  Decent Daily Driver - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Blue-GK - March 12 - 8:06 pm

  I bought my Tiburon to serve as a daily commuter. The performance isnt overwhelming, but the V6 offers the torque delivery that makes the car feel much more relaxed on the freeway, and more responsive at the lights. The styling may make it look a lot more potent than it is, however, as its not a fast car by any means. Notably, the rearward visibility in this car is low. It can be quite difficult to back out of spaces simply because you have to take a leap of faith to do it. Overall, Im not disappointed. I test drove an automatic, which was incredibly slow. The manual was the better choice, in my opinion. Ive had a few issues with it, but nothing excessive for a 6- year old car.

  Great sports coupe - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By JKR - March 3 - 10:00 am

  The 6 speed manual V6 GT version is fun to drive and though its a little lacking in the power department there is still enough power and great torque. Seats are comfortable as well. Good styling, very good price and awesome warranty. Overall great buy.

  1-Year Eval - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By aragornVA - November 14 - 10:00 am

  I love it. Just wish it had better noise suppression. Lots of road noise. Thinking now that it may be the result of a problem in the rear axle. Good fuel economy. Fantastic looks!

  Very Fun, Needs MORE POWER - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By gr8ful4tori - October 8 - 8:08 pm

  I bought my 04 Tiburon 4cyl in September of 2012 with 100k on it, That was a year ago. Overall it is a decent car and VERY fun to drive, I just wish it had more power. I live in NY and this car did better in the snow than I thought it would (Hankook S1 Noble2 tires are awesome). The seats are Very uncomfortable and the back seat is almost pointless.

  fun!! fun!! fun!! - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By rousse le femme - July 20 - 10:00 am

  Brand New so not alot of behind the wheel time yet. I do love the way this car feels. It is very comfortable and feels solid around you. Not cheap feeling at all. I actually test drove 3 tib models and 3 Jetta models. I preferred the tib for handeling, smoother clutch... the Jetta clutch was "springy", less road noise and a much sportier look and feel...intimate. LOVE my "just for fun car!"

  Still makes me smile! - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By yulia_gk - June 9 - 12:17 am

  I am the second owner of my Tib, and it has been a pretty decent car in all respects. The V6 is still sharp after all of these years and Ive been able to keep the car in good shape with relative little expense. With good attention to vehicle care, the factory leather and interior still look outstanding. Reliability is worth considering if you look at a used Tib - sensor quality is low and many are prone to failure. The clutch is also known for premature failure in Tibs - my car is on #3 in 110k. Modification of the clutch slave delay valve can improve clutch performance. In spite of all of that, I find the car relatively easy to work on and fun to own! Great value overall!

  Clutch problems - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By JEER - April 13 - 2:00 am

  I bought a Tib 2003 on Nov 30th 2002, (sunroof, abs, v6, 5 speed, 18250 on the road) I have the hell of the time with the car, until I started to have problems with the clutch after only 8000 miles. I took it three times to dealer to get it fix, finally they replaced the whole part, but it was too late for me. I trade it on Dec 2003.

  Fun sport car and great MPG vehicle!! - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By edumorales - October 23 - 2:06 am

  I bought this car back in April with 68,000 miles. . I am the second owner of the vehicle. So far, I am very satisfied with its performance, both in highway and city. It is a very fun to drive and very powerful for its 4 cylinder engine (I drive the 5 speed transmission). When it comes to mpg performance, it varies by fuel brand and driving conditions, like weather altitude, etc. I drive from Chino to Moreno Valley, California on a daily basis, and occasionally to the Los Angeles and San Diego area. Vehicle definitely performs better when driving close to those cities at sea level, and obtains better mpg under those conditions. After seven months, all I can say is that this is a great car!!
