for years to come? Also, what's the gas mileage like? I did notice the power tilt/telescoping wheel switch is finicky, which I looked up and seems to be an issue with them. Other than that, I love the car!
@@evanganske9240 While I can't speak to the reliability of an unknown car over the internet, I can say that the one I owned wasn't without flaws/quirks; but still I'd own again in a heartbeat. I put a borla exhaust on mine and it sounded awesome (think I have a clip in my vids). Only problem was lots of drone, but that was easily solved by manually shifting the auto (holding a slightly higher rpm than the super low one it wanted to chug around in all the time). I don't recall the mpg being that bad at all (20's), even with me constantly revving it. IMO, 8k is too much for an 09 w/ 130k. While I think the car is worth that money all day, no one else does (KBB, dealers on trade-in, etc). You could likely find a newer 5.0 in the same ballpark. Ultimately, it's a great car with an absurd amount of useful features...rides like an old school cadillac (comfy...not sporty). It's very much a real-world car vs a magazine car (realistic features and usability vs 0-60 & track times)..
What i havent seen people compare or even realize is the simijarities to bently. The big steering wheel the woodgrane the wings for the emblem. This is a baby gt mixed with a Hyundai
Vehicle is gorgeous but the wheels could go I would of used the factory wheels or the R.Spec wheels., Love the Hyundai Genesis brand.
Holy cow! When I saw Marshall Twp on the GPS, it caught my attention. But then during the drive, I see it's the same one near me. I live minutes from there.
love this car have had it since 2012! runs great. anyone know tricks to getting that knob on console that controls radio stations, NAV etc to work -- even had mine replaced and it just won't "catch" to change the display features...also anyone's dashboard cracking? and any tips for that? other than that it's great. drive in good health!
I am the owner of that same 2012 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 with retrofitted split power rear seat recliners and both front cooling and heating front seats directly from another Non-import Korea domestic Genesis BH sedan. If they have an engine of 5.0 L MPI version then this will be as Genesis BH500.
I had one just do a Muffler delete and sounds like a mustang.
Did you notice a drop in power and/or fuel economy with a muffler delete? Also, how bad was drone? My Maxima with a muffler delete has considerably bad drone at 50mph, but I turn up the stereo and it doesn't bother me much. I also like the noise of my engine, anyways.
Would you recommend a Muffler delete over a resonater delete? Strictly talking quality of sound
Nate Haji mid muffler delete don’t do muffler delete
Evan Ganske mpg went down a lot since it sounds so good
Evan Ganske there will be drone any speed above 60
This car has the same engine like the Crown Victoria. I just now figured that out
don't insult the genesis by comparing the 4.6 ford engine to it.
@@clarkspent8384 nah they are both great and reliable engines
Absolute nonsense
Same displacement, but as a R-Spec owner and former P71/GM/Town Car/Continental Mark VIII owner, you couldn't be more far off.
The modular 4.6 and Tau v8 are two completely different animals
My dad has this car its a 10 out of 10
How’s the sound system does it have Bluetooth audio?
@@luism8612It most likely does
Different and I like it!
Good first car?
I’d say yes!
BMW-E90-HQ sweet!
BMW-E90-HQ But I live in the Midwest, roads are bad and it snows a lot! Is it okay in the snow?
I’d be careful I’m the snow with it. Basically what I tell people is any car can be alright in the snow and when it ices it doesn’t matter what wheel drive you have they’re all death traps then.
@@VoxGav-bd9rc The car did really well in the snow with Blizzak Tires and 100 pounds of cat liter in the trunk.
Why aren’t the motors more documented?
you put your words together very well lmaoo
Not a fan of the wheels. Perhaps would be better if they were painted the same color as body. I’d prefer a nonpainted wheel. Looks like the hubcaps flew off. Around a corner.
Adaptive cruise impressive in 2012? Infiniti has had it since ‘03...
Yeah I had adaptive cruise in my ‘02 infiniti qx4
I have one and wished they kept this design. The new design looks like an Audi wanna be. Old design was a Mercedes, Lexus GS, Infiniti 45 and BMW mixture.
Thumbs up if you noticed the Sega on the Genesis haha Classic
Hey my buddies car haha. I got a edition 30 GLI I'd love for you to review if interested.
This is the type of car you bought if you couldn’t afford an GS, A6, E350 or 535i.
The new Genesis sedan is much better. This first gen just never screamed luxury to me.
