This car is way past its prime, so I'm going to make sure to stick to how it was "back in the day". I owned this car back when it came out, and still do! Back when the Tiburon came out in 1996, this car would outperform almost every car in its price range. You'd have to move up another $5k to Eclipse territory to get beat. It was considered very sporty and had a futuristic sleek design that you either loved or hated. It seemed to be split 50/50 back then, but today I get compliments and questions by everyone I meet. I am lucky to own one of the rare FX models with the shark spoiler. Definitely a head turner! This car is just a little toy for me now since I've grown into more expensive vehicles, but the boy in me still loves to hop in and tear it up. What I love most about this car after it being 20yrs old now, is the ability to easily diagnose and fix almost any problem cheaply. It's still a solid and reliable car (considering its age), but it's almost fun to do repairs as it doesn't break the bank or take up your weekend. If you can find one of these not needing a new paint job or body work, I highly suggest picking one up as a fun and economical car to enjoy. They just don't make cars like these anymore: Simple, Cheap, and Fun!

My car is pushing 200000 miles,I thought it needed a new transmission, but changed the transmission FILTER and it is fine, just no overdrive? That filter was $25.00 a new transmission...too much. Now, if I didn't have a little body damage...I might go ahead and put a rebuilt transmission in, that's how much I like the car.

I have owned other cars before including Honda and Toyota. This car ranks right up there with them. It handles great and runs like a higher end car. I really recommend this car if you love to drive.
Like the energizer bunny!

This was a demo when I bought it in 98' and it had 1,120 miles on it. I love it! In the past 7 years the paint faded off and had to be repainted, the rubber pads fell off the brake and clutch, the cluch pin jammed leaving me in 2nd gear, and the clutch was replaced, and the wiring to the turn signals shorted out. That may sound like alot, but you have to consider it's age and the reputation of Hyundai, plus it currently has 112k miles on it! Great car, very fun to drive and dependable!
owned for less than a year

Radiator is crap, it's cracked along the seam. Blown head gasket due to thermostat sticking (according to Hyundai). Starting to get rust around wheel wells and rusting out in tire well. Very pokey til I added a racing exhaust and cold air intake, did a port and Polish on intake and head but haven't tested that yet due to trying to finish up the blown head gasket fix. Paint is faded bad on hood. Do not put a bra on your car !, looks better but kills the paint job as I found out from the previous owner doing so !
