Bought it brand new in 2000, seemed like a good deal. Sporty, but the interior leather is junk and starts to wear right away. Not comfortable if you are tall.Forget trying to trade it in even at the dealership where u bought it. They will just tell you the market is dead and that they will give you 3000 below wholesale. The paint is garbage too it chips if you look at it funny.Never had any mechanical problems but I only had about 15k miles on it when I got rid of it. Under no circumstances should you pay over DEALER INVOICE for this car! And do not buy if you dont plan on keeping it for a long time.

Runs great and fun to drive. However, pulls to the side when hitting a bump or pothole. Very bad in snow. In snow and sleet, drives like a rear wheel drive or does not go at all. great summer time car. fast and sporty!

Why am I addicted to this car??

I love this car. I have had numerous problems and I can't figure out for the life of me why I still love it. Having said that let me talk about all the problems: faulty seatbelt and radio recalled, 7 bad headlamps in first year, passenger window stopped/started working, bad relay on fan blower, dead battery at 40K, new battery dead at 42K. I think there is a fundamental electrical problem, but 4 dealers can't find anything. So why am I addicted to this car?? I can't explain it. But I would buy it again still. go figure...

Fun and fast - but what's that noise?

Unique styling and great fun to drive. Bought new almost three years ago as a mid-life crisis car, and it has been an excellent value for the money. The combination of the vehicle weight, powertrain, and suspension system is fabulous, especially when you compare it to cars in its class that cost many thousands of dollars more. I am about to take it in (less than 28,000 miles now) to see what the dealer has to say about a strange "clacking" noise that seems to be emanating from between the dash and the windshield on the driver's side on bumpy pavement. In sum, if Hyundai can build these things just a little tighter, I'd certainly buy another "Tib."

Overall i like the car. I like the bubble look on the outside. The headlights need replaced all the time, the battery had to be replaced at 30k, and the transmission had to be replaced at 55k.
