I see Scotty is putting Haiti on the map in this video. Haiti stand up!
Everyone in 2020: I could get used to this whole work from home thing
Scotty: HAH! I’ve been working from home for 52 years
Nice shot. No 💖 though.
Oh hey, another “everyone in 2020” comment!
Wfh sux
@@cgletts when you're working for someone else like I do, then yes I agree
@@cgletts So does your writing.
I own a 2013 Genesis 5.0 R-Spec. Bought it with 50,000 miles. It now has 295,000 miles on it. Regular maintenance and the only thing I've had to replace is the Alternator. The gears on my mirrors went out but I'll fix that soon enough. Best car I've ever owned and the leather is still in great condition.
Wow that's amazing I'm looking to get a 2012 r spec.
@LXRD-DiViNE-SUPREME-ELOHIM♤ Yes sir. 315,000 miles now. Still running strong. It's been a good car to me. I drive mainly highway.
@@nathandale2738 woah that's phenomenal. Would you say the 3.8 is as reliable? And thanks for answering my questions.
@LXRD-DiViNE-SUPREME-ELOHIM♤ That I don't know. But I don't see why it wouldn't be. The Genesis in my opinion is just a well made car. A/C is still working great. Never had any problems with my windows, starter or coil packs. Maybe I'm lucky but it's just been a good car.
@@nathandale2738 Man that's awesome glad to see you got your money's worth. Once again thank you. Have a great evening. Take care.
Honestly these Genesis models have been really reliable especially the V8 models. Definitely more reliable then a German competitors
Rhonda Carter NO
Everything is.
@Rhonda Carter hyundai/kia is best
Only buy hyundai/kia for stress-free life👍👍
They are pretty reliable but Only problem is from 2012 and up they put there own built 8 speed trans and it downshifts terrible just like new toyotas and Lexus 8 speeds I have a 2012 4.6 Genesis with 118k and the trans has been replaced at 85k and it still downshifts terrible now I need to go back again
Easy fix! Check the variable valve control solenoid in bank 1 and the wiring which leads around hot parts of the engine. Those things are notoriously bad in these cars. $100 part and takes 20 min. Idles smooth like a champ again. Oh yeah, tell him to change the oil more often with those GDI, the small passages of these valves get easily clogged.
I love my 2014 3.8. Absolutely no issues with it at all. Best car I've ever owned.
How's the car been now ?
Update: I bought one in September in 2021, I love it to death
The 5.0 R spec is ridiculous
The one in the video has been abused. I'd bet lack of oil changes and some other maintenance has been deferred. I have a '12 with 108k on and it runs like a top and looks new. I don't what the guy did to the interior but it looks awful.
@@ej2659 I agree man. I get on mine hard sometimes but never to the point I'm damaging it.
Scotty also traded his 94 Celica for a newer Pt Cruiser
😂😂
jay c he traded his 94 Celica for a 2013 Nissan Altima 🤣🤣
PT Bruiser
Lmao
With a dent, hopefully!
2013 Hyundai Genesis owner here. Purchased in 2015 with 35k on the clock. Fast forward to today and I have 130k miles and I have only had 1 repair to date (antilock brake servo manifold) - replaced with used part for around $100 and $30 worth of brake fluid. Mobile 1 oil, factory Hyundai oil filters, air filter, tires and recently, a new battery due to age. One of the BEST undervalued cars currently on the market. It's also a dead ringer for a late 2000's S-class Mercedes Benz. In 2015, I paid $19,500 which was WAY less than half price from the sticker.
How is it holding up? What trim level did you get? V6? V8?
Hows it going? Any major repiaes or thing we should look out for
300k on mines no issues just passed smog
@@h8h81 nice! I have a 2013 with 185.
What year is yours?
I love my 2011 Genesis 3.8! Had her since new and she only has 91k now. It's the old port injected engine that tends to hold up better over time. Plus, the pre-2012 3.8 models use Aisin (Toyota) 6 speed transmissions. These are great, reliable vehicles for a great price if you find the right one.
