    My steering wheel does opposite. Raises to give more room for exiting when I pull the key, lowers back to my preset when the key is inserted.

    RE: 563
    As the feature is called "E Z exit", yours is the way the system should work.
    The seat should also move to the back as part of this feature.

    WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? I'm stuck on 17.5 mpg!! What are you guys doing that I need to be doing to my car. She's only have 3300 miles on her. I'm at bit upset. Is it because i'm driving 80mph+ :blush: ?
  • msazzyindcmsazzyindc Member Posts: 118
    Allmet I'm still waiting for you to spice up my baby :D
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    Msazzy...you know I'm only an email away, hit me up anytime, I'd be more than happy to add a lil spice to your life! :blush:
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    3300 miles...you haven't even broken your Azzy in!!! ;) Are you talking highway driving, city driving or mixed? If you're doing mixed and you're cruising at 80 on the highways when you do...17.5 is about right. I took a trip to FL and the car was fully loaded with 3 adults and 2 kids and the trunk was packed with luggage for everyone to stay for a week. I averaged between 75-80 mph w/ the A/C on and my gas mileage was at about 23-26 mpg.

    Once you get over the first 10K miles...you'll notice a difference.

    Shocks are still on order.
  • scbobscbob Member Posts: 167
    My dealer, Upstate Hyundai of Anderson SC, set the door locks and limp home code to my specs upon delivery. When I got my first oil changed, I told them I wanted to change the code and the door locks. They did if for free - again. :)

    Re: # 570

    :)

    When were your replacement shocks (040s) ordered?
    It seems as if you have been waiting far too long.

    Ask your dealer where the parts distribution center is located.

    I was fortunate in that the parts distributor is only about fifty miles from my dealer.
    The parts were ordered on a Friday and arrived at the dealer the following Tuesday at 07:00. :surprise:

    They installed those new parts before Noon that same day. What a difference they made! :D

    Good luck.

    :)

    80+ . . . just some thoughts on this. Remember the 55MPH national speed limit back "in the day." That speed was not selected randomly . . . there are engineering statistics to show that maximum economy on the freeway is attained 55MPH. Not that I suggest you drive this speed, but driving at any excessive speed will increase your fuel consumption. You can't expect to achieve any where close to EPA estimates driving at 80+, not to mention obeying your state's speed limits!

    Has anyone purchased Hyundai Azera original design wheels that have been chromed. I read that one firm that does this is OEM rims.If you bought from them were you pleased with the rims? Any other suppliers?
    Thanks
    Alymac
  • dborthdborth Member Posts: 474
    I did with my Azera & wife's Santa Fe. Original OEM's just chromed. Local tire retailer exchange program in 2 days. No complaints and look great.
  • dfwfrankdfwfrank Member Posts: 25
    Msazzyindc. Check out Edmunds home page, Tips and advice. They have a whole section on fuel economy select it and go to "We test the tips". Right now with our Az with only 1300 miles getting 17 in town and 27 on highway. If I was to stomp on it with the engine in there(limited) I could probably suck down to about 14 and 24 easily. Edmonds says aggressive driving on average costs MPG about 31%, speed about 12%. As allmet33 said I too am waiting to get to the 10K. Good luck.
  • scbobscbob Member Posts: 167
    Actaully ordered about 3-4 weeks ago. SM called today and I can get them installed any day this week.
    I think there may have been some delay due to the large number being ordered nation wide by the time I actually ordered mine.
    Glad to hear they work better and you are happy with yours.
    Just read my new CR 2008 Buying Guide and really pleased to see how well Azera rates in multiple categories. The 2006 is cited as a reliable used car in the $20-24,000 area.
  • alymacalymac Member Posts: 31
    dborth,
    thanks for your reply re chrome wheels...what did you do with the centres
    were the "H" is..is this chromed?
  • dborthdborth Member Posts: 474
    Re. 578: You are welcome alymac. The center caps have the logo "H" in chrome, the background is painted a medium gray color.

    Is there no illumination in the trunk area of the 07 Azera Limited Ultimate? With
    ignition off, trunk open at night: No light. It is dark back there. Is this an oversight or am I missing something? Can find no reference in the Owners Manual. Did search of Azera entries in this forum and found no reference to trunk lights. Please advise. Anyone? Is a flashlight the answer? Really? Say it ain't so.
  • dborthdborth Member Posts: 474
    Indeed there is a trunk light, consult your dearler service dept.

    Most won't have a clue, but try anyway.
  • bhmr59bhmr59 Member Posts: 1,602
    Maybe the light bulb needs to be replaced.
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    I have an '06 Azera and there's a trunk light. I would hate to think that they would do away with something as necessary as that. The one in my trunk is located on the underside of the rear deck, in the middle under the brake light (actually in a very good spot). It's a pretty bright light, but I'm going to change it to one of those brighter LED bulbs.

