I drove an '08 Azera as a loner car for a weekend and I do think the '09 felt more controlled but without driving them back to back who knows. It is just an all around nicer package in my opinion, much better than my '06. But in any case, they made the much needed improvements in a very reasonable time and all is well in the cosmos.
 
Long live the Azera......

Based on my experience with an 07, the jury will be out on the 08's and 09's until they have over 5,000 miles on them as far as the suspension is concerned. My 07 rode well when new, but deteriorated. They replaced the struts and it rode well again and then deteriorated.
   Unless they have completely redesigned the entire suspension, which I doubt, the problems are still there.

I have become very excited about the Azera; looked at the ''08. Does anyone
have information on the '09 availability in South Florida? Aware of any special
incentive programs? Thank you.

Bob, you are an intelligent and sincere man. I respect your posts, and all the more since I have no Azera ownership experience of my own.
 
But in the interest of fairness, I must note that Hyundai did say they completely redesigned the shocks themselves with a new "twin tube" design. Having not heard any reports of the problem so far with the 2008 models, and having not detected any problem myself in a rough-road test drive (which the 2006 flunked in this regard), I don't know there's any proof that they have not fixed the infamous "clunk." With all due empathy for your very car's very frustrating problem, we might want to reserve judgment on that.

With 12,000+ miles on my '08 Limited/Ultimate I'm still a happy camper. There has been no change in my suspension since the day I picked it up, and it handles much better overall than the '07 I test-drove.

I now see that posts #951 and #952 in the forum "Hyundai Azera Front End Problems" do describe front suspension problems being experienced by owners of 2008 Azeras. I defer to you.

Nav and iPod by rv65

No USB/iPod port/aux with nav. You will also lose the cd changer with navi. So for the limited then just get the ultimate package and buy a portable navi. Might be a better deal. The iPod cable is 08620-2L000 and costs around 24 to 30 USD.

Tony,
Thanks. I wish they had found a fix because then there might be a resolution for the rest of us. I did test drive a 2008 and it drove just like mine and the service manager agreed with me.

Is there a 4 cylinder engine for the 2009 Azera? by njalan
Jun 25, 2008 (4:28 pm)

Today I went to check out both the Sonata and Azera. The 08 Azera looks nice but has a big engine (3.8 six). I wonder if the 2009 Azera would have a 4 cylinder or a small 6 cylinder engine. The dealer said the 2009 is due out in September or October but has no idea about the engine option. Please help.