1000% recommend my genesis. Bought it with 71k mi, now has 95k mi with absolutely no issues. Smooth ride quality, comfortable seats, great power.
I think with the car that Scotty reviewed was not in great condition because it was the first year of the refreshed engine with GDI
What year is yours?
@@chepzgaming5977 I had a 2011 and now I have a 2010. The 2011 is with my parents. I’d recommend 2009-2011 before the 2012 update. The transmissions aren’t very reliable after that
@@saratc660 oh man. I just saw a real nice 2012 today was thinking about going to check it out. Now I’m not so sure 🙁
@@chepzgaming5977 yeah I hate to say it but I’d avoid it. The 2012 is the first year of GDI and first year of the new 8-speed Hyundai made transmission. Yes it’s faster and yes it drives better but it’s not as reliable as it hasn’t been around long enough to work out the flaws. 2009-2011 engines are multi port engines and are simpler. The transmission options are an Aisin (Toyota) transmission and a ZF 6-speed. Both are reliable and there are numerous people in forums with over 200k miles. Haven’t seen many after that
The answer is no, he didn't
Why change the Lexus with conventional suspension vs an air suspension that costs a fortune to fix!
Hyundai, kia and genesis are all ok cars till 100k kms. after that they start falling apart like clockwork. like a planned obsolescence is built in these cars
@@lordjaashin Everyone says the same! The first Hyundai's early 90's, they lasted many years, but falling apart piece by piece! Buy it new; then dumped before the 100k or 10 years before the warranty is over. Who can fight the Toyota lifetime warranty?
@@lordjaashin not true in my experience, I've had 2. Current one has 100kms and the other had 260kms
@@lordjaashin My sister's 2011 Kia has 230k miles still running strong. I drove that car for a few days while my almost brand new Audi was in a shop for repair. I purchased Audi after my 2008 highlander blew its engine at 80k miles. I am planning to trade in Audi for Kia Stinger as they seem more reliable
Scotty, my 2009 Genesis 3.8. Sedan has 145k miles and runs 100% like New! Best value in used cars if you can deal with rear drive.
There great cars! I have a 2012 Hyundai Accent with 200k miles still runs like new
I have a 2010 Hyundai Genesis my only problem is the dashboard is cheaply made, mine is always covered but it still cracked. Good car otherwise.
Mine has 134k. Runs like brand new.
My 2010 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 dashboard cracked too and it's always covered the dashboard are cheaply made but runs good 109.000 miles.
Hyundai vehicles are made cheaply I found out that some Hyundai cars are made good depending of the guys putting the motors together lol
I test drove one of these back around 2009. I was at the dealership looking at the Accent, but commented on the beautiful Genesis and asked the salesman about it. He was bored, so we took it for a test drive. What a nice car! I'm glad to hear owners are happy with theirs and reliability is proving to be very good overall.
I am not buying that the cams have worn out even a little after 100 k, more likely a dirty intake or valves being a direct injection engine, clean and fix the problem I suspect.
Have several friends who have bought Genesis vehicles, they all seem to be very happy with them. Lexus is also an excellent product if you don’t mind spending a little more.
ALOT more
I’m def one of them. I have a V6 and a V8, both are excellent. The V8 runs smoother and has been a better vehicle. Easily one of my favorites I’ve ever owned
@@saratc660It's honestly such a damn shame they never offered the genesis coupe with the v8 found in the sedan. Would have been a genuine mustang competitor.
I have a 2013 Genesis 2013 3.8 Sedan with 185,000 miles. I bought it used with 36,0000 miles. I had to replace the driver side window regulator and the fuel gage sensor went bad. Both went bad at around 183,000. The Hyundai Genesis has treated me very well.
The Genesis is pretty nice actually. Nothing wrong with choosing one over a Lexus or any other brand really.
If bought new, you save a big bundle if used, it has to be with lower miles!
