  • V6 6spd Tibby - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon

    Awesome car. Looks sporty yet classy. Handles great. Brakes are great. No problems exept for a faulty speaker which dealer replaced. Alpine supercharger in the works to make this car even faster and fun to drive.

  • Cheap - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    At first I loved this car. It was cheap and fun to drive, but after about 3 months things started to stop working. First my doors stopped locking whether I used the remote or tried to lock it from the inside. Then my back windshield wiper stopped working, and then I could no longer open my trunk from the inside. That winter I couldnt get into my car because it was frozen shut. I tried both sides and I ended up ripping off my passenger side handle. Luckily its a hatchback so I ended up crawling through my trunk. After a while my car stopped handling the way it used to and it felt unsafe and wobbly. Although many things stopped working this car never broke down on me

  • Poor Mans Porsche? - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    I hate to use a cliche, but the Tiburon is really a great way to enjoy a nice sports car at a highly affordable price. There is a small exchange of comfort, but it is worth the trade for the eye-catching looks and above- average performance of the Tiburon.

  • Love this car. - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    No mater what I gave it for marks, Ilove this car. The looks are beautiful, the engine is smooth and it hauls ass for a little 6 cyl. This is my third Hyundai since 1992 and I must say that the Hyundai has come a long way in 10 years. For longs trips this car is very comfortable and unlike the Acuras I can tow things(like my motorcycle)with this car.

  • Best bang for the buck ever! - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    For twenty grand this is more car than I ever expected. It out styles all of the Japanese competition and is a blast to drive. The V-6 is the only way to go. Bought this one for my wife so went for the automatic but every time I get in I reach for the clutch. It just feels like you should be banging through the gears.

  • Satisfied but not Excited - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    I have owned this car for a few months, got it fire engine red with a 5pd manual transmission. I loved the look and the fact it was a manual, though a bright red coupe was not really in my best interest(Im a young driver, all I need is more attention on the road, right?). I had been shopping for a year and a half, and I got a great deal, so I ran with it. So far I am happy with everything except the engine power, which is adequate but does not lend itself to being a joy ride. Also, I am having a bit of trouble finding some basic performance parts to increase the HP. Basically, it meets but doesnt exceed expectations in this kind of vehicle.

  • Bad Paint, Ponies Mis-stated - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    I initially enjoyed the shark but have been very disappointed in paint quality, lots of chipping and the recently disclosed "mis-stated" horsepower. Although I still think the car is attractive and fun to drive, I have questioned its performance due to the break-in period. Now I know it was not in my head. I based by buying decision on the power ratings and may have made another choice if the information was accurate. There has been no disclosure on any mis-stated torque ratings. I would love to hear from other buyers.
