Azera vs. XG3ooL

The new Azera is a real performer. I came from an XG300L (which was stolen or I would still have it), to the Azera which is a better road car and much more responsive to the throttle & less "float" at high way speeds. The one sour note to an otherwise fine new model is the atrocious gas milage. I'm told by Hyundai, it should improve with additional milage.That said, I really think Hyundai has a new winner.(would appreciate input on others milage)

Great Cheap First Car

My girlfriend and I bought this car used with 141k on the odm back in September 2020. It was our first car. Thankfully we bought the car just before the chip shortage affected the used car prices and we snagged it for $3k. The used car salesman was actually very honest and straightforward, and he even offered and performed free maintenance on a few problems the car had from the get-go (who does that???). Speaking of which, the car from the get-go did not have a working parking brake, and the problem was not permanently fixable for any reasonable price, so every inspection we had to have a “temporary fix”. Other problems the car had the whole time we had it were driver’s side AC that didn’t work, as well as a persistent smell of gasoline, for which the source could never be found. The smell also made our dog get carsick on long trips. Despite those issues though, there were a lot of fond memories with the car, and a lot of plus sides too that impressed me. For starters, the V6 made the car feel like a speed demon (not super fuel efficient but not as bad on gas as some of the other reviews suggest). Another underrated feature was the full-size spare tire and tire-changing kit, which actually came in VERY handy for us once. The car was also very quiet and smooth, and though it wasn’t sporty, it handled corners better than almost any brand new SUV does. The car was also super spacious in the front seats, the backseat, and in the trunk. Sadly, after a year and a half and 20k additional miles the car was totaled in a slip-and-slide accident. We miss the car dearly, and all the memories that came with it.

Poor company response to safety defect

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.

A Preview of great things to come...

Hyundai will be a major powerhouse in the US. No one can come close to their warranty and will attract many to this luxurious sedan. This is a taste of what to expect from Hyundai will be showing to the American market. They will be debuting a luxury brand to compete with Toyota. The Equus (which is the top-of-the-line in Korea) will coming here soon and many people it's better than a LS400...the redesign of that car will be coming soon. This will definitely get your moneys worth. You will be impressed like I did.

I have always purchased Lincolns since 1992. Decided to try an smaller car this year. Tried the Azera and saw it had all the "bells and whistles" that the Lincolns had, handled well and suited me just fine.
