Buying this rocket for my wife's 50th birthday was a joy. Of course, I had an ulterior motive. I had been looking at the Tiburon for some time. I also own 2 other Hyundais and the reliability is simply incredible. The dealership has been a friend. If considering a purchase of a Tiburon, take a test drive that includes a section of interstate. You can certainly wake up the salesperson in the back seat. All controls and options are great.

Car runs well except lifters are noisy on startup, good pick up good on turnes,Gas milage so so. Might as well throw out the back seats not of any use, But all in all a good car for the money.

I love this car. I have had one mechanical failure which was the clutch detent switch. Dealer replaced it with the best service I have ever had from a dealership. Transmission is smooth and sound system is excellent. Interior is well designed and extremely comfy.

Let me start off with WOW! I recently bought three 04 tiburons. Two black ones that are 6 speeds for my 2 sons which are 16 and 17 yrs old.This car is the best car out there to buy for your kids or yourself. It is very safe and has excellent all around 5 star crash test ratings. This car is very reliable! No problems with hyundai at all ever! Hyundais 10 yr 100k mile warranty is also unbeatable, they actually stick to their warranty and ask no questions at all. If theres something wrong it will be fixed or replaced no questions asked. Insurance is a beautiful thing on these cars cheap

I am 6'3" and have no problem with headroom or entering and exiting the car. I compared it to the RSX type-S and SRT-4, but i got more for my dollar with the tiburon, at the base price of the other models! This is an awesome car!

I'm 17 years old and still in high school so I needed something kinda sporty that I wouldnt get made fun of but still wouldnt kill me with insurance and gas prices. So after a month I finally found the Hyundai tiburon. I've owned it about a month now and I love it. I love the way it handles and the purr of the engine (even with a inline four cylinder) when I start it up and it idles. I wish it could go faster than 130 mph but I'm not complaining. The interior is pretty sweet. It doesnt look cheap. The body style is pretty slick looking too. I get a lot of looks when im driving around town. Being in a city in North Dakota you kinda stick out with a sportier car.
very good car

I loved this vehicle from the time I first test drove. I knew I had to own it. It compares to my Nissan 240 I owned 5 yrs ago. I would have bought another Nissan, but their 350Z is just out priced.

I love it. Just wish it had better noise suppression. Lots of road noise. Thinking now that it may be the result of a problem in the rear axle. Good fuel economy. Fantastic looks!

This car attracted me from first git go.But was skeptical on first year car. BUT, Since I purchased it I dont regret it.The power is great {but not enough}. Recently owned an Acura Legend compared to that it is really close {except for the ride} The Tiburon is a little choppy and noisy on bad roads. The fuel mileage surprised me when I didnt hot dog it between 31 & 32 MPG around town 25 to 27. GREAT VEHICLE

I bough this car on my birthday for a cheap price and went for a "joy ride" with my dad in the passenger seat. We drove for about an hour and then went home. When we got out of the car. Both me and my dad's hands were pure white! This car is really fun to drive. I got it up to 90 on the highway and it flew with no problems. I had the sound booming and the air blowing through my face. I have never felt so alive. I driven a 1995 Pontiac sunfire and it doesn't even compare. I wish I turned 16 alot earlier than this year

The 6 speed manual V6 GT version is fun to drive and though its a little lacking in the power department there is still enough power and great torque. Seats are comfortable as well. Good styling, very good price and awesome warranty. Overall great buy.
Perfect for Price and speed

I love my car, ive never had a problem with its performance,and I receive many compliments, i bought it in sunburst yellow so it stands out. I have the six speed version and its fast, it doesnt drag to get going, it has comfortable front seats, the back seats lay down for more space if needed. I was skeptical on buying a Hyundai and walked the whole lot and this one just caught my eye and I never regretted my decision.

This car is an eye catching red. We get asked what it is all the time. People are always suprised that it is a Hyundai, we stopped at the dealer to just look around since my wife commuted 60 milround trip in our Suburban and we needed to have better gas mileage. We test drove almost everything on the lot when we pulled back in from a test drive and she saw it in the corner of the lot and she announced "that is the car" so we stuffed the 6' plus salesman in the back seat and wow what a ride. The rest is the wife's history.
Tiburon is a BEAST!!! :0)

This car has been a miracle to me!! I absolutely love the sporty look while being affordable. Unlike the Mitsubish Eclipse, it is not seen everytime you turn a corner, and thus increases its appeal!! Also, it is very comfortable to drive and does well on safety testing, as far as I have researched. It is a very reliable car, and makes the driver look even better!!!

When I was first shopping for a new vehicle, I was looking at the Celica GT- S, test drove it and everything. However, I was really not looking forward to the hefty monthly payment. The same day that I test drove the Celica, my boyfriend took me to the Hyundai dealership where he got his car. I had forgotten all about them! Needless to say, when I saw the GTV6 in the showroom, I was blown away! It is a beautiful car with lines just how I like them. I knew this was the car that I wanted to get, but I was always making fun of Jon for his Accent... I got the Moonlit Blue in the 6 speed form, fully loaded! I had to have the sunroof!
Great Spunky Coupe

In a field of cars that is vastly growing, the Hyundai Tiburon stands out in a crowd. I bought the GT-V6 6- speed manuel as my new car. Let me say that althought this car has its flaws, I believe that it's the best Sport Coupe on the market. With everything you would ever need, a pumping sound system, 170 bhp engine which is great and it still has room to go much higher. This is a great car for customizing.
Great car at a bargain price

Compared to my Toyota Celica this car is fantastic. The Celica has a cheap interior, average quality of materials and is expensive. For the same money Hyundai gives you a V6 vs a 4, attention to detail inside and out, more standard features and a better warranty. To me it is the best value in this catagory.
Loved the vehicle but biggest NIGHTMARE!

