It's ridiculous how good this car is, especially when you remember it cost only a fraction of other cars in its class (i.e. Audi TT, Nissan Z, etc.). Drived better than any of them.
Awesome Ride

Bought 03 Rally Red Shark 7-19-03 w/4- cyl. A/T and body- color spoiler due to performance of the engine in a Carbon Blue 03 Elantra GT hatchback I got in March 03. Put 4500 mi. on fam-owned 02 Santa Fe,20k mi. on 99 Sonata,2500 mi. on GT. Have replaced a h.Light bulb in these combined 27k mi. while owning Hyundai products...I was a lost soul, a car guy with a Elantra GT I adore but this 9-3 clone no Sophia Loren.Then ,I saw her...There is substance beneath the beauty of this head-turning,crowd- pleasing,conversation-starting triumph.Bravo,HYUNDAI...

I've had this car for just over a week now and I can say that it's more than I hoped it would be. I'm very happy with this car. I get a lot of good looks from people and I can only be completely satisfied with the ride it gives me. I recommend this vehicle to anyone looking to have a good time for small bucks. The sound system is incredible. I set off a bunch of car alarms with my subwoofer :) I thought it was funny. The best is smoking all the souped up civics. They give it that dirty "it's a hyundai" look until I get ahead, cut them off and flash my hazards. I love doing that.

Test drove it. No, its not as great as the RSX, but for 18,000, its better priced than the celica, and the eclipse. Put some extra money for aftermarket goods, and you may have a better car than the RSX, celica, and eclipse... for cheaper! If they come out with a sick body kit, I just might trade cars.

This THE BEST bang for your buck on the market today. As long as you are not close minded cause "its a hyundai" then it will be perfect for you. Handles like a dream. The automatic trans is "designed and built by PORSHE" so i assume that the 6 speed is also.

The car is reliabile. A car that u would be in a confortable seatin to drive such car. The dislike of this car is that the ac isnt good because its coldness isnt enough.

Great little car that is turning alot of professionals heads here at White Sands Missle Range in New Mexico. They think it is an Audi (HEEHEE). So does the Border Patrol. For the price this car has alot of bang for the buck. Only real downside is I wish it had a spoiler.
I Love it, I love it, I love it!

I love this car! Before I was never a big foreign car fan, but after I saw the Tiburon, I started only looking at foreign cars. I got so much for the price! Everyone stares at the car when they see it. I love the attention!

Clean, powerful, fun, solid, fast, great brakes. I love this car and feel it is worth more than what I paid for it. It is a blast to drive and can also turn a few heads. I hope the add-on accessory guys get wind of it and put more product out there.
Exterior and Performance Rocks!!

This car rocks from head to toe, I mean how often do you get the feel and appeal of a ferrari 456gt. It is a noticibly more bumpy then a ride compared to a mustang. The Interior on this hyundai is very disgusting, ugly, hideous. I hate the interior it looks cheap and has to be maintained to perfection for it to look even remote. Hyundai Come up with modifications for this interoir fast!!!
GREAT SHARK!

Hyundai did a great job at redesigning this car. I would recommend this car to anyone. If you are considering this car, I strongly suggest you get the V6. This car is much heavier than previous years, therefore it would be too much stress on the V4. Overall the added weight adds to your safety.
Fun and Fast

I've had this car for about 3 weeks now and it is so fun to drive that I'm trying to put in the 1200 miles recomended to break in the engine. I have about 1000 so far and is fun leaving all those civics all fixed up with all this extras behind. People pull next to me and try to take off fast when the light turns green but like I said I don't have that many miles yet, although a couple of those times I did push it and there I go right by them. It is fun to drive, I've had several people asking me for the make of the vehicle and they seem to like it too. Love this Car...

Overall I'm extremely impressed with this vehicle. Not only is it far from overpriced, it's priced exactly right. Anything cheaper and you'd start to wonder. I get oooos and aaawwwws everywhere I go. I just put a cold air kit and exhaust, and I can't wait for the chip. This car is just plain old fun.

I am very impressed with this car. After a light fender bender with a mercury cougar, they had over $1000. in damage, we had light touch up paint on the back bumper, I am definately sold on the safety of this car.

I think Hyundai has come up with very nice sporty car with less price. I have had my eyes on this car for about 4 month before I got it. I love it. Fun to drive. I love it when people ask me "what kind of car is that?" I have driven both base and GT model but GT is way to go with just couple thousand more.

This is my first new sports car, and Im proud to own the new 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 2dr Coupe. I love the look of it and the power. I have a lot of great comments about my Tiburon from all of my friends (there all import fanatics). Im going to be in the next Import Tuner magazine, I dont know when or what month but Im going to be in it. Look 4 me.

I initially enjoyed the shark but have been very disappointed in paint quality, lots of chipping and the recently disclosed "mis-stated" horsepower. Although I still think the car is attractive and fun to drive, I have questioned its performance due to the break-in period. Now I know it was not in my head. I based by buying decision on the power ratings and may have made another choice if the information was accurate. There has been no disclosure on any mis-stated torque ratings. I would love to hear from other buyers.
Awesome!!

