2009 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 Long Term Update 2

While many luxury cars subject their owners to pricey maintenance costs, the Genesis 4.6, thus far, has been downright thrifty: only $46.87 for a 7500-mile oil change, full inspection, and tire rotation.

"To call the Genesis 'the best Hyundai ever' wouldn't be at all unreasonable," states Web producer Kirill Ougarov. "Aside from hard plastics in areas that will rarely be felt by the occupants -- a cost-cutting measure but hardly the worst offense in the industry -- the interior is filled with comfortable, quality materials. The center interface works well and is no iDrive, though the knob is almost the same diameter as a Big Gulp. Besides the interior, the big V-8 provides plenty of grunt and a properly subdued soundtrack for a car that can be called an E-Class for C-Class money."