Unless you want it to last. GDI is bad news. I'm surprised he praised it. I wouldn't step 10 feet with in this thing.
@@Strokin383 its a kind of new Technology they'll improve it!
Quan? Is you white but asian?
@@Strokin383 umm honda engines are gdi also
Last time I was this early Scotty still recommended modern Toyota’s!
You can't beat a Lexus for comfort, quality and return on cost. I used to look at lower cost cars, but when my wife bought a Lexus, it changed the way I looked at cars. We had a great comfortable ride, it was fast enough, lots of room, and very little maintenance costs - just so reliable - she needed that as a nurse who visits patients at their homes. When patients are dying, their families really don't want an excuse for a non visit because of a broken down car - her RX has not let her down and many of her fellow nurses own RX's - just so dependable in the medical field.
$300 honda accord bought with 300k now it has 450kmiles on it. $2500 tiburon 300kmi I bought it at 125kmi. I switch between cars. I want a new car but if it breaks all the electronics seems like alot.
Great video, I enjoy these show and tell videos very much.
This caught my eye as I just bought a 36K 2016 Hyundai Genesis - and the video got me a little concerned. My brief research came up with the (complicated) OCV oil control valve as a frequent contributor to rough idle and variable valve timing issues. Also mentioned using the Hyundai oil filter as not all aftermarket filters provide the correct flow and that will affect the OCV operation. Not for one second suggesting that it isn't wear, 'cause I'm not smart enough to have any opinion.
Thank you so much scotty, for all the information you have provided, i have learned a lot from you. God bless
Scotty: "People often ask me about Yundai ..."
Letter H: "Am I a joke to you?"
I work at a gas station and I had a guy role through with a '99 Tiburon with over 300000 miles on it, and he said it was still running like a clock.
Love my Genesis 4.6 so far. Best used midsize luxury car value out there!
Have had my Genesis for 5+ years and have over 140,000 miles on it. Trouble free ownership since I bought it. Also does some pretty good burnouts and keeps up with a few supercars 😉
Is the engine in today's model exactly like yours? Or does the new one have a GDI engine while yours may have port injection? That could make a big difference on maintenance cost.
Didn't expect to see you here! Love your videos man!
Wow, I'm thinking of getting a 2016 3.8L V6, do you think I can get 200,000 miles out of it?
@@trulux8395 too late but yes. I see many genesis selling that have over 200k miles on them
I’m going to maybe get one this week for 20,988. It has 45,000 miles on it. It’s a 2016. Pretty sure no warranty because of it being used. I’m worried it will have probalems.
I love these cars especially the first-gen. Genesis. A few years ago my aunt had a fully loaded 2011 Genesis with the 3.8. Black on black. What I remember most about it is how WHISPER quiet the interior was. The rear seats were very comfortable. Very good build quality and easily competes with a Lexus or Mercedes. Now she has a loaded 2015 which also has the 3.8. I thought it was peppy after driving it one time. My uncle (her husband) has a fully loaded 2013 Santa Fe Sport. They both love their Hyundais and haven't had any issues with them. This led me to buy my 2019 Tucson Se. Hyundai's are great cars and a great value when you buy them slightly used.
I have a 2013 just hit 70K miles and I love it!
I have a 2013 Equus with 5 litre 8 speed. 430 hp , loaded with luxury. Nicest car I ever had, you can pick one up for around 15K. a lot of bang for your buck. Scotty, you should do a review on a used Equus.
Pushing 240k miles on my 2010 genesis coupe still runs smooth has a shaky idle but heard they were like that out of the gate, I've only performed maintenance and replaced a few suspension parts I've kept the oil changed I've had it 2 years and hope I have many more
Genesis and Hyundai Genesis are good and reliable.
Blue Moon been wanting to get one tbh
@@jenrivera6125 2015 and newer really raised the bar. Powerful engines, AWD availability. Every owner I met that has one loves it.
