Genesis G70 AWD 3.3T Sport - Discount AMG - TestDrive | Everyday Driver 

Sounds pretty good. I'd probably get this over the German competition as well

What sucks about this car is that there is no mood lighting in the cabin. A Elantra has that

I almost picked this car when I was car shopping too. Great power - intoxicating, even, and super nice stitching in the interior. The style is unique but perhaps not my cup of tea. I see these on the road a lot and think "Wow, it's unique." I ended up with an IS 350 F Sport instead, mainly due to the seating position and the feeling of solidity in that car. Yeah it's slower than the G70, but it sounds better and is the only NA premium sport sedan these days. But I still think about the G70 sometimes - it was really a close call.

The issue with the current design is its fitted on the previous years mold. So it’s a bit ‘off,’ the next years redesign will no doubt look better.

@@BeyondLumination Exactly, all the other Genesis models like g70 upcoming g90 gv70 gv80 all are on the next generation for Genesis with better design tech and the new 3.5l engine and not the 3.3t

v accurate

Me too. People finally catching on. And I feel it will only keep growing. I love the look of your 2021 I torn between the two. Both beautiful cars. We love them so much the wife got a gv70 to match my g70 lol

TLX is heavier, slower and FWD based - not in the same league, except for the price. Q50 is ancient and at this point it's rather a living reminder of what a waste Infiniti has become ('11 m37 owner here). S60 is kinda similar to TLX, except it's more of a luxury rather then sports product. Gulia is the only real comparison here, but to get that QV you'll have to go almost +50% of G70 price. You'll get much more performance though, but that's in AMG/M territory.

what happen to your tranny

Sorry to hear. Your car is still relatively new and already with a transmission problem. 😢 I honestly want to buy a G70 but I’m concerned about its reliability.

Congrats. I really wanted Siberian ice but couldn't find it with the black and red stitching interior. I almost pulled the trigger on Alta white but my wife just bought an Alta white gv70 so I didn't want 2 white genesis' lol. When I saw the halasan green I fell in love and went with that color but siberian ice was my first choice

Glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for watching!

I really want to pick one up but I hate paying car note😅

I just brought home my 2023 g70 3.3 sport prestige and I'm in love. I'm still breaking it in but even between 2k and 4k rpms it's so fun to drive. I got the dealer down to $50,345 and couldn't be happier.

Giulias are beautiful as well, especially the Quadrifoglio. Have they worked out the electronic gremlins in the car yet? I was actually going to purchase a used Quadrifoglio years back but I heard a lot of horror stories.

Glad you found us and like what we do! Thank you for watching!

My is350 F sport is sick i am watching this video because i wanna get that extra hp and torque good to know from a former lexus owner

lmao 20 hp? is this from your butt dyno 🤣

Glad to have you with us and enjoying what we do. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

Same and the Stinger has a more youthful look where ass the genny is more business class and sleek styling

I’m kinda biased towards the Arteon honestly

Arteon is better looking than both I drove a stinger and a g70 g70 has WAY better steering feel

I love that about mine too. Especially coming from a giant turd. Sorry, I misspelled Land Rover.

Hey - how is the fuel economy? What are you averaging daily driver wise?

Glad to have you with us. We have reviewed the Stinger on camera, just not the 2022. We hope you've seen that original review. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

Negative brand stereotypes?

It wasn’t a good manual though, like a Honda. It was clumsy and imprecise. And I hate how they only gave us the option in the 4 banger.

The complaints about the manual are overblown. I have a 2020 manual and love it. Is it perfect? Nope. But you can’t beat what it offers, especially for the price. I’m sad to say I’ll be trading it for a new M4 manual in a month once it’s delivered. It’ll def be a step up, but it’ll be bittersweet as well.

why trade in? you already know they are lowballing your shit to flip it. Might as well have sold private

I wanted one as well. Got the Mazda3 Turbo instead.

@@layne4376 "Is It A Driver's Car? A car might be executed well, but if it leaves you with a sense of "meh," is it still a good car? Most people would say, "Yes, of course." And we agree. But sometimes that isn't quite enough to satisfy, especially when we've come to expect a level of personality from Mazda products. Instead of feeling alive and on its toes, the 2021 Mazda 3 Turbo feels sedate. The brake pedal is mushy; instead of initial bite coming right near the top of the pedal's travel, you find an inch or so of travel before the binders affect much deceleration. This dulls the driving experience and lowers confidence in the car's reflexes. True hot hatches have sharp responses and feedback to tell you they were developed in part by beating them within an inch of their mechanical lives, so as to to make them as engaging and entertaining as possible. But that's not present here; in fact, it feels like a thick layer of latency-exaggerating rubber has worked its way into the Mazda's nooks and crannies.” MotorTrend on the 3 turbo 😆😂😂 "On the whole, the Sonata N Line is truly excellent. In fact, the result of all the work Hyundai and its N Line team did is so impressive that anything less than a BMW M3 or Audi RS5 would have the devil's own job of shaking you loose on a twisty bit of back road. You can't say that about a Camry TRD. So is this hot Hyundai hot enough? For most, the answer is an emphatic yes. We just know it's only a few parts and some N special sauce shy of something game changing.”- M/T Bro the Mazdas AWD system still provides less grip on a skid pad. As far as the way a car drives “sedate” isn’t superior “chuckle"

