So close
I had high hopes for this car and this brand in general. After a year with the car, the concessions genesis made to remain competitive in the segment have become very apparent, and some of them are hard to live with in a daily driver. Harsh downshifts in any drive mode, bad gas mileage, soft paint make driving this thing in traffic kind of a drag. The interior has no ambient lighting and is noisy. I don’t mind the harder suspension, or the amount of feedback through the steering wheel, these things are actually positives for me, but they don’t matter in a daily commute. This is a great open road car, but I’m having a hard time justifying its existence in city traffic.
