The last car I had to take back (several times) for warranty work was an Oldsmobile Touring Sedan. One of the worst cars I ever had. But most of my cars have been troublefree--going back to a 1989 Ford Probe that had zero problems in 4 years. I have owned several Ford pickups too. One I had to return to get the driver side power window fixed, but otherwise they performed flawlessly too. Of course up until recently, four years was my maximum for keeping a vehicle. Have decided I was spending too much on vehicles. Hope to keep my Millenia S for 10 years. Have already logged six.

Folks, I am on the wall between purchasing an Azera and the new Lincoln Zephyr. The Zephyr base price is more but I can get it at Invoice because of the Ford Supplier program. But then again many of the Azeras are going around invoice. And the difference in interest rates makes up for a price premimum on the Zephyr. (I wish the Azera offered low interest rates that may help my decision) The engine is bigger in the Azera but the gas mileage is better in the Zephyr. And the Zephyr has fine pickup for my taste. The inside of the doors are better on the Azera but I like the dash of the Zephyr better. The leather quality in both is the same. The Zephyr has a better sportier ride than the Azera but there are alot more 'extras' on the Azera. I thought the ride in the Azera floated a bit too much. The base warranties even out now that Lincoln offers a base 6 year powertrain and 4 year bumper to bumper. I think the Lincoln will hold it's value more but who knows. The Lincoln LS resale value took a beating. Has anybody else weighed the decision on these two cars and what was you reason for choosing one or the other? |

Replying to: ranger2001xlt (Jul 21, 2006 3:41 pm) We looked at and drove 2 different Azera's and began to compare everything else to the Azera. Only thing Hyundai doesn't have is air conditioned seats. It has more stuff as standard than others seem to have available. We bought the Azera in powder pearl white and have 1137 miles on it right now. Wife driving daily to work 22 miles each way and thoroughly enjoys the trip. We passed on the Zephyr because it is a new design, so is Azera but figured with all the warranties Hyundai is putting its money where its mouth is and 10yr/100,000 miles is hard to pass up. Zephyr lost in the engine also, I think its weak for our purposes even with a 6 speed tranny. Its going to be changing gears a lot on trips. Okay for the flatlands but the hills were a concern. Azera has the things you don't readily see, Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control System, airbags all around, power rear sunshade. And the Azera is sporty looking luxury car with an engine to play with. If the Zephyr would of had a larger engine, a 3.5 or so, we'd probably have one, the A/C seats were hard to give up. Don

Replying to: orangelebaron (Jul 22, 2006 9:16 am) Now we have to stop and push them back out before backing out. Could lower the windows and lean across the seats I suppose. The Premium pkg. has the electric folding mirrors but we couldn't justify the expense when we are the same size, so no seat adjustments are necessary. Also it doesn't rain here much so the sensing wipers was a bell we didn't want. As was the electric steering wheel. I really like the garage door opener and compass on the rear view mirror. Don |
