2012 Genesis 5.0 R-Spec Long Term Ownership Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 гру 2018
- You guys finally get the video you've most collectively requested. Sorry it took so long. HERE IT IS! I go through EVERYTHING regarding my ownership experience with my particular Genesis 5.0. I go through costs, all the maintenance Ive done, I go through things I LOVE/HATE, and everything in between. I also address the infamous oil consumption issues with these cars and tell/show you everything that has broken in my years of owning this Genesis. I also slip in a Muscle Car Show edit just to break up the dialogue a bit because there is A LOT of information in this video.
Leave me any question below I answer all of them!
And also, Happy New Year, Here's to 2019!!

When He Said "Future Genesis Owners" I Felt That
You’re welcome 😉
Big Larry same here bro same here
I just bought a 2011 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE NY GENESIS! I wanted 2015 5.0 r spec buuuuut this shall do for now 🙂
💆♀️
I bought my 2015 Genesis 5.0 in 2021 because of this man right here. And I do NOT regret it.
Love these real ownership videos. Much more insightful than a typical car review, thank you.
Completely agree and you’re welcome!

I have a 2014 5.0 R-spec that I bought a year ago with 30k miles for $20k. Love this car. I wish there were more after market stuff for it but aside from that it's the best car I've owned. Great video. Keep up the good work =)
Thanks homie! And enjoy that heated steering wheel only the ‘14s got ;) I’m jealous
Hey guys, thanks for the info. I am very close to buying a 13 R spec. Is this a reliable car? Honestly that’s more important than anything to me. Also, are you really getting over 23 mpg ? Premium only ?
@@benkemp5621 It's as reliable as any other car in its class. I bought my 2014 Rspec 5.0 in January of 2018 with 30k miles on it. I also purchased an extended warranty up to 5 years/100k miles. The first two years I had no issues. I replaced the rims, tires, rotors (cross drilled and slotted), Magnaflow Cat Back exhaust and modified the air intake box to fit a generic 4" K&N filter (model# RE-0870 ). About 6 months ago the Genesis started stalling and stranded me twice. After 5 trips to the dealership replacing the Fuel pump, crankshaft positioning sensor, oil regulator, fuel injector (#6 on the drivers side) and finally the entire ECM (the codes it was throwing were erratic which explained the faulty ECM unit) which btw, was covered under the factory warranty. A total of over $6k worth of warranty work. Now she is running like a beast. I'm sharing this not to scare you out of buying your 2013 model, just to advise you that with any high performance luxury car purchase, you should buy an extended warranty. It pretty much pays for itself with only a few trips to the dealership. The car is well built and I am totally satisfied with my purchase. And yes, always premium gas. I average 20mpg. Hope that helps =)
Thank you for the honest review. Is sad the car manufacturers are making unreliable cars that look good only.
Great video/edit and really insightful information. I'm looking at a silver R-spec right now and this video was perfect and timely. Thank you brother!
Best genesis videos, great content. Appreciate you diving into everything. I’m gonna do few of services on mine myself for sure now. 💪🏽
I've got a 2012 R-Spec that looks the same as yours. Bought at 40K miles, now has 104K. I've not had any of the electrical issues, all my electronics work perfectly. Only repair so far has been a new alternator right around the 100K mark. I've been pretty happy with it for the last 4 years.
I've had my 2013 5.0 rspec since June of 2018 and boy do I love it. Hate thay theres no aftermarket for it, and the trans gets weird sometimes, but it's been great so far. Even my buddy who had a 2017 392 Charger loves my genesis. Got mine for 18k with 48k on it.
