  Tiburon is FUN! - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By John Kluge - August 9 - 5:13 pm

  The car handles well. It compares to a 1988 300Z that I bought new. The GS that I bought has only the 2.0 4cyl, but is spunky enough to be a blast. I decided to cut costs by getting the small engine at lower initial cost and better fuel mileage. I do not regret that decision

  Great first sports car! - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By tattoodude426 - July 22 - 9:50 pm

  As searching throughout the market for a decent sports car to start off with in my area, I had found an eye-catching 2006 hyundai Tiburon GT v6. The car had so many great features that I had been looking for but what had sold me was the style of the interior, the sleek body style and the low mileage it had on it. Ive owned one of these cars for about two weeks so far and Ive found that it is quite fun to drive and even got a few compliments already on the car. Id definitely recommend this car to anyone who wants a nice reliable sports car.

  This vehicle is terrible - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By john_stone37 - July 5 - 4:30 am

  This car is fun to dive, but if you dont have a ton of money, dont buy it. Bought one at 99k miles, it now has 124k. In the span of that 25k, Ive replaced all tires twice, replaced the clutch twice, replace the shifter cable twice, replaced the transmission and flywheel. All tiburons after 2003 are crap. Also, any transmission repair (clutch, shifter cable, flywheel, etc.) is 1000$ more than with most cars because it takes extra work in a tiburon to get to the transmission

  What a car! - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Ken - June 9 - 4:50 pm

  I just bought this car used with 18,000 miles on it. Bright yellow! This car is way better than I would have guessed. The handling and power are just great. My wife says it looks like nothing can take the smile off my face when Im driving it. I went out looking to replace my Kia Spectra because it was boring. A perfectly good car, but boring, and this Tiburon is certainly exciting. I love it.

  Transmission Issues - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Carangelover - April 12 - 12:13 pm

  Brought brand new in Jan of 06. Car is has been fun to drive over the past 1.5 yrs but have had numerous problems with the car.BCM unit needed to be replaced, now transmission. Hyundai warranty will not cover much. Hyundai is refusing to fix my transmission because I upgraded the spark plugs and sparks plug wiring for the 30K service. They are considering the upgrade performance parts therefore voiding my warranty. I will not buy another Hyundai, if you paid me, they pulled the same thing on me when my clutch need replaced on my 03 Elantra after 12k miles.

  Great Car Overall - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Jack Ries - December 23 - 9:13 pm

  The tiburon is a great car, but it depends on which one you have. The GTs have a lot of issues with the transmissions (clutch, flywheel, shift forks, etc.), but these can all be delayed (if not prevented entirely) by not driving the car like a Ferrari. I bought the SE because it had more options and creature comforts (I live in the northeast, so the mirror defrosters are especially handy.) The car feels heavy in fast turns, but that is only how it feels. Once you get the hang of the seemingly slow steering and the delay on the clutch, you really start to enjoy the sporty feel of the extra notchy 6-speed gearbox. Bottom line, it feels like an expensive sportscar in an imports clothes.

  makes you feel special - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By weav8060 - November 15 - 6:16 am

  I have an orange crush tibby that turns heads and really glows. Never mind the nominal hp -- this car is fast and you can navigate traffic like a star. BMWs have a hard time keeping up. It purs beautifully. Get the sunroof -- its the first time Ive had one and its important for the overall feel and comfort. Also, mine doesnt have rear windshield wipers and that needs to be remedied. The seats are very comfortable, but part of a cockpit feel that you have to slip into -- always pull the manually operated seats back as you get in and out (thats a fun factor too). This cars not for your if youre taller than 6 or overweight. The is a high revr and mileage is mediocre.

  Awesome Car! - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By B Riggle - May 4 - 1:40 pm

  If you want a great sportscar for a GREAT price....this is it! I get more compliments on the style of this car. The car performs great! My only complaint is the armrest in the middle console could be a little higher to rest your arm on. Seats are a bit stiff, but keeps you on your toes. You just want to get in this car and drive it! Great warranty! Very worth the money!

  I absolutely love my Tiburon. It gets lots of looks. It is fun to drive, It was love at first sight. When I set out to buy a car I had no idea I would be buying a Hyundai, but this car is so much fun! Everyone wants to drive with me.
