  Impressive - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By tobsterocks - September 20 - 2:00 am

  Lets not go overboard here and rate this car a 10, anyone who does has no idea how to even spell the word "car". I should probably state that I havent bought this car or even seen it in person, but I know a lot about cars in general. Here we go. Hyundai has improved this car greatly, straying from their previous design (horrible if you ask me) and going more for a cleaner shape. They packed this car with power and went all out on options too, a nice bonus. Unfortunately it is a Hyundai and they do not have quality quite down yet. Re-sale is also going to be disapointing.

  Wow, What a suprise to drive - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Autoknologist - August 23 - 10:00 am

  Fact: I was not looking for this type of car when I decided, what the heck: drive one. That was it for me. The Auto Shiftronic trans, the comfortable leather seats, the sunroof, the handling, the POWER & Smoooooothness of the V6, & the EXCELLENT Infiniti speakered sound system. Wow. This car is a blast to drive. The most fun car I have had since my 1977 Spitfire , but OH so much better.

  car rocks,still too new to be sure - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By adamreed - August 8 - 2:00 am

  Have not bought the car yet but I have had it for a couple of days and so far it is suprisingly impressive. Styling is sexy other than a very trendy front end look. Interior continues to impress with its ergonomics and comfort. Engine and tranny are coupled together quite well...gearing is near perfect to match the peaky torque character of engine. I am very skeptical of a Korean car after years of Euro and Japanese ownership but the initial feel blows me away. Warranty huge selling point...it better be because whoever buys one will have to keep it until it is paid off because of lackluster resale value.

  5 years of ownership - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Rick - July 3 - 7:10 pm

  This car is definately fun to drive. The 6speed manual is a lot of fun, but the clutch is lousy. The first one was worn out at 24000 miles. (Not under warranty and cost $1900.00 to replace. The 2nd clutch went due to the throw-out bearing breaking (67k) again $1900.00. The Michelon Pilots that come with the car are for summer only, useless in the winter. If you want performance, handling, low road noise and great trad-life, try the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions. They are unbelieveable. The Continental Conti-Extreme Contacts do last and handle well, but do have a lot of road noise.

  high style for less cost - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Chinafly - April 11 - 10:00 am

  Its been the best choice I had made when shopping for a bargain price sports coupe. I am especially amazed by the design of the car that gets the looks from passerby and asking if its an european sports car that they are looking at. Great Job to the Designers.

  Great value-for-money - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By roodu2 - March 10 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this car for nearly a year now, and I am more and more thrilled with it each day. Aside from a few production problems (I had one of the earliest ones released) I have had no trouble with it. The only real drawback to this vehicle (which I discovered recently) is the cost of parts. I was involved in a hit and run, and the damage is only cosmetic but to the tune of $2000. Whatever you do, protect your headlights at all costs. The housing alone is over $300. But a great car, especially in the summer. Open her up, throw a disc in, crank down the windows, and experience exactly the reason you didnt need to buy an eclipse.

  MY SUMMER PLAY TOY - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By TIBURGHINI - March 6 - 8:00 pm

  I bought my 03 Tibby brand new 5 yrs ago. ever sence then ive been tearing up the road. i had an 00 Elantra prior to the tibby and it was a great car, the tibby is even better! i bought it with the razzi bory kit on it, and been working on it ever since. Soon it will be a real nice show car and will get even more jaws dropping! Between the body kit and the Lambo doors this car is on fire, add the stereo and other touches and you will see Ive got an inferno!!!!!!