Nice Congrats on your purchase friend! And ya it sucks about the aftermarket but hey if thats the biggest thing wrong with these cars we should be grateful haha
I appreciate this man, just saw this and it got me going again about getting the 5.0. Subscribed
Xtalgic. Big fan down in the RALEIGH, NC area. You are so spot on with your comment on all the “brand snobs” shitting on Hyundai products. I spent almost a year looking for a V8 sedan to replace another badass sleeper, my 2009 Infiniti G37 (was just too small for me). I had very strict financial restrictions I put on myself ($18,000) and had no real sense of urgency as I loved my G37. I tend to like cars that many folks don’t appreciate, but in the end I narrowed the pool to 2011-13 Infiniti M56S (badass 420HP car that gets no love either), 2009 Mercedes E63 AMG, 2009-2011 Audi A8, and the 2012-204 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 RSpec. The Lexus LS 460 was also in the running but it lacked the “sport” characteristics of the others. It came down to a 2011 Infiniti M56S (96,000 miles) and the 2012 Hyundai Genesis R-Spec that we’re actually at sister car dealerships (both were listed in the $15,000 range). I was ready to pull the trigger on the M, but the price on the RSpec dropped $1000 on a Saturday and the Hyundai only had 67,000 miles and was a one owner. That was the deciding factor and I sped over to the dealer, took it for a ride, didn’t even haggle as I had a $250 test drive credit they offered and walked out the door having paid only $14,250 plus taxes and fees!!!!! I had driven E63 AMGs, many A8s, and the M56S (extremely rare vehicle) and the RSpec was by far the best all around performer and a brake replacement didn’t cost $5000 (like the E63😂😂). Let the haters hate while we just blow by them on their way to the dealership for another expensive fix!!!
White 2013 Genesis 5.0L R Spec , I've owned for 2 years now, no issues, Best sedan I've owned and almost the best overall car I've owned. Sporty, Looks Awesome and drives like its on fire. Appreciate all your videos. I hope to get my exhaust sounding like yours.
@xtalgic I just bought a 13 5.0 rspec due to your channel and I absolutely love it... thanks for the videos!!!
Liked and subscribed... even took your advice. Got a 14 Rspec last week! Love it.
Congrats!
Dope vid again homieee. Got a lot of my genesis buddies to follow you. So far this page is the only credible one I've come across with these cars. Keep it up! 2k19 should be dope!!
Appreciate it man! Thank you for the support! It's only going to get better in 2019, FACT.
No problem bro. And that's ATV frame you could put a glass table top on it maybe 🤔🧐
As always... dope editing. Hope to see even more subs this year! Glad to see the Genny in good shape.
Thankyouuuu Always appreciated
I just got a 09 4.6 and I absolutely love it!!!
Congratulations!
congrat, I'm near 200k on my 4.6l...probaly will give it to my father so he doesnt drive a POS ford truck around...
Same. I’ve had mine about 7 months. Got it with 67,000 and it’s been awesome.
trilingualkid 200k wow
Effen awesome !!! Thanks man very helpful
You just made the best review video on this model yet !!
Hey thanks man!! Appreciate that✌️
Xtalgic.... Just bought a 5.0/12 Genny..... so pumped. Thanks for all your work. Jeff, Toronto
Jeffrey Poulin My pleasure Jeff! Enjoy it!!
Nice video! Thumbs up. From the technical side of things, great video editing and cutting. Personally I think you woulda been just fine without the cut scenes of grinding ATV frame or the car wash scene. But hey, maybe other people liked those parts. The muscle car show scene was good! Thanks for putting the time in to make this.
I mean I liked it.. so there’s that. And thanks!
Wow!!!! Very useful information. I like this compilation. Thank you.
Glad to have came across your videos. I do have a 3.8 but its the best damn car I've ever owned.
I'm looking for my next car and I want something powerful, reliable and fun. I think the 2013/2014 year of your car is the way I will go. Thanks for sharing your advice!
No worries! I’m posting a buyers guide for these cars next week so keep an eye out! Lots of good info very in depth.
Agreed with you about the paint. Mine has rock chips from travelling on the Turnpike to and from Fort Lauderdale, so I can relate.
But in all, great video as usual, very informative. Thanks for that heads-up on replacing the transmission fluid.
Wish you, your channel, and all the other subs, a very prosperous 2019.
