Used 2000 Hyundai Tiburon Consumer Reviews
Some Quirky problems
I loved my Tiburon. Well, aside from a few quirky problems. There are some electrical issues, I have blown many head lights. I also have problems with Oxygen sensors in the exhaust system.I have had to have 4 sensors replaced in the last couple of years. My emergency brake cable broke this year with 61,000 miles on the car. (It's 6 years old)It still looks sharp though. As much as I've really enjoyed owning this car, the O2 sensor problem is making me consider unloading it now, for fear of another $210 repair bill, now that I am off of warranty.
1.8lt 1999-2000 coupe
love the car, I brought it two months ago from Melbourne (2014) it only has 150,000kms on the clock. I had to fix the passenger window which cost me nothing, just some time as well as a cracked manifold which we ordered a new one for $150 and some time to fix the windshield wiper switch (stalk), the car came with a new windshield and battery but will need a/c re gassing ($200) it is super comfy and I highly recommend getting one P.S I got it for $1,600AUD
Heed my warning! I love this car, but...
I love this car; the style, the way it sits on the road, handles the corners. Unfortunately for me I found out after the fact that Hyundai has some major transmission problems. I bought it at 33,000 miles as the 2nd owner and had a 60,000m warranty. The tranmission started acting up not too long after; losing 1st gear, not shifting out of 2nd gear unless you shut the car off. Hyundai said they couldn't find a thing wrong, until my warranty expired. Less than 2,000 later, they tell me I need a new tranmission. To the tune of $1,700. Now, just 1 1/2yrs, I'm getting rid of it b/c it's doing the same exact thing it did before the rebuild. Love the car but, please learn from my bad experience.
Awesome car!
I bought this car for my daughter for when she turned 16 yrs old. I got to drive it for two yrs before having to hand the keys over! I absolutely LOVE this car. It looks great, handles great and was a great price. Now that my daughter drives it, I actually miss the car! BTW-my daughter is in love with the car too!
one great car
This has been a great car and fun to drive. I got this car it 0.10 miles on it and it now has 305,718.00 and it is just now on its way out. I has just had 2 clutches and one tranny ( 1 clutch and tranny) broken due to a bad shift in to 2nd gear at 80mph. just a great car.
