In its first year of production, the 2006 Hyundai Azera looks to successfully replace the XG350 as the Korean automaker's top sedan. The experts say that the Azera represents Hyundai's fastest car to date with its 3.8 L, 263 hp V6 engine. This new model comes in two trims: the SE and the Limited.

In any case, you'll feel comfortable in the Azera's hefty 3629 lb. frame. Gas mileage comes out to around 19 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway. Both trim have 4 doors, seat 5, and offer front wheel drive.

Overall, drivers like the comfortable interior and low price for full-size sedan. However, the handling and steering could use some improvement. Regardless, the 2006 Azera shows promise as a solid vehicle for Hyundai's continued renaissance.
