  Hyundai just gets better and better - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Dr. Gary - January 7 - 12:03 am

  This is my 4th Hyundai (2 Elantra GTs, Tucson) and I can not say enough good things about all of them. I am 56, a former test driver, racer etc. and the quality and cost/benefit ratio of owning a Hyundai is clearly above all others. The new Tib is simply, to me, stunning in its purity and is an improved version of the Ferrari 456 it was designed after. The interior is clean and functional, the ride tight and controlled, the braking linear and the 4cyl is more than adequate with the quick shifting close ratio 5sp. With only 500 (engine still not broken in) miles on it, I got 35.2 hwy at a steady 65mph- thats hard to beat and equals the Elantra. And, every day someone asks me what it is.

  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.

  2002 Tiburon - 2000 Hyundai Tiburon
  By tigerlady - December 24 - 10:00 am

  If you are taking long or short trips the Tiburon is the way to go. Old or young will enjoy this car. The gas mileage is terrific.

  a lot of car for the money - 2004 Hyundai Tiburon
  By thejumpinjoe - December 21 - 10:00 am

  was reluctant to buy a "hyundai" you know a cheap, korean car. the jd powers rating helped, and the cost of replacing my 8 year old eclipse with a new (and ugly) eclipse wasnt appealing. ive been pleasantly suprised. i love the look (its a pint- size ferrari 456 gt) the interior is well laid out and the steering/shifter is near perfect. got a great deal on it and the car is very nicely equipped.

  great car for the money - 2008 Hyundai Tiburon
  By ed - December 12 - 7:36 am

  Youre not going to get the styling & features for the money in any other car. My main complaint is I could use a little more headroom. The sun roof takes away some of the headroom. Im used to driving cars in this price range & I have to say this is the sportiest car Ive had in a long time. Gas mileage could be better. I dont think I get the mileage advertised. Seems like I dont get very far on a tank of gas.

  Faulty Design - 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Michael82 - December 7 - 10:00 am

  The base manual 4 cylinder Tiburon is not recommended by me. The engines idle stays very high, (around 2-3,000 RPM) and makes for a horrible shift, while wearing out the clutch. My Tiburon has 7,500 miles and the clutch is starting to shatter. I once timed how long it took for it to idle down while coasting, exceeded 30 seconds, only stopping because i came to a complete stop. Hyundai made it clear that they will not help in any way because thats how they say they designed it. I would like to have known that before i bought it!! I did drive one prior to this purchase which did NOT perform the same way. Basically Hyundai is not standing behind this vehicle!!!

Well yeah if i wanted to pay 500- and whats more it was only 6 months off the line. Thxs and sorry never again