    You could have a bad bulb or the bulb may not be seated correctly. Could also be a case of a loose wire or something. I'm pretty sure you have a trunk light.
  • cdmuilecdmuile Member Posts: 152
    Where did you see the LED bulb for the trunk light? Would like information on ordering one. Thanks.
  • garym1jgarym1j Member Posts: 46
    I see something on the underside of the trunk lid that looks like a fuse with a plastic cover over it. I presume that is an LED type light. In any event, it is not working and I will have it checked during the first service. Thanks for your feedback. Glad to know there is a possibility that my currently dark trunk space will someday be illuminated. :D

    Your dealer might be able to order your trunk light to ship with your replacement shocks to save freight. ;)
  • alymacalymac Member Posts: 31
    Have any of you folks stiffened the suspension on your 2006 or 2007
    Azera to reduce the roll on corners? Using the same springs but
    changing shocks and /or struts reduce roll? Or?

    Hi...car enthusiast with DECADES of GM, tired of pricey repairs and ever-cheapening cars. Purchased 2007 Azera Limited (zero percent interest, what a deal!) and trading in 2006 Impala due to 200 miles from 3/36 GM warranty and don't want repairs so kept coming back to Hyundai with 5/60 and then the 100K. Drove 2008 Impala SS and thought the inside looked so cheap, also needed 91 octane, and since I'd driven the Azera an hour earlier it was no contest. Safety...unmatched. Looks..."sexy" and unlike anything else. Have pearl white exterior and black interior. 52 years young and anxious to pick it up Tuesday...

    WHAT AM I IN FOR? First "import" since 1972 Capri. The reviews make me glad I made the move!
  • wobbly_earswobbly_ears Member Posts: 160
    Congratulations on your new drive! I bought a Venetian Blue this weekend with Ultimate package. I have been a Hyundai/Kia customer for the past 4-5 years & you would be amazed at the durability & reliability of these cars. Although I'm only 29, I just fell in love with the luxurious interior & the 'value for money' factor.

    How much did you pay for it?
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    Once you've seen what type of bulb is in there...you can find an LED to replace it with from this site...

    Super Bright LED's
  • snaglepussnaglepus Member Posts: 160
    It appears to be a Festoon Base Bulb, but what length is the question. :confuse:

    Don't want to break the fixture trying to remove it so as to determine the exact length.
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    I haven't had the opportunity to check it out, but it looks like it would be the same size as the overhead light in the cabin. If there is no screw holding the lens in place, then you should be able to carefully pry the lens off to access the bulb.
  • snaglepussnaglepus Member Posts: 160
    There is a tab that you move and then it is supposed to come
    right out, but it does need to be pryed and I am chicken.

    Figure to do that when the stock bulb finally gives out.

    Check out that V I R video yet?
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    Hey...if you can change the oil in your Azera, I have faith that you can manage that bulb for the trunk. ;)

