  His Seat Dont Fit - 2006 Hyundai Azera
  By MaryLou - August 2 - 1:26 pm

  I bought this car and I love most everything about it, but I have a problem. My husband hates my drivers seat, he can not get it to go back far enough. I took it to the dealer, two times and they say its just the way it is, but after reading all the reviews, no one has complained about the seat, so that tells me, my dealer just blew me off or my husband is the only man who cant fit behind the wheel. I like this car and most everything about it, but I dont want to do all the driving, when we go on a trip. Can someone help?

  Better than expected - 2006 Hyundai Azera
  By BILL IN SO. CALIF - April 26 - 12:19 pm

  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 D. Hughes - April 24 - 3:28 pm

  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 Problems - 2006 Hyundai Azera
  By LTG3122 - February 20 - 1:45 pm

  Gas mileage less than 12 mpg city told car should have at least 10K miles before you get good mileage. Had car in 3 times told everything normal, "thats what you should expect". Combined city/highway only 17 with >50% expressway. Minor items: accelerator very sensitive on starting doesnt shift to highest gear til 40 mpg (told normal) keys bump against steering column no coin holder for tolls, parking meters light beige interior shows dirt readily.

  Impressive Hyundai - 2006 Hyundai Azera
  By Kevin - October 10 - 10:56 am

  Ive owned my Azera almost 9 months and have enjoyed every minute. I was prepared to buy an 07 Sonata but after test driving some leftover 06 Azeras on the lot, I was hooked. I ended up paying about $1200 more than I would have for a new Sonata and got a heck of a lot more car. People cant believe its a Hyundai. Its not a tight "sporty" ride. Handling is a bit drifty, but its a bigger, softer car. BUT, with 263 ponies under the hood, this car is NOT shy. Styling is sharp and contemporary. Not one "cheap" element to this vehicle. I just dont understand why Hyundai has so heavily marketed the Sonata when this gem is out there. Just test drive it!

  M.P.G. Disaster - 2006 Hyundai Azera
  By mister bob - September 20 - 3:03 am

  I have my new Azera about 5 weeks now. Im retired so I dont do alot of driving. Its a good thing beacuse so far the gas mileage is horrible. On my second fill-up I put 19.6 gals. in the tank after going 271 miles. You do the math. I hope after the break in period my mileage will get better. I traded in a Cadil. Deville that got better MPG than that. Otherwise the car delivers all that was advertised so far.Would have traded sun shade for tilting down mirrors. They spoiled me.

  Fast, but you pay for the power - 2006 Hyundai Azera
  By fishingsocprof - September 15 - 1:46 am

  We have put about 26K on our 2006 Azera SE. Bought it for about 22K. Lots of zip but overall gas mileage right about 21.5. Have had some issues with it (a/c compressor overvoltage, rear windows not going down, crack in dash) but dealer has been very good about fixes. As with most dealers, service dept tries to make a lot of money. Saying that I had to flush and fill transmission at 30K to keep warranty. 175 dollar deal. Easy to change trans fluid yourself on this car. Finally pinned them down and flush/fill not required to meet warranty, just drain and refill. Keep receipts for trans oil, of course and use special Hyundai oil like the book says.

  wont start - 2006 Hyundai Azera
  By judy - June 19 - 1:08 am

  I was very pleased with this car at first. After 4 months, all of a sudden the car wouldnt start. The A/C also wasnt working right. The dealer kept it a week . They replaced a switch for the a/c & another switch for the neutral disable . Well, about a month later, its not starting again. Im very discouraged.

  Poor company response to safety defect - 2006 Hyundai Azera
  By sedan - May 25 - 6:09 am

  The head lights are of poor design and make driving the car unsafe at night. I drive emergancy vehicles and have been trained for over 26 years. This car makes it so you over drive your headlights at night and is unsafe. The company response to the problem is very poor and not owner friendly. They do not seen to care about the safety of their buyers.
