  Great look but overall JUNK - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
  By shadowh127 - May 24 - 3:01 pm

  I bought my SE 14 months ago with 15,000 miles. It now has 35,000 miles on it and Im told needs a new clutch for $3000. I reported a problem from the 1st week and again 3 additional times prior to this past week but because they couldnt duplicate the problem dismissed it. It has been into the Hyundai dealership over a dozen times for things such as: sunroof not functioning properly, bad tpms sensors, faulty driver buckle pretensioner (causing airbag light to come on), cruise control didnt work, fuel gauge faulty, temp guage, acceleration issues - CLUTCH. Do your research prior to buying any Tiburon, they seem to have many similar issues. I will NEVER buy a Hyundai again!

  I dig - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By I drive hard - May 12 - 3:16 am

  The orange crush color is a definite head turner and the car itself is a fun drive. Before giving it to my girlfriend, I drove it hard. Hard enough to bald the tires and bend the master cylinder. Woops! Weve done mods to car like an AEM intake, headers straight back with no cat to an ARK exhaust, with a stage one clutch and a light weight flywheel, and a short throw shifter. It sounds nice and isnt obnoxious. My only real complaint is that for a V6, 173 hp is a wee bit under powered. I guess that means if you want a bit more bite and more growl do a an exhaust and an intake. The car will get a little more hp and sound real nice.

  tiburon v-6 - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By jessieo10 - April 6 - 2:00 am

  i have had alot of problems with it first problem was the door seal then the rear window seal then my window motor quick workin then my trunk wouldnt open and the biggest problem was that it was quiting it would start up and run for about 5 seconds then stall out and it would do it 4 times before it would run but i had to take it to the shop about 4 times for that problem and they finally got it fixed said that it was the fuel i was using and that you shouldnt use high test gas in the v-6 that it was tuned to use 87octane but so far so good well see though

  Too early to tell - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By jonruiz330 - February 10 - 1:40 am

  I just bought my Tibby about a month and a half ago. It really is a nice car. The one and only problem Im having with it is shifting. One day it shifts like it were brand new and then another day I have to force the shifting. It seems to fix itself but I know one day ill have to drop the big bucks. Other then that, if your 6ft+ expect to roll into the car. I love the design, inside and out. Its not as fast as I thought it would be but from 60-100 mph is fine by me. If youre looking to buy, test drive it and make should to test all gears. If gear shifting is hard, I wouldnt rick it. Overall though, Im happy with my choice (so far).

  There are better cars for the price! - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Sean Roney - January 6 - 8:10 am

  I have owned my car for about 3 years and I have to say it is a good looking car that has the looks of the European sport cars that we all want. The car has the ability to turn head and put smiles on peoples faces but it also can be an expensive vehicle to maintain and after owning it for a year or more you learn that you are paying for looks and nothing else. The cams are already ticking at 41000 miles, people are talking about their clutches going out, the car eats tires since most of the weight is in the front, gas should better, performance is not as good as some 4 cylinder cars, the V-6 is pretty weak for how big it is, and the interior feels very cheap with its lack of refinement.

  Tiburon Exceeded Expectations - 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
  By David Westwood - December 19 - 2:30 pm

  From the moment I test drove this vehicle, I was pleasantly surprised with how sporty and fun it is to drive. It has plenty of pep in the motor and the handling is nimble enough to qualify as a legitimate sport coupe. For the price and performance, I think the Tiburon is a diamond in the rough.

  It is what it is. - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Denis - December 2 - 10:23 pm

  After 8 years the stick is still a fun drive. Typical of exposed braking systems is noise and caliper rattle at times. The headlamp filament is probably too wide for the vibration it receives and is prone to break about every 6 months-- I dont see this as an electrical problem with the headlamps. The brakes are very substantial for the cars weight and braking on slippery roads requires some concentration to maintain control. This was surely designed to be a fun, economical sports car. With TLC and a little help from the warranty, it is exactly that.
