  Most overlooked car in the US market - 2011 Hyundai Azera
  By Bob - November 22 - 2:00 am

  I had never heard of the Azera until a friend of mine with a Genesis let me drive it. I was impressed and went to the dealer to check them out, but the one thing I didnt like was RWD--thus a test drive of the Azera. It was the last of seven cars I test-drove and turned out to be just what I wanted & thousands of dollars less than I was willing to pay. All the cars I drove were either German or Japanese. My second choice was the Avalon, but didnt think it met my needs like the Azera. My Azera now has over 1000 miles on it & am truly amazed at the quality for the price. Its not often the least expensive is my favorite. It is a far superior car to the Buick I used to drive.

  My best car - 2011 Hyundai Azera
  By BERNIE - October 30 - 2:00 am

  My last cars before my azeras were Jaguar & Lexus. I just traded my 2009 azera limited for 2011 limited. I liked the 2009 so much that I wanted another. The 2011 is even smoother & faster with the 6 speed transmission. The trade in value was excellent & I am very happy. This is more of an automobile than the jag & Lexus could hope to be, and for thousands less. I test drove the sonata & Genesis. The sonata was too small & the Genesis is not as smooth & comfortable as the azera. The azera is just the finest car I have ever owned.

  Great car - 2011 Hyundai Azera
  By arthur - September 20 - 2:00 am

  Had a 2006 new azera and loved it. traded it in at 40,000 miles for the 2011. and i love the 2011 even better. took a 160 mile trip and averaged 30.2 miles per gallon. i have the nav. package and xm Sirius radio. everything is working beautiful. Im just surprised there arent more being sold. i must admit i came close to buying the 2011 sonata but went back to the azera and am not sorry although the sonata was just as beautiful.

  Just bought this car. Havent driven much yet, but so far, we love it! It is very stylish, and I like that I havent seen another on the road. Roomy, fun to drive. Lots of pick- up. Mine is loaded, so all the gadgets are very neat, especially the pop up rear window shade!
