2011 Hyundai Equus consumer reviews

This is my third Hyundai. Not that I'm a Hyundai guy, but they have proved to be well built, reliable, easy to work on and not too expensive. I've worked my way up their product line, for sure, starting with the Accent, to an Elantra, and, now this Equus. So far I'm really impressed with this car. It drives very nice, has lots of power and the equipment list is extensive. The Michelin conti tires are loud, so in about 20k more miles I'll search for quieter tires. There is some exclusivity with this car, you rarely see them. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase of this Equus. (eck-whis)

I have owned Volvo's and MB's, as well as 4 earlier Hyundai models. I've purchased this car about 1 1/2 months before this post and had the privilege to put it on the road (DC-FL) to evaluate it both locally and long distance. I am completely impressed by this car's performance and living up to the expectation I've come to have with Hyundai products. It was well worth the money for what is provided in a luxury car. Looking forward to what will come next from Hyundai.

I must say, this is a wonderful automobile. Hyundai has really surprised me with this one! We do not know much about Hyundai and their ability to produce world-class first rate automobiles, but they are coming out of the shadows. In Korea it's common that they produce such vehicles, but to the world-at-large, perception tends to be the determining factor. Well, that is being put to bed. Having said that, I must say that I am a Mercedes enthusiast. But I must be fair and remain cognizant that this is not a Mercedes Benz, and I must judge the vehicle on its own merit. That being said, Hyundai missed it when they put Continental tires on this vehicle. They are very noisy. If the vehicle is silent, then let it be silent. Otherwise, perception is the only enemy with this vehicle thus far. There's nothing left to want with this vehicle. Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, move over! There's a new neighbor that commands respect.

i've owned two luxury cars this one blows them away. i am not a mb person, and evreryone drives a bmw, this equus is the VEHICLE!!

I know the BMW is a fine car,I considered it myself until I couldn't find one with under 40,000 miles for under $45,000 so I moved to the next best thing which was the Hyundai Equus with 17,000 miles for $53,000.....Great deal with 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty.

i just bought this vehicle 2dys ago after months of research an test drives this is by far a winner...unlimited compliments since i have driven it home it has all the bells an whistles with out the price of the other models in this class. please dont be fooled by the name hyundai this vehicle is awesome why spend 20-25k for a name? welp im finna go cruising!

As a long time Lexus owner of the LS models, I switched to the Equus in Dec. on 2010. The package is extensive and the massage chair is wonderful. Few suggestions would be to put more features in the passenger side seat, ie. lumbar support and ability to totaly recline on long trips. Lots of looks and questions as to What IS THis? Don't see many on the road which is nice as well. Overall, great value compaired to the market.

First Luxury Car Purchase. No Regrets. Hard to Put into words how impressive this Automobile is in Every way. Most Quiet, Smooth Driving, Comfortable Car I've Ever Ridden in. People go out of their way to get a peek, or ask "What Kind of Car is that?" Can't Go Wrong Buying an Equus!!

If you have ever driven down a "rutted" road and feel the car move from side to side randomly, that is how the Equus performs at speeds 50 mph and above. At 70+mph with gusty cross winds it becomes difficult to hold the car into driving lane. After many attempts to correct this problems, which was confirmed by the dealers head mechanic, the Service Manager and the District Manager, I finally gave up and returned the car to the dealer as I felt it was hazardous to drive this car in winds. I believe Hyundai put the suspension system from the Genesis into the Equus, which is a heavier car, longer wheel base and taller, and thus this type of performance.

This car exceeds expectations in Performance, Comfort, and Value. One thing to add is that the car comes complete; there are no options to confuse the buyer into wondering whether he/she should have gotten the gold plated rims or not.