@Matthew Aniston Have you ever owned one?? Do you know anyone with one? I do and they are very happy long time owners. My cousin has a 2012 with 140k miles and zero issues. You do know Scotty is a little dated when it comes to Korean cars
@Matthew Aniston That is true. My wife has a 2017 Kia Optima and it comes with the bells and whistles for a fraction of the price of other vehicles in its class where you'd pay extra. It had a recall for the knock sensor but dealership took care of that no problem. I drive a Honda so I'm not a hater.
@Matthew Aniston I watched the video. He evaluates the car and concludes impressionable marks on it. At 4:36 he displays no fault codes on the screen and claims it is in pretty good shape. At 5:00 he says they are good cars. At 5:38 he says despite the slightly worn cams the transmission runs smooth, the suspension is in excellent shape and that the cars have evolved a very long way. He insists this is a fast, comfortable, and a cross-country car. He appears to hold the vehicle in high estimation; not at the level of Lexus yet, but good. "They're not reliable," is your claim, not his.
Great video , thank you Scotty
Scotty, just sold my 02 Lexus SC 430 and bought a 14 Hyundai Equus Ultimate. 50k miles. Wow. What a car. V8 429 HP. Love, love, love it! Thought I was really gonna miss my Lexus. Nope. It was a great car too!
Thanks for your show!
Hi Scotty can't wait for the app
I love my 2016 Genesis!
Scotty nice review, how about a Hyundai Veloster N review. Looking forward on it.
I have a 2010 Hyundai Genesis sedan 3.8 V6. I love it. Best car I’ve owned and had it for 2 years.
This gentleman should conduct a symphony :-)
hes doing it right now!!
I'm the one for that.
Especially when he talks about a manual transmission. 😎
Good one😂😂😂
@@ItzDrPlow !
Scotty, you should’ve asked the owner how often did he change the oil in his Genesis. If it was extended periods, like all manufacturers seem to do these days, it might explain the camshaft wear.
I think Hyundai engineering is the cause.
That's a really good question. I'm thinking of getting a 2016 3.8L V6. If I'm changing the oil every 4000-5000 miles do you think I'll avoid that wear?
@@trulux8395 i have it awd. its great car. other option was gs350 awd
So gooood!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!❤🙌🏿
Thank you skotty!!! For the genesis please do more!!!! PLEASE I HAVE A 2012 3.8
Hi Scotty. I have a 2013 Genesis Sedan V6 with the Tech Pkg with 96k kms and I absolutely love mine. These cars are amazing, nice looking. So far no problems with mine at all.
You won't have any issues!!!!! 207k miles here. Lowered on BC coils, wheels, and smooth ride. Seriously. I would buy another.
@@titanjake8640
And what year is yours? Does it have port injection or direct injection?
@@stevensevek6151 2012 gdi. No issues. 😀. 2012 they redesigned and upgraded things well.
That is probably going to be my next car. I have a really stiff but fast BMW right now. Just a bavk breaker but a blast to drive. But I need comfort with power now. Been waiting for them to upgrade that Hyundai display in the middle.
Dartman101 I have a 2012 V6 red Premium with 152 000 kms. I’m the original owner. My interior has none of the abuse of the one in the video and it’s the same light colour. No shaking at idle or when running. Acceleration and passing are effortless. Changed my own spark plugs (NGK ruthenium) and have taken to changing the oil and filter myself every 6000 kms. Use conventional which is what they used at the dealership. Considering switching to high mileage oil. Both engine and transmission seem as good as new. Amazing fuel economy considering the amount of power. May go to 200 000 kms before considering replacing. PS: I live in a Canada.
