I'm jumping the gun on this post a bit, but driving myself crazy waiting for more news on the 2022 G70. I'm in a nice spot where I don't have to upgrade my vehicle this year, but it's increasingly looking like I'm going to. I also know I'm asking this question on a G70 forum where most answers are going to be leaning towards the G70, but I am curious for some info as I'm sure several of you debated with a similar topic before deciding on the G70. Anyway, on to my questions.
Since 2019, I've had my eyes on a G70 V6 Sport AWD as I've always loved the Genesis from it's initial release, but the lack of AWD killed it for me. I'm in Ohio and having RWD isn't a great option for my primary vehicle. I'm looking in the 50-55k range, would prefer 50, but can go to 55. My other requirements are it needs ventilated seats and a heads-up display. And my nice to have is a sub 5 second vehicle for 0-60 time. I don't really use it, but screw it, if I can have it, why not.
Anyway, I've been admiring the G70 for a couple years. I also really like the looks of the new 2021 Acura TLX, especially with the ambient lighting, but the performance is way underwhelming, but I'm hoping the Type-S engine will help that a bit. The third vehicle that I am looking at is the Audi A4. The virtual cockpit looks amazing, along with wireless apple carplay, but I know you can't really use the two together, at least for navigation. (I also looked at the 330i, but the performance isn't really where I'd want it to be)
I guess my questions for the group here are, when you guys were deciding on the G70, what other vehicles did you look at, and what was your deciding factor? Also, how have you enjoyed your G70's, and I know there are some mid-life changes coming in the 2022 version, but in the existing ones, are there any quirks you've ran into? (Like Car Play not interacting on a heads-up display, etc). Although I'm guessing most G70's are still covered under warranty, how is the service been on them and the normal maintenance code costs?
I plan to ultimately test drive all 3 once they're out. The a4 is out, the TLX type s comes out in May, and I think the 2022 G70 is due out not too far into the future, but after my current car and it's resident gremlins, I would really value any feedback from the forum as I begin to make my decision over the next couple months.
Thanks in advance!