Cheers!
Thank you Clarke! Massive support from you as usual. Salud friend!
@@Xtalgic thanks brother
You’re the man bro, I have ‘09 4.6 but I’m now looking for a 2013 5.0 r-spec
Nawww YOURE the man 😎
I love you!! An open and honest review! I've been looking at these. Have a b6 passat right now but I think a genesis will be coming soon! Thank you!! 💜
You’re welcome Tierra!
Please don’t tell me your buying a genesis you’d probably treat it like shit
My 2013 5.0 rspec only has 10k miles lets goo
Future Genesis owner here. Another good video. I appreciate your transparency. Keep up the good work.
I can’t wait to try and get a 2015 genesis 3.8 but I also love the 2014 model as well. Thanks for this video. Making me feel more confident about my future choice
Glad I could help!
I appreciate all the info you put into these videos
The Sage I appreciate your comment
So weird that the 12’s don’t have BTA but my friend’s 11 sonata SE does. Beautiful car and great editing. Really enjoyed the video. I had toyed with the idea of getting a 2015 Genesis 5.0 to replace my 2007 Mercedes S550. It’s the only decently affordable car that gives me the same type of interior vibe that my S gives me without being the same car or terribly unreliable.
Dude, okay. First- thanks to you for doing this video. For once-like you call em,”brand snobs”, don’t give an objective view on this car. They just nitpick the shit out of these cars just bc it’s a Hyundai. And then you come along and actually give a straight, non biased, and EDUCATED insight into the Hyundai badged Genesis rspec. Much appreciated, and that’s an understatement to the extreme.
Second- the hard data on cost of ownership in the long run, the gremlins that exist, the pleasures of ownership, etc. Where have you been hiding all these years that I’m just now finding your channel and seeing this video. Lemme tell you something, brother!(In my best Macho Man voice here) This compendium of knowledge that you shared here is epic. I’m 43, have been watching this car since it’s debut more than 10 years ago, and after driving the newly badged GENESIS line of G-whatevers, I still favor the Rspec. Now with you sharing the info you’ve done here, I’m now more than convinced that it truly is the car to get.
Enough said. Thanks again for sharing.
And thank YOU for this amazing comment! Cheers friend!
I too have a 2012 R-spec with a little over 100k. I loved the video and watch many of your other videos but my question is... once it’s time to trade in the 2012 Genesis, which Genesis are you planning to get? I test drive a 2019 G70 with 3.3T and I admit I don’t want to step away from the V8 but wow that 3.3T was impressive!
I'm at 120,150 on my equus. It's been a solid investment and love it.
Hell ya dude, im catching up!
Xtalgic _ lol.. I'm going to do the coolant flush myself at the end of the month. Bro.. keep the beard! Lol
Haha we shall see. And lemme know how the flush goes
Wow awesome!
I bought an Equus last year in May after my 2005 g35 coupe got smashed into while it was parked. But the Equus didn’t last long either as I ended up getting pushed off the road by a camaro that spun out 😂
I hear good things about the BTR TCM tune clearing up any shift latency and improving transmission responsiveness. They also make an engine tune as well. Excellent car for the money. I drove a black 2012 exactly like this when I owned a tuned 3.8 Gen coupe track manual. The engine was obviously more powerful, but considering the rspec sedan weighed 800 lbs more than my coupe, it didn’t feel much quicker and I kept the coupe as handling was superior and I expect fuel economy was as well. Great video.
Thanks man! In my opinion, the BTR ecu/tcm tunes are over priced. Plus I hit them up a while ago for something else... not.. the best experience..
Thank you for posting the Genesis videos. Watching them was part of my decision making for my 2012 5.0 rSpec. I've had it for 7 months now, and absolutely love it! Interesting that I watched this today, and my backup camera also started acting up. Did unplugging and replugging resolve the issue?
No problem glad I can help! As for the camera, honestly i haven't tried that, but i don't think it'll make a difference. I have to remove the trunk shell to get to it. When I get in there ill make sure to unplug/replug to see what happens. And congrats on your Genny man!
