Never had a car which is this quiet. Amazing.
Power
I love the power and feel of 429 Horses..
Technology and Entertainment
It has so many wonderful options available when needed.
Cons
Value
I love the price I paid for it but it's too bad it has depreciated so low. The World is not aware of this car yet. Maybe now it's called a Genesis G90 they will become aware of such a wonderful car?
Pros
Braking
Great stopping distance for a car this large and heavy, and the rotors are big enough that while you pay more, you're not eating brakes. Transmission also does a good job braking on its own in eco mode, though that's less apparent if you have low rolling resistance tires or are going downhill due to the massive weight.
Ride and Handling
Air suspension is excellent and holds up better than most, though not particularly good for bumpy concrete like you find in Texas where traditional springs do more. At lower speeds, very smooth.
Power
400+ horsepower, need I say more?
Cons
Reliability
It's very finicky with fuel and will throw codes if your fuel has too much alcohol or is of low quality. The car is extremely heavy and so front and rear suspension components were replaced due to excessive wear beyond what you'd expect for the age of the vehicle. the sunroof failed. Struts on the hood and trunk failed. The engine burns oil at an insane rate, though that's fairly common for Hyundai and even a known issue having to do with the design and manufacturing process of the engine. The paint is excessively thin and chips and scratches at the lightest touch compared to American make cars, regardless of what their marketing tells you. The automated front lighting system bugs out often if you make sharp turns and simply stops working. You often get weird gremlins with the infotainment system necessitating a quick pull of a fuse. Occasionally the window controls simply become unresponsive, even without safety controls engaged. The rear HVAC is known to have issues with blend door failure and occasionally venting extremely hot air unless you manually shift it to hot and then cold again and jam it shut on that setting.
Cabin Noise
the aerodynamics of a brick cause more wind noise than you'd expect, and sound deadening is lacking, even compared to older cars from lesser makes.
Fuel Economy
The car guzzles gasoline like a pickup truck and burns oil like the devil. You'll need to stay on top of it in order to keep things running smoothly.