Hey Scotty! Looks Like A Beautiful Day in Houston. I Love Your Episodes when the sweat is pouring off of you. Sticky Scotty. Gets a Little Humid over there. OWLS & Turtles. Thnx, CJ
There are a few notes of special interest regarding the Hyundai Genesis. (1) Original owners were mostly lessors and usually (according to my multiple dealership contacts in California and Nevada) did not change their oil regularly - or otherwise! With all of the dirt and smoke from fires, etc., over the years, and even just plain wear and tear, this induced a lot of unnecessary cam lobe wear and scarring. When buying a used one with no service history, a warranty of some significance, like 5-years parts and labor, is really important. (2) There has been a TSB issued (technical service bulletin for the non-mechanics reading) about a software and sensor change for the 2012 Hyundai 3.8L DOHC GDI 333HP engine with 8-spd Shiftronic transmission that changed the transmission behavior. The original transmission programming resulted in harsh shift up and down, manual or fully automatic. The new software has this trans shifting smooth as… well, smooth. This from personal experience with my 2012 3.8L Sedan that just got the shift TSB fix a week ago. One more thing: (3) These cars are notorious for being difficult to gas up due to the delivery valves constant shutting off. This, of course, is from the fuel air canister being filled with fuel by people filling and then trying to "top off" the tank. If your audience has one (some) like that, replacing the canister is the fix.
I love you Scotty you really know your stuff.
Little known fact, Hyundai manufactures the Genesis at it's Montgomery Alabama plant as well.
You Rock!
I bought a 2013 Genesis 5.0 with 44k miles last July for $16,000. Best money ever spent. The Lexus ES I looked at was most definitely more comfortable but had no guts. I would have bought an LS if the right one came along, but I couldn't find one to beat the value of the Genesis. I loved seeing you review one here. Thanks Scotty.
Oh . Yeah .. i just brought a 2016 GENESIS 5.0.. it only had 13 thousands miles on it.. it’s already leaking power steering fluid.. worst car ever made... !!! UNBELIEVABLE !!!🥵🥵🥵😡🥵😡.. good dude.
It should be under warranty. What are you complaining about?
@@raphael52 Not wanting to deal with a horrible shifting transmission and dealing with being without a car.

Yup 🤣
I bought my Hyundai Genesis in 2013 brand new and still going 🚙 💨
Scotty, you said you dont need a V8. My 130K V8 Genesis doesnt have these problems...what it does have is 429hp. With 2 extra cylinders, cam lobes are used a lot less over that kind of mileage.
I bought the 5.0 R-Spec in December and I love it. It's definitely fast and fun, while also having luxury features.
Still a Hyundai

Me too. a lot of HP, but the transmission shifting could use an upgrade to really lock in every shift. Although, I know they built it for luxury. I know with a few mods these things could be ridiculous.
... and of course at the end of the day, Scotty’s still promoting Toyota and Lexus! Love your channel Scotty!
I and relatives bought 4 of those scion XBs. They all had tiny water pump leaks that started early on. I've added coolant once in 12 years. BIL did it twice. The garage was running ugly to try to change them right away (I'm sure they know it's a good revenue source).
FIL, and other BIL. Same thing. None of us got ours replaced. everyone but me made it to the point where oil consumption was intolerable (about 175k miles) and nobody ever fixed the water pumps or had the issue get worse.
Just my non-mechanic advice. If it makes you nervous, keep some coolant on hand. check the cold level of the overflow once in a while and see if it's more than cosmetic - it never was for us. I only have about 80k miles on my car (it's our spare car) and expect that I'll never need to worry about it, either, though it printed a line under the hood very early on and probably still does.
Great cars other than the oil consumption issue. Too bad they aren't worth getting that fixed by the time they have that many miles. About $150 in non-scheduled non-wear maintenance on mine in 12 years.
I have the same exact car , color included, 2012, just 42k miles, ( I live in a small place, and use my Wife's Audi for intercity commute) and the number of days my Hyundai Genesis spent with dealer is 0 days. I rest my case.
My Dad has the G 80. I am always trying to borrow it. My Dad is cool about it.
Great car
Hope so.
Hope you're not a teenager.
No. I have a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe. Fully loaded. I am about to buy a 2017 Lexus ES 350.
