almost Teutonic front seats see full Hyundai Genesis review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
First, I am a tall person and the seatbelt height adjustment does not go high enough, so if an accident should occur I believe that the shoulder belt will slip off. Also, the seats could be built more comfortable, more sporty. see full Hyundai Genesis review |
