2008 | 4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This car is spacious and very easy to get into and out of. It allows one to sit up high and still have plentiful headroom. see full Hyundai Azera review |

Easy step-in combined with excellent headroom means my 96 year old mother in law can get in and out without effort! She can cross her legs when seated. see full Hyundai Azera review |
2008 | 4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The pitch between front and rear seats is huge. The rear door opens wider than almost any other current model, and my 97 year old mother in law can get in and out easily. see full Hyundai Azera review |

2005 | 4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
We chose this wagon initially because it was the only sedan we could find that fit 2 carseats and an adult, or 3 carseats comfortably in the rear seat. Also, the two additional seats in the cargo area are nice if there are more kids along. see full Ford Taurus review |