Mike, that is fantastic! Are you contemplating doing any modifications?
Awesome vehicle, one of the best luxury car sedans ever built. Reliability is awesome just like Toyota and Honda, the manufacturer tested the engine for 800,000 miles. Hyundai forum people have been putting well over 200,000 miles on their Genesis Sedan with the V6 and V8 with routine maintenance.
Oil consumption?
I’ve had my 2012 R-Spec for a year and a half and could not agree more about the transmission, fantastic car but the shifts are very sluggish and tend to slip a lot when driving aggressively. great vid man!
Thanks friend. And ya I think they’re more tuned with longevity in mind. Unfortunate, but I believe BTR has a TCU tune that apparently fixes that.
Just got a 09 4.6 with 64k on it and your videos were super helpful in our decision making so thank you!
You’re welcome Caroline! Thank you for the kind words!
I had the leaky taillight on my 2013 that put an inch or two of water in the spare tire well. I used a caulk gun and put outdoor silicon around the tailight foam gasket and pressed it on. No problems since in 2 years.
I have a 2013 R-Spec 5.0 and everything said in this video is correct. I had a 2011 but totaled it and got the 2013 which doesn't have several of the issues talked about in this video. Great great vehicle. Best I've owned....so far.
They seem to have sorted out a lot in the 13-14's
@@Xtalgic Great videos. Keep doing it. Hey, Ms. can be annoying but you gotta luv em.
Just bought a 2012 Genesis 5.0 R-Spec, it'll be arriving soon. Excited would be an understatement. 93k miles, 13.8k.
The beard looks great dude, keep it 100%
I have a 2013 Genesis R Spec. Only 26k on the clock. Bought new in 14 for $33k. Still have bumper to bumper until June and remainder of 10/100 after that. I also had the camera go out but was recently replaced under warranty. Only cost $112 according to warranty claim! Only other issue was internment headlight flash on and off due to switch on turn signal stalk also replaced under warranty. Great car. Most likely will replace with Equus in a few years. Happy motoring!
Thank you my brother I've been looking into this car and u have helped
I own a 2016 3.8, with Tech package. Bought about two months ago. It has the panoramic sun roof. It has the different grill. It is, in fact the same basic car as the 2019s. It had about 32k when I bought it. Now 42,500 miles. So far I love the car. Every option works on it. I hope I can be as happy as you when it goes over 100k. Good no BS video by the way.
Appreciate it Gary!
These are underrated vehicles which is good for looking in used market. Those Tau v8 are fantastic
Thanks for an honest appraisal of your 2012 Genesis R-Spec. I'm buying a 2012 3.8 with the tech package and 36,000 on it.
You’re welcome friend, and good luck with your purchase!
Thanks for this and your other content, helped in deciding to buy a one-owner 2013 R-Spec with 101k miles.
Congrats!!
I just bought a 2012 5.0 nonRSpec and I love that I have the speed of the RSpec with the sleeper looks of the 4.6, thanks for the upload :)
No worries and Congrats on your Genny!
What's the difference between the 5.0 non r and the r spec?
A few visual differences like wheels, headlights and badging. And from what I’ve read a firmer tuned suspension with thicker sway bars, and different steering and transmission tuning.
great outtakes! thanks for the vid
Better than 95% of the reviewers out there. Keep at it
I have the same model, since jan 2019. Solid car. First foreign car I have purchased.
Great video! My 2012 R-Spec is about just over 120,000mi as well! The ONLY thing I've had to replace was the rear back-up camera! Still running original brake-pads, I did change the spark-plugs, had a full de-carbonization done. I do have the same rattle on the rear deck that just started last month, only issue I have is the oil consumption. Other than that, best car I've ever owned, no issues whatsoever in the past 4yrs I've owned it!
Few questions about the de-carb process. Where’d you get it done? Was is a chemical based process or media blasting? How much? And any noticeable difference afterwards??
