  Not it is not a ferrari :) - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By MJM - April 14 - 10:00 am

  Great car took me 6 months of research to decide on the Tiburon. I looked at every model comparable model that Mitsu, Toyo, Honda, Acura make. For the price know one can touch it. To the people who want to know about the horse power it is 170 at the engine crank. They may advertise 181 but the papers you sign at purchase point states it at170. Good stereo clear treble strong deep bass (not thumping). Gas mileage is pretty good best I have seen is 29mpg and this was doing 65mph on the highway with ac on. Handling is outstanding at high speeds as well as city driving. As I feel the build and quality of my car (so far) is on par with anything Honda builds.

  Shiny on the outside, Junk on the inside - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By kho - April 14 - 10:00 am

  Hyundai, a company that hasnt built anything to last. Yeah, the car has warrenty beyond belief, it needs it so that the buyer doesnt go postal on the dealership. under powered, poor power- trains, HEAVEY and sluggish. when my SUV takes my buds Tibby, you know somethings wrong. it does have styling, the dash looks tacky. i rated this car for its worth after the warrenty is over. NOTHING!

  Performace - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Konrad - March 7 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle is capable of putting out at least around 300 hp mark without the use of t/c or s/c just by boring out the trottle body and the manifold , with titanium piston rings , headers , ignition and ecu upgrade . Also with proper intake and cooling , straight pipe with no restrictions on it this car creates the cometition for the upcoming RX-8 and nissan Z. This is a big step for hyundai in the racing industry . Keep up the work on creating the next "supra" .

  Fun To Drive - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By danhaab - March 2 - 10:00 am

  The Hyundai Tiburon is an absolute hoot to drive! I own a 2000 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, and the Tiburon is just as fun to drive. The car handles well and has enough power to satisfy. The exterior is the best part. The styling elicits questions from the curious. My only complaints are the over-boosted steering and the spoiler. The handling is so good on this car that it is a shame to have such numbing power steering. Also, while I dont mind the spoiler, I think the car would look cleaner without it.

  Sun Rough - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Tieler - February 26 - 10:00 am

  The Tiberon is a fun car to drive and looks great. However, the sun roof is rough - the design is poor and I have had the car in three times for repair. No permanent fix yet.

  I love this car! - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By MrTib - February 1 - 2:00 am

  I gave up a 95 Grand Prix SE coupe for this car and I dont regret it. It is tighter inside but much more fun to drive. It is still in the break-in period so I havent pushed it too hard yet but the V6 is fast and the car handles well. I am 47 years old, the kids are out of the house and I didnt want to drop 50k on a Vette.

  Worst car Ive ever owned - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Randon - January 29 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car brand new with all the options, high spoiler etc. I took extremely good care of the car and really babied it. I loved the look of this car, but had a lot of trouble with the electric windows. I tried to lemon law the car on two occasions. Even the clutch had to be replaced at 12,000 miles. Im currently in a class action law suit over the issue. You couldnt pay me enough to own another Hyundai.

  Love My Tib! - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Joan - January 5 - 1:53 pm

  Bought my Tib new in early 04 to get a good deal on the 03s they were trying to unload. Researched the car for a couple of years before buying. Tib has been excellent! Definitely a head-turner. People always think its a fancier car & cant believe it when I tell them its a Hyundai. Forever have Porches, BMWs, etc. revving next to me - ha! My Tib is a blast to drive. Minor problems (passenger window stuck) covered under warranty & the dealer was great.

  Amazingly fun to drive - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By lynchpad - December 26 - 10:00 am

  Ive had the car for the summer of 2003 and I absolutely love it! WOuld not want to trade it for anything else (within reason). Killer looks, great performance, throaty sound, lots of giddy up, love the way it handles! All in all, the quality speaks for itself; great wheels!

  2003 Hyundai Tiburon V6 GT 5speed - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By ardee - December 21 - 6:06 am

  The clutch on this car went bad after 12000 miles. The dealership gave me a hard time at first when it came to the warranty but they ended up replacing it with no cost to me. The paint on the gas cap peeled and they replaced that too. Now after 40000 miles the paint on the side view mirrors and the coating on my headlights peeled off. Other than that everything is good. I luv the car and I never modified anything so far. I already got 4 speeding tickets since I bought it. I recommend this car to anyone. Buy a brand new Tib!
