My Tiburon was a 2003 GT (2.7L V6) with the 6 speed manual transmission. The dual mass flywheel is a major design flaw that Hyundai refuses to acknowledge. I drove my car for four years and 40K miles and replaced the clutch and flywheel twice. Hyundai would not warranty because they consider this repair to be related to abuse. I've driven cars with manual transmissions my whole life without ever having a problem! I'm currently a part of the class action lawsuit against Hyundai for this issue. The plastic levers that let the seats fold forward were also constantly breaking. The lock actuators, outside and inside door handles, and window motors had to be replaced as well.
Woo-Hoo!

My lowrider was totalled out by the insurance company so I had to get a new car. Looked at Protege5, RSX, WRX, Mustang, Matix,& Celica for 2 weeks. Went to Hyundai, last on my list. Wanted something really neat. Saw the 2003 Tiberon and purchased on the spot. Didn't even know what the car came with until already purchased, salesman gave new keys and went thru the checklist : GT 181hp V6, leather, 7-speaker Infinity w/sub, cruise, power everything, & Shift-orama! Boy was I surprised when I drove home. This thing is quick and responsive. I always wanted a red sports car.

I have owned this car for a few months, got it fire engine red with a 5pd manual transmission. I loved the look and the fact it was a manual, though a bright red coupe was not really in my best interest(I'm a young driver, all I need is more attention on the road, right?). I had been shopping for a year and a half, and I got a great deal, so I ran with it. So far I am happy with everything except the engine power, which is adequate but does not lend itself to being a joy ride. Also, I am having a bit of trouble finding some basic performance parts to increase the HP. Basically, it meets but doesn't exceed expectations in this kind of vehicle.

I still find myself in awe of the dynamics of this vehicle. I have been asked by many: "What is it?" Definately a head turner/attention getter!