@@Xtalgic sorry for the late reply. I had it done at the dealer. They use the walnut-blasting process. You're supposed to do the cleaning every 50K, costs about $130. But since it had never been done before, the full cleaning was $330. And yes, it made a HUGE difference. Should have done it a lot sooner...!
Hello, how is it holding up now and mileage, fixes etc?
Just got one on Dec 31st 😎starting off the year right I’m in luv with my Whip 😎😎😎
Thanks a lot for this video man. I just bought the same spec car. Black r spec. I really like it thus far. But I’m arguing with the dealer who sold it to me about the windows not rolling down or the mirrors folding from the driver door controls. I literally just got this car the day before yesterday and I called them the same night about the issues. I’m hoping I don’t have any other issues with the electronics:-/
Currently looking at a 2012 r spec. Thanks for the great info. I'm seriously considering the purchase.
wyohotrods No problem at all. Good luck with your search friend.
Consider a 2013 to avoid possible high oil consumption (based on what I've been reading)
If possible wyohotrods, look for a Southern Car and if possible, a one-owner R-Spec. I bought my 2012 5.0 R-Spec down here in North Carolina and it was a one-owner with 67,000 miles. I found the previous owners business card in the owners manual and I reached out to him and he was awesome. He took incredible care of the car and was in the process of upgrading the exhaust (he had the x-pipe installed) which saved me some coin as I installed Borla mufflers last week and it sounds incredible!!
Wyohotrods let me know what you think of the exhaust note with the Borla's on my R-Spec (installed last Friday, 10/5/109) ... ua-cam.com/video/aBsdE3ytpHI/v-deo.html
You are the man! Looking at the Equus. Did the exhaust mods help? They sound great!
Yes.
Awesome video. Thanks for all the info. Looking at getting a 2013 to avoid some of the issues you stated. Everything I've read and heard make them sound awesome, so looking forward to getting one. Again, great video. Any negatives on the 2013's?
Thanks man! I don’t know much about the 13’s in specific, but they’re essentially the same car aside from a slightly updated infotainment system, but maybe an owner of one can chime in?
Brenden Westerfeldt so far no issues on my 13 rspec I've had it for a year driven from 38,000 to 44,000 ...(also driven like I stole it)😁 purchased for $21,000 ...best purchase ever made..getting ready to start some mods ie. Exhaust. Intake.and possibly nanny control..but so far IT IS THE BEST PURCHASE EVER
@@jbo4394 Great to hear! Trying to find the right car right now (miles, price, etc.). Hoping to get black, but there's a lot more used Silver and White ones. I'm surprised at how long these cars sit on the lot sometimes and the dealerships don't lower the prices. Seems like it should be a buyers market but they aren't pricing them as such.
I own a 09 genesis. We got it from a small dealership and less than 6 months later had to replace the motor. Thank god for warranties. Installed a 2012 motor. Same displacement 4.6 v8. With 30k on it. Nicest car I've owned.
What happened to the engine?
Got a 4.6 in Feb now I have 102k miles on it. Car is the best car I've driven. Love the fast and luxury style. Have the chocolate interior. I need the rspec rims though.
KdotSAVAGEGAMING Lucky for you I have a set for sale.
Thanks for the video dude! I'm in-between this car and a Jag xf. I'm coming from Lexus so I'm really concerned with reliability. My Lexus now has 117k runs great but I want a big v8, and can't afford a Lexus. I'm like you that I do as much service on my cars as possible. Good review, thanks again!
Thanks friend!
