Yep very cool. $110 a year after the first 6 months. Will you be willing to pay for it? I’m not sure if I will. I will be contemplating it all winter.

I'm not paying for it. I will miss the geo-fencing and "lock status" feature but that's about it.

To compare Genesis offers something similar for 3 years on my G70. After that you pay for which services you want to keep. All in at full price that is around $300 a year!

I only use the remote start in the winter so doubt I pay for it once the complimentary 3 years is up.

3 years is quite generous. It seems my bias against Genesis in favor of Acura my have been misplaced.

Have you had any servicing done yet and how was it?

Terdbath

I've had it since October 2019. So far only one oil change in May 2020 when it had around 4300 miles on it. Little over 5000 miles on it today. Intervals are 6000 miles or 12 months so I might not have to go back again till May 2021.

Service was done at the local Hyundai dealer it was leased from and not quite the experience you would expect from a company trying to break into the luxury segment but that aside it took about 90 minutes which is about the same time Acura takes when I took those in for scheduled maintenance.

ELIN

That's what I was afraid of. Pay the luxury price but lose the luxury experience once you start servicing. Looks like things haven't changed much since 2011 when I was considering the Genesis car before the brand was formally made into its own logo/division, etc. They really need their own facilities and staff in order to cement the brand recognition.
