  I Love it, I love it, I love it! - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By CEM879 - July 31 - 10:00 am

  I love this car! Before I was never a big foreign car fan, but after I saw the Tiburon, I started only looking at foreign cars. I got so much for the price! Everyone stares at the car when they see it. I love the attention!

  I wouldnt buy another one - 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Rae - July 14 - 2:03 pm

  I am just so used to my Toyotas that the quality of this car just stinks in comparison. The consul is already scratched up, it rides really rough. It jerks and feels like it is out of balance but the dealer says it is not. It looks like it has some power but it doesnt at all. I will never buy another Hyunai car again.

  Its like a video game... - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By s0cks - July 14 - 10:00 am

  The first thing that sold me on this car was the look and options. After driving the Tiburon for the first time, I knew I had to have it, so I bought it. This car is so much fun to drive and be seen in. I love it.

  hyundai for life - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By jackie - July 8 - 10:00 am

  My first car i purchased on my own was a Hyundai accent. it was very affordable with gas and maintenence. The only money i ever spent was for the tires and brakes..THATs IT! So when it came time to upgrade 7 years later, of course my first thoughts were about the NEW 2003 Tiburon "shark". It was in my price range-under 20,000!!! Including leather interior,abs,cruise, alloy etc. etc. etc. All i have to say is Im a hot girl in a hot car.

  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.

  Great car thats fun to drive. - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Optimummind - June 15 - 11:30 pm

  Im the original owner with over 60K miles now and Im still loving this car. It runs great, performance is good, exterior & interior styling is excellent, its comfortable, and the car is easy to maintain for the do-it-yourselfer. The car has been very reliable--more so than my previous Corolla and Civic Ex. Im very impressed with Hyundai on this car. Even after all these years, its great to get compliments on the styling of this car and the looks I get from fellow drivers and pedestrians.

  Great car at a bargain price - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Florida Jeff - June 15 - 10:00 am

  Compared to my Toyota Celica this car is fantastic. The Celica has a cheap interior, average quality of materials and is expensive. For the same money Hyundai gives you a V6 vs a 4, attention to detail inside and out, more standard features and a better warranty. To me it is the best value in this catagory.

  Fun to Drive at This Price! - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By IsaacD - June 12 - 5:40 am

  For some reason, Consumer Reports decided that this car isnt reliable. I cant understand why. If youre not a racer, then youll find plenty of performance under the hood. Shifting has never been an issue. And I have more than once received comments from passers-by about the appearance. Of course, there are some shortcomings. But the negatives entirely depend upon your lifestyle. The rear seat is non- existant and road noise is a little much. As with all front wheel drives, torque steering is an issue. No matter these issues, however, I absolutely love driving this car!

  problem with the paint - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Nancyowner - June 10 - 10:00 am

  Loved my new tiburon when I first got it 3 month ago. But now I have only 2000 miles on it and had bird droppings on the car for 2 days. Ate the paint off the car was told this is not covered under the warranty as an act of god. I was told by they dealer and from the Hyundia national service number they cant do anything for me because it is an act of god that a bird left its dropping on my car. What isnt an act of god. If this way about paint warranty how are they going to stand behind the power train warranty. I have owned 3 new car before this one and have never had this problem. And I have never been treated so rudely as I was by this dealer.