Whatd you get! Cause im on both of those option
@@crazyclown2291 it's been awhile but I did get the genesis, loved it but sadly it got totaled in an accident. Now I have a infiniti q50
I owned two Mercedes a 2003 S 500 and 2004 c 240. Both of them were purchased with under 40 miles. Both great cars. The s cost me 42k and the c 30k. Now both were great cars and I like driving them. I tell you this though both cost me some $$$ to maintain. I never spent under $300 dollars for repairs or general service that goes even for a oil change and I had my friend a certified mercedes mechanic taking care of the cars. My friend told me when i purchased the vehicles you will have to walk with a open wallet. He was absolutely right. I did a lot o research before I purchased my 2016 genesis AWD fully loaded and the ride is great. Planning to buy another soon that's how good the car is. they dont get the credit they deserve but so did Lexus. Get one! No Im not a Hyundai salesperson or rep. Just found a good thing and decided to share after watching this guy video. GREAT JOB and Great Car.
Saw your 666 subscriber count and had to sub immediately lol. Anyways I’m convinced this car is the best luxury sedan bargain around. I’m currently shopping for a new vehicle and I’m considering this or a equus. My mother had a 3.8 sedan which was quick so I can’t imagine how the 5.0 rips. Thanks for the video!
Haha thanks homie! The Equus has WAY more luxury options than the genesis. It’s actually absurd ha if you’re looking at mainly high luxury I’d go with the equus, they’re such a bargain these days it’s unreal. If you want a lighter smaller more nimble version of the equus without the fridge and reclining back seats and all that, the genesis is for you. Also, I’m sure the Equus beats the genesis in ride comfort as well, but both ride amazing. Let me know what you go with!
Just started subscription to your channel..my 2013 genesis rspec is awesome vehicle love your videos of cons and pros keep up the videos..btw mine is also the black with chrome but I do like some of the chrome on her
j bo Thanks man and welcome!
Coming from a 2 time 4.6 owner, these Genesis are great!!!
Damn!! You might love these cars more than me haha
My 2012 4.6L genesis sedan with 85,000 miles seized the other day.
$17,000 for new long block engine, which does not exist in U.S.A. I am second owner...warranty for me ended at 60,000 miles. My dad's sonata engine blewup at 60,000 miles. My genesis' engine blewup at 85,000 miles. I WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER HYUNDIA CAR. wouldn't take a hyundia, even if they gave one to me.
Love this video instant subscribe❤️❤️
I test drove a 2014 Genesis R-Spec last night, when I say I fell in love real quick lol. When I was driving the car I didn't won't to seem that excited about the car, so that the salesman wouldn't run my credit because I'm not planning to buy one until next year. The R-Spec is great value for what it is!
Haha And they’ll be even greater value next year! Good luck 👍
@@Xtalgic thanks for the reply and keep the videos coming!
Watched this video several times. Love the "they haven't been babied miles, to say the least" comment with the burnout footage. I just shook hands on a 2013 5.0 R- spec with 113K based in part on your videos. Trade it in on a GTI? Really? Good luck keeping the millennials entertained, you'll be missed. Thanks for all your help!
Dennis Navarro it was an April fools video...
@@Xtalgic Cool, never occurred to me. Excellent!! Check this, my 2013 is Cabernet Red! I can't even find that as an option color for the R Spec. I've seen one other in your comments section. Is it that uncommon or is it that no one knows about these models?
I have a 2013 5.0 Rspec at 106000 miles. Love the car!
still on the OEM brakes also
regarding your backup camera - take the trunk lid liner off and there are some connections in there. Take those apart and reattach. Mine was in/and out for a while but since I did that the camera has not missed a beat (been a year)
CONFIRMED. Thanks Thomas! Always appreciate your support man.
Wish I saw this 2 months ago when I spent 100s of dollars to get my backup camera replaced at my dealership...
@thomas new how many miles she at now?
@@LilZzzQ I have a company car now so the Genesis stays in the garage mostly. At 122000 now
Just got myself a 13 5.0 Rspec and I love it....
That’s bad ass I’m looking to get one myself
I got a 4.6 with almost 170k 😂 never had a problem just keep up on maintenance and I don’t baby it at all safe to say gennys are reliable
Heck yeah!! No car is perfect. And I'm still LOVIN' my 2012 R-Spec to this day and everyday I drive to and from work! I agree about the transmission....it's great when it comes to a luxurious smooth shift, but it lacks in true sport shifting control (especially when the trans fluid is cold). But overall, it's still a freakin' amazing car for the money.......a true sleeper in performance and price. I love it when I slap-face the rice rockets at 50mph.....they can't believe it when a 4000 lb spaceship leaves them in the dust!
