It only has 38K miles and has not needed any major repairs since purchased.

My Azera is the Limited model and had lots of bells and whistles for its time; automatic sun shade for rear window, electric seats, phone charger built-in the back, leather seats, auto adjusting lights, air of course, cruise control, tilt steering wheel. I am very happy with the car.

Nancy L

Great deal for the price.

I feel very comfortable as a driver or passenger. - easy to drive. Everything about this car is a plus.

Shelby S

Love it, Especially the sunroof in the summer.

Very comfortable, works great for me and my husband for long distance travel. Lots of power, but very smooth. Great gas mileage. Average of 29 mpg. We have never had any major mechanical concerns just normal upkeep. Was going to be my daughters first car because of safety, but we decided it had to much power for a first time driver. Love this car!

Nancy S

Best car I have ever owned.

Bought in 2009, with 17, 000 miles. This car has been the best car I have ever owned. I have kept up with the oil change, etc. It is a very comfortable car to drive and be a passenger. The mirrors are a great, because they have been placed in the right place. If I needed to buy a new car, I would, buy this model. It is very good on mileage.

Sonia W

Midsize with comfort and style.

No problems dependable and comfortable love the moonroof and I wish it had a better sound system. It has great mileage enjoy the button for the gas tank and trunk. Though it will kick itself up quickly so if you need to get into the other side you have to hit the unlock button. It rides smooth accelerates quickly keeps up with traffic quick to stop.

The problems you have with an older car!

Heating and cooling system does not work well. The car does not lock anymore and the exterior has lots of rust. I have paid of $1200 this year alone in repairs. The air only works on one temperature and has a funny smell to it when used. The windows always get stuck. The ball joints are going bad on the car right now. The radio has sound only when it wants to work.

Migdalia C

Its dependable..would buy another just like it but next time brand new

I purchased my vehicle already with 90000 miles on it in 2014..the only things i have done to it is regular wear fixes..i took this car to a cross country roadtrip and it gave me absolutely no hassles

Corey S

Used car review: college budget.

Bought used. College student needing something to get me through a couple years before heading to the military. Owned for about 2 years and has been very reliable, comfortable and has a lot of space and leg room. Would recommend. Only issue I have is a loose motor mount but will have no problems getting that fixed.

Toni H

It is horrible on gas mileage and there are electrical problems.

It is a 6 cylinder tank and is terrible on gas mileage. There are also a few electrical problems. The gas gage does not work and the check engine light keeps coming on.

Pros from Owners

Maddy Y.

Leather interior which is easy to clean. Smooth ride does not even feel like a car ride. Stereo and speakers are amazing quality. Sunroof to let in sunshine or air. Back windshield cover to use on sunny days or at night. Mirrors automatically tint to prevent bright lights from hurting eyes. Comes with full tire spare. All around a great car.

Cons from Owners

Maddy Y.

Does not get very good in town gas mileage (~14) but interstate driving ~29 miles per gallon. It is older so it does not have a place to plug in phone to charge or listen to music (I use Bluetooth connector).

How Reliable Is The 2006 Hyundai Azera?

I've had it a year. The first couple months my lights were blinking and would cut off on me. I had to get a brand new battery and that still didn't solve the problem.

Tiffany H.

Yes, the Azera is a very reliable vehicle. I've had no major problems with My vehicle. I enjoy owning this vehicle.

Bonnie M.

Is The 2006 Hyundai Azera A Good Value?

Well I paid 2000 off of a car lot. Not sure how much value it has. Probably not too much because there were recall on that year and model.

Kelsey S.

It cost about $3500.00 used. Since I bought this vehicle, I have had the oil changed, a tune up, purchased two tires and had an alignment. It's a great value.
