  Tiburiburon - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By iridespinners - February 12 - 2:00 am

  never would have given Hyundai a second thought but the interior was great looking and compared to a Celica, it was like 5 grand cheaper and w/ a few more options. Warranty is the best and this car is super reliable. Common problems are headlight bulbs and wheel bearings which are covered in warranty. car is so customizable w/ aftermarket parts and I got SO many compliments from what I did to it. I made people w/ cars that cost so much more look like nothing. I am so pleased with Hyundai and their service and if they came out with a "real sports car" Id for surely buy it. I crashed my tib and truely miss it as do many people. Its truly one of a kind.

  Secret sport coupe - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Tiburon love - December 31 - 10:16 pm

  People are constantly poking fun at my "hyundai"! But it is by far the step child of sport compacts and the moxt under estimated, it handles just as weel if not better than its competitors and on it "on days" it can out accelerate any sport compact with equivalent performace talking about the motor... Its seems a little temperamental at times depending on weather and road conditions, it may not perform as well but still thrills me every time I hit the accelerator and throw it through a hard curve!

  My second Tiburon - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By benebsm - December 26 - 10:00 am

  I am on my second Tiburon and I have become a true believer in the Hyundai product. I agree with the prior reviewer about the cluttered design in the radio/cup holder/ash tray area. Otherwise- I have logged in almost 100k miles on my Tibs and all I have ever had to do is replace the headlights (must be a flaw there). Otherwise, these cars are reliable, fun to drive and really unique looking.

  By Angel - November 30 - 7:53 am

  it looked nice. it ran like junk . When it rained the lights blew out. The tranny was bad and the color was awful. The paint job on them was bad and honestly i will never ever buy another one ever again . We let them know the paint was peeling and they said its under warranty . Well yeah if i wanted to pay 500- and whats more it was only 6 months off the line. Thxs and sorry never again

  Dont buy it, its not worth it!! - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Stupid Car - September 21 - 11:03 am

  This being my first car was nice when I got it. There were a couple things wrong but nothing big. After I had it for 3 months it needed new tires, new headlights and new taillights. It had about 40,000 miles on it when I got it and it now has 90,000 in the time that I have had it I put around $3,000 into it. Now it needs new belts, a new transmission, a new motor for the window because it never goes up once you get it down all the way. Once you start the car it doesnt stop squeaking. I have kept up with all of the usual maintenance and gotten tune ups when needed but it still runs like crap. The tilt steering wheel takes a lot of pressure to get it to move.

  nice car for the price - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By andrew - May 22 - 3:06 am

  Ive had this car since 2006 and have put 24,000 on it so far. Ive replaced the belts and front brake pads; done my own oil changes and had the atf replaced. The automatic tranny has never felt right, it shifts weird but has never broke down. The power is decent and the handling is ok. The brakes are fantastic but to sensitive at times. I locked the left front wheel only in a sudden stop and the car had handling issues after that. Its noisy even with the windows rolled but the sunroof is a great feature. The fuel regulator leaked so I replaced it but the new one started leaking after a year. The stereo is possessed. Cant skip forward on a cd just back, changes from radio to cd on its own.

  Great Ride - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By FDNYtib - December 11 - 12:13 am

  I got the tib in the summer, and its doing great, i have over 11,000 miles on it (using it to commute) and its consistantly had great milage and no performance problems. Only complaint is that there is a lot of road noise, but the stereo upgrade drowns that out. Great city car, easy to park, lots of pep when you need it.

  Love my Tiburon - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Yellow Tib - September 19 - 10:00 am

  Ive had the car from a couple of years now and have driven it pretty much from one end of the US and back again with no problems whatsoever. The car is a huge amount of fun to drive, especially for the price that I paid. My version is a stick shift, so I have no complaints on the power but I imagine as an automatic youd definitely notice the difference. As a little extra bonus, I regularly get compliments from strangers on the looks of my vehicle which has never happened to me before. I know Hyundai has a bad rep but I would have no problem recommending the vehicle to anyone and have no plans to trade it in anytime soon.

  Tiburon - value and fun to drive - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By David Varnam - August 30 - 10:00 am

  My previous car was a Dodge Neon - what a mistake! By comparison the Tiburon is a delight to drive. Even the selling experience was not unpleasant. Two problems to date - both fixed quickly and at NO cost under the great warranty. Highly recommend this model.
