  • My little red GT - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    Only problems Ive ever had were with the roof bracket. It keeps coming loose and Ive had it fixed now three times... this time I only made it about 7 miles from the dealership and its loose again. Other than that, I love this car!

    LOOKs that just will not stop. Just a great little car to drive. BUT the dealers are few and and getting to be less and less. I think its the super warranty that comes with the car. I have found that it could loose a little weight, Driver head room is limited and the V6 gets about 22mpg. If you push hard you can get it for less than MSRP. All in All Id buy another one.

    Husky sound from the exhaust! 6 speed, all leather interior, premium sound system, great value!!! If you are thinking of whether you would have buyers remorse after purchasing this car, let me help you!! Just buy it. Great on fuel, great on style. Sun roof gets a 10.

  • Shark by any other name - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    I knew when I first sat in a Tib at the autoshow that Hyundai had turned themselves around. I went with a friend a couple of months later for a test drive on a whim, more for fun than to purchase. We were both blown away. Fit and finish are great, quality of materials is above what the price would suggest. I ended up purchase my Tib in Nov 03. I cant tell you how many compliments i have gotten, and how many times ive been forced to open the door to let people get a look inside. Everyone that has gone anywhere with me has just ranted and raved about the car. If im feeling cranky I slip the trans into manual mode and drive some fun.

  • My Tibby - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    Im 17 years old and still in high school so I needed something kinda sporty that I wouldnt get made fun of but still wouldnt kill me with insurance and gas prices. So after a month I finally found the Hyundai tiburon. Ive owned it about a month now and I love it. I love the way it handles and the purr of the engine (even with a inline four cylinder) when I start it up and it idles. I wish it could go faster than 130 mph but Im not complaining. The interior is pretty sweet. It doesnt look cheap. The body style is pretty slick looking too. I get a lot of looks when im driving around town. Being in a city in North Dakota you kinda stick out with a sportier car.

  • Hot Car Inside and Out - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon

    I love my Tibby. I have gotten so many great comments on it. I did have a lot of trouble with the power windows, but I think it had more to do with the certain dealership I had been taking it to. Overall, I love my car, especially the body style. Its so fun to drive, and I feel like a million bucks while Im in it.

  • Loved the vehicle but biggest NIGHTMARE! - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    Bought the car, ran great until i hit about 70000 miles. Engine spun a bearing. Had to replace engine even after following all of the manuf. recommendations and what not had reg oil change proofs and what not. Called hyundai usa (which is a joke) The car cost me $17000 dollars $4000 engine work went through 4 engines in 6 months I never once beat this car or anything I treated it like gold. My 2 year old and I used the vehicle to commute. cost me $3000 when I traded it in. Hyundai will never get a penny from me they are a rip off!!! Dont ever buy any Hyundai!! Friends owned and agree.

  • Most Sportiness for the Money - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    This is a two-seater car. The "rear seat" is for lower insurance rates and gym bags. Im glad they fold down though. You can easily fit four 16" wheels with 225/60 tires in the back with room to spare. The rear wiper helps to see behind and when backing up in rain and snow. Beware with 05, dont know why it was discontinued for 05. Holds corners pretty well considering its smooth ride. Ive had mine for 13 months and put 20K miles on it. 2004 GT V6 6-spd with leather, ABS, moonroof, 360W sound with subwoofer. The 04 GT V6 was the only Tiburon that I could get the leather seats, 6-spd man trans, upgraded sound system with subwoofer, high spoiler, aluminum pedals all in one package. Great car.

  • not bad - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    I have had my 2003 Tiburon for over 1 1/2 years. I too have had problems with my windows and some with my sunroof cover. At 30k miles my battery went bad. Thank goodness for the warranty. Also when I am going down the highway at 75 mph the RPMs are around 3500-4000. This took some getting used to. I asked the dealer and they claimed the car is geared low. I didnt expect a really luxurious car for the money, so I am not really to disappointed at the lack of quality in the interior of the car, and a lot of people have commented on the style of the car, especially when I first bought it.

  • Nice Style, Efficiency, and Reliability - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    I purchased my Tiburon new in January of 04. I was initially impressed with the style and features offered on a car in this price range. I know that Hyundai used to build junk but they were attempting to re-brand themselves around 03-04 and I really liked the Tibby then, so I bought one. I love my car. I have over 100,000 miles on it and the only problem I have had is around 40,000 the rotors had to be replaced. I change the oil every 6,500 miles and the car runs great, looks great, drives great, and is so versatile. I love that I can flip the seats down and throw my roadbike in the trunk. Overall, probably the most car you could get for around $16,800. And the new ones are even sexier!