Check the spark plugs and do a throttle body cleaning. See if that helps. If not You’ll have to pull the intake n clean the valves/injectors. I’ll bet it’s loaded with carbon.
The original first generation Genesis was a nice design. Nice combination of speed, efficiency, comfort, amenities, and rear wheel drive.
My dad has a '13 w the V8. That is a screaming car actually !! Pretty much a Q-Ship.
I have been driving for decades and I will always prefer front or awd cars for their superior road holding to a rwd especially in snowy places.
2013 Hyundai genesis sedan great car, NO major problems at all. Last month changed NOT flush transmission oil at 110,000 miles.
My wife's even ran through a flood few months ago up here in the Northeast. She said the water was almost up to her window. I was worried when she called me not for her for the car. LOL !
I had a 2016 Hyundai Genesis, it would lose vacuum every once in awhile, and cause high rpm at idle. Traded that sucker in for a Ford Ranger. Hopefully will work better.
Hyundai is pronounced like Sunday.... more specifically Hun-Day
I’ll never be able to unHear Scotty pronouncing Hyundai
🤷♂️🤨
I had a 2003 Hyundai Elantra. When I got it it had 250,000 on it. Got it from my dad as a high school gift. It lasted till 298,000 miles till the transmission started slipping. Other than changing the tires and oil it was an excellent car.
keep it up, very good video....excellent
the best Hyundai I have ever driven is the 2006 Hyundai azera ,even though I bought the genesis but I still love the azera,luxurious and best sound system ever from infiniti
How is lexicon sounsystem in genesis?
@@aliijunas the lexicon sound super great one of the best ...
Scotty, since when are you working in NY (the registration and inspection stickers)?
On that Hyundai Genesis I believe that is the 3.8 l v6.
that particular engine used to be known for having issues with timing chain adjuster failures.
if there's a little bit too much slop in the chain it could also cause a slight wiggle in the VVT system.
You also might check to see if this may be simply normal for this engine perhaps this system is not as stable as others or operates on a different principle.
Slight vibration at idle you could also check coils wires plugs and fuel injectors that tends to be aware those things show up the most.
I love mine-it’s 4 wheel drive and it’s an 8....ITS A BEAST!
What Scotty ALWAYS misses is how much Kia's and Hyundai's have been improving and continue to improve. That's the big difference. Other car companies are more or less static. Hyundai and Kia's are actively improving and have been getting significantly better and better even in the last 5 years. This is a 2012 Genesis. The newer ones are better across the board including reliability.
Pretty sure they're static because theres little to improve. They're noy static because they dont want to improve lol. Genesis isnt as old as Toyota/honday company lol
@@mackycueco you must be old and out of touch
100% the new ones are night and day ahead of this car.
I have a 2012 genesis rn with 165k miles my transmission is starting to slip, if it weren't for that I'd say this car is one of the best used cars I've Had yet
He did mention it actually
I was so impressed with this car. I have so many expensive cars and this Hyundai is amazing. What you get for the money is crazy. Luxury speed all the things a mercedes s-class has for a tenth of the price! Auto up down windows heated cooled memory seats heated steering wheel etc... Everyone take this car for a drive before you buy an expensive mercedes. I think I am going to buy one thanks Scotty!
I bought a 2015 Genesis after owning a 535i BMW. I love it sooo much better. Ill never buy a Lexus. Ever!!!
@Debi Jo Hoffman you will never understand the true feeling of luxury then
Had a great toyota Corolla for work and around town.. Bought a Hyundai Sonata on sale= 2k more then the Toyota.. no comparison. a great step up for the money. Powerful- 38mpg on road and comfortable . Now have a Genesis coupe with 13k on it 348hp.loaded.. cant beat the quality or amt. of car for the money. and the warranty either..
Nice job scotty! You can still get in the trunk of your celica👌
I love those Hyundai Genesis they are great cars, I'm buying the R-spec model before this year is over with!
