I tend to think so, but this is a luxury car and I assume low production? might not be wise to use this one model to condemn the rest of the brand.
Bought another Genesis

That is why I wouldn't buy a hyundai, kia, or genesis used.
I HAVE to have the 5/60 10/100 warranty or get a good deal on factory extended warranty.
The first year "IVT"(cvt" on the 2020 elantra scares me.. but then again it was the engine that died(full replacement) at 40k miles
.
the low power PFI 2L at that...

Nah. Low production luxury car. The mainstream Hyundais and Kias are pretty good IMO. Other than 4 cylinder engine explosions.
Yup, I knew that when I bought it. I knew the warranty I bought was going to be up at 143k miles and that I'd sell the car at 142k miles.
I'll get me a Toyota next
Genesis with an extended warranty is way more interesting.
five Kias and a Hyundai with no problems other than the second generation Soul with direct injection required checking the dipstick.

I was going to ask that color name. The last new Chevelle I bought from a dealer came in a very similar color. Nice looking machine. Bet it is sweet cruising.

Absolutely. I LOVE this car, I just can’t own it after the warranty is up. I had a hole in my heart from selling the first one, had to get that itch scratched.
Maybe a Lexus next?
It is absolutely a sweet cruiser.
The current crop of Lexus models are just Toyota with a Lexus badge outside; thanks TNGA.Maybe a Lexus next?
Oh, and the free pedicures at the dealer for the middle-aged Karen clientele.

After driving a luxury vehicle, a Toyota is going to be a total let down, just gonna say that. Lexus might be what you're looking for, even though they're just touted up Toyota's. Better snag one soon before they all go 4 cylinder turbo if you are not into that sort of thing.
Nick's not getting any younger. Could be a good fishing spot.
Or he could find out what a good pedicure feels like.I know you’re looking for performance luxury ride… but have you contemplated the Camry? Solid, safe, reliable transportation. Or if it just has to be RWD, then what about a Vic? can’t go wrong with there.Maybe a Lexus next?

Man the Camry is kinda ho-hum though. I guess maybe the previous gen TRD with the 3.5 V6, but the A25A equipped models yea not so sporty

Yeah, I'm thinking of more simple transportation. Camry, Avalon, ES350, or maybe an older LX460. We shall see, I've got 2 more years. I started looking into it but then I just might actually start looking into it! Don't want to do that yet lol. The Genesis is almost paid off.
Ha! I was actually joking (witness the Vic comment). I’m contemplating a Volvo just for size and utility—and I hate to say it, comfort. This looks like a week where I will need to go in office all 5 days—at an hour each direction I’m both wondering how did I do this for years, and starting to dread doing it in my Corolla. In hindsight, I always did it in something larger (Jetta, Camry or Tundra).

If you got something like an Avalon or something with the 2GRFE V6, they get really good highway mpg. We took my aunt’s ‘16 Avalon on a 5k mile road trip and did not drive it easy. 80+ mph on interstate and driving in mountains and national parks, averaged 28.8. The last stretch from Montana to Phoenix was 80-85 mph average, cruise set and we averaged just shy of 32.
That’s the same as what my MIL’s RX350h gets at 75+. On paper, more power than the 2GR-FE, but worse harmonics.
Sort of, the car he’d be interested in likely would likely be the LC500 which Toyota offers nothing close to it. It is an epic sounding V8 and nothing on interior makes you think Toyota . It’s next level vehicle.

Keeping this thread updated with the repairs.
Last summer it got a new A/C compressor and condenser. This year the A/C temperature is inconsistent. At stops it would go up to 60*, then when moving back to 40*, and fluctuate back and forth.
I took it into the dealer and they can’t find a leak, but said it was a whopping 2oz low on refrigerant. After refilling it so far it’s great. They added dye this time though.
I was out of pocket for $210 to recharge it.