Says guy in a wagon 😂🤔
Dre Taylor Yeah, says the guy with a 400whp hatchback. 👍
A rspec is cheaper and faster then all those cars lol
@@vr6gls genesis has more then 400 hp clown
Dre Taylor Do you know what power to weight means? A Genesis weights a crap ton more than my car and makes similar power.
Stop magazine racing dude. LOL!!
Really interested in these but are they reliable?
Surprisingly yes they really truly are. Just take care of them as you would any other car. You dont have to worry like driving a bmw or Mercedes
Amazing car love my 2009 4.6 super reliable , they spent 500.000.000 yes 1/2 a billion to develop this car.
The 2012 have been known to burn a lot of oil and the 8 speed transmission has been known to cause slipping. If I were you I’d go for the 2013-2014 or 2009-2011 those are all reliable years
Debating between a 12 5.0 rspec & a 09 4.6. Leaning towards the 4.6 for reliability
R-Spec is worth it.
Is it just as reliable?
Thank for the video
I thought all 2012s came with a 5.0 engine?
2012 they still had the 4.6 as a carryover option. 2013-14 it was only the 3.8 or 5.0 engines.
@@smellsuperb1 Okay
Power steering pump went out on mine. $2600 part.
Nice car but the Ricer wheels looking goofy as phuc
Can’t believe nobody mentioned the horrendous panel gap on the hood. Probably didn’t come that way from the factory.
Adaptive cruise control was offered on my 2007 ES350
It was called Dynamic radar cruise control
E350 is trash 😂😂 compared to genesis
So many mercedes influences in the design
Ikr, people are hating BMW for doing similar tail light design on the new 3 series to Lexus RC, but when I saw the thumbnail I honestly thought this was a Maybach or an S-Class.
Exactly. Hyundai has been copying Mercedes and Audi lately. Copying is what they are good at
@Michael J Another Hyundai fanboy bragging about designers and engineers Hyundai hired lol. Look we are enthusiasts who know these kind of details. but fact is most people don't. And corporations own intellectual properties that their employees create. So whoever Hyundai hired, the design stays with Audi or whatever brand.
@Michael J BTW did you see ANY Audi fan boys bragging about that designer? Why do only Hyundai fanboys go nuts with this? I didn't see ANY BMW fanboys talking about Albert, now he is famous because poor Hyundai fanboys got something to brag about
@Michael J Sorry I missed your point. ok sure but I have seen TONS of Hyundai fanboys who always talk about designers and engineers from other companies. What's so big deal about that lol. Why did Audi and BMW guys didn't talk anything about them? Why Hyundai guys making big deal out of it?
Could you try find a Lexus GS460 to review. They are rare and seems to be good value.
Does anyone know how long the V8 lasts compared to the V6?
Both are extremely reliable
How much is a used car like this in the US ? I guess the residual value is terrible compared to German brands.Here in France we only have the Coupe. A 2012 model with V6 300hp is under 15 k€....
Boutta buy a 2011 for 3800
What’s your monthly payment if you don’t mind me asking?
I have an 09 and I love it but does anyone know what the lip spoiler on this car is?
I know this, if I'm gonna buy a used car I want it to previously have had a 100,000 mile warranty assuring meticulous service records!
Sure would look a lot better with the stock rims!
Does it have Bluetooth??
What’s the name of the color of paint?
Twilight Blue Pearl I think
Come review my BUGEYE impreza 2.5RS!
Easy fall asleep on a 12 Genesis
For people interested in getting one of these used, get a 09-11 4.6 with the 6 speed zf transmission. It's way better than the hyundai 8 speed in reliability and performance
What about the 2012 5.0 rspec? In a dilemma between that & a 09 4.6
@triplea6174 if you want better handling and speed, the rspec is better. The 4.6 should be more reliable, but that's just my opinion
Now in a dilemma between a 01 gs430 vs 11 4.6 hehe
Sadly we dont have these in germany
Yes but with BMW what else do you need lol?
@@BMWE90HQ reliability and price
Please review cars like the mazdaspeed6, neon srt4, maybe 05-09 impala ss or Grand Prix gxp!! Older cars are awesome
What gas do you recommend for this?
Car runs on regular but you can boost it slightly by using premium. (Unlike most cars, Hyundai says you can use either)
damn I miss the old intro
Look at that Mercedes Benz grill Hyundai used to copy back then.
