So far I really enjoyed the car. I have so many people ask me what kind of car and that it is nice sporty car. Back seat space is very limited especially if you are tall.

This was my dream car. I have owned a total of 3 Hyndai's now and think that they are the most reliable cars made. I have never had a moments trouble with any of them and just keep upgrading until now thay I have bought my dream. The car handles beatuiful, I have now had to drive it in a few snow and ice storms and it handles beatuiful, with the 6 speed and lots of power the car is fun to drive.
Tuburon a great daily driver

I have been more impressed with this car each day I drive it. My purchase price was rediculasly low, a nd I opted for the 10yr 100K bumper to bumper warranty with NO deductable. Great piece of mind and a very very impressive car for the money. I highly recommend it.
Hands down best deal for the price!

I have owned my SE for almost 5 months and I have had no problems other than I drive it too much. Gas consumption could be better but other than that, this is the new car of the future. Looks like a luxury sports car, has all features come standard. Could use minor improvements but overall a best buy for anyone. People look at me like I'm in a Porsche. Go buy one for yourself.

With only 13000 miles on it the car has needed repeated service for the power windows. The manifold had to be replaced at 7500 miles and the clutch, dick, bearing and lining at 13000. In 20 years of driving a manual transmission, this is the first time I ever had to replace a clutch or manifold. I would seriously look elsewhere before buying another.

I bought my Tiburon to serve as a daily commuter. The performance isn't overwhelming, but the V6 offers the torque delivery that makes the car feel much more relaxed on the freeway, and more responsive at the lights. The styling may make it look a lot more potent than it is, however, as it's not a fast car by any means. Notably, the rearward visibility in this car is low. It can be quite difficult to back out of spaces simply because you have to take a leap of faith to do it. Overall, I'm not disappointed. I test drove an automatic, which was incredibly slow. The manual was the better choice, in my opinion. I've had a few issues with it, but nothing excessive for a 6- year old car.

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.

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!!!

I bought a Tib 2003 on Nov 30th 2002, (sunroof, abs, v6, 5 speed, 18250 on the road) I have the hell of the time with the car, until I started to have problems with the clutch after only 8000 miles. I took it three times to dealer to get it fix, finally they replaced the whole part, but it was too late for me. I trade it on Dec 2003.

My experience with my 2004 Tiburon is that it is FAST!!!! I love driving it. Everywhere I go people ask me "What kind of car is that?" When I tell them that it is a Hyundai they are amazed. They proceed to tell me how stylish it looks and how much they love the color. I also love the sound system.I only wish I could have gotten it with a CD changer. Performance wize it shifts like a dream,has great pickup and as I stated before it is FAST!!! I love my car!!!!!!!!!!! THANX RIK

All around great car! I took a long time deciding what car to get. I looked at the Mini Cooper S, and the Acura RSX type-S, neither of which do I have bad things to say about. Just afraid the Cooper novelty would wear off, and didn't like paying extra for a spoiler and fog lights on the Acura. All of which led me to check out the Tiburon. So much car for significantly less money than the others. True, Hyundai doesn't have the same "Cachet" of the other nameplates, but I got what in reality is an equivalent car and kept more "Cash-A" in my pocket!
I love my Tibby

This is the second Tibby I have owned. I love the warrenty that even covers light bulbs. There is plenty of power in 5th going across the two mountains to and from work daily. Next car in another two years will be the same model.

I actually bought a 2003 GTv6 model just as they were bringing in the 2004's, so i got a very good deal. I absolutely love my car; its fully loaded(leather, sunroof, anti-lock brakes,etc.)and i got it for just under 18k, before tax, tag, and title. Unfortunately, you might have to spend a couple thousand more to get comparable 2004, but its worth it. You absolutely will not find a better car in that class under 20k.
fun and unique

I purchased my tiburon used only a few months ago but I have wanted one since I first laid eyes on one 5 years ago. I was pleasantly surprised with most aspects of the car. Most notably the 6 speed manual is a lot of fun because of the gear ratios. Clutch is both intuitive and fun (very important to me). The front end lines of the car give you a great idea of where your car is but the back end is a little hard to judge. Labeled as 4 seats but really only two really comfortable seats. Im 6,2" and enjoy the driver seat very much. Mine was purchased with custom sound and exhaust so no comment. Fuel economy could be slightly better. **no car is as unique and low-key at the same time as this car**

I bought the Tiburon because of the looks and the warranty. I used to own a Hyundai Sonata 3.0 and was very pleased. Before buying the Hyundai's I owned 5 new US made cars and always had to return to the shop for warranty issues, not with the Hyundai's. The only time I go there is for the oil changes. Even that isn't expensive. I'll buy a Hyundai again!

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.
fun car

I have owned Vettes, Jags, Volvos and this is by far the best overall. I have the base model and it was clearly the best value out there. It is fun to drive, good on gas and i cruise all day between 80 and 100 mph.

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.

