Genesis Halifax

Although I loved my Mercedes C300 I couldn't stop coming back to the G70 when it was time to move into a new lease in the summer of 2018. At the end of the day it was more car for less money. After 1.5 years of owning it, I have no doubt I made the right decision. The car is simply awesome and the service is like nothing I have experienced before. I dealt with Travis Fanning on the purchase and Josh Boudreau since. Both have been exceptional and gone beyond my expectations. It seems like almost every week someone stops me to ask about the car and I can't help but rave about the car and the owner experience. I highly recommend giving them a chance..... you won't be disappointed!

For context, my last 3 cars were a BMW 328xi, BMW 435xi and an Audi S4. All all wheel drive. All great cars. Recently I was thinking about my next move and found myself constantly cranking my neck every time a Genesis G70 went by - but I didn’t know that’s what it was. I kept thinking it was a new BMW until I saw it up close. After realizing who it was, I reached out to Mike at Genesis to see what the car was all about. I was introduced to Josh, given a tour of the car and told I could take it for the weekend.

I bought the car the following week - so you know I was impressed. Here’s why:

It’s fast. Faster than my S4 - which I had a hard time believing at first. The tech is impressive and simple: heads up display, Apple car play, wireless charging, a trunk that opens when I stand behind it, heated and cooled seats, side mirrors that unfold when I approach the car, and the thing can practically drive itself with adaptive cruise control and lane assist. My point - it had all the tech I was use to in a BMW and more. I had no idea. It even comes with an app (I love apps) so you can start the car remotely, lock or unlock, find the damn thing if you can’t remember where it is and even set the settings for what happens when you start it up. And on top of all that, it looks damn good!

It gets better - all the warranty and service you’d expect, but they’ll come to you. They’ll bring you a car to use while yours is in the dealership and bring it back when it’s ready. They’ve figured out a way to make owning this car super easy.

So I bought it. It was easy. I traded my S4 and felt like I was getting a lot more car and yep - was paying less for it.

Honestly, until now I’ve never really looked outside the brands I was use to. Nobody really gave me a reason to.

The car is a beauty. Mike and Josh were super great to work with and although part of me keeps waiting for “the catch”, there isn’t one. The folks at Hyundai have figured something out with this new brand of car and I’m not afraid to say I’m loving it. If you’re like me and likely care more than you should about the logo ornament on the hood, you’ll get over it pretty quick. Your only issue then will be constantly explaining to people what the car is when they ask. And they do. A lot.

Thanks guys - glad I found you!

I recently bought a 2020 Genesis G70 3.3T Sport from Genesis Halifax. As I don't live in the Halifax area, all my communications and sales' negotiations were done by phone. The two gentlemen I dealt with were Michael Currie, the General Manager and Josh Beaudreau, the Genesis Experience Manager.

Dealing with the sales/service experience first, I found these two gentlemen to be very professional, courteous and efficient. While this would be expected when they were trying to sell you a Genesis, this positive experience continued after I bought the car and they quickly responded to any phone queries
I had about the vehicle. It was one of the best sales' interactions I have had.

Regarding the car itself, I traded my Genesis G80 for the G70 and up to that time I believed the G80 to be the best car I ever owned. However, based on my driving style and preference, the G70 is in a different league altogether and I look forward to driving it every day. It is quite an impressive machine and as it is the only one in the area I live amongst the many Mercedes, BMW's and Audis, I get a lot of attention and positive comments.
