I have had this car since it was new. I have 174,000 miles on it currently. I have had no transmission issues or engine issues. Have gone thru two water pumps. Two timing belts, one set of rotors and 3 sets of tires. I would say their ac has issues. I had the car in four times and finally at 130,000 miles the regional manager ok'ed them to replace the whole ac system in my car free of charge. I think their paint could be better but I did get a great deal and the car has served me very faithfully. I drive all over the state, thru snow, rain and hot temperate weather. This car has done it all. I am finally letting it go as a baby doesn't fit all that great in it. I will miss my tiburon.

I have had the car for about 2 years and nothing has gone wrong with it... other than a deer running into the side of it. (850 bucks) I have a cold air intake, catback exhaust because I felt like the 2.7 v6 with the 6 speed tran was a lil under powered with 172 hp. I also run premium fuel and I'm at about 200 hp now, the 17 inch rims were nice but I replaced them with 18 inch black lighter weight wheels . stock the cars says it will do 0-60 in 7.2 sec, but I have it at about 200 hp and with the wheels at the track I ran it in 6.1 sec. The is a very fun car to drive stock or with some aftermarket parts. great car for the price, Take care of it and it will take care of you

The car that turned it around

I traded-in a 2001 VW Jetta for this new inovative car. The V6 engine is smooth and has plenty of extra power. The interior is better than the Jetta. Front seats are comfortable and very supportive. The handling is nice and predictable. The styling is great, car seems to turn heads every were I go. The best thing is when people ask "What kind of car is this", it's so funny to see their reaction when I tell them it's a Hyundai. If you are looking for a fun and exciting car this is it. I dare anyone to find a more impressive car for under $20,000, with this warranty at no extra cost.

My Tibby & Me

I bought my Hyundai off the show room floor. She had 4 miles on her. Now, 101,000 miles later we've come quite a ways together. Many memories in what I'd consider to be a very reliable car. While "Tibby" seems to be beginning to slowly break down...She has been very fun and reliable over the past 7 years. I'd love to trade her in for a new one but sadly they are no more. If you're looking for a comfortable seat, exciting ride, sleek design, and speed this is your vehicle.

This car blew me away. I occasionally drive my girlfriend's mercedes SLK 230 and the way the Tiburon drives is so similar. It has the solid feel of a european sports car. I was also looking at the Celica, but for thousands less I stopped looking. Hyundai has changed, for the better!!!