I bought this car from a private seller. It is a '04 2dr coupe. I was optimistic about the whole 4cyl but it runs great for one. Great gas mileage compared to the pickup I was driving. I've had a ton of compliments since owning it for one week. Its very sleek and runs smooth.
Beautiful, fun little looker of a car!

I just bought this car last weekend...I've wanted one since I was in high school, so five years. The new design is so beatiful! It's sporty, a blast to drive, and I love the looks I get from people. It really stands out. Plus, you can't beat the price for what you get. So many standard features, plus even loaded it is a bargain compared to similar cars. I really can't say enough good things about my wonderful new car!

I drove by the dealer and had to have this bright yellow sports car. It has been great to drive, although I do store it in the winter months. I had origionally bought it to teach my teens to drive. No way! Way to quick and many blind spots. Its ok though because I totally love to grive this car. Only had 2 mechanical issues, both fully under warrenty.,

AFTER DRIVING THIS CAR FOR 10 MONTHS I FIND THE CAR AN EXCEPTIONAL VALUE FOR THE MONEY. I LIKE THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION. FIRST GEAR COULD BE A LITTLE MORE PEPPY. I'VE HAD THE CAR SPEED OVER 160. ITS REALLY A KICK. I'M IMPRESSED WITH THE NEW DESIGN. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

This car truly looks amazing. It's got the Ferrari Modena look to it and after 3 years of owning it, it still looks tight. I got the Infinity sound system with subwoofer. It's real nice. V6 engine is not the fastest but for what it costs, it performs with excellence. Very responsive. This car just looks so sweet in every angle.
Beautiful vehicle and fun to drive

I am a dealer and have purchased all types of vehicles. When I bought this one I was just thinking about dollar signs and how quick it would be to sell to a racer boy. Although when I drove it back it had amazing pick up and stuck to the road with a lot of control. I have read some of the other posts and find it funny, this is a very fast car if you are skilled enough to shift it fast enough. The shifting is very smooth, HP is great, interior and exterior looks fabulous. The front end looks I don't really like although easily fixed with the right body kit. I come from a diverse family of vehicles from the G35 to the Pontiac GTO and by far this one is another keeper in my book.
Superb car for the money!

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!!!

My Tiburon was purchased in Dallas, Texas. After driving the car back to Colorado Springs through the high plains of New Mexico and the mountains of Colorado I can honestly say this is the first coupe I've ever owned that climbed Raton Pass, NM in 5th gear. It was an eerie feeling knowing that I had to keep an eye on the speedometer otherwise I would unknowingly exceed the speed limit because the car held the road so well. The car overhead is too low to offer seating comfort in the back seat for an average adult. Otherwise I am thoroughly impressed with my Tiburon.

I loved my Tiburon until this week. While getting ready for vacation I took the vehicle to my mechanic for an oil change. He noted there was wear on the rear passenger tire and suggested that I replace the tire before the trip. I contacted the place where I had purchased the tires a year ago and was told that the car was out of alignment in the rear and so I had the alignment done and purchased a new tire only to find out that these vehicles DO NOT have an adjustment feature. Now I must buy an after market adjustment kit which will cost me about $250 so that my tires will not continue to wear. It was very disappointing to find this out. I believe I will be looking for another vehicle.

Just because it is affordable doesn't mean the customer is always wrong! I have had a problem with it idling high, especially inbetween shifts, i have heard 3 different stories. I should have seen it when i test drove it, then i was told it was the throttle body which they fixed because the BBB was on their case, and then i was told i wouldnt have seen it when i tested because the computer changes the engine based on your driving. Which is a horrible idea that I have never heard of. Hyundai treated me like an idiot and they wanted no part in helping me. Also my fog light is not water tight and caused it to short out!

Awsome performance and styling! Thoroughly enjoy this vehicle. Two drawbacks; the seats are not so comfortable (could use more padding) and for an old fart like me (and my wife, but don't tell her this) it is a little difficult to get out of. Other than that, I love this car!

After having my Tib for about 3 months now, all I can say is wow. Everyday I look forward to driving it around. This is the best looking car on the road, bar none. I turn heads all the time, its a great feeling. The V6 engine responds very well to bolt-on mods, lots of aftermarket tuner parts available.

The car is excellent. I am upgrading to the GT V6 Tiburon from a 1984 Porsche 944. ...When I first heard Hyundai worked with Porsche on the suspension, and that originally it was based off the 944 specs, I figured it would be nothing more than a 1999 944... Well, this car is a lot more than a new 944... Better handeling, 6spd tranny, moonroof. This is one fantastic car.

This is a terrible car. Not only is outrageously slow for a "sports" car, having less than 200 hp and a 0-60 over 7 sec, the gas mileage poor for being that slow. Plus it is front wheel drive. My other car is faster with 300+ hp and a 0-60 around 5 sec and better on gas. Also, so many things in this car have broken both mechanical and electrical. The axles, the window motors, the radio, the transmission has had multiple issues, and one of the headlights go out about every month. Not to mention the "dual exhaust" is not really dual exhaust it is one pipe that splits into two. This car surprises me every day with its crapiness.
