  For the souless. - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
  By pukklepopper - June 29 - 11:20 pm

  This car is a good runner, as long as you dont want to run fast or in comfort. Never had any mechanical issues with this car, but it feels completely underpowered and lifeless when on the road.

  Transmission Issues - 2006 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Carangelover - April 12 - 12:13 pm

  Brought brand new in Jan of 06. Car is has been fun to drive over the past 1.5 yrs but have had numerous problems with the car.BCM unit needed to be replaced, now transmission. Hyundai warranty will not cover much. Hyundai is refusing to fix my transmission because I upgraded the spark plugs and sparks plug wiring for the 30K service. They are considering the upgrade performance parts therefore voiding my warranty. I will not buy another Hyundai, if you paid me, they pulled the same thing on me when my clutch need replaced on my 03 Elantra after 12k miles.

  Worst car Ive ever owned - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Randon - January 29 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car brand new with all the options, high spoiler etc. I took extremely good care of the car and really babied it. I loved the look of this car, but had a lot of trouble with the electric windows. I tried to lemon law the car on two occasions. Even the clutch had to be replaced at 12,000 miles. Im currently in a class action law suit over the issue. You couldnt pay me enough to own another Hyundai.

  problem with the paint - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Nancyowner - June 10 - 10:00 am

  Loved my new tiburon when I first got it 3 month ago. But now I have only 2000 miles on it and had bird droppings on the car for 2 days. Ate the paint off the car was told this is not covered under the warranty as an act of god. I was told by they dealer and from the Hyundia national service number they cant do anything for me because it is an act of god that a bird left its dropping on my car. What isnt an act of god. If this way about paint warranty how are they going to stand behind the power train warranty. I have owned 3 new car before this one and have never had this problem. And I have never been treated so rudely as I was by this dealer.

  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!

  Not What I thought it would be - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By lilbit - June 27 - 7:50 pm

  Purchased new in 2004 wasnt bad for the first three years, then the engine went, now the air bag light is on it gives itself gas and the engine cuts out while driving down the road,I think a car should run better then this, I take care of my care and feel that these are big problems. Also the bulbs for the headlights dont seem to last long.

  To Many Problems - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Ron - March 22 - 8:00 am

  Since I have purchased this vehicle brand new two years ago, I have had many problems that are not covered by the warranty. It is on its third clutch and flywheel in only 37,000 miles and the first two were factory. I had a racing clutch and flywheel put in because it was cheaper and better quality than hyundai engineering. Now my starter is out and they are blaming it on my flywheel so they wont cover it by the warranty. I like how the care looks, and drives when it works. I hate how much maintenance i have had to it just to keep it running. IT is not worth it, the car looks nice but unless you want to waste a lot of money dont get the 6 speed version.

  Please Consider.... - 2000 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Monica - December 19 - 9:00 pm

  I honestly love the car, how it drives, has awesome a/c, and just a fun car, but it has some major issues. Ive read through these reviews and see that people are constantly replacing headlights, which I found myself doing the same. People with wiring problems, which Ive had. Ive spent WAY too much trying to fix a problem with my car not starting. It turns over only when it wants to. Ive replaced the relay wire to the fuel pump, which worked for a while, but now the car is only starting when it feels like it. Ive replaced the battery, ignition coil, relay wires. The interior dome lights quit working, and for a long time, my only headlights were my brights since the headlights wouldnt work