You gotta do the 5.0 r spec
Not much difference. It's just floaty Sluggish V8.
poy Mu No it’s fast as hell. I don’t know wtf you’re talking about
Ls460 is way cleaner
إثبات وجود للعرب
Nerd review! Next up Ford GT 350, bad on gas and doesnt hold much groceries!
With that said good review!
I heard these are unreliable..is that true?Especially the 09-11
So far it has been very reliable at almost 62k miles. The only thing that has had issue was a front parking sensor that was covered under warranty.
Nah, never heard that from my coworkers they have 2011 3.8 v6, a 2012 4.6 and the 2013 5.0v8. Anywhere from 110k-190k+ miles. All of them having no major issues just maintenence and a sensor here or there. Great cars for the money
Yeah It's Hyundai, This is one of their first V8 they ever made. Expect some issues
My 2010 Genesis sedan 4.6 has 112 000 miles on it.
Repairs included 2 wheel bearings, electric parking brake, parking sensor,
No problems engine, transmission, alternator, air conditioner etc.
With snow tires it does just fine in Canadian winter driving.
I pull my 18 ft fishing boat no problem.
Gas mileage. is amazing ...close to 30 on USA gallon on a trip.
The stereo sounds great.
The adaptive cruise control is wonderful on a trip .
I like the cooled drivers seat too.
My car is 8 years old but I still am very proud of it.
@@maxncathy44 112k miles aren't that much though
Am I the only one who thinks those wheels are awful?
My 07 Infiniti M35 has lane departure and adaptive cruise control. And this car is 5 years later than mine. I don't find those features impressive for this genesis. In fact adaptive cruise control had been available on lexus LS430 and Infiniti Q45 even earlier than 05. And the Germans probably had it too.
Customer Service yeah I’m sure the 06 Acura RL had the ACC as well. Ik for a fact 07 but pretty sure 06 too since it was the same new design.
Owner should have detailed it.
lets play a game... take a hit of weed everytime he says genesis
Wow these have dated real quick
Nice no name wal mart tires🤣🤣
Owner changed the rear badging.
Same thing I thought... 🤔
And the steering wheel badge
Common mod for Genesis owners
😍😍😍
Too much chrome like its 2004...
I hate the black wheels. Dash needs wood.
Mercedes copycat
Didn't age well at all. Sorry
Fake Benz!
Serkan Ister it's not trying to be a benz dick head
@@JuanCruz901 Right! And guarantee it'll never be a broke Benz that is for sure 💯
Aka poor man's Benz 🤣🤣😂
could you please review a saab 9-5 aero?
There aren't any left
They all blew up.
The 4.6 is a beast.
Do the intake & exhaust & when one of your wheel speed sensors go & you have no traction or stability controtability- she's like driving a 1970 Bonneville with a 455. You better be going straight when you floor it, cause she's squirrelly!
Lot of people don’t know how to drive this car ,remember the Dodge Viper many people got kill
The engine bay looked cleaner than the seats and the seat belt.
Your car must be pristine huh ?
My dad has a loaded 2012 3.8 it hauls ass for a car so large
Kevin Hendley I totally agree that v6 is quick as fuck
333hp for the V6
@@erich5795 290hp for v6
My bro has one with the 4.6 with 120k miles and it looks a feels brand new inside and out
“WhatUpsEveryBodySabaruaWrxFanHereEvenThoughIboughtAMustang!” -Under one second
Compare this to newer turbo powered cars this car can take regular gasoline so lesser cost to fill up the gas. LSD comes standard. Makes sense financially if you are not looking to "invest" money in a car.
Wow mid 5s? That’s impressive for that big car, that’s what my 2011 335 does
The best Hyundai ever made. The 4.6L was the most reliable.
Even against the 5.0?
Matt is not impressed at 11:02... his pants are safe... for now.
It's slow car. Slowest V8 sedan ever. That's called Hyundai technology
@Trevon Adams Prove me it's dumbest. Tell me which V8 powered Sedan is slower than this. Your comment without no supporting fact tells me you don't know anything
@@poymu4929 Dude...it's literally HALF the cost of the sedans in its market. Maybe 10-15% less power? It's a beast for a fair price!
@@christiansolis8358 Exactly. Hyundai is all about you get what you pay for.
poy Mu faster than the charger/challenger 5.7 Hemi and those are “muscle” cars. 2012 Genesis 4.6 (385 hp) 2018 charger/challenger 5.7 (370hp)
