What reviewers liked least about the Hyundai Genesis:

...the transmission is slow. Up- and downshifts drag, and we were able to count off full seconds before getting what we wanted after stomping through the kickdown switch. All cars have a gate for manual actuation, but when the transmission takes longer to respond than an estranged fourth wife, it's hard to care.

Hyundai Genesis Comparisons:

...cars that should fear it the most aren't German thoroughbreds but are instead traditional mid-premium cars, which it thoroughly routs.

-- Car and Driver

Inside, Hyundai has definitely matched the Acura in terms of a premium feel and has surpassed Lincoln.

...Hyundai Genesis sedan is a powerful, well-equipped, mid-size luxury 4-door sedan that on paper is every bit the equal (and, in some cases, the better) of similar models from Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Acura and BMW.

-- Kelley Blue Book

Best one-liner about the Hyundai Genesis:

Like before, there's much about the Genesis to suggest it is far more expensive than it is. Now, though, Hyundai's full-size luxury car doesn't look rich just on paper: It feels more like it from behind the wheel, too.

Acclaimed for its smart styling, solid build quality and higher-end features found normally on more expensive marques, the Hyundai Genesis sedan has been a darling of automotive experts since it hit the U.S. market in 2008.
