does anybody own an 06 Hyundai Azera? How do you like it??

l do not own one, but my friend is a parts manager at a Hyundai dealership, and he liked it very much. It won the JD power award for best vehicle under $35,000. Hyundai is are very good (engineering&quality), especially in the last couple of years. Take it for a test drive and see how you like it. If you get one...can l borrow it once in a while?

Cheers,

Daniel

It is freaking SWEET.

Its awesome, bought mine in early January, got an 06 Limited model & love it. If u want a large luxury car & do not want to spend $45K+ on a comparable Acura/Audi/BMW/Lexus/Infiniti then the Azera is ur secret weapon. l only paid $25,300 for my limited with the Ultimate Accessory package (that is everything) & dealers still have the 06 in stock so u should be able to get that price or better since its mid-March now. The Azera is so roomy & feature ladden, the only possible complaint is that the big 3.8L V6 does consume some gas, l only average 20-21 mpg though l only average about 30-33 mph based on the onboard computer. That big engine gives u tons of highway power though, need to pass that 18-wheeler doing 70mph, no problem getting to 90 in just seconds, l heard the top speed is 140+.

My co-workder just took me for a ride on his brand new Azera. He also offered me to test drive it & l did. l would say it is pretty spacious & comfortable overall. however, u would not find the quality in Acura or Lexus. l own both Acura TL & Lexus LS430 so l do not think Azera has ever come close to build quality, ride, ergonomics, comfort, & more importantly the reliability. BTW, it should be the time for Hyundai to come up with a nav system for such car in order to compete with others. Also it has a poor resale value compare to let is say an Accord or Camry.

l looked at this car as a replacement for my Nissan Maxima and fell in love with it. l decided to buy the Azera instead of another Maxima because not only did l save $5000, but just wanted something that not everyone else has and l think is better then the Maxima or Avalon that l test drove. Its amazing to see that Hyundai has gone from bottom of the heap to almost the top in quality this decade, currently #7 out of 36.Mercedes is dead last at 36!!!

l would say not to bad.

no would not buy a Hyundai
