I have just had the car a short time and I held out for the 2012 model due to vastly improved engine and transmission. (429 HP and 8 speed). I haven't opened it up yet, but it obviously has worlds of power. 0 to 60 probably near 5 secs. It is ultra quiet and very comfortable. The seat has many adjustments and the control for same is very handy. It is priced many thousands (20 to 35K) less than M-B S series, BMW 7 series, or the big Lexus, or Audi A8. Go drive it and see for yourself!r Audi A8 to 30K) less than any equivalent car from BMW, M-B,

I sold this car one year ago. I am now driving a 2017 Genesis G90. If you are interested, although my Equus was a fine automobile, my new Genesis far exceeds my expectations I all areas.

The long distance comfort of this car is of serious concern. I bought this car and took a 900 mile trip a day later. Three hours into trip, my back was screaming in pain. By the end of trip, I was incapacited, with shooting pains in legs, back and arms. I am a long distance driver and convinced the Hyundia Dealer to buy the car back after showing them the articles on Autoblog about the seats (google Equus Long Distance). The dealer purchase a Lexus LS460 (14,000 miles) and I traded up. I just completed a 600 mile trip in the Lexus. No back pain or any other pain. The front seats in the Equus are poorly designed. No way to modify them, I tried and even had a pad made with memory foam.
Luxury but extremely unreliable

I bought a 2012 signature in 2019. I had this car under my radar for years and when I bought mine it had 65K miles on it and after about 4 years and putting 35K moles on it and I had all these issues: 1) Failed (leaked) air suspension system which uses bellows. The car was so low in height and had to be taken to dealership. 2) Electric side mirror stopped folding 3) Badly burning oil. Hyundai dealership tested it for 3 months and concluded and recommended that the engine needs to be replaced (I did not do that though due to financial reasons). I had to top up about one or two quarts of oil every one. 4) Alternator went bad twice (the 2nd time probably was because 90% of the alternators are rebuilt ones). I was stranded one on the right lane of a highway as the car had no power and the electric-assisted steering wheel would not turn a bit. 5) The key was not detected by the car, so I had to insert the key fob every time I started the car, in the glove box dedicated key fob for 2 years. This was the biggest and most annoying experience I had with this car, and I took it 4 times to the dealership to repair it, and the next day the issue immerged again. The total time that the car was at the dealership for this issues over the course of two years was about 2.5 months. 6) Rear left window stopped working 7) Rear right window stopped working one month later. Although the ride was great, the look was awesome, and all other good things that others said like fantastic sound system, very low cabin noise, a lot of power and acceleration as needed, big and roomy, nice paint, never fainted front and back light covers, nice leather, nice attentions from other cars and pedestrians that one can get, still I fell it gave me a lot of headache. Lucky me that I purchased an extended warranty at the time of purchasing the car from the Lexus dealership where I bought the car from, and the extended warranty paid all the repair costs for $0 deductible. I consider that extended warranty as one of my best investment ever, otherwise, if I would pay about $30K for repairing those if I really wanted to keep the car.

I bought a 2012 EQUUS BRAND NEW. This car was the best car I’ve ever purchased. I am desperately having a hard time finding a new car, because I can’t find anything that measures up. In 8 years I haven’t had any real problems. My car is still wowing people. My warranty and my buy back warranty is still in place. I am so spoiled.
