  RSX owner - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By RSX owner - December 27 - 10:00 am

  Test drove it. No, its not as great as the RSX, but for 18,000, its better priced than the celica, and the eclipse. Put some extra money for aftermarket goods, and you may have a better car than the RSX, celica, and eclipse... for cheaper! If they come out with a sick body kit, I just might trade cars.

  love it - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By chilli0007 - December 14 - 3:33 pm

  I have mine for over 5 years and still love driving it. Im constantly getting compliments on it. The car is so much fun to drive. The interior is very well laid out and comfortable. The materials are good. Trunk/hatch is huge. No reliability issues even with it being supercharged for over 4 years. The service at Quality Hyundai is great. I had the clutch replaced and no problems since. A few other problems like the locks and window motor going that was fixed under warranty. I still enjoy it very much and would buy one again.

  After 10k miles--still a great car - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Experienced - November 28 - 10:00 am

  After 10,000 miles in 8 months--I still really like this car. Its done California mountains, Arizona deserts, and lots of LA freeways. Really fun to drive. Gets attention and compliments like a car priced MUCH higher. Shiftronic auto was a good choice with 16" rims. 17" rims (with manual trans) make the ride too hard for me. Performance is very good and you always feel confident with whats under the hood. Milage is great on freeways--up to 27, but around town, only 17-18. Paint has a few dings already--a disappointment. Forget the back seat for adults, but you dont buy this car to haul people. Front seats are outstanding.

  I purchased a silver ultra 2 for under 18000 and I am very happy about my purchase. I almost bought an acura RSX but decided I wanted a car that wouldnt get lost in the parking lot. This car is already finished and can be tweaked for way more power if you wish. I cant stop looking at it!

  Love my Tib - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By JamzD - October 16 - 10:00 am

  Drove every car in this class...much more pickup than ANYthing in this price range..gets more eye than any vehicle Ive ever had...Did 145 easily on Montana interstate...corners like a much more expensive sports car.. great sound system, feels like a cockpit inside, lots of hatch space...best warranty in class...very responsive and proactive service from Hyundai, who wants to step up into Toyota/Honda territory as far as reputation...

  Great value, Fun to drive - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By dsmith - October 8 - 2:00 am

  Test drive was the selling point for me.It is a hot looking car and performance was everything I expected. The five speed manual was fun and responsive. Interior had style and sleek. Exterior is a head turner. Will buy in May. Cant beat the price for all the standard equipment. Had two Corvettes and a Toyota Supra. This compares very nicely except the price is better!

  Lovely little brute - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By skuuter - October 8 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned several "sports" cars since the mid seventies and this is one of the few that I not only love to drive, but also feel absolutely confident in. That may seem an oxymoron, but this car is so well built and handles so well, I respectfully disagree with many professional reviewers who seem to think the car is lacking performance-wise. The Tiburon has plenty of oomph and I look forward to every drive including the twisties.

  Tiburon-A Best Buy ! - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By AGM - September 27 - 10:00 am

  This car is great! I looked at the Mazda Miyata, Subaru WRX & RS and others. The price cant be beat with all the standard features. 10yr/100,000 mi warranty exceeds all. A/C is real cold, handles great, nice stable ride. For the $ the 4 cyl. has enough power, the gear ratio of the 5 spd manual is set up nice for all around driving. If price is no object you may want the 6 cyl for extra pep, but only if you want to race from the line. The 4 has plenty for city & hiway merging. Very comfortable and quiet for long rides. Lots of storage with the seats folded. Gas mileage is around 29 combined. Nice tight steering, good braking.
