  tiburons - 2000 Hyundai Tiburon
  By caleb m - December 3 - 2:00 am

  Overall i like the car. I like the bubble look on the outside. The headlights need replaced all the time, the battery had to be replaced at 30k, and the transmission had to be replaced at 55k.

  Funnest car to drive - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By aashimphead - December 1 - 10:00 am

  I was looking at the 2001 Tiburons then my fiance found the 2003 and I had to have it. Test drove the 6 speed and fell in love.... my other car is a 99 solara and this beats it hands down for fun driving. I think I have the only one in my area right now.

  Bang For Buck - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Dale Cummings - October 17 - 12:13 am

  The Tiburon SE is alot of car for the money(ESC,TCM,Sport tuned suspention, which gives it a much better ride than the GT). I drove all the Tibs and the SE gets 4 stars in the fun factor. I was looking at the 350Z but didnt want to pay another 7-10K more for a car that seemed to handle the same as the SE. And storage was an issue too. 14.5 cubic feet in the back, plenty of room for a week on the road. Its not the fastest car in its price range, but it looks and feels like a sports car. In world of boring bubble cars this little hot rod stands out in the crowd.

  Water and oil. - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Dkaiser - September 21 - 10:00 am

  This car is great for a first new car. It has great looks great handling great performance overall. Car takes corners quick, and has tourque to pull you out quickly. However the build quality is weak. My interior plastic coating flakes apart. It has already been replaced once. Also, while going 90mph, the front airdam flexes alot, and the wheel dam cam apart and got trapt under the wheel ripping it apart. It was scarry to say the least. If you live in the snowy states, be sure to buy snow tires for it, the tires are great for the street, but had NO TRACTION in the winter time.

  pretty good car - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
  By JoeDon - September 12 - 1:10 pm

  I bought this car because it was the first "Nice car" I could get. I had driven beaters until this car. It handles pretty well, I live in the country and Ive only lost traction once on a turn. Power is pretty good, but for the size of the engine it should have much more power. I love the looks of the car inside and out, styling is great. One aggravating thing is the 4 gear auto transmission, whenever driven on the highway it could much better if it had a 5th gear, and probably much better mpg. Bad choice of only 4 gears. Recently hit a deer at 55 mph and car held up well, only had to replace a headlight and the hood. All in all, a decent buy for a cheaper sporty car. Mpg on highway is great

  dntbuyit - 2005 Hyundai Tiburon
  By dontbuyit - August 31 - 12:30 am

  I bought this vehicle from the dealership at first the vehilce was fine, i got 1/2 mi down the road they never put antifreeze in the car!! then they drove me around in circles on what they were going to do. I called hyundai Motor America and they have not called back in 3 weeks on what is going on they said they would trade out vehicle. Nothing has happened. Some plastic pieces are allready falling off the car. and it has 1400 mi not worth the money that they want for it. unless its free dont bother buy a mini cooper S instead!!!!

  MyTibby - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Dan - July 26 - 3:20 am

  I bought the car new in 2002 , the year they skipped and introd the 2003. I fell in love with the model on first sight , so it was the ultimate impulse buy. This model is FUN to drive.Very nimble in city traffic! A great ride for the handling enthuiast. Some people find it under powered , but I never thought so. I am a Bear (55" , 210lbs) of a guy , and it wasnt always the easiest fit , but I learned to love this little hot rod of mine!

  A great coupe for less than $20K - 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
  By rallyandbosox - July 23 - 2:46 pm

  Ive had this car since March and have to say it is a fun little car. First, the engine lacks a great deal of power. I do a lot of highway driving, and the on-ramps kill me with how slow the car picks up speed. 138hp is not enough for the car. While the car is fun to drive on streets for the most part, its pick up is just ridiculous. Looks wise, the rear-end of the car is great but the front just looks old-school Hyundai. The headlight revision is an improvement but not much more. I expected fuel efficiency to be a bit better considering it was a 138bhp 2.0L engine. Interior is awesome. The "subwoofer" is cheap and rattles too much. Seats are great, but dont sit on your wallet.

  Too Much Fun! - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By F&F - July 21 - 10:00 am

  Sexy, sleek, powerful, and did I say sexy? If you pull up next to me, expect some fierce competition. This car is made for people who love to drive. I do not recommend getting any other model besides the GT V-6 with 6-spd transmission and the "Ultra Sports Package 3." Too much fun!!!!