Bought the car, ran great until i hit about 70000 miles. Engine spun a bearing. Had to replace engine even after following all of the manuf. recommendations and what not had reg oil change proofs and what not. Called hyundai usa (which is a joke) The car cost me $17000 dollars $4000 engine work went through 4 engines in 6 months I never once beat this car or anything I treated it like gold. My 2 year old and I used the vehicle to commute. cost me $3000 when I traded it in. Hyundai will never get a penny from me they are a rip off!!! Don't ever buy any Hyundai!! Friends owned and agree.

LOOKs that just will not stop. Just a great little car to drive. BUT the dealers are few and and getting to be less and less. I think it's the super warranty that comes with the car. I have found that it could loose a little weight, Driver head room is limited and the V6 gets about 22mpg. If you push hard you can get it for less than MSRP. All in All I'd buy another one.

Everyone interested in cars looks at this model and admires it. Took a trip on the open road ran it between 70 - 80 mph and gas mileage was 20 mpg. Not great but not too bad. Problem with headlights going to hi beam and then shutting down all in a split second. So far the dealer can't seem to find the problem.naturally, it happens very INTERMITENTLY....

Husky sound from the exhaust! 6 speed, all leather interior, premium sound system, great value!!! If you are thinking of whether you would have buyer's remorse after purchasing this car, let me help you!! Just buy it. Great on fuel, great on style. Sun roof gets a 10.

Great looks and great handling. Couple this with a great warranty and you have a car that rivals the RSX and Eclipse. The Tib has sleeker lines and a smoother ride than either the RSX, Eclipse, and even the Celica GT. I have about 800 miles on it and am averaging between 25-27 mpg, combined highway/city, not bad. I'm trying to find reasons to drive it! Dollar for dollar, you can't beat it.
Proud to have a Hyundai...

After having a Mits. Eclipse GST for the last 7 years, I was very hesitant to get the Tiburon. Then my husband drove me home a loaded blue standard Tiburon GT with leather and 17" tires in a snow storm, no less, because it was time to retire the old girl(Eclipse). I freaked!!! After the weather settled, I started noticing all of the stares I was getting on the road. I was even getting asked about my car every time I went to the drive-up at the bank. It took a little time adjusting, just slight differences, but now I am very satisfied. It's a HOT car that looks SWEEEET, and it didn't kill my pocket$$.
The best car ever built!

Overall the Tib has satisfied me more than any other car that I have owned. Its Fast, Powerfull,The braking ability, Sleek design, and its reliability. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I think about is I wonder where I can take the Tib to rally some corners! When hyundai does its next design change I can tell you this, Ill be the first person in line to buy it.

After taking a test drive I feel deeply in love with this vehicle. I've always wanted a sports car and the price was definitely right on this. It was such a ease to purchase this vehicle and I drove him home the next business day after the dealership let me keep him for the weekend! He's been very true to me and only has eyes for me!

I traded-in a 1998 Jaguar XJR for this car. The Jag experience was awful. This car on the other hand, has been a joy. I still love to drive it after a year of ownership. It looks great. It drives great. For the money you can not go wrong. I added some aluminum trim rings to the round dash vents and fuel/temp guage to brighten-up the dark interior. One thing that bugs is first gear. Can't get enough traction. Limited-slip diff would make a big improvement.

I live in the city so I don't drive a lot. My car still looks new and I haven't had any problems with it. I get a lot of attention for the styling; people are always SHOCKED when they see that it's a Hyundai. My friends always refer to it as a "sports car". If I bought it again I would get the V6 in dark blue; the silver looks cool but shows dirt. Overall, I have absolutely no regrets on choosing this car. I did a ton of research before buying it and it is a fantastic value. They do honor the free roadside assistance agreement; I called once for a flat tire and another time for a dead battery.

I love this car. I am completely happy with it in every aspect. It's nice to both drive and look at, especially if you ad the Korean, Tuscani badging. The only thing is I feel like I'm always filling up with gas when using it in the city. I seem to get great highway fuel economy.
Great car, needs a little more power

The Tiburon is one of the best looking cars on the road today. The only thing it lacks is the power to go with the very sporty styling. Dont get me wrong the car does have power but, it cant match up to some of the other cars on the road today. If only it came with a supercharged model. I think that would put them over the top.

i have had alot of problems with it first problem was the door seal then the rear window seal then my window motor quick workin then my trunk wouldnt open and the biggest problem was that it was quiting it would start up and run for about 5 seconds then stall out and it would do it 4 times before it would run but i had to take it to the shop about 4 times for that problem and they finally got it fixed said that it was the fuel i was using and that you shouldnt use high test gas in the v-6 that it was tuned to use 87octane but so far so good well see though

I bought the car with it having 32,000, It was all good for awhile then a pully went out, then the thermostat broke, then I had to replace the clutch and flywheel at 50,000. The mechanic at the dealer said he was not surprised to know that. Now, the BCM chip is out and is causing my car to have major electrical problems. This car stinks with all the mechanical work that it needs. Just one thing after another. The car is nice for looks but when it comes to reliability, its out the window.

This car is excellent! It's way better than a Toyota Celica and less expensive. Even on my model the SE it comes with leather and a pretty sweet sound system. Overall I'd say it's a great car for the money! I'd choose it over a Toyota any day.

When I first laid eyes on the new Tiburon, I had to buy one. I just traded in my SUV for a new GTV6 and I love it...and with all of the standard options...spoiler, Infinity 360 watt stereo w/sub, alloy wheels, it's a no- brainer. What a great car for the money!!!

Excellent car. Love it. So does my wife. I outrun 40k so called sports cars with little effort. Everyone asks about it. It's quick, comfortable, great looking and inexpensive. Try it.
