  Too Much Fun! - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By F&F - July 21 - 10:00 am

  Sexy, sleek, powerful, and did I say sexy? If you pull up next to me, expect some fierce competition. This car is made for people who love to drive. I do not recommend getting any other model besides the GT V-6 with 6-spd transmission and the "Ultra Sports Package 3." Too much fun!!!!

  Tiburon Or Bust - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By eighty88 - April 26 - 10:00 am

  I put this car through its paces a couple weeks ago. Took a drive over the Cajon pass into Californias High Desert. I was in 6th gear all the way, and the car was hardly working. Stearing was precise and effortless. Go ahead and spend 5 or 7k more for a Toyota, or Mitubishi.

  big bang for the buck - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By tony - January 26 - 10:00 am

  I love this car. my friends cant believe what i paid for it. got rid of my suv to put some fun in driving again. not the greatest headroom and trying to back out of a parking space is a "take a chance" experience what with the limited bisibility The radio/cd/cassette is amazing for the price and the warantee cant be beat.

  GREAT SPORT LOOKING CAR FOR THIS MONEY! - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By akagalovsky - August 10 - 12:10 am

  I bought 2003 2.7 V6 Automatic transmission Tiburon in 2005 for $14,000.00. There was only 13000 miles on it. Leather, sunroof, 171 hp, Michelin Tires, "dual" exaust, "premium" sound. And it was sporty RED :) The main reason i bought it because i wanted my car to attract attention and not pay too much money :) There was no single person who didnt ask me "What car is that?" One lady even asked me: "Is it Ferrari?" it was so funny. I have 88K on it and it still doesnt have major problems. Please dont expect Toyota or Honda quality though. I had about a dozen of small issues half of which was taken care of by the warranty.

  A love/hate relationship... with my car! - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By srhall89 - July 20 - 6:30 pm

  A very fun car to drive... When it isnt in the shop! Purchased from the dealership with 56k miles on it, one owner, and had problems since I got it! Passengers side strut was busted when I bought it, around $650 to get it fixed. Ran good for a while.. I bumped into a curb and broke the strut again, also set the drivers side airbag off when I hit the curb... Was only going around 15 MPH. Engine had began to make a strange clicking noise when a few weeks later my transmission defaulted to third gear. Transmission fluid and antifreeze began leaking into each other, paint started flaking off spoiler and passengers side mirror, stereo display went out, moonroof rattles very bad when opened.

  Alot of fun for the buck!!! - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By yakkman - June 13 - 4:36 am

  I think the tiburon is a great buy for the money.It handles GREAT,has good power,and looks really good.I have owned my Tiburon for a little over a year and would buy another one in a heartbeat.I havent had any problems w/ it since I bought it.Horsepower is good (not great)but compared to other cars in its class,check out their price!With a few extras,this car would keep up and you still would have spent less and have a reliable,sporty vehicle.

  In the SHop - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Lamar - May 28 - 10:00 am

  Well first of all its stays in the shop more than I drive it. Has a very bad pull to the right, dealership cant seem to get it fixed. Sunroof has broken, the shocks on the rear hatch have had to be replaced. I really dont think I will be purchasing another on of these.

  Would not buy another - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By surrah - April 16 - 5:06 am

  Bought this car used with 72,000 miles on it. Totally unreliable! I am always scared to take it on trips because something is always going wrong. Right after I bought it the engine light came on. Spent $2,000 trying to find out what was wrong with it. Clutch went out another 2,000 miles later. $1,200. A/C went out just barley with 79,000 miles. $150. Tires blew out also on my way to catch a flight $900 (expensive tires with NO warranty!) Awful car I do love the outside of it though I am always getting head turned. Dont really care that the back seat is small because no one rides with me. I realize I bought this used but not worth the money Ive put back into it

  A Big Improvement - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By coupeman - April 7 - 10:00 am

  I drove both a V6 6-speed and a 2.0 5-speed. The cyl GT is a better value, but the 2.0 is better looking. The high spoiler on the GT coupe ruins the appearance of the car, and I would not buy one with it. The saleman actually offered to have it taken off! The base car is the best looking of the lot, but the low spoiler on the 5-speed V-6 GT base model is tolerable. I have to admit that I was tempted by the good looks of the Tiburon, but the interior is not up to the exterior, and in the end I opted for a Mercedes C230 Sport Coupe. If they had a Sprint model V-6 with the low spoiler, I might just have taken it.
