Azera vs Camry

[MeAko]

Am in the market for a slightly used Camry 3.5Q to replace my 5 year old 2.4V.

I just wanted to make sure that Camry is still the best buy for me whose #1 priority is back seat comfort.

Lui from Hyundai Abad Santos (the best Hyundai Agent in Asia--I would buy all my cars from this guy if I had a choice) kindly arranged for a test drive for me for the Azera.

I drove it briefly and my main comment was the responsiveness wasn't really there. Road handling was pretty acceptable.



One glaring gripe I have about the interior is the presence of...get this:

[SIZE=7]A CASSETTE PLAYER[/SIZE]

[SIZE=7][SIZE=3]If I were to have bought this car home, my kids would have gone, "dad, what's that?"

For a car that cost nearly 2M, I simply cannot forgive that Korean guy who closed the OEM deal with Infinity and thought that having a cassette player was a good idea--that guy should be shot!

I quickly jumped into the back seat for the real test of suspension and ride comfort...
Comparing to my nearly 6 year old 2.4V Camry to this month old Azera of HARI, I would still prefer the Camry. The Camry still felt a bit "heavier" and was able to handle the pot holes and bumps with a bit steadier ride. Eh paano pa kaya pag 3.5Q ang i-compare ko.

I guess the Koreans are indeed making great strides in their R&D, although I'm saying the Camry was "better" the difference wasn't really that far off. But again, that Cassette player was just the kicker

It's possible this model of car caters to those who still think cassette tapes is the hip thing since 8-track cartridges.

Ummm, This is the old model ata of the Azera. Para sa akin, mas gusto ko ang porma ng Sonata... Just my two cents.

I think its because the Azera is getting old already. The Camry is a much better buy for me.

But if you are not in a hurry, maybe you can wait for the new Hyundai Sonata which looks really nice.

I really doubt a Sonata would be able to hold a candle against the 3.5Q top of the line of Camry
