  • Sweet Ride - 2005 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    What first attracted me to the car was its looks.This thing looks like a mini Ferrari 356. Its hard to believe it was designed in Korea, and not Italy or southern California. I rolled off the lot - tax, tags and title for $20,300. Not bad for a car with every bell and whistle you can think of!

  • MOSTLY SATISFIED WITH A FEW MINOR ISSUES - 2005 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    I drove the RSX-S, WRX, and Scion TC before purchasing my Tib. Those 4- bangers just can compare to the power and torque of the V6 this car has. Stylish exterior with a high-quality interior...great sound system. So far so good but Ive had to have it aligned and the clutch is shuddering at only 6K miles which makes me a little concerned about the long-term reliability of this vehicle. My only truly major complaint is the choppy, cheap suspension which is just garbage compared to other vehicles in this class. Does not take bumps well at all but handles okay otherwise. Vague clutch. A very smooth and comfortable highway car though. Loaded with options...a real value for the money.

  • I love my Tib! - 2005 Hyundai Tiburon

    Ive owned a Ford Mustang LX 5.0 & an Acura Integra GS-R in the past, & this car is just as fun & handles just as well. It could use more pick up/power, but thats my fault for not spending the extra $ to buy the V6. Too bad I had such a horrible experience w/the Hyundai dealer not honoring the lemon law on a used Acura Integra LS they sold me before I bought the Tib.

    This is a great car. much improved over the years. Great handling. The new styling is so nice; I much prefer the new grill and air dam. The car is pretty quick and loves to go fast!

    I bought my tib a little over two weeks ago, 05 GT V6 5M, leather everything, sunroof, infinity system, 17" inch rims, free extended warranty (yes free), for 16,900 off the lot. Great car, pretty quick, handles great, solid ride, perfect style.

  • My Tib is a Shark - 2005 Hyundai Tiburon

    My Tiburon is probably the best car Ive had so far... Its sporty and fun to drive, it handles well, and mine has been extremely reliable. And, its nice to know that if anything ever went wrong theres a nice 100,000 miles/10 year warranty that comes along with the vehicle!

  • Super Car! (just avoid the dealer!) - 2005 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    Test drove both the RX-8 and the 05 Mustang. MUCH more room inside than the Mustang, cool sporty looks like the RX- 8, better Warranty than both! Better value than both RX-8 or Mustang! I wager I get more questions about what kinda car the Tiburon is than I would driving an "everyone-knows-car" mustang (ho-hum) and the RX-8 which resembles most of the other Mazada models... Want a head-turner for low cost? This is the one youve been looking for!

  • Amazing, Great drivers car - 2005 Hyundai Tiburon
    By -

    Fun to drive, even with a 2.0 4 cylinder it has quite a bit of power compared to some other 4 cylinders. gets going quick, and looks great. when im stopped at a red light i can see people driving by in mustangs and camaros looking at it. a little hard on pot holes, but on smooth road its like a dream.
