  much better than my kia - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By januarygirl7777 - March 25 - 1:20 am

  This car is so fun to drive. This car has enough power for me even in the 4 cyl version. The only problem I have is condensation that forms on the rear window when the defrost is on and the defrost takes a while to clear the windows, but other than that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car.

  It is a little Ferrari 456 GT!! - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Maximus - March 15 - 4:36 pm

  When the Tiburon is driven hard, it literally burns its tires. It has the athleticism of its lighter weight competitors. Its V6 is very confident and its steering is very responsive. Despite it is little bit heavy for a sport coupe, its effective powerful engine over comes any challenges. This car outperforms its competitors such as Toyota Celica, Acura RSX, Mitsubish Eclipse and delivers a smooth ride.

  Everything but the dashboard lighting - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Edward Z Wronsky Jr - January 29 - 6:16 am

  I love this car, as I loved its predecessors. However, like my 2001 Elantra GT, the information from the onboard computer is virtually illegible during daytime operation. Its fine at night. It does help if I remove my polarized transitional glasses, but my basic feeling is that should not be necessary. My only other suggestion would be to add an exterior release to the hatch as on most hatchbacks. This year, HYUNDAI eliminated the wiper/washer for the rear window , an aesthetic improvement with minimal reduction in functionality. Perhaps the savings could have been used to add an exterior manual release for the hatch!

  The hottest car you can get for 19k - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Chris - January 19 - 12:20 am

  I got sick of making repairs for my last vehicle, so I bit the bullit and bought new. Im glad I did. The Tiburon caught me by surprise with quality and style for the money (not to mention warrantee). Ive only had the car for a week, but it has a very comfortable ride, a hot looking interior with red stitched leather wheel and seats, and a great stereo. The 5 speed shifts nicely and the clutch is pretty forgiving. Since its a hatchback there is a ton of room for storage for a pretty small car, another big positive. The only things I could wish for are a standard 6 speed manual, a couple more horses under the hood or better gas mileage from the 2.7l v6 (rated at 19/26)

  Dont Waste Your Money. - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By nomoretiburons - October 15 - 3:23 am

  Bought a 2006 Hyundai Tiburon in 2007 with 9k on the odometer. Ran fine at first. Less than a year later, O2 sensor went out. Replaced that, a week later another, replaced it, a week later another... replaced it, a week later guess what. This thing eats tires despite the fact that the alignment is good. The wear is even across the tire but we get less than 16k out of 30k tires. Have replaced the brakes, Sunroof no longer works, lock motor on driver side door went out, radiator hose started leaking at the thermostat housing, replaced the hose clamp and fixed it, a few days ago the radiator cracked in a spot that I still cant explain why.... Buy a Pinto your repair bills will be cheaper.

  Clutch Failure - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Kim Weise - August 1 - 8:16 pm

  Clutch Failure at 30,000! Not covered by original or extended warranty Cost $1055 only owned the car for 7 months Looks are very deceiving if you own one get rid of it before it costs you!

  This is the one! - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By betchadee - June 20 - 12:25 am

  After going through car after car after car buying beaters I bit the bullet and finally bought something nice. My boyfriend who has owned a Tiburon already looked it over and gave it a good word. Ive had it now about a week and so far I love pretty much everything about it, whoever had it before me put after market exhaust on it so it sounds like a completely different car. I did notice that my tires are quite worn and I will have to replace them in about 2 to 3 monthes. The passenger side window motor has either been disconnected or no longer works, Im taking it up to a dealership tomorrow to have that looked at.

  Very impressed - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By HIII - February 11 - 10:16 pm

  The six speed is very fun to drive, makes me feel good at 70mph to know I have another gear to shift to. Looking forward to the 2008 and 2009 models.
