  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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!
