The 3.3T Sport is the cheapest way into the Genesis G70’s cracking 3.3-litre V6 engine (272kW/510Nm), and sits below the Ultimate ($79,950) and Ultimate Sport ($79,950) trim levels.

The Sport ($72,450) gets adaptive dampers, Brembo brakes and a LSD as standard, but also arrives with LED head- and tail-lights, an 8.0-inch touchscreen that's both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-equipped, heated leather seats up front, wireless charging, dual-zone climate control and a 7.0-inch TFT screen in the driver's binnacle. 

The G70 scored the maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating, arriving with seven airbags, as well as blind-spot monitoring, AEB that works with cars and pedestrians, lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and active cruise. You also get a reversing camera, parking sensors front and rear, a driver fatigue monitor and a tyre-pressure monitor.

Andrew Chesterton should probably hate cars. From his hail-damaged Camira that looked like it had spent a hard life parked at the end of Tiger Woods' personal driving range, to the Nissan Pulsar Reebok that shook like it was possessed by a particularly mean-spirited demon every time he dared push past 40km/h, his personal car history isn't exactly littered with gold. But that seemingly endless procession of rust-savaged hate machines taught him something even more important; that cars are more than a collection of nuts, bolts and petrol. They're your ticket to freedom, a way to unlock incredible experiences, rolling invitations to incredible adventures. They have soul. And so, somehow, the car bug still bit. And it bit hard. When "Chesto" started his journalism career with News Ltd's Sunday and Daily Telegraph newspapers, he covered just about everything, from business to real estate, courts to crime, before settling into state political reporting at NSW Parliament House. But the automotive world's siren song soon sounded again, and he begged anyone who would listen for the opportunity to write about cars. Eventually they listened, and his career since has seen him filing car news, reviews and features for TopGear, Wheels, Motor and, of course, CarsGuide, as well as many, many others. More than a decade later, and the car bug is yet to relinquish its toothy grip. And if you ask Chesto, he thinks it never will.
