    No help at all

    I brought this junk 3yrs ago and every since I have had it it has been in and out the shop. The dealer ship knew the transmission was going out but didn't tell me until after my Warranty was out. Every since I had the transmission put in it's running hot and I have taken it yo 3 different Hyundai dealership And they keep taking my money but no one is fixing the car I've taken it to Pinehurst North Carolina Florence South Carolina and now this week I'll be dropping it off in Fayetteville North Carolina if if I don't give fix this time I would be right in the whole review on the Hyundai Azera and the Service u receive when u got to the dealership. I will never Recommend or purchase another Hyundai. I have also had it in the shop Multiple times for the pulling to the left when u stop. And every time they take my money and say it's good. Next year this thing will be paid off and I'm going to get rid of it quickly

    I have usually had sports cars, but with the azera

    I have always own sports cars I lost my G37 sport in the flood in a 2017 I owned it so I went out and bought a Hyundai sonata sport had it for a year and a half and was getting an oil change at the Hyundai dealership and I do study cars for there reliability,performance. An overall styling. Well while I was there getting an oil change this red azera pulls up on the used lot the rest is history I had to have that car no matter what and I am so happy I did I've had it now over 2 years not one problem and I detail cars also on the inside and outside so I have turned it into an unbelievable driving machine would not trade this car in for anything else

    I love everything about this vehicle

    There is nothing that I don't like about my Azera. In fact, since Genesis split from Hyundai, I don't understand why Hyundai doesn't bring back the Azera. My only issue is the identified resale and trade-in values... VERY LOW for a vehicle with so many amenities and such good performance. If it's only because it's a Hyundai, I may have to reconsider the brand.

    A lot more car than I imagined it could be

    I've always had Fords and wouldn't drive anything else, until now. I've read online reviews about Hyundai's and Genesis so as I wanted to go from an Explorer I'd take a look at these. I happened across the Azera Limited and honestly forgot all about looking at a Genesis. What a car! I now know why they stopped making them, it was pulling from Genesis!

    By far..the best car I've owned..

    The style..power..relibility..handling is better than cars costing thousands more..there is room for 5 comfortable and the trunk handles both sets of hold clubs and a lot more.

    Plush and capable sedan

    Interior drops my jaw for the price. Quality feel everywhere you touch and every button you press. Almost 300 hp pulls this 4,800 lb vehicle with authority without noticeable torque steer. Tons of leg room front and back, huge trunk, and I love the styling. Infinity sound system is great. The one thing I would change is the center channel speaker on the dash is overly dominate, especially on XM radio. There is the normal fade and balance adjustments, but now way to adjust the center channel that I have found in the manual or through the settings. I don't know what I would have to complain about if it weren't for that. Love this car!

    Vehicle is smaller that my 2006.

    This vehicle has a smaller trunk and the interior is small as well. The interior was fine except that it wasn't the right color for me.

    luxury on a budget

    purchased this with 11k on it a year ago and haven't been dissapointed at all. Styling - Beautiful styling inside and out with curves, leather and HID lights up front and LEDS almost all the way around. Basically a stretched Sonata with a V6 in it so plenty of leg room Features -Car is jam packed with features (Even with the base model). Outside everything but the running lights are LED and the V6 is standard across the board. Inside there are too many features to list but blue link, nav, leather with heat/ac seats, cooled glovebox are the main ones. Blind spot definitely comes in handy and everything is seamlessly controlled through simple intuitive controls around the car. Performance - This thing is FWD with a V6 in it. Things is a monster under the hood and it drives very well down the highway. bumps are very well dampened and the car has a remarkable turning radius for a car this size. Blind spots are minimal and shift points are very smooth with normal driving and tend to be alot more vocal at higher rpm's. This car wasn't really designed for a rally course or the drag strip so keep that in mind. Overall perspective -I would give this car a solid 8/10 rating with the only negative remarks being the slight lack of power for a v6 motor and I'd like it to be tuned a little stiffer and be more performance oriented. Other than that this is a solid choice and I can't wait to see how Genesis puts this car back out under a different badge...
