  • Fun first coupe owned - 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    At first, I was attracted to the more powerful Civic Si, Scion tC, and the GTi from VW. The GTi and Si not being in my price range, I had to choose between the tC or Tiburon, which was very easy. The Tiburon GS is a great little coupe that looks a LOT better then most coupes in its price range. The Tiburon has a decent acceleration, and decent high-speed max. Handling is very good, and this car is also a good platform for the modding enthusiasts. The car is small, so its easy to maintain the exterior and interior.

  • Excitment on the Road - 2008 Hyundai Tiburon

    This is a great looking car and for me a great time to buy. With Owner Loyalty and rebates this car is a great bargain. I purchased for a 17 year old driver but I find myself borrowing the car every chance I get.

  • Im Luvin it! - 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    My 2208 Hyundai Tiburon GS is my first BRAND NEW car ever & was DEFINITELY worth the wait. Everything about this car is awesome...and you cant beat Hyundais warranty either. I was looking for a cute *sportsy* car that was good on gas AND insurance...this fit the bill. The 4 cyl. has more than enough power to get you moving when you want it! And it took me awhile to get used to all the head turning looks that this vehicle gets while youre driving.

  • Sold on this one - 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    My tiburon has 16000 miles and I bought it brand new. It runs awesome, comfy, and looks sporty as hell. People stop and ask me what kind of car I own, and they are blown away when I say its a Hyundai. Awesome car!

  • Very nice sporty car - 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    Fun little sporty car that looks hot and has a nice interior to match. My car handles very well, gets decent mpg from the little 2.0 and with manual mode has nice acceleration. I test drove a Honda Accord coupe 4 cylinder, but this car has tighter handling, better warranty for $4000 less.

  • What a sweet ride~~~ - 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    When Hyundai redesigned the Tiburon, I had to get it. It looks so stylish. I love the freshly designed front and rear. The 17in RIM is also very nice. With blue interior lights, car looks great at night too. Performance is pretty good too, although it can be improved. Im sure the new Genesis coupe will be excellent in terms of performance. Best of all, Tiburon is real fun to drive.

  • Im Glad I did - 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    Ive now put 3500 miles on my Tiburon. We seem to be getting used to one another. So far I am very happy with my sporty little ride. I get compliments often and lookers regularly. I am really enjoying it and its overall performance it plenty for me. Never thought I would want a sports [or in this case just sporty] car, but Im glad I did. Ive read reviews containing comments about the lack of leg room in the back seat. Come on, does anyone expect back seat leg room in a sports car.

  • Most Fun Lil car I ever Owned! - 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    I checked several other cars that had the same Look" ,small and sporty Look , without the High price tag! This was by far , the best deal for my money! If you just want to cruise with the top back, have the sport car feeling, and not the high insurance cost! I bought the 5 speed GS model with a sun-roof. I have had more compliments on this car than I have ever had with ANY other car Ive owned! Not planning on racing with anyone, just enjoying the ride! Have not had any problems with the car in 3 years !!

  • My wife gets jelous of my g/f - 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    By girlfriend of course I mean my tib. There is absolutely nothing I have been displeased about since I bought it. I love to drive it; and I still smile like a 16 year old who just got their first car, every time I get behind the wheel. The interior fit and finish is immaculate for such a bargain car. Besides being slightly under powered for a 2.7 liter V6, I have no complaints.

  • Suprisingly fun and a great buy! - 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle just a couple months ago to replace my 2001 Accord 5- speed. To my surprise this car drives better than most reviews I have read and is far better on gas. Power is not breath taking but I will say it is more peppy than its specs would suggest. I drive about 50% of the time on the highway and the other in the city. I average about 28 MPG, not bad at all. The very slight lack of power of this vehicle is made up for in the corners. This car can really hold its own in the corners. People are amazed by the look of this car and I always turn heads at the traffic light. Interior is bright and really makes a statement. Overall great car, if you havent driven one, try it out!