Hahaha I’ve I had a few of those.
2 years ago… 500 subs. now 7.2K. that’s fuckin dope! i just found you on YT nd now thinkin bout getting a 2012 Hyundai Genesis
This comment is Effin DOPE 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Love these car man!
I just bought a one owner 2010 Genesis 4.6 with 66,000 miles for $10,000. I'm loving it!
Congrats dude!!
Great video, you have my seriously looking at the Genesis. Are the camera, parking sensors, and sunroof the only electronics that have stopped working?
Check out my buyers guide! Everything you want to know is in this video!
ua-cam.com/video/-ZATJ2fCWJc/v-deo.html
Thank you for the response... I appreciate the feed back
What would make mine perfect is to add a surround camera system.. that would be awesome as the car is so big the blind spots are lethal..
You should do more videos. Great quality 👍🏼
Thanks Luis!
I test drove a 4.6 the other day but come monday I'm gonna be buying a 13' genesis Rspec.. cant wait .
Good luck!
Recent new subscriber. Car sounds good. Just purchased an Equus. Wow! What have you done to your exhaust? Besides the bypass. Resonater removal and what kind of mufflers???
Welcome! And all the modification I’ve done are in this video! ua-cam.com/video/pg-j2YA7ZiE/v-deo.html

Thanks homie
Thanks for a great video!
Nice candid video. I wonder how i compares with Lexus LS460 or even LS430 in terms of reliability and quietness. I heard complaints about the leather quality of the seats. Can you shed some light on that please? - Thanks

VERY helpful video!
Thank you!
i have a chance to get a 2012 Hyundai genesis 5.0 r-spec. I was my late uncles and its in immaculate condition. Your video was the only one that thoroughly explained everything I wanted to hear about the car (except for the GPS) i think im gunna go for it
Wacha wanna know about the GPS?? Other than it’s outdated and I use waze lol
@@Xtalgic so ive seen haha, ill put in a phone mount probably and just use that, but i use my phone for music also so kinda crappy havin cables everywhere
IceColdKiller72 I do the same it’s only one cable friend. It’s a very bizarre specialty cable though exclusively from Hyundai.
@@Xtalgic I have an android though
@@Xtalgic Playing music via BLUETOOTH works great on the 2014. The only time I had an issue is when my iPhone updated. Once the update for the issue came out, it worked great!
You can purchase a bluetooth streaming receiver from Amazon...just plug into the auxiliary and stream music on bluetooth
I have a 16 Gs 350 F sport. It's my 3rd owned lexus and I love it! But...I've been looking into a family V8 sedan, some will understand, and some won't. I love the new body style and have been looking at the 15/16 genesis 5.0. Haven't had any issues with the GS and I'm debating if the Genesis 5.0 is equivalent as far as reliability. I rock with the channel, the mods, all the content. What's your take? All around, is it worth it?
Just found a genesis 5.0 r spec by me with only 14k miles owned by some old dude. Thanks for letting me know I should buy it
OMG!!! you better scoop that up like ice cream.🏌🏿
In their Volkswagen lmao!! But they won’t keep up #gapplebees 😂. You deserve more than 10k followers bro. Editing on point solid content. If you wanna add that more modern touch swap out them turn signals, reverse lights license plate bulbs for leds 🤘🏼 love these Rspecs. Does your wife/gf drive it too? She like it? Also found a genesis on CarMax 2012 tho, has 22k they want $20,988
Thanks homie appreciate it, trying to get better with every video. Well get there! She loves it but she wont admit it haha and If you're not worried about oil consumption id say thats a fair deal. Go drive it see how she feels!
