Bang For Buck - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
By Dale Cummings - October 17 - 12:13 amThe Tiburon SE is alot of car for the money(ESC,TCM,Sport tuned suspention, which gives it a much better ride than the GT). I drove all the Tibs and the SE gets 4 stars in the fun factor. I was looking at the 350Z but didnt want to pay another 7-10K more for a car that seemed to handle the same as the SE. And storage was an issue too. 14.5 cubic feet in the back, plenty of room for a week on the road. Its not the fastest car in its price range, but it looks and feels like a sports car. In world of boring bubble cars this little hot rod stands out in the crowd.

pretty good car - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
By JoeDon - September 12 - 1:10 pmI bought this car because it was the first "Nice car" I could get. I had driven beaters until this car. It handles pretty well, I live in the country and Ive only lost traction once on a turn. Power is pretty good, but for the size of the engine it should have much more power. I love the looks of the car inside and out, styling is great. One aggravating thing is the 4 gear auto transmission, whenever driven on the highway it could much better if it had a 5th gear, and probably much better mpg. Bad choice of only 4 gears. Recently hit a deer at 55 mph and car held up well, only had to replace a headlight and the hood. All in all, a decent buy for a cheaper sporty car. Mpg on highway is great

One Year Later... - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
By Joe - August 1 - 10:36 amFirst, I gave the performance a 5 because a stock GS can hardly get out of its own way but for less than a GT costs you can upgrade performance parts that will not void the warranty and make it faster than a GT or SE. With that said. The car is way under priced! Exterior design is somewhat exotic and the interior, even after a year, is still not boring. Since owning the car Ive had to replace my interior carpet because a hole wore in just below the gas pedal. That can be blamed on the dealer because they never gave me floor mats. Overall this is an awesome car but if you can afford it go with the GT or SE.

Not so sure... - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
By bd - February 6 - 6:36 amReally nice car to look at, but to drive - Im not sure yet. Its got some great features, does well on the MPG - I got a amazing deal on it but the car lacks a little power and feels heavy at speed. It almost seems like one of those midlife crisis cars that have appearance but no substance?

It is what it is! James Bond car at a discount! - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
By teinte31 - December 6 - 2:18 pmIm writing this review to basically respond to the Edmunds review. Ive had my GT V6 for 6 years now and have had not one problem with it. I feel the Edmunds review was very harsh towards the Tiburons power/engine. Guess what guys? Its not a Corvette! It is what it is, I knew when I bought it after the test drive it was weak, but I still bought it because it has the sexiest body style Ive ever seen. Thats why its nicknamed a Baby Aston Martin... Its a great tuner car as well, Ive put a cold air intake/exhaust/headers on mine and I can vouch the Tiburon has enormous power...Its just harnessed by the factory specs and state laws. Dont blame the Tiburon for that...I love it!

Cool Ride - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
By Mike - February 22 - 10:03 amI owned this car for 1 year now, and has no problem with it. Still perform great, I have no problem with the performance of the car, as I can easily overtake any audis, bmws or benzies on the highway. Its true that the tiburon is not as powerful as some other high performance sport cars, but speed defend on both the driver and the car not just the car alone. The tib can easily do 180 km/h, but then again only pro race car drivers would drive any faster... Simply put, the tiburon is best of class in term of price per features. If you crave that extra power then you can easily add a supercharger on your tiby for only a few grands.

Impressive Tib SE - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
By bnick - May 22 - 2:13 pmGreat car! The exterior styling is what let me to purchase the Tiburon. The price was well below comparable sports cars. My MPG is slightly better than I was expecting based on the published MPG. On the low end I have never got fewer than 24, and the highest has been 29. I now have driven it to 23,000 miles with no mechanical problems. A little wear spot on the leather seat bolster. The 6th gear, ratio, could be a little higher it "tacks" about 900rpms higher that my old 5sp Mits. Eclipse at 60MPH. It could do better on fuel consumption if the 1-6th gear ratios were different, especially 6th. There is noticeable acceleration steer. The accelerator pedal and brake pedal are to close together.

UNDERpowered - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
By MOdriver - December 28 - 10:00 amI bought mine w/ 5000 miles, put 38,000 on it. Sold it because i had a family and you can BARELY squeeze a baby seat in the back, not practical. I bought it thinking this would be a peppy sports car, but was disappointed. Going from my Saturn to this was a step up, but not much. 170 hp and still only be in the 23mpg highway area makes this car not worth the money. It was reliable, handled fairly well, nice ride, and comfortable.

Still a good car - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
By Maine - September 27 - 5:00 pmIve owned a 97 Tiburon, a 03 tiburon, and am now the proud owner of a 07 tiburon. I love the line, its always provided me with fun driving and this year is no different. The most notable is the chassis just feels stiffer then ever. The steering is very tight and gives that racing feel. The 07 looks better then ever and Im enjoying it. I suppose when the new model comes out in 09 I will wait till around 12 and purchase that year! keep up the good work Hyundai

Great look but overall JUNK - 2007 Hyundai Tiburon
By shadowh127 - May 24 - 3:01 pmI bought my SE 14 months ago with 15,000 miles. It now has 35,000 miles on it and Im told needs a new clutch for $3000. I reported a problem from the 1st week and again 3 additional times prior to this past week but because they couldnt duplicate the problem dismissed it. It has been into the Hyundai dealership over a dozen times for things such as: sunroof not functioning properly, bad tpms sensors, faulty driver buckle pretensioner (causing airbag light to come on), cruise control didnt work, fuel gauge faulty, temp guage, acceleration issues - CLUTCH. Do your research prior to buying any Tiburon, they seem to have many similar issues. I will NEVER buy a Hyundai again!
