I recently rented a Hyundai Azera for a week(not my request but that's
what Hertz had then). What a nice car--beautiful interior, extremely
quiet inside, excellent power and good handling, reall a pleasure to
drive. I was surprised but I have to say that this car was equal or
superior to my Accord SEL V6. Of course, I have no way of knowing how
it will be in say 5 years.
