  Hot Car Inside and Out - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Christi365 - March 19 - 2:00 am

  I love my Tibby. I have gotten so many great comments on it. I did have a lot of trouble with the power windows, but I think it had more to do with the certain dealership I had been taking it to. Overall, I love my car, especially the body style. Its so fun to drive, and I feel like a million bucks while Im in it.

  I really like it! - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By happyindywoman - March 1 - 7:41 pm

  Since the first time I saw a Tiburon, I wanted one. Finally, in 2009, I purchased one. It was the first sporty car Id ever owned and I loved the low slung design. Unfortunately, after I drove it for a few months, I started to have trouble getting out of the door. Back problems soon followed. So I gave the car to my husband who loves it. I think I would have had the same back problems no matter what low-to-the ground car I had driven; it has nothing really to do with the Tiburon. When it reached 58,000 miles it suddenly stopped dead on the street. Fortunately, we were still within the warranty period (barely) and ended up getting a completely new engine under the warranty!

  2006 Tiburon = Best Tiburon of em all - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Uifz - February 12 - 7:30 pm

  So youre thinking about making a car purchase, however you want something different out there. Youre tired of all those 4 door sedans, that all look the same, drive the same, and are BORING...well no fear...because I was in your shoes about a year ago. The 2006 Hyundai Tiburon is an awesome Sports car! The look is great (especially yellow), the ride is comfortable and its got some juice to it too. Its a QUICK car, not a FAST car (theres a difference). The car simply stands out because of its engaging and creative look. So far in my one year of having it, zero problems with 20,000 miles of driving since I got it! Did I mention, its inexpensive?

  best you can get for the money - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Mike - February 12 - 8:46 am

  Ive had this car for four weeks and Ive had so much fun with it. So far Ive racked up about 3,700 miles with it and I have to say Im definitely satisfied. When buying my car, I considered the Civic Si, Scion tC, Acura RSX, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Corolla Type S, and of course the Hyundai Tiburon. It was so typical to think "eww, korean car", but after many test drives, I picked this car because it had what others didnt offer (two-tone interior + leather, auto climate and auto headlights, V6!!!, etc). There are bad parts like the lack of a trunk opener on the remote (despite being electronically popped open), but i like this car. Dont be fooled by my long list of cons, Im just picky.

  Cheap - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Kaci - February 10 - 7:16 am

  At first I loved this car. It was cheap and fun to drive, but after about 3 months things started to stop working. First my doors stopped locking whether I used the remote or tried to lock it from the inside. Then my back windshield wiper stopped working, and then I could no longer open my trunk from the inside. That winter I couldnt get into my car because it was frozen shut. I tried both sides and I ended up ripping off my passenger side handle. Luckily its a hatchback so I ended up crawling through my trunk. After a while my car stopped handling the way it used to and it felt unsafe and wobbly. Although many things stopped working this car never broke down on me

  Poor Mans Porsche? - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By BlackSox - January 16 - 2:00 am

  I hate to use a cliche, but the Tiburon is really a great way to enjoy a nice sports car at a highly affordable price. There is a small exchange of comfort, but it is worth the trade for the eye-catching looks and above- average performance of the Tiburon.

  UNDERpowered - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
  By MOdriver - December 28 - 10:00 am

  I bought mine w/ 5000 miles, put 38,000 on it. Sold it because i had a family and you can BARELY squeeze a baby seat in the back, not practical. I bought it thinking this would be a peppy sports car, but was disappointed. Going from my Saturn to this was a step up, but not much. 170 hp and still only be in the 23mpg highway area makes this car not worth the money. It was reliable, handled fairly well, nice ride, and comfortable.

  Loved the vehicle but biggest NIGHTMARE! - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Amanda - December 27 - 8:43 am

  Bought the car, ran great until i hit about 70000 miles. Engine spun a bearing. Had to replace engine even after following all of the manuf. recommendations and what not had reg oil change proofs and what not. Called hyundai usa (which is a joke) The car cost me $17000 dollars $4000 engine work went through 4 engines in 6 months I never once beat this car or anything I treated it like gold. My 2 year old and I used the vehicle to commute. cost me $3000 when I traded it in. Hyundai will never get a penny from me they are a rip off!!! Dont ever buy any Hyundai!! Friends owned and agree.

  Love this car. - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Demetrius Smith - December 16 - 10:00 am

  No mater what I gave it for marks, Ilove this car. The looks are beautiful, the engine is smooth and it hauls ass for a little 6 cyl. This is my third Hyundai since 1992 and I must say that the Hyundai has come a long way in 10 years. For longs trips this car is very comfortable and unlike the Acuras I can tow things(like my motorcycle)with this car.

  Most Sportiness for the Money - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Cougars 2 go - December 7 - 8:26 am

  This is a two-seater car. The "rear seat" is for lower insurance rates and gym bags. Im glad they fold down though. You can easily fit four 16" wheels with 225/60 tires in the back with room to spare. The rear wiper helps to see behind and when backing up in rain and snow. Beware with 05, dont know why it was discontinued for 05. Holds corners pretty well considering its smooth ride. Ive had mine for 13 months and put 20K miles on it. 2004 GT V6 6-spd with leather, ABS, moonroof, 360W sound with subwoofer. The 04 GT V6 was the only Tiburon that I could get the leather seats, 6-spd man trans, upgraded sound system with subwoofer, high spoiler, aluminum pedals all in one package. Great car.
