The car handles and accelerates well, especially for a hybrid. It is comfortable, and the location of the battery gives more storage room than in some other hybrids. My favorite part, though, is that gas mileage meets or exceeds the posted numbers. It's not that uncommon for me to get to work in the morning (40 miles one way, hence the hybrid) and see gas mileage in the upper 40s. The only thing that could be better is the radio reception, but that just means I spend more time listening to bluetooth audio
I've owned a lot of cars (5 BMWs, 2 Audis, a Mercedes, a Porsche, and a bunch of miscellaneous ones like classic Mustangs and old Mini rally cars). When I switched businesses from TV production (lots of car commercials) to real estate, I needed to go with something big enough for several people comfortably that wouldn't have crazy maintenance costs (bye, Mercedes), and wasn't so crazy expensive with the amount of driving I do (25k per year, so leasing was out, and the depreciation on a new BMW was out of the question with that much driving. Hence trying out the Genesis. Great value. Zippy. Comfy. The only mistake I made was no getting one with the technology package, since the rear is high enough that I'd like it to have a backup camera.
This is the second Genesis I've owned. Both have been exceptional cars. My 2012 Genesis was RWD and that wasn't very practical for the winters in Spokane, WA. I loved that car because it was fun to drive and very comfortable and dependable. I like a car with good performance and the 2012 was a rocket even with having the smaller V-6 engine. The 2015 Genesis we purchased in September of 2016 is AWD. I have to say AWD makes the winter driving around here pretty easy even with it's high-performance all-season tires (they're really just 3 season tires) that it came with. We love this car...it's got tons of great features and is very quiet.
