Pros:
Fabulous value for the money. Great looks, comfort, and styling. Lots of standard equipment found on far more expensive vehicles. Superior sound system, quality leather and wood grain interior along with electronic tilt/telescope steering wheel. Runs and handles like a dream. Don't know how you could ask for more. If Lexus is so great why do they only have 1/2 of Hyundai's warranty? I almost bought a Lexus before I found the Azera. I would have been sick!
Cons:
A navagation system would be nice as an option. No ability to control radio stations on steering controls.
Overall Review:
I would highly recommend the Azera to anyone wanting a quality sedan without overpaying for having an "L" on the front grill rather than a "H".

Pros:
Finally I found a car worthy of getting me out of Crown Victorias. This is one sweet ride. The warranties are great! Hyundai stands behind their product. I like the fact that is has a timing chain instead of the belt that needs replacing. I keep a car over 10 years, and now I am doing it in real style. It rides and handles like a dream. Better than a BMW and you can save for retirement with the great price.
Cons:
I haven't been able to find anything wrong. Usually a new car has some sort of problem. I have been hunting for anything wrong. The car is so well built, I can't find anything wrong at all! Amazing. The only problem I have had through the whole buying experience is that they couldn't get me a black one with tan interior. Took the Steel Gray with Gray interior. Very pretty car, everyone wants to drive it [fat chance that I would let anyone have the keys ... ;) ...]
Overall Review:
Hyundai has raised the bar for all car manufacturers by building a great vehicle with tons of safety features, great ride, stability on the road, good fuel economy [it does better than the sticker folks]. I think it is time other companies MATCH the warranties of any Hyundai. If your cars are so great, stand behind them and don't make the consumer purchase extended warranties. If you build it, you should stand behind what you have created.

Pros:
Great styling, interior, options, quite and strong engine, and most importantly GREAT VALUE as always!
Cons:
This car accelerates very strong, yet braking and handling could be better. Suspension feels a bit soft but not like toyota soft.
Overall Review:
This is Lexus like car for well under $30,000! It's got VERY strong acceleration which suprised me when I was doing test drive at the dealership. I've driven a few Hyundai's before but nothing could even come close to this one. Although its handling feel a bit soft and high speed braking could be better, I can definitely rate this car a top of its class. Great value as well!

Pros:
The car looks/feels/moves like carsfrom much more expensive brands. I just did test drove the Azera and very impressed with their quality and ride quality.
Cons:
Well... Azera doesn't come with enough high tech toys yet. I ended up buying Toyota Avalon Limited with Navigation. I know I know.... Yes Yes Yes.... But I just wanted to have a car with NAV system and Azera doesn't come with it. Once you start using a NAV sytem, you know that it becomes a must-have item becuase it is so convenient.
Overall Review:
Azera is an excellent car. It was so quiet and powerful. I want to recommend the car to anyone who doesn't need NAV system. : )

| Review ID: #484639 | 10 Recommendation |
Pros:
The Hyundai Azera is the best comfortable riding car I have ever purchased. It rides better then the 2006 Lexus ES330 that my son-in-law just purchased. I broke the vehicle in like the manual calls for that is: do not drive faster than 55 miles per hour for the first 1,200 miles. I made one 400 mile trip during that time and averaged 34 miles per gallon of gasoline driving 55 MPH or less on the highway. I love the quiet motor and the luxurious feel of the overall vehicle. I just love the car and highly recommend anyone considering a new car, be sure to ride the Azera before purchasing any vehicle between $25,000 and $37,000. You might be surprised what a good deal the Azera Limited is?
Cons:
The manual indicated that the outside mirrors would lower when the gears are in reverse. My XG350L mirrors did lower. However, the mirrors of the Azera would not lower. A Hyundai representative indicated that Hyundai decided to have the outside mirrors fold back in lieu of lowering their position. The manual was published before a change could be indicated. No big thing! Otherwise, I have owned the car for two months and driven for it for 2,400 miles. Found no faults -- the car rides like a vehicle costing thousands of dollars more.
Overall Review:
Hyundai is building extremely good cars for what they sell for. I drove my XG350L for two years before I traded it in on the Azera. I had absolutely no problems with the 350. I expect very few problems with the Azera. Because of my age, the Azera will probably be the last car I own and I know it was a wise choice especially considering the Warranty.

