  The Shark is Worth the Price - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By janasliltoy - August 21 - 10:00 am

  I got the totally decked out Ultrasport 3 pkg. The car runs along side stock Mustang V8s. People love the car and it gets looks. The 170hp somehow rockets this 3000lb car to 60 in about 7 flat. Definatly suprising. Warranty is great and they are easy to work with.

  Good car but be aware - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By heuies - August 17 - 8:46 pm

  Car is awesome for the money, but watch out for common problems such as the power windows, power locks, and especially the clutch (mine just went at 41,000miles) which is VERY expensive to replace correctly. Other than that the car is a nice car with unmatched features and a blast to drive. Youll definatly turn heads and be asked "what kinda car is that?" cuz it is so unique. be prepared to face clutch and minor electrical issues inevitably though. Also make sure to have all season tires put on the car if you are using it year round. NOT a winter car!

  Best car Ive ever owned - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By JD M. - August 16 - 12:42 am

  Owned the car between 2002 when they first were being sold until 2015. Put 88k on it, and never had any problems. Would buy again if they still were being made.

  My mid life crisis car... - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By NawlinsRed - August 14 - 10:00 am

  I shopped around for similar sports style cars...The Tiburon looked better, and handled better than similar cars that were priced at almost twice the cost!! Combine that with the 100K warranty, and it was too good to pass up! And now that my children are grown, I can get a sportier car for me...People stop me at traffic lights and ask what kind of car it is...It is really a fun car to drive!!

  Awesome - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By jedisebs - August 7 - 10:00 am

  Ive had this car for just over a week now and I can say that its more than I hoped it would be. Im very happy with this car. I get a lot of good looks from people and I can only be completely satisfied with the ride it gives me. I recommend this vehicle to anyone looking to have a good time for small bucks. The sound system is incredible. I set off a bunch of car alarms with my subwoofer :) I thought it was funny. The best is smoking all the souped up civics. They give it that dirty "its a hyundai" look until I get ahead, cut them off and flash my hazards. I love doing that.

  I Love it, I love it, I love it! - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By CEM879 - July 31 - 10:00 am

  I love this car! Before I was never a big foreign car fan, but after I saw the Tiburon, I started only looking at foreign cars. I got so much for the price! Everyone stares at the car when they see it. I love the attention!

  Its like a video game... - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By s0cks - July 14 - 10:00 am

  The first thing that sold me on this car was the look and options. After driving the Tiburon for the first time, I knew I had to have it, so I bought it. This car is so much fun to drive and be seen in. I love it.

  hyundai for life - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By jackie - July 8 - 10:00 am

  My first car i purchased on my own was a Hyundai accent. it was very affordable with gas and maintenence. The only money i ever spent was for the tires and brakes..THATs IT! So when it came time to upgrade 7 years later, of course my first thoughts were about the NEW 2003 Tiburon "shark". It was in my price range-under 20,000!!! Including leather interior,abs,cruise, alloy etc. etc. etc. All i have to say is Im a hot girl in a hot car.

  Fun to Drive at This Price! - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By IsaacD - June 12 - 5:40 am

  For some reason, Consumer Reports decided that this car isnt reliable. I cant understand why. If youre not a racer, then youll find plenty of performance under the hood. Shifting has never been an issue. And I have more than once received comments from passers-by about the appearance. Of course, there are some shortcomings. But the negatives entirely depend upon your lifestyle. The rear seat is non- existant and road noise is a little much. As with all front wheel drives, torque steering is an issue. No matter these issues, however, I absolutely love driving this car!
