2008 Hyundai Tiburon GS 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 4A)
Review
My 2208 Hyundai Tiburon GS is my first BRAND NEW car ever & was DEFINITELY worth the wait. Everything about this car is awesome...and you can't beat Hyundai's warranty either. I was looking for a cute *sportsy* car that was good on gas AND insurance...this fit the bill. The 4 cyl. has more than enough power to get you moving when you want it! And it took me awhile to get used to all the head turning looks that this vehicle gets while you're driving.
Favorite Features
Sport seats are extremely comfortable...Kenwood system...road handling & solid weight...brakes...vision...blue illumination lights...headlights & highbeams...i love everything about this car!
Suggested Improvements
Make sunroof standard!!!

2008 Hyundai Tiburon GT 2dr Hatchback (2.7L 6cyl 4A)
Review
From the moment I test drove this vehicle, I was pleasantly surprised with how sporty and fun it is to drive. It has plenty of pep in the motor and the handling is nimble enough to qualify as a legitimate sport coupe. For the price and performance, I think the Tiburon is a diamond in the rough.
Favorite Features
The sound system is good, but not great. Also, the instrument/dash setup is unique and pleasing to the eye. Overall, the interior is nicely done, and leaves you with a satisfied feeling. This car is simply fun!
Suggested Improvements
For a sporty car, I found that the braking is only adequate. The exhaust noise is somewhat loud, but I like a car with a little roar.

2008 Hyundai Tiburon GS 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 4A)
Review
I have 1300 miles on my new Tiburon. Much fun to drive. The 4 cyl engine is almost enough power. I chose the small engine for the fuel economy, and its acceptable.
Favorite Features
Excellent brakes and handling. Car feels solid
Suggested Improvements
The Kenwood radio and speakers are not the quality I like. The horn sounds like a bicycle.

Gas mileage really changes city to highway , in city 21 to 23, hwy 23 to 27mpg. The ride is very sweet. steering is good and tight, interior is very sharp. stereo blows my BOSE system in my avalanche, sounds Great..

Love the look of this vehicle, and so does every one i drive by.. Co workers are wondering how i afford it. I have the black with black interior, It looks real hot...
Suggested Improvements
Wish that the 4cyl had batter pick up even the 4cyl elantras that weve had (2002,2005 and now 2007) have better acceleration. however dont need to drive fast to enjoy this vehicle..

2008 Hyundai Tiburon GS 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 4A)
Review
Fun little sporty car that looks hot and has a nice interior to match. My car handles very well, gets decent mpg from the little 2.0 and with manual mode has nice acceleration. I test drove a Honda Accord coupe 4 cylinder, but this car has tighter handling, better warranty for $4000 less.
Favorite Features
love the sport shifter and looks of the car.
Suggested Improvements
A turbo charged version would be nice.

2008 Hyundai Tiburon GS 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I have owned 4 manual cars in my lifetime and have never had to replace a clutch until now. I have had to replace the clutch on my 2008 Tiburon 2 times already and it has come out of my pocket. Hyundai says the clutch is a normal wear and tear item and is not covered under warranty. My alternator went bad a month ago and hyundai took care of everything. If you buy this car get an Automatic or you will be kicking yourself later. The car is truly fun to drive and the redesigned headlights make it look great.
Favorite Features
Sunroof and Blue lights on inside.
Suggested Improvements
Durability of clutch.
