  • Azzy Rules - 2006 Hyundai Azera
    By -

    Traded from a Buick Rendezvous because driving it 80 miles round trip to work was too much $$$ for gas. While looking at Sonatas, a salesman said "check out the Azera, it has as much space as a 7 Series BMW" I sat in it and was instantly hooked. Bought my Azera used with 18K miles, Im up to 45K and loving every driving minute. I get 29-33 MPG highway and 20-24 city. Idling will drive that down. With the possible exception of my 96 Buick Riviera, its the best ride Ive ever had.

  • Great Car - 2006 Hyundai Azera
    By -

    Excellent car, my 3rd Hyundai, love the power and gas mileage. 22 MPG around town, 29 MPG highway. Great leg room, five adults can ride comfortably. Holds the road well and has excellent power. Better insulation would help with road noise.

  • Better than expected - 2006 Hyundai Azera
    By -

    Had 13,000 when purchased. Complained about possible suspension issues, Hyundai replaced all 4 struts and shocks. Had some minor problems that were taken care of under warranty. Mileage has been very good, well over 25 mpg. Had a Toyota Avalon and Mercedes e class, but this is much better car for the money. I am 6,4, but have plenty of room. I get a lot of "what kind of car is this", it looks great. Will be anxious to see the new Genesis.

  • Hope they can fix or wont buy another. - 2006 Hyundai Azera
    By -

    Impressed by the fit, finish, and options for the money. Didnt like the way the transmission shifted from day one. Under light throttle at 20-30 mph it cant seem to decide what gear it should be in. Also, torque converter lock up frequently wont release under load on a grade without first forcing a 5-4 downshift. More recently, I have been experiencing an intermittent but pronounced bucking/jerking under light load at 25-40 mph. It appears to be related to torque converter lock up problems. Engine is noisy (probably piston slap) until fully warmed up. Suspension transmits a lot of noise over rapid bumps such as rail road tracks or rough pavement. Tire noise is apparent on smooth roads.

  • "Azera" Best Buy in its Class - 2006 Hyundai Azera
    By -

    Extremely smooth drive...plenty of interior room, even for my 64" frame...features that are standard would be optional in other models in the same class...milage off a little, however, for its size, averaging between 18 and 25 mpg...the smartest buy Ive made in many years...

  • Azera Rocks - 2006 Hyundai Azera

    Had it for 2 days and it drives like a dream. The gas mpg seem to be doing better than advertised too. On a short trip through the mountains on the freeway, the display said my average mpg was 33.3.

  • WOW!!! Way to Go!! - 2006 Hyundai Azera
    By -

    I dropped my BMW for this car and chose it over Infinity G35, Chrysler 300M, and Cadillac CTS, and have no regrets! For the money, this car has just as much comfort, style, power, and overall enjoyable ride. Whats funny is most people dont know what it is, they dont expect it to be a Hyundai.. I get guesses like, Acura, Audi, Jaguar and Lexus...so far. I dont think it has as much exterior styling as some of the other cars I was looking for, but It makes up for it in Interior. NEG:.

  • Without a doubt Hyundai is Number 1 - 2006 Hyundai Azera
    By -

    Country and rough roads were no match for the suspension in my Azera.This car straightened out the curves and leveled the dips on the old country roads. On the highway or state roads I had plenty of passing power.Interior is georgeous with plenty of room.The leather seats were full size with plenty of support and adjustments to please almost anyone.Fit and finish on this Azera was top-notch.Radio and heater controls very easy to use,the size of the buttons and control knobs were designed to fit the average size hand of a male owner. Plastic material in the interior felt like it belonged in a vehicle costing far more than the Azera.Looking forward to having this Azera for a long long time.

  • Had enough of it - 2006 Hyundai Azera
    By -

    Like other reviewers have said, all I ever hear from the service dept. is "that is normal". The transmission in this car is terrible. It never knows what gear to be in. It has slipped on many occasions especially after getting off a highway onto city streets. The service dept. even told me that if my wife drives different than me than the car will not learn how to shift properly!! Who would make a car like that? My wife will not even drive it any more, she hates the transmission that much. Too bad because most everything else is good. Getting rid of it soon.

  • I have 2 2006 Azera Limiteds - 2006 Hyundai Azera
    By -

    I bought my first 2006 Azera Limited brand new in November, 2006. My parents bought a used 2006 Azera Limited in Spring, 2007. I bought another used 2006 Azera Limited with 14,000 miles in February, 2007. I have owned 3 Cadillac DeVilles and 2 Cadillac Sevilles since 1995. Although the Azera does not have the Cadillac ride, I still like it better than the Cadillacs. The gas mileage in town has been around 17 but on the road I get mid 20s. Obviously, I am sold on the Azera Limited. I hope the resale values are better in a few years. I look forward to the introduction of the Genesis this summer.
