Replying to: ksmigel (Sep 04, 2008 7:59 pm) Again, when you compare the 5 Series, which many mags did, of course the standard isn't going to be the same - C/D had the following to say:   Though falling short of the BMW’s sporting standard, the Genesis is better on fast back roads than the cushy Lexus LS460 and way better than the loosey-goosey Toyota Avalon.   Of course, the freeway riding is nothing short of excellence, as commented.   For what is, the Genesis does fine for its purpose. This is not a sport sedan so don't expect the car to zig zag to almost perfection like the 5er. Two very different animals.

Replying to: joe97 (Sep 04, 2008 7:18 pm) I tried the G35 before getting an Azera. Not even considering cost, the Azera Ltd. with Ultimate gave a lot more than the G35. Also, I found the G nosier and the ride harsher. Of course the G is sports sedan and the Azera is a near luxury sedan and the Genesis is a luxury sedan. Also tried the M, but the ride was no better and it seemed more confining and nosier. I even found a Lexus LS to be nosier in that you could hear the engine most of the time.     Of course, the Lexus and Infinitis did not wallow the way the Azera does, but I am hopeful new shocks will fix that.      Bottom Line: There are too many variables in the differences in cars today for any one to be the best for everybody or even most people. It is a very individual thing and that is good for us.

Replying to: gccmn (Sep 07, 2008 7:13 am) Great site. I'm wondering, though, if it depicts U.S.-bound Genesis models. There were a few features shown that I didn't think were coming to the U.S. e.g. adaptive cruise control, rear seat audio controls, front cameras.

Replying to: mpuzach (Sep 07, 2008 6:27 pm) It looks like it is the Middle East website. I checked the link about scheduling a test drive and the countries listed are Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Syria, etc.

#1480 of 4250 NO! by carolinabob Oct 09, 2008 (10:42 am)
After defending Hyundai for months, I am about to give up. My new L640 shocks on my 07 Azera are already beginning to deteriorate after 250 miles. This is the third set of shocks on a car with 11,000 miles.    Hyundai sells their cars cheaper and offer a lot of bells and whistles that others don't or else charge exhorbitently for. Perhaps the low cost is the problem, they are cutting corners somewhere and I think it is the suspension and quality control.     You can read my Genesis impressions under Genesis Test Drives site. You can also read Automobile Magazine and Car and Driver's road tests of the Genesis re: poor suspensions. This is not acceptable on a car that wants to be considered a luxury car.     BTW, both the media and Hyundai referred to the Azera as a luxury car when it was introduced in 2006.

Replying to: carolinabob (Oct 09, 2008 10:42 am) Sheesh! I never had shocks wear out on a car that early! The car is usually quite old and miled-up by the time I need to replace shocks. I imagine a good aftermarket shock absorber would be better than Hyundai's OEM.

Replying to: carolinabob (Oct 09, 2008 10:42 am) I just completed around trip from WI. to NJ. driving on some of the worst road I've ever driven. Potholes, large cracks, etc. (PA. turbpike sucks) and my 07 Azera did well on these roads. My car now has almost 28,000 miles on it and drives as well if not better then any cars I have owned. As far as I'm concerned this car is a keeper. .... build date is Nov. 06
