  just gotta love her! - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Love my Tibby!!! - May 12 - 8:36 am

  I have had my Tibby for 3 years now and she has been the best car I have ever had (I have only had 4 until I got the Tib.) I dont experience ALOT of noise, there is some, I have only bought tires once, that was 3 months ago. I have driven on the hwy at 150km no problem and in the city I have no problem accelerating. And its cute as a button!

  Problems, Problems.. - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By SwiftTibby - April 2 - 11:03 am

  I should have really thought twice when buying my Hyundai. From day one I had problems with the car, it even failed inspection! Im not downsizing Hyundai because they have come a long way, but they kind of failed with this car. The newer models are great but after this car I really wouldnt trust them.

  Great Car! - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By jbcleere - November 25 - 3:56 am

  I like everything about this car. Looks great, handles great, lots of room, quiet and comfortable. Ive had this car over a year and have not had any trouble with it. Great gas saver also, I get 30-33 mpg! Cant understand all the negative comments, maybe Ive just been lucky.

  Lots off rattles and squeaks. Less comfort than expected. Poor acceleration and poor handling. seems to slide off the road over bumps.

  I will never purchase another Hyundai - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By trisha - September 13 - 4:50 am

  I presently have 67,000 miles on my car. Recently, I have had nothing but problems it. Although I have done all the scheduled maintenance on this vehicle, everything not covered under warranty is wearing out. In the last couple of months, I have had to put almost $2500 into it to keep it running. I am also being told that the clutch and the power steering are going at this point. I have taken care of the car, and not run it hard. This is my second Hyundai (my first was in the 1980s), and I thought with the warranty I was getting a better car. Not so. The drive train warranty covers only the internal engine and internal tranny parts - the dealerships dont tell you that. Buyer beware.

  Tiburon 2001 - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By TJ - August 3 - 11:33 pm

  I purchased this car new in July 2001. I love the sleek design; exterior and interior. For the price, its not bad. My issues with this car are the lights, the trunk and the seat belts. The seat belts are very "sensitive." If I make even the slightest move, it locks up on me. I have to literally slam the trunk so it can close; if not, the trunk light will stay on. I think this car might have electrical issues; headlights constantly need replacing, sometimes, theres a ringing noise that goes off after the car has been running for 15 minutes. The tires that came with the car are horrible, especially in the rain and snow. Explains why they have such a great warranty.

  Not so Happy - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By notsohappy - June 19 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my Tib for a year and a half and am not too happy with it. I have had no mechanical problems, but many annoying minor problems. Ive had the driver side seatbelt replaced for not retracting, both headlights and fog lights have been replaced twice in the past 6 months, windshield wipers actually got stuck together in a rain storm, driver side running panel is warped, paint chips VERY easily, and bird poop eats right through the paint (even when washed off within a few days). Other than that, its fun to drive. But, I am not sure I would buy another.

  i love this car - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By erica l. - May 20 - 10:43 am

  ive got a 5 speed silver 2001 tiburon at thanksgiving. i first fell in love with the tib as one sailed past me on the highway earlier in the year, and for the same money, id much rather have the tib than a civic. better customer service, the car is so much fun, better warranty, and id rather have a unique tib than the same old civic or corolla. it is zippy, can keep up with just about anyone, the stereo is great, it responds well, it gets good gas mileage (usually about 28 mpg).

  If you drive it, youll buy it! - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Hands - May 7 - 10:00 am

  After 19 months and 16,000 miles the Tiburon still runs and rides like new. No problems and lots of looks and comments. Two of my friends bought them after seeing and driving mine and theyre just as happy. For the $$$ you absolutely cant go wrong. And now, as an added plus, resale on them is great! Only complaint is the paint...could be a lot tougher. Go for it!

  Hyuandais are Awesome - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By tommigirl_tlc - April 2 - 2:00 am

  I love to drive my car.....It is fun and sporty and buying gas doesnt clean out my bank account....I can drive from Monroe Louisiana to Dallas Texas on one tank of gas....It is perfect for the college student who loves to save money and still have adventures.