Xtalgic _ oil consumption dosnt bother me my old civic si burned thru oil cause vtec life lol!! I’ll have to find a used one close to me that one from car max is like deep in the east coast I’m out here in Cali 😅. I keep coming back to these genesis r specs. Don’t see them around at all out here maybe once every blue moon. Also lookin at the q50s as well these genesis have lsd?
I’m pretty sure they have an electronically controlled diff.
I have a 2012 and for streaming audio I use a Bluetooth transmitter by MPOW. Got on amazon for $15 works great and just plugs into the auxiliary port.
I’ve never had good audio quality with those thing tbh

I am looking into one of these as a spare vehicle (3 kids). Thank you for review, Never thought I'd be looking into one of these.
I have a 2012 R-Spec too. I just crossed 100K. I've had a great experience. The only issue I've had is that on long trips, the transmission starts shifting weird. Hard shifts. But when it cools down it's fine. Ive changed the trans fluid 3 times with Amsoil myself. That seems to help. (Dont use Valvoline Max life...) I use Berryman's fuel treatment every 4th fill up. My brake pads lasted over 100K. I had an alternator blow up at 80K. But the car has been pretty solid. And yes, the transmission shifts like a snail in manual mode.
Helpful vid👊🏽
I have a 4.6, drove the rspec as fast as it is. I said to myself I don't need all that speed.
Also I did not want to deal with carbon buildup on the back of the valves.
The only thing is the newest car has better technology package.
I want to add that I thought the 6 speed ZF trans was the better option, hearing the 8speed was a slug.
Happy New year 🎊🥂🎈🍾🥂🎉
Happy New Year Friend
I can't imagine the rspec being all that much faster than the 4.6.
littlecouchgames
But it is, gdi
@@Pube83 I stand corrected. The numbers I can find show the rspec at a full second faster 0-60. That sound right?
So far on my 2013, I have a broken folding mirror motor on the driver side and the same issue with the parking sensors. It comes and goes though. I will have to keep an eye on the sunroof as I use it every day. Everything else works fine.
Grease dem slides!
W/ the OLDER Sonatas & Kia's,Best to Just Drain Ur Old Trans.Fluid,Repl.Same Amt.U Got Out,& 250-500 MLS.Just Drain Again & Repl.Same Any.U Got Out,By Then,All Old Fluid Out Of Converter is Usually Gone.
Amazing car bro, I owned a 2009, and 2011 genesis 4.6L😎👍
Thanks homie
Where did you find a extra set of R-Spec wheels? I need a set. I have a 13 R-Spec with nothing done & a 11 4.6 that sounds better than a demon 😂😂. I'll post a video soon. Great Videos bro, you got a new subscriber out of me!!
Those are my summer wheels/tires, I run a dedicated snow tire for the winter. And thank you and welcome!
I have a 2012 R-Spec with 241k on the clock, and it's literally one of the fastest vehicles I've ever owned. Currently in the shop waiting for the factory throttle body (trust me you need to replace them brand new), and I've embarrassed mustangs and stock hemis. Would love some advice on tuning. Zero transmission issues, other than it bogging down under mid-pressure acceleration.
What was wrong with yours? Everytime I let off it slows down funny and idle drops fast almost like u throw it in neutral when I pull up to a stop light .. wondering if it's my TB cause if I flick the pedal on decel a few times it slows for fine
@@boostedek3573the TPS went bad, and the used one I ordered wouldn't take.
New TB comes with the TPS. Know that it's not cheap and comes from S. Korea direct from Hyundai.
Miss my '12 RSpec. Had mine for 4yrs. Great, great, great car! Only issue: had to replace the engine due to oil consumption. Everything else was minor: oil leak, alternator had to be replaced, battery, and tires aren't cheap. Lol.
RSpec needs paddle shifters!
Regarding Sport Mode: computer shifts first 3 gears and then she's all yours.
Had no problem with parking sensors, door lock, rear view camera, sun roof...
Paint chips yes, tail light condensation yes, oil consumption yes.
