I just dropped my Lucid AGT off at the Seattle Service Center. They will be replacing the windshield because of a crack caused by a rock. It is covered by my Progressive Insurance free glass replacement/repair policy. Christina, one of the Service Managers, met me with all of the service authorization paperwork completed, along with the free rental car paperwork. The rental car is a Genesis G70. Christina was welcoming, nice, helpful, considerate and very professional. It was a pleasure to interact with her. My dropping off the car and getting into the Genesis took but just a few minutes. My Lucid should be ready to pickup noonish on Thursday simply because it takes 24 hours for the glue to cure. During the replacement process, they will also have to recalibrate the cameras and sensors.
This is the first ICE I have driven since I received my Lucid last September. Before I had driven a mile, I was already missing my Lucid. It’s not that the Genesis isn’t a very nice car, it is and it gets great reviews. People love this car. However, (in my humble opinion) it just pales compared to my Lucid. My Lucid’s much quieter, the ride is much smoother, the driving is more precise and satisfying, it has much more power, the nav system is much better, the sound system is much better, it is more comfortable and luxurious, the view while driving is much better, etc., etc., etc. Plus, the one thing I really, really miss… is the one petal driving. Sigh. I really missed this feature during my drive home.
Cars are such personal items. What works for me, may not for you. Thus, please don’t let my opinion discourage you from the Genesis G70. It is a very nice car. I am very appreciative of Lucid giving it to me while they are working on my Lucid. It’s just that I really, really miss my Lucid. It is the first car I have ever owned that is therapeutic to drive. I always have a big smile on my face whenever I get home and get out of it. My brother has had a BMW Z4 for years and years and refuses to let go of it because it is therapeutic to him. I never really understood this until I got my Lucid. Now I do….And, if you have not gotten the message, I REALLY MISS MY LUCID!