Chevy Lamar jus pay attention to the trans they are terrible
The early models I heard that had transmission issue, but that wasn't a common thing for those cars!
NY car with Haitian flag, Brooklyn for sure.
I thought the same thing looking at the stickers
Spent the whole video trying to confirm if that was indeed a 🇭🇹.
Brooklyn 🔥
The VVEL mechanism on the intake camshaft of my 370Z is very intricate and places a very heavy strain on the oil, with high contact pressures and temperatures. Nissan tried to counteract this by putting a low friction DLC(diamond like carbon coating) on the valvetrain parts and recommending a high concentration molybdenum ester oil. I use a 3K mile oil change interval, as I've seen on used oil analysis reports where this valvetrain will shear the 5W 30 oil to a 20 weight by 3K miles. My recommendation to anybody with one of these newer cars with these intricate variable valve lift and timing mechanisms in their valvetrains is to use a high-quality synthetic-based oil with good extreme pressure(EP) boundary layer additives that will minimize the wear of the base metal. These EP additives will form a sacrificial layer on the metal to protect it during a cold start-up before there is good oil flow to the top of the engine and for when the engine is under a heavy load with the oil thinned out due to high temperatures. I can only imagine the situation being worse with these smaller displacement turbo engines with their sizzlingly high oil temps.
2009-2010 3.8L Auto Transmission use a 5-Speed AISIN may look at those, but watch for valve carbonation due to GDI
Wth that guy drove from New York? I see current inspection and registration sticker!
Project Nerdvana Lol I just said the same thing
I saw the same thing... Lol
Yep
He escaped the Virus !
Project Nerdvana I noticed that’s also
I always think that genesis is the most underrated car .. it's my dream car esp 2021 models♥️♥️
You should get it it’s an amazing car
Yundieee or Hyundai, Scotty?
I love my 2017 G80. Bought it with 19k miles. It’s the best car I’ve owned.
I have the 2010 tech pkg and love it . Don’t need to buy premium gas like lexus and Mercedes Waiting for the gv80 . It’s first suv.
Worn camshafts @102k mi.......recent owner poorly maintained the vehicle. Lack of oil changes possibly. Engine gonna have more issues coming
Yeah well basically the difference of Hyundais even the more recent reliable ones is if you don't maintain them right they will wear as a toyota or honda engine since they been around at least 40-50 years before Hyundai even started will last longer even with changing oil late cause those engines been made longer but man has Hyundai improved! They definitely are right behind Toyota and mazda for reliability
I want a Genesis. They’re nice. And good power in their engines.
If that's all you care about.
wholeNwon power, luxury, tech, quality. Yeah, terrible stuff.
None Of your Business I have a 2010 3.8 Tech. I was so surprised by the quality, ride and performance for the price
Put Prolong whole lot better than Slick 50 that should get you a lo of time before repairs! Don't use Synch oil unless is the OEM mandate to avoid leaks! After the Prolong, AT 202Reseal to avoid and refresh seals! Then take it to Scotty to see if you can change AT Fluid! If so change it!
@@seanpeacock5595 Better choices when "quality" is a prime consideration. But an old friend did buy one and I was riding in it last week. Lots of tech and nice enough. He likes it. Then he rode in my old LS400 and he kept saying, "This is really nice."
my hilux i bought new in '98 just clocked over at 505000 km's trouble free and still using it as an everyday driver..people said when i bought it how boring it was, if you told me when i bought a new car it would run for 22 years with not one mechanical issue i would say thats not boring, thats exciting!!
@Rhonda Carter yes, the US calls this model tacoma and the rest of the world calls it a hilux..im in australia
I do like your talks, Scotty
I've seen these around town and I must say they are handsome cars. I wouldn't mind owning one, but for the right price. Also, long term reliability is still up in the air.
They have been going for nearly a decade (Genesis) and they have held up well. I can't comment on the 2018 and newer but the older ones are solid.
