  TO MUCH ROAD NOISE - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By SCOTT JARVI - June 17 - 10:00 am

  actually find this car to be decent,hard to get into reverse at times, at 11000 miles seems to be a well built car..with the exception of the road noise.. would perfer a standard rear wiper for safety issues. for the price with the warranty a pretty good deal

  GT-R - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Superstar - May 30 - 2:00 am

  Ever since the Tib went on sale in 1997, i wanted this car. It looked like nothing i had ever seen, and for a cheap amount. my grandfather bought me a used blue 2001 tib with 10,400 miles. ive now had it for 8 months and has been so much fun. i prob wash it atleast once a week. sufficient amount of pick up for an economy car and is fun to shift. already have put a magnaflow exhaust and an AEM cold air intake on it. lots more performance for $500 worth of mods. its worth it. overall, great first car for a 16 yr old!

  Much better than you think - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By CL - April 17 - 4:46 am

  This car is pretty good. The only problem Ive had is that my front wheel bearing was shot around 80,000 miles. The dealership fixed it for free under 100,000 mile warranty. No other problems so far and Im nearing the 100,000 mile mark. I do my own oil changes, and did my own tune-up. Paint is still excellent even though I park it outside. I did wax it a couple times. Overall, an excellent car, but not very comfortable because after a long drive, my back hurts. The only time I had to call a tow truck was when I ran out of gas. LOL.

  Tiburon, a nice car for a good price - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Neemo22 - February 3 - 10:00 am

  Generally when you see a new type of car like an eclipse or something along those lines it is marketed and sold for a pretty high price I beleive the eclipse hit 18-19000, which is alot of money. When i needed a new car I looked at the Integra, Tiburon and Civic. I pretty much threw the civic out of the picture it just didnt suit me. So it boiled down the the Tiburon or Integra, and the Tiburon won. It has the same specs as an integra but its 4000 dollars cheaper. Most of the reviews I read said it was not as reliable as the integra but I dont drive that much and it has not given me any problems

  My wonderful piece of CRAP!!! - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By jeremy - February 3 - 10:00 am

  This car is THE WORST car I have EVER owned. I WOULD NOT recommend that ANYONE would buy a piece of crap like this. Ive had it into the dealer many times to get it fixed, and they cant fix the problem. The car has NOT worked right since the day we drove it off the lot. Im ready to take the car back to the dealer, with only about 6500 miles on it. If you are thinking of buying one. DONT!!!!

  resale value - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By kwb50 - September 10 - 2:00 am

  We just sold our Tiburon. We brought it new from Hampton Hyundai. It went for $16000 in January of 2001. When we went to Hampton to trade it in, they only offered us $7000 for it!!! Great car, but dont expect much of a trade in.

  No major problems - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Joshua - February 27 - 10:00 am

  Overall have had a good experience with this vehicle. Only owner. Have had to fix both windows ($300-400 each) and the drivers side is acting up again. Tape deck went bad within a few months, replaced under warranty. ~110,000miles and have changed oil and spark plugs, no issues with engine or other components. Have been in a few (not too major) accidents and was impressed by the safety of such a small car. Handles great in good conditions. So light that drives horrible in snow, not that good on very wet surfaces, and only OK on dirt/gravel. Not enough weight on tires to keep enough friction. Backseat is hard to fit anyone over ~55".Trunk is surprisingly roomy.

  It is what it is. - 2001 Hyundai Tiburon
  By Denis - December 2 - 10:23 pm

  After 8 years the stick is still a fun drive. Typical of exposed braking systems is noise and caliper rattle at times. The headlamp filament is probably too wide for the vibration it receives and is prone to break about every 6 months-- I dont see this as an electrical problem with the headlamps. The brakes are very substantial for the cars weight and braking on slippery roads requires some concentration to maintain control. This was surely designed to be a fun, economical sports car. With TLC and a little help from the warranty, it is exactly that.
