2012 Hyundai Equus

Pros

Same quality rating as a Ford based on 2012 stats

Cons

Looks like European luxury car knockoff

Purchased As New

I thought it was a sharp car with all the bells and whistles with a good quality rating but ended up feeling like it was going to fall apart after 15k miles. Pothole season in the Midwest is way too much for this thing to handle. 2 cracked expensive rims and increasing number of interior rattles, which seem to not exist when the car goes in for service, is just too much too bare when the resident frequency of the part seems to always occur between the speeds of 25 to 50 mph. With it there is the stigma of buying a knockoff when you really could get a nice Caddy or Audi at a comparable price. Plus I would say compare before you buy. Drive this first! If you like to drive and really enjoy performance this thing will be forgotten after test driving a real car....read morehide

Pros

great ride, features, seat comfort, visability

Cons

glare, nav brightness...see review

Purchased As New

two major drawbacks in design. front hood has a downward crease along windshield that catches a glare in bright sunlight. The navigation system while it has a seperate night screen from the dayscreen doesn't let you to independently set the brightness. Whenever I go from night or day, I need to go through the menus and adjust the night i need about 25% brightness...

Other than those issues, it is the best feature ladden car I have ever owned. The continuously dampening suspension is what every car maker should prefect

Gas mileage is really good when you consider this is a 4500 sedan, and it has a 429 HP motor. Power is smooth except for wide open is a little untamed....read morehide

I bought this car in October 2011. I can't understand why some people think that Hyundai 20 years ago was junk, so this must be also. They are nuts. I will take this car any day over M-B S Class, BMW 7 series, or the big Lexus, and have an extra 20 to 30,000 bucks left over.

The power is fantastic- 429 HP- and the 8 speed transmission is seamless. On the highway, I am getting 25 mpg at 75-80 mph. In town 15 to 16 mpg.

Front seats are heated and cooled and the cooling really works. The steering wheel heats up in about 15 seconds.

The massage seats really work very well.

I hardly ever use a cell phone, but I got the bluetooth working in about 10 minutes.

There is double pane glass everywhere except the rear window which has a power shade. This results in a whisper quiet car.

The comfort and handling are just fine in a car of this class.

I enjoy it more and more every day....read morehide

Pros

Great value for the money

Purchased As New

I own this news car and it a GREAT car. It does everything and for the half the price of comparable sedans such as Lexus or Mercedes. The mileage is 16 in town but up to 22 on the highway. The comfort is amazing.
