Used 2011 Hyundai Azera Consumer Reviews
Just bought it and love it!!!
I was actually looking at the new Genesis, but financially the Azera was a better fit for me. I think it is a mistake for Hyundai to discontinue this car because it fits right between the Sonata and Genesis on price point, but oh, well........... Very happy with my choice and Hyundai of New Bern is the best!!! I love this car.
All I hoped for, almost
It is possible to find faults with this car. At interstate speeds road and wind noise are substantial. Sun light falls on the audio/navi screen making it almost unreadable. Otherwise the car is a pure delight to drive. I normally regret reaching my destination. The car is attractive, comfortable, powerful, and has many amenities. Cabin and trunk are spacious also. Just what I wanted excepting the two features mentioned above.

Lots of research paid off
From the initial test drive, the car didn't inspire a lot of "oh-wow!" comments, but it was an interesting design. Seats leave a little bit to be desired in terms of thigh support, and the leather stitching on the black (gray) leather is ugly. But, I basically love this car. Bluetooth works great. Trunk size is very good. I have some problems with the transmission at slow speeds, as I drive the Washington DC beltway each day. But, overall I would definitely buy this car again. Without doubt, this is one of the greatest values available.
Michelin tires
The tires on this car are very noisy. The car rides very roughly. Next time maybe try a sonata.
Simply Outstanding Value!
This vehicle is simply outstanding. I have the Limited model and am very pleased with it. The ride, comfort...the technical amenities. This car is loaded. You can't ask for more. I only have three issue with the car...and I'm really nit picking to find two of them. One is the hunting around gears 3 & 4 when climbing a hill. Two is the visibility of the Radio/Navigation screen during a specific time of day as the sun goes down...it becomes difficult to see due to glare. The final one...gas mileage, I feel, is more of a byproduct of the "class" of vehicle the Azera is trying to compete with. Big luxury cars usually do not have good gas mileage and this one is no different. While not the worst MPG on the planet, I've been averaging about 28, it is still about 5 mpg lower than I would like. A positive spin on the MPG is at "least" the vehicle takes 87 grade octane and not the 89 or 91 the other luxury brands call for. Definitely helps in the wallet. Other than that, this vehicle is money. One suggestion that I HIGHLY recommend...make sure, if you buy this from any type of dealer, to purchase whatever extended warranty they are offering. With this much technology and various bells/whistles something is bound to go wrong; nothing is perfect. That stuff is super expensive to repair so make sure you are covered. I bought my car from CarMax with a little over 37,000 miles on it. The warranty added an extra $40/month to the payment for the top warranty but I'll have no deductible and will get everything fixed, bumper to bumper, for the next 100,000 miles. One final note. If you want a "driver's car" then do skip the Azera...this is a get from point A to B car in supple comfort, quiet and enjoyment.
