I am proud to own the vehicle and would not have changed my choice. I think Hyundai has done a wonderful job showing that they can make good cars. It is up to the consumer to get over their "It's a Hyundai" fear. I actually find the interior well thought out. Everything is within easy reach. Yes it is a bit bland, but that'll leave the aftermarket open for flashy stuff if you want it. Although I find the suspension a bit harsh, it's not the cars fault, I like it the way it is. It's the blasted roads that need to be fixed...grin.

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

I paid only $6700 for the car and was well worth it. The 6spd is awesome! Although they should have forgone the metering valve (I took it out) used with the transmission to make it "slip" so that it can be a "friendly" vehicle for everyone to drive along with less slop in the shifter linkage. Should have beefed up the suspension a little bit also to get the tires to stick to the road better and make for a more aggressive feel. Lighter wheels would help too (17" stock are 18 lbs!). With a little bit of money and time it can be built a little to change these "problems". I do love the car though. Very fun to drive and turns heads all the time. Decently powerful v6 and not bad gas mileage for v6

If you haven't driven this car yet you are missing the boat. This is by far the best "sports car" that I have ever owned. I thought that it was funny that someone who has never driven the car or owned a Hyundai could have bad things to say about Hyundai in general.

Well let me just say this car rocks. Well coming from a Ford, how cant it??? The dealers were awesome, the overall experience so far has been great. Ive owned this baby for a week now and I love it. Comparing to the previous tiburons, and the other autos i have looked at(eclipse, celica, RSX), this one takes the cake. My only misfortune was the defect on the sunroof...but hey mistakes happen and its all done and working fine.
