I bought a 2007 Azera Limited with Ultimate Package at the end of Nov 2007 (new).Love the car, btw! This weekend I was sitting in the passenger seat while the wifey was driving. I noticed that there was a crack on the dashboard. As you can see in the attached picture, this is not a crack in the random fashion. It seems to be a straight line & curves at the end.It seems to be along the passenger side air bag door.  See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com  See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com  See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com I searched to see if the any other Azzy owners has had this issue. On another Azera forum, I saw that there were 2-3 other Azera owners who have the same issue. Also, it appears that this cracking dash has been more in Sonatas. The Azzy owners with the cracked dash got their dash replaced. A trip to the dealer is in works tomorrow for my Azzy! Will let all you guys know how it turns out. In the meanwhile, has anyone else had this issue?"> |

O7 limited- silver/grey After 10 years with my BMW 740 I was looking for something that I would feel comfortable in (6' 5") and my daughter would approve (four door and better gas milage). I pulled up the edmunds list of top rated cars and started testing Cad,Lincoln, Mit, Nissons and the like. I did have a note on this car that it was given decent marks by Edmunds and JD powers. It was the last car I tested and its in my driveway now, unbelieveable- a hyundai that I never saw any advertising on). It has 22K miles on it and still under warantee (5 yrs 60K for second owner). Keep in mind I was BMW 740 owner (8 cyl). the Azera has more road noise, the suspension is soft at low speeds and the powerplant (w/22k) is a little noisy at idle (need valve clearance checked as per manual). The interior is unitarian but functional, some of the materials seem low budget, but the instument lighting is good and the car is easy to clean. The acelator pedal is a bit too far to the right for me but thats typical for asian cars. After driving it for over 500 miles this my opinion- love the reg gas, better then average gas milage, the steering wheel controls and the seats are actually comfortable. THe infinity 6 disc stereo does a good job and the MP-3 is a bonus (copied my mp-3 files to a cd). XM is a nice touch too. I like the exterior design (just enough difference for peope ask what is it) so all good for the money and the warantee. Paid $8 for a dealer supplied oil filter and o ring/washer. Rear sunshade is nice but Im worried that it's going to wear out when it folds every time I back out of the driveway. But what I really like is after driving it like a hybrid with my 10 yr "green" daughter in back. is that as soon as she's out of the car- is 3.8l powerplant. Good shift points and plenty of low end torque. It handles 85 mph well and there's very little torque steer on the front wheels when whipping her around a turn. The seletronic (?) shifter is addictive and I'm trying to stop using it.. It's not a sports car or a luxury sedan or a 4 banger gas saver- but a little of each.I like what hyundai is trying to do with this platform and hope they continue working in this direction. Thanks all for this forum and I look forward to being a contibutor in the future Scullync Greensboro NC

Replying to: scullync (Jun 02, 2008 7:14 am) BTW, just kidding, but is the interior Unitarian or utilitarian? Maybe a little of both. Personally I like the interior more than any other car I looked at, understated elegance, even if plastic, well done, simple instruments and controls, etc.

Replying to: carolinabob (Jun 02, 2008 2:04 pm) I'm interested to see the level of support from dealer, I'm not sure if they understand what they have here. I was surprised by the $8 oil filter and kit- I wouldn't hazard a guess what a OEM filter is at BMW. But I can say that the car did well up to Pilot mountain and the vineyards and handled the drive to the parkway like a champ. the next challange will be the OBX I haven't seen one azera on the road yet, usually when you buy a new car you suddenly see a million of them. Maybe we should start a carolina azera club-with two members-lol not to get off topic-but what is the history on this engine? is in other models? chris |

Replying to: scullync (Jun 02, 2008 2:30 pm) I believe the 3.8 made its debut in the '06 Azera. It is now available in the Veracruz and the 2 sister Kia vehicles. An "improved" 3.8 will be in the USA base RWD Genesis. |
