"I've driven this car across the country twice and I'm still happy with the performance and driveability. BUT the auto seems to be falling apart. Here is a list of the problems with this auto: While still under warranty, the dash cracked around the airbag. Shimmy in the steering wheel at 65 to 70 mph since new and never been able to fix. Guess what speed I usually drive? The sunroof track broke to bits, not under warranty. The automatic trunk release quit working, the key entry is very difficult to find and use, not under warranty. The power rear-view mirrors no longer work and now slowly fold to the rear, not under warranty. The faux wood finish on the steering wheel is brittle and is flaking off. All in all this auto has more problems than my 2002 Dodge work truck with 225,000 miles."

"My wife and I bought the 2008 limited used from a dealer as a certified car with 18,000 miles on it. wasn't sure until making several test drives in multiple cars. It won us over and now has about 33,000 miles. Not a hiccup. It is loaded with great features. The fuel mileage on trips is about 26 mpg, mixed driving about 24mpg. It has plenty of power. at first I didn't like the level of road noise but over time found out the original Michelin tires are a cheap version. They became nosier until I replaced at 30,000. Dealer mech noted they wouldn't last long. Now has Bridgestone Turanzas and is finally a quiet nice machine. So far no reason not to like it."

"This car has many attributes. On the other side it has almost as many down-sides. I think it is a great looking car. I really like the exterior styling and the interior styling is just a shade behind IMO. The ride of this car is an enigma. My Azera, and a few others, think it rides very harsh. However, most others think it rides like a 2 decade old GM land-yacht without much control and floats along the highway. So, opinons vary widely, or perhaps it's a lack of QC within Hyundai. Performance is great, gas mileage is much better on my car than most others, go figure, another enigma."

"I really like this car, especially as a buyer on the used car side. Hyundais have not caught on just yet regarding value for the dollar and dependability and reliability like the Toyota et al have. I choose to buy a low-mileage used vehicle and very glad I went that direction. The used car is a steal IF you can live with the very uncomfortable seats. I could hardly wait to get home from a measly 90 mile trip in order to stretch my legs and relieve my back from the pain I was getting during the drive. I also own a Toyota Highlander and let me tell you, Hyundai isn't there yet. The 7 y/o Highlander w/55K miles is much smoother, quieter, and way more comfortable than the Azera. The Azera will be great for around town jaunts to haul kids, go to dinner, movie, shopping, etc. but for the long hauls it'll be the Highlander that hauls me and my gear. There is a tremendous amount of amenities that come with this car at an unheard of price (used). I have no regrets with the Azera, just wish it had more comfortable seats."

"My 2008 Hyundai Azera is new. Actually has 1,000 miles. When turn on the air conditioner the air stinks for about 5-10 seconds. Also the gas pedal vibrates constantly from 20 mph and over."
