    This is not the Hyundai of the past. I own an 06 Sonata LX6 and an 06 Azera Limited and let me tell you both cars are outstanding. Over 1 year for both cars and not one problem, no squeaks or noises. My Azera is every bit the competitor with the entry level Lexus and it has the Toyota Avalon “hanging by a thread”. I previously owned Acura TL’s and I don’t miss them at all. When they introduce the Genesis watch out. The problem is badge snobbery. Get over it! I have people looking with amazement at my pearl white Azera and asking what it is until they see the flying H and then they can’t believe it. My Sonata is a roomy, peppy sedan with good manners and reliability. The price points of these cars don’t hurt either. Go Hyundai!
