Everyone who has had a complaint seems to have the manual tranny. While admittedly the automatic is not super powerful, it is a 2.0L 4cyl so what did you expect...? Brake pads changed at 125,000km and 200,000. Rortors replaced at 200,000 (could have machined, but chose to replace. Small things like wiper motor and washer fluid pump went, but $30 on eBay and some elbow grease fixed it up well. At 220,000kms now and I need some suspension work, but even with not so frequent oil changes (every 9,000 or so kms) the thing is a beauty. Original battery just went at 220,000. Fantastic vehicle for the money I paid for it. Way hotter than the Genesis.
Affordable and Sporty

When I decided that it was time for me to get a new car I was really looking for an affordable Mustang. I could not find the Mustang I was looking for and found this car instead. I am very glad that I found this car. I see Mustangs all the time but only once or twice have I ever seen a Tiburon driving around. This car is a great choice for anyone who wants a sporty, rare, and affordable vehicle.
Great car that's fun to drive.

I'm the original owner with over 60K miles now and I'm still loving this car. It runs great, performance is good, exterior & interior styling is excellent, it's comfortable, and the car is easy to maintain for the do-it-yourselfer. The car has been very reliable--more so than my previous Corolla and Civic Ex. I'm very impressed with Hyundai on this car. Even after all these years, it's great to get compliments on the styling of this car and the looks I get from fellow drivers and pedestrians.
Fun sport car and great MPG vehicle!!

I bought this car back in April with 68,000 miles. . I am the second owner of the vehicle. So far, I am very satisfied with its performance, both in highway and city. It is a very fun to drive and very powerful for its 4 cylinder engine (I drive the 5 speed transmission). When it comes to mpg performance, it varies by fuel brand and driving conditions, like weather altitude, etc. I drive from Chino to Moreno Valley, California on a daily basis, and occasionally to the Los Angeles and San Diego area. Vehicle definitely performs better when driving close to those cities at sea level, and obtains better mpg under those conditions. After seven months, all I can say is that this is a great car!!
Very Fun, Needs MORE POWER

I bought my 04 Tiburon 4cyl in September of 2012 with 100k on it, That was a year ago. Overall it is a decent car and VERY fun to drive, I just wish it had more power. I live in NY and this car did better in the snow than I thought it would (Hankook S1 Noble2 tires are awesome). The seats are Very uncomfortable and the back seat is almost pointless.
Is it just my car?

I just wrote a review on my 2003 Tiburon GT. How bad memories i have with it. Let me just add one more negative comments. I was just on the road. I decided to open up a Sunroof to get some fresh air. well, sunroof stop operating in halfway open. It won't close, so I proceed with manual close. it happens that manual close doesn't work either... what kind of car is this? i am so mad at Hyundai. My 2 years of having Tiburon, now i have to add another trip to dearlership for service. My biggest wrong choice i have made my entire 27 years of life is buying HYUNDAI CAR.
Compliments Galore

UPDATE: after many years of great service, I am sad to sai the engine is riding rough and can not afford the repair. This car is for sale whole to be parted out. My car will never be for sale. I love it now more than I did when it was new now that the restrictions are lifted due to the age of this car. Needed a new gas tank and cat after 14 years and need a new sway bar. Other than that this car has held up the test of time in my book. Head lights had to be replaced only because I just could not see with them any longer. They did yellow and night driving was hard with 2004 lights. This car still rides like it is on a cloud for me and I can not bare to part with it. My son has tried to get me to buy a new car and I am just not ready to let this one go. New cars are made so cheep and this one has been good to me.

I bought this car brand new. Received a lot of compliments. It only has 50,000 miles on it. Prior to this the headlight, lens covers turned a dark yellow. The rubber around all the doors look like it's a 3 yr. old car. Ashtray light burned out, check engine light continues to go on and off, side power window won't go up or down, airbag light stays on, rear caliper froze-cost 400.00 to replace. Co2 sensor needed to be replaced..another 400+.The sunroof leaks like a sive into my lap. Coating on the mirrors are peeling off leaving it dull. Cannot repaint because it's still peeling. Now it's hard to start, then stalls. No one knows why. Loud sound in the front end when you turn the wheel.
Tiburon is great!

Originally, the Tiburon was selected and purchased by my 20 year old son. He liked the car very much, but he got excited in buying a high performance 4WD truck, so instead trading in the Tiburon, I decided to keep it. Now, I am enjoying driving the Tiburon every day. It feels and performs great. I am 60 years old, but I feel young again driving the Tiburon. Just before, I was driving a Dodge1500 Van Conversion, which is nice, but definitely too big for one person. Tiburon is nice looking and a very fast car. I am very happy that I took the decision to keep the Tiburon for my self.

I've owned my vehicle for over 2 years now and haven't had any problems. I did just have to take it in to get the fuel canister fixed but it was all covered under warranty and was no problem. I've driven the car a lot, almost 40,000 miles, and I'm a hard driver (quick starts, fast stops, sharp turns). I've loved every minute of driving this car and while the blindspots are difficult, you do get used to them. I've recommended this car to others looking for something that's a lot of fun, but reasonably priced.