@@layne4376 When you’re talking about the performance version of something- the stats and drive do matter. But I guess you missed the hw assignment. Chuckle. 😂

@@layne4376 short bus lolol 😂 😂 bro you’re butt hurt 😂 😂

Yeah, I couldn’t have tolerated the misspelling.

@@eriknephrongfr8847 lol, obviously a typo..

Congrats. I just brought home my 2023 3.3 rwd sport prestige in halasan green. Most dealers didn't want to budge on the sticker but I got lucky and got 1 dealer to offer incentives and I parlayed that with another dealer that had the color I wanted. I got mine for 50,345 which was 5k off the sticker. I absolutely love it just hope I don't regret not waiting for the 2024 lol

It's faster than a GNX, too.

High cost in the UK. Better suited to the US

Fuel consumption is actually not bad, it's very similar to my old C300. The problem is the gas tank is on the smaller side.

Yep, now I want to see Stinger vs G80 vs 5 series vs Audi5/6 vs E series but we may cross into a price where you can get a EV with greater interior space, cargo and great performance. Choices, choices, choices.:)

Just brought home my 2023 3.3 rwd sport prestige and on the ride home from the dealer I noticed the terrible gas mileage lol but I did get 22mpgs lol. But I didn't expect a twin Turbo to be fuel efficient tho

You are blind if you “haven’t seen anything on the road to match it.” Sounds like you’re just trying to justify your purchase.

Tell it again. = )

looks darker white in direct sun, light blue indirect sun, light grey in shade, darker grey at night. Like have 4 cars in one!

2 channels total. This one and our original "Everyday Driver" channel. The approach is a bit different on each one. Glad you found us here.

As a previous 2017 is350 owner and current 2020 G70 3.3t owner. The Lexus is better built, feels higher quality, and more solid. The Lexus dealer experience is worlds ahead of a Hyundai dealer. Ventilated seats and power are better on the G70 vs is350. The lane assist on the G70 vs my is350 is much better, G70 almost drives itself, pretty cool. But between the IS500 and g70, I’d go with the IS500

@@closg9309 Thanks! This is helpful. As much as I'd like the IS500, in my area, their price is inflated at over $15K MSRP. G70 3.3T prices are more fair thus the logical choice right now. Would def. scoop up an IS500 if they dip under MSRP.

@@philhenderson3516 Late to the party here but the G70 has more useable power. I drove the IS500 and it's a really good looking car but I found the power to be like a light switch. You either had it floored to go fast or it would feel like a dog... Also - rwd only. The G70 is AWD and way less $$.

@@closg9309 The Lexus V8 is way more expensive than the G70 top trim...

I'm sure the Lexus has more room in the back vs this and of course it's gonna be more reliable.

We have, in fact before even drove the G70 the first time: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2sWXveYvhCY.html Hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching!

It's a setting that you can turn off (I did) so the seats stay in the configuration you want no matter the drive mode.

I actually opt for not having the 3D cluster. Test drive a GV70 with the 3D cluster, you will find a little strange black box jutting out of the cluster with two red dots, it just doesn't flow well with the cluster, looks like it was implemented last second. Once they implement that eye tracking software flush into the cluster, then I will complain.

Agree fully, Canadian pricing is even more aggressive than in the US. I just moved from a Cadillac CTS 3.6 AWD to a ‘23 G70 3.3T AWD Sport Prestige ( called “Sport” in Canada) Savile Silver ext with Seville Red in. Loving it so far!!

I agree with you somewhat. They def should have put the 2.5 in base G70. But the 3.3tt is butter smooth and is a beast.the 3.5tt only makes 10hp more it makes like 23lb ft tq more. The new motors do have port injection too which really helps with carbon buildup. But when tuners get a hold of them they’ll really take advantage of the port injection.

@@Tsand4 it's not about numbers. It's that one is legacy, another is fresh and the one to stay and improve. As simple as that.

@@rosgoncharuk2403 I guess you could say legacy I mean the motor isn’t really that old. Been around since 2017 I think first came in G80 sport.

@@rosgoncharuk2403 All ICE is legacy and especially with Genesis. The 3.3T is a beast and isn't going away in the G70 until it goes electric in a couple years. Then the 3.5T will be gone too... so your point is kinda moot.

I haven’t experienced any turbo lag-I have 2023 g70 3.3t RWD fully loaded…also the 376 lb ft torque comes on early in rev range at 1300 rpms.
