 I've owned my Azera almost 9 months and have enjoyed every minute.  I was prepared to buy an '07 Sonata but after test driving some leftover '06 Azeras on the lot, I was hooked.  I ended up paying about $1200 more than I would have for a new Sonata and got a heck of a lot more car.  People can't believe it's a Hyundai.  It's not a tight "sporty" ride.  Handling is a bit drifty, but it's a bigger, softer car.  BUT, with 263 ponies under the hood, this car is NOT shy.  Styling is sharp and contemporary.  Not one "cheap" element to this vehicle.  I just don't understand why Hyundai has so heavily marketed the Sonata when this gem is out there.  Just test drive it!