    I had every intention of looking at it yesterday when I got home, but between football practice and the tiling job I had...I was completely tuckered out. Don't give up on me though, I will check it out. :blush:
  • cdmuilecdmuile Member Posts: 152
    Welcome Dave,
    In ' 72 I was driving Peugeots. Drove them till the late ' 80s when they stopped importing them. You'll love the Azzie. Bought mine new in March of 06. 263 hp is exhilarating to say the least. Only minor problems (really just adjustments) in almost two years. I enjoy driving something eyecatching and unique. The azera certainly fits my bill. Enjoy! Check out my photos posted in other forums,
  • drdonrsdrdonrs Member Posts: 164
    You are going to love your new Azzie. I have an 06 Limited in pearl white with grey leather. Had been in Acura TL's for the past 10 years and this Azzie has it all over them. I drive an 06 Sonata LX6 and the Azzie is my wife's except on weekends when it is our "together" car. We are in our 70's and having a blast with our 2 Hyundai's. People look at the Azera and ask what is it? Then they see the Hyundai badge and they have a look of amazement on their faces. I hope you have as fine an experience as I am having with a first rate dealer and an excellent service department. Good luck and enjoy many miles of happy driving. ;)
  • garym1jgarym1j Member Posts: 46
    What a nice positive report on the Azera. Ours is a powder white limited ultimate and we consider it ultimate in everyway. It must be our generation who really appreciates the small but finer things this car has to offer. I also have experienced 70 years of living and have a first rate dealer in Brandon, FL with an excellent service department. Since buying in Aug 07, have installed chrome wheels, albeit a bit pricey, pleases my eye. We just love the XM radio and have it tuned to 40's and 50's music most of the time. I just extended our XM contract to 3 years. Sure beats talk radio nowadays. Have 2700 miles on the car and look for excuses to "let's go someplace" each day. :blush::D
  • scbobscbob Member Posts: 167
    I have 6,600 on mine now and still no negative comments. I just feel good looking at it and driving it. Periodically get out the brochures for the Acura, Infiniti, Avalon and Lexus that I also looked at. Still 100% sure I made the right decision.
    Getting about 28-30 MPG on the interstate at about speed limit + 5.
    I did have the shocks replaced under warranty and the ride improved a lot. May not be quite as soft as a Lexus LS, but feels good to me.
    Since I am retired, I don't get to do as much commuting driving, so I look for excuses for day trips. Have taken three short trips to Tennessee and it did real well in the mountains, including the cruise holding in the Smokies.
    :)
  • bamakenbamaken Member Posts: 14
    It's so good to see all of the post's that there is no negative comments about the Azera. My 07' will turn over to 1000 miles today and I still cannot believe the great ride I get in it. I hope the when I get to retire that there will still be a great car like this one and that it will also still be at a great price. Thanks scbob for all the info. Hmmm....mountain man I see. Love the Smokies too!!! Hope to get back up there this next year. :)
  • lakerunner4hlakerunner4h Member Posts: 37
    Does anyone know, (1) when the 2008 Azera will be released, and (2) whether it will have the 6-speed automatic from the Veracruz?
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    Not sure when the '08 Azera will grace showrooms, but I'm pretty sure they won't change the 5-speed tranny to the 6-speed. That'll be reserved for the upcoming Genesis. I don't really think there would be any added benefit for the Azera to have a 6th gear to be honest. The Genesis, however...in V-8 form will weigh a bit more and that 6th gear will be a nice cruising gear while on the highway. Heck, the Azera cruises at 70 mph and the tach is just above 2K rpms.
  • snaglepussnaglepus Member Posts: 160
    There is no word yet as to when the '08s will be released.
    The 2008s are here at the ports now but I think that Hyundai wants to sell
    some of their backlog of left over 2007s first before offering the 2008s.

    Good change for anyone to score a really good deal on basically the exact same vehicle.

    The transmission for the 2008 Azera is exacty the same as for MY 2006/2007.
  • scbobscbob Member Posts: 167
    Was in Asheville the other day and walking down the sidewalk, I spotted a sharp looking Infiniti. When I got closer, I realized the Infiniti badge was actually a Hyundai H on an Azera. Azera is still the best looking car on the road.
    BTW, I had to back into a space and changed my outside passenger side mirror so I could see the curb; then used memory to reset it to normal. First time I have backed into a parking space in about three years, whereas I frequently fold my mirrors in. Folding are much better than tilt down in my opinion.
  • dfwfrankdfwfrank Member Posts: 25
    I agree with you scbob, both my wife and I find the Azera a great looking car. We have also found the folding mirrors a very nice feature, both for getting in/out the garage and folding them when in parking lots or going through car washes.
  • bamakenbamaken Member Posts: 14
    dfwfrank..Do you have a sunroof on your Azera? If os, does it leak hn you go thru a carwash? My 07 Azera limited does and the service manager says that all cars will leak if you go thru some certain high pressure car washes. The sales manager said that it ill not leak if it is right, so I as just wondering if you or anyones elses is doing this also. Thanks :confuse: .
  • cdmuilecdmuile Member Posts: 152
    The sunroof should not leak. Period. That service person is giving you the run around.
  • davemudavemu Member Posts: 9
    New owner Azera here again...drove in snow/ice today and called dealer to say GREAT CAR with ESC in snow/ice.

    AFter 10 days of ownership I wish the exterior lights stayed on after the car is off, even for 30 seconds. Also the trunk light and driver/passenger leg area lights seem dim, is that normal? Although no DRL lights I do have my limited on "headlights/fog lamps" so all lights are on when I drive day/night...seems safer than DRL.

    Great car
  • davemudavemu Member Posts: 9
    Anyone pinstripe their Azera? Pearl white, great looking lines and since I do my own pinstriping (any others who ask!) was looking for the best lines of the car to accent. Main body crease is too low I think (tho similar to my 2000 Aurora years ago and I put a simple silver strip on the ridge), and other lines are beautiful but don't think lend themselves to a stripe. Anybody have a stripe?
  • floridabob1floridabob1 Member Posts: 1,190
    RE: 612
    I agree that headlights should remain on for a period of time after ignition is turned off. Many other cars have this simple feature.
    Head lights should also go on with windshield wipers, as required by law in most states. Another simple feature.
    Memory seats should function without the need for key to be in ignition switch, and memory should include "power pedal" function if car is so equipped. Yet another simple feature.
    I don't understand why Hyundai engineers and design staff don't notice these "little" items which do not require major modification to existing model and would be appreciated by most customers.
