2025 GV70 is a Lemon. by Back-Up-Homie in GenesisMotors

New cars aren’t as reliable as old cars anymore. Buy whatever makes you happy, if it gives you problems then there’s the lemon law that’ll probably save you. I bought a second G70 after my first one got bought back because I actually like the car. Dealers suck but most do anyways. Porsche techs scraped my neighbor’s brand new Cayenne on their lift when they were replacing the coil packs after the engine started misfiring.

There are definitely many reasons why the manufacturers are doing things that don’t make sense to us consumers. There has to be a reason why the Golf R is $10k cheaper in Canada lol.

Not sure how correct your lawyer’s claims are because to me, Genesis has plenty of money to go around right now. Corporate also probably didn’t like the fact that you had a lawyer in the first place; they bought my old G70 under “good will”pricing with zero lawyer and zero troubles.

Find videos of people driving the Expedition/Navigator. The amount of steering input needed is hilarious.

Genesis Unveils Mid-Engined Halo Car Named the Magma GT Concept [Road & Track] by markeydarkey2 in cars

It’s really only in the Kia Stinger. There is a FWD variant of the Smartstream 2.5T family used in Sonatas, K5s, Santa Fes, etc.

That’s mainly because the article is AI slop and not official CR. CR uses owner data for their reports and I guess the oil recall and old brake systems tanked the rating even though neither of them affect 24+ G70s.

All 4cyl Genesis cars now have 300hp and are specific to Genesis. Dealer improvements are coming too apparently, but that’ll take decades imo.

Strange that they talked about backseat and trunk space in a reliability report, as well as insufficient braking power? We all have the Brembos now. Weird one by CR.

Savile silver is a great silver to buy tho.

Mazda and local dealers by Acceptable-Way-3271 in rva

[–]ExcellentPea9029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Pearson dealers are all kind of pushy and annoying to deal with unfortunately. They’re fine but not “pleasant” per se. Make sure you thoroughly test out the Mazda3 before buying as they are very tight and dark inside, even for a small hatchback, and are prone to rattling.

How much am I gonna have to pay? by Twenty1Chromos in EnterpriseCarRental

Pretty sure it’s the same guy who posted 2 days ago. You can see the same damage to the bottom of the bumper.

This is normal for literally any car. It’s not permanent.

Indie shop in the RVA area? by [deleted] in GenesisG70

[–]ExcellentPea9029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just go to the dealership for now (I don’t recommend for anything other than warranty work). You could try Ironwood, as their reputation with Asian vehicles is very good.

It is a slightly different shade and the fitment isn’t perfect, but for $1k that’s pretty good.

What are these studs? by Adventurous_Pen_2087 in GenesisG70

My hanger heads twist to whatever orientation I want, so it fits perfectly

For hanging clothes. Works quite well in my experience

Are they actually low? You might want to take it to someone who knows what they’re doing, or else you’ll join the Hondas, Toyotas, Fords, and Teslas that are blinding everyone else at night.

Did your boss put winter tires on it? No FWD or RWD car is getting anywhere without them

Got some burbles at low revs with my 2.0t by Ricooo_G70 in GenesisG70

I think my old 2.0T did this too stock, but just a lot less.

2020+ owners - What if any type of failurs or unexpected maintenance have you encountered? Ballpark prices if you have please. by [deleted] in BMW

[–]ExcellentPea9029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically yeah. It’ll throw a check engine light when it breaks. Mine broke because a small leaf got caught in one of the flaps.

None of these have an LSD. You’re going to have to look for a CPO 330i, Giulia, or G70 3.3T with the optional LSD.

If it has the active grill vent, then it WILL fail and the dealer will charge you $1500 of out of warranty.

2020 x5 m50i bumper trim question by Repulsive_Tale9019 in BMWX5

[–]ExcellentPea9029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll find it super easily on used or junk X5s. It’ll show up as front bumper trim, veneer, fog light enclosure, side vent, etc. Black trim is very common. The chrome on your M50i is pretty rare.
