Hyundai Azera – Brian Chee’s Advice:
If you’re shopping for a softer, luxurious ride for less than $30,000, take a good hard look at the Hyundai Azera. It’s arguably the best traditional large sedan available, beating out what Buick and Toyota offer. Before you chortle and click away to the Avalon page, consider this: the Azera has a lower price, better materials and, based on our test example, higher quality construction. It’s also pretty darn fast too, though you’re not buying this kind of vehicle for performance. All in all, the Azera is a real luxury car from a serious automaker, for people who want luxury but haven’t forgotten about the luxurious feeling that comes with getting a good value.

Hyundai Azera – Ron Perry’s Advice:
Definitely give the Hyundai Azera some consideration when shopping for a sedan in this price range. Hyundai has done a commendable job of improving its quality and the company backs it up with a ten-year warranty. I’ll bet if you test drive an Azera you will at least walk away impressed, even if you choose to purchase another vehicle.

Hyundai Azera – Christian Wardlaw’s Advice:
Frankly, the 2006 Hyundai Azera blew me away with its utter competence. From its design and quality of construction to its comfort and performance, there are few things about this new family sedan that would cause me pause. Add in the excellent powertrain warranty, the standard safety equipment, and that – unlike the Accord and Camry – you won’t see yourself coming and going at every corner, and it’s clear that consumers looking for a roomy, comfortable, upscale sedan in the mid-$20,000 range need to test drive the new Azera.