You won't get a nicer car for under $20k. That's $2-3k less than a similarly optioned Celica or Eclipse V6. And it's LOADS easier to drive than the anemic Celica GT-S which requires revving to at least 5000rpm just to get power. The gearing on the 6M is way too short. 3400rpm at 80mpg? That's too high. That may be why the gas mileage is so poor (but you can fill with 87 octane, unlike premium only for the Eclipse V6 or either base or GTS Celica). The flywheel is a tad too heavy, but I'm really nit-picking. I really like the action on the clutch and the shifter. The spacing is perfect. It really promotes fast and accurate shifting.

The Hyundai Tiburon is an absolute hoot to drive! I own a 2000 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, and the Tiburon is just as fun to drive. The car handles well and has enough power to satisfy. The exterior is the best part. The styling elicits questions from the curious. My only complaints are the over-boosted steering and the spoiler. The handling is so good on this car that it is a shame to have such numbing power steering. Also, while I don't mind the spoiler, I think the car would look cleaner without it.

The new Tiburon is everything this car should have been back in its introduction (1999). Peppy power with great styling and look. A load of fun to try and a quick head-turner. For the price, it is hard to beat.

Hyundai has done it! The new 2003 Tiburon is not heard of, at this price at least. It is nice and FAST, and with a few inexpensive modifications it is even faster! Everyone asks what I drive, I comment just a Hyundai, see the faces of disgust, but then I show them the car and give them a ride, the faces change and they want one now! I say get it if you want it, who cares if it's Hyundai, you will be surprised!!

I just bought mt Tiburon, when i test drove it it had a bad wheel bearing that the dealer replaced for me (cost them 600 bucks)but it took couple of days for Hyundai to get the part to the Toyota dealer.Finally got it home and the Moonroof went out and Toyota's service department being awesome said they would fix that to....on them!at the moment i am still waiting to get my car due to Hyundai shipping not only the wrong part to fix the moonroof but a USED part at that, so right now i'm wondering if i just got myself into a money pit.Good news is that it is the 6 speed with the factory clutch still (crosses fingers).Only bad thing I can say about the car right now is tring to see out the back

I love my Tiburon! It handles wonderfully, and I have never driven a car quite like it. The interior is awsome, it is so comfortable (then again i am a small person 5'4). I wouldn't recomend this car to someone who is really tall, but for me it is the best car in it's price range. I just can't say enough wonderful things about this car. The biggest plus though to me was the side air bag, the fact that they were standard, assured me that this was probably a really safe car.
high style for less cost

It's been the best choice I had made when shopping for a bargain price sports coupe. I am especially amazed by the design of the car that gets the looks from passerby and asking if it's an european sports car that they are looking at. Great Job to the Designers.

I first bought the hyundai accent 9 months ago and was unhappy. I traded it in and I couldnt be happier. I bought the Tiburon GT V6 in silver and I love it. The ride is excellant, horsepower is moderate and the features are amazing. For $20,000 you cant go wrong. Not even to mention that you are covered for ten years.

People have always looked upon Hyundai as a throw away car, something just to get you around. The 2003 Tiburon GT V6 is going to change the nameplate's image. The Tiburon GT V6's E.T at 15.3 sec moving 90.8 MPH, out does many in it's class such as Civic Si (15.8/ 88.1), SVT Focus(15.8/ 90.6), and Eclipse GT(15.5/ 89.9) in the 1/4 mile, while finishing only a few ticks off the Acura RSX type-S'(15.1 /94.7). (Motor Trend). The car leaves only one thing to be desired: go-faster parts that will not void the awesome warranty.

This car is definitely a great ride in all aspects of a sporty coupe. The handling is just awesome! So much torque is assisting the power output of the 2.7 V6 engine that's potent. Looks of this car is just amazing.. I think it's one of the best looking sport compacts out there. No wonder this new tiburon made it to the list of '8 Great Rides' award given annually by Sport Compact Car magazine. So many options for under 20,000 dollars. Great Styling, Great Performance, and Great Dependability all comes together in this car.

I took the car for a test drive and i was very sceptical. First i love the exterior styling, one of the hottest looking cars out there. Second i was impressed with the interior material quality. Not overly busy with chinsey crap. Material feels sturdy and stable. I drive alot and hate being in traffic with a manual transmission so i opted for the Sportronic automatic transmission. This option is so much fun. It gives me the ability to shift manually when i choose to do so. I think the single factor that caused me to purchase this car is the price.
Take a good look, BUT DON'T BUY!!!!!!!

Ive had my tibby for 6200 miles and about 1/2 of those are from trips to the dealer for servicing. Watch for numerous recalls from a car that is full of defects! Spoiler light assembly, driver side window motor, sunroof, paint on door sills, gas cap leakage, window seals, tweeter blown, plastic sub cover in trunk may crack! BEWARE-THIS CAR WILL DISAPPOINT YOU IF YOU DON'T KEEP THESE ITEMS IN MIND! Ive had other problems w/ leather seat flaw @ purchase, plastic doorsill damage and grease on roof after 1 of the servicing. The HORSEPOWER was lied about by 11 horse in their ads.