Pros:
When I was looking for a vehicle I was considering a couple Japanese alternatives. When I went to Toyota they showed me the Avalon. Nice car but I could not believe it was priced in the mid thirties. At Hyundai the salesman showed me the Azera when I mentioned the Avalon. The Azera is everything the Avalon is but has a much more stable drive. Much more of a driver's car. The Avalon is very squishy on the road. It does not have the handling characteristics of a true roadcar. It is a Japanese Lincoln. Great for the sixtie something set but definately not for me. The Azera fits between a Beamer and the Avalon. And the standard features are unprecedented.
Cons:
No navigation options yet, but they are coming according to my rep at Hyundai.
Overall Review:
This Azera is one nice car. All the safety features standard, and amenities normally only found on vehicles MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, more expensive. All this and a ten year warranty. My congratulations to Hyundai. For once a company has finally listened to what people really want. Maybe now the Americans and Japanese will make their vehicles MORE AFFORDABLE.

Pros:
Powerful engine, LED tailights, huge trunk, confortable seats, a lot of standard safety features (8 airbags, traction, etc.)...giving a choice of black leather for all Limited trim models regardless of what color you choose
Cons:
Maybe the inteior dashboard layout...but not a such a big deal...would be great if there's Xenon headlights and navigation system...
Overall Review:
I just test drived the Hyundai Azera and I am so impressed. It is sure a Hyundai like you've never seen before, they sure know how to make cars now. It's not perfect, but it's much improved. Save thousands money than buying Lexus ES330 or Toyota Avalon or Nissan Maxima or even Acura TL.

Pros:
Fantastic acceleration, 0-60 in no time, engine sounds great, purrs like a kitten. Ride is very very smooth, this thing is SOOOO quiet, you'd swear you were in a Lexus LS430. The seats are very comfortable, I love the sound system, best I've heard in a long time ! I love my HYUNDAI !
Cons:
Headrests are a bit awkward and irritating, Saab like headrests if you ask me. A bit soft around corners.
Overall Review: Fastastic car, great looker, unbeatable warranty ! All I've got to say is, keep an eye on Hyundai, they certainly aren't what they usd to be, there are great things to come from the Koreans in the near future !

| Review ID: #483223 | 10 Recommendation |
Pros:
The interior roominess and the touches of luxury and amenities that this vehicle comes standard with in its class compares to other higher end cars, some areas exceeding higher end cars as far as standard equipment. The 2006 Azera limited Gives consumers more value for the price tag instead of paying thousands more for additional amenities that are optional on other high end cars. The ride is fairly smooth and quiet and the leather seats are very comfortable.
Cons:
The only drawback that I noticed right away is in cornering. I realize it's not designed as a sports car with sport tuned suspension{stiffer} but it has to much of a lean when negotiating curves at normal driving speeds. Improve on this and the overall ride will be excellent without the swaying motion coming out of curve.
Overall Review:
I am quite impressed by the overall quality and design of this vehicle.It is a lot of car for the price tag and I'm sure that is a plus for buyers looking for a little luxury without paying big bucks. The styling of the car is quite appealing, not eye catching like some fad cars where after while it looses it's flashy looks and you get tired looking at it. This car has a relaxing and comfortable look with a little touch of sportiness with dual chrome-tipped mufflers and 11-spoke 17"aluminum wheels.If you are in the market for a comfortable, good looking, midsize car with touches of luxury in the right places and more value and quality for you money, this is the car for you.