Trust me. I'm a 2nd owner of the 2012 3.8 premium. I have 207k miles with zerrrrrrrro issues. All highway miles. The car is well balanced. The ZF transmission is built in SC and is also used in BMWS. The maintenance on the car is low. It is a steal. Trust. I know I keep talking about it but it is the best car I ever owned. Certified pre-owned again no issues none. Just change oil, change plugs, no timing belt to worry about. Smile wash the car and be happy
Finally Scotty! You listened to me. Welcome to the Korean finest. The 2020 models are to die for.
@@titanjake8640 Korea is one of the best car makers. Long gone are the days of the Hyundai Pony and Stellar haha
These cars r so underrated! My 2011 is a pleasure to own and drive, whether i'm cruising on the highway or flogging it on the backroads. The 2009-2011 3.8s use Aisin (toyota) 6spd transmissions. Plus the non-gdi engines used pre 2011 are even more reliable than the gdi ones. A used gen is a steal if you ask me.
Scotty's pronunciation of
Hyundai = YUN-DAI
The proper pronunciation is either "Whoon day" or "Hun day",period.
Hyundai advertising in the early years pronounced the name HON DAY. Almost as if they wanted people to think that the cars were Hondas.
The real pronunciation is Hyun-Day. Both the H and the Y are pronounced
NovaResource Pronouncing Hyundai like Sunday is much better than Scotty’s way I f pronouncing it but it’s still not technically correct. Again, both the H and the Y are pronounced. HYUN-DAY
@@user-db1lc1cr3q on commercials in America they say hun-day. Maybe it sounds better or something 🤷♂️
I have a used 2012 Hyundai i30 1.4 CRDi for over 4 years now, 180k km on the clock. I'm really impressed how great it holds up, changing nothing but some regular wearable items like brakes, windshield wipers and light bulbs (Of course, regular maintenance like oil, oil filter and air filter change). They are far from luxury cars, and I don't need luxury, I need utility, a dependabe tool. And I can tell you this brand has very dependable and even nice looking vehicles that also offer great value for your money.
If you want luxury, I understand that, buy some german money pit and enjoy it, because that's what makes you happy. But If you want a day-to-day workhorse which will not break your bank account, I can honestly recommend Hyundai/KIA. They really did improve a lot from those old washing-machines that Scotty mentioned.
It isn’t a luxury? Heated and cooled driver seat, heated back seats, sunroof, 300+ hp, backup camera and parking assistance etc. how is this not luxury for a car that’s made 2009-2012? I’m not sure what you consider luxury
That Genesis is fine the valve issues are common with GDI engines around 100k tell that customer to pay for walnut shell blasting cost maybe $400, and that sweet ride will be like new, it's just gunk build up around the in take valves, get that cleaned out and the problem will be fixed.
The way things are going with Honda and Toyota recently you might be recommending Genesis and Kia's in the future their Quality has certainly improved in the past years! :)
If you like engines blowing up about 60,000 miles
Haha no way. Even in the days of Samurais, Japan is superior.
Not lately!!
@@OffTheBeatenPath_ that's the thing, even though they certainly improving overall, you have to be careful to not get one of the models with faulty engines.
I have 3 friends with kias that blew their engines. 1 Kia Soul, 2 Kia sorrento
I can’t believe the state of the interior after 100k
No kidding! The owner must be a really sweaty guy.
Yep. Germans make much better interiors.
I just bought a genesis 2020 v8 5.0 really good and nice smooth ride, but I’m still loving my 3.8 genesis sedan!! I’m keeping it hasn’t given me any problems!! Great luxury car for less money!!! Except 2020 5.0 I think it’s pricey, but all good cars ❤❤❤
Thank you!
"it's smooth just like my wife ('s Lexus)
Edgar Cardona we’re on the same wavelength
I love the car so leave me be.
First... NO you didnt
Well they are good cars for the money. May be if you change the oil more often than it states, may be the cams would last longer?
