I have had three clutches so far in the car. The dealer has proven to be unreliable in service.
DON'T DO IT!!

There's no denying that this car is one of the most beautiful in it's class. However, I was unfortunate enough to ignore the warnings and went with this car. The paint is trash. Look at it wrong and it chips. About 4 months ago I started having problems with the car starting which is a CLASSIC HYUNDAI PROBLEM. It's all over the internet, have a look!!! At stop signs the a/c, radio, and lights will go off until you start driving again and it never quite starts right away (if it starts at all). The seats are hard that the moonroof has been repaired THREE times already. I have heard that there are defective parts in the 'brain' that no one admits to.

You will not see this car reviewed in many magazines, but do not let that stop you from considering these little pocket rockets. One drive and you will see what the combined efforts of the Koreans and certain Japanese companies, are spawning a love-child of possible historic value. I personally bought the 2.0L 4 cylinder with a manual transmission due to rising gas costs. But if you want power to spare you should go with the GT V-6. I do not know why all the magazines are not testing these cars, but I am sure once they start testing them there will be a great demand in America for them.
Amazing Tiburon

I've had my Tiburon for a few months - I LOVE IT. I still say it's the best purchase I've ever made! It's fun, fast, sleek, economical and most of all has the best warranty EVER! What are you waiting for? If you're looking for an economical, sharp looking sports car, this one is it! Mine is black with stainless steel accents and although I've tried to find new accessories for it - nothing is needed to make it look as sharp as it already looks - minus tinted windows.
Surprised

The lease was up on rag top 2000 Mustang GT. The wife spotted a Tiburon one Saturday at the car wash and liked the way it looked. We went to the Hyundai dealership and drove an automatic GT. I didn't rumble like the Mustang but it didn't rattle like the Mustang either. The Tiburon V6 was quick even with the auto and had a mellow exhaust that snarls a bit when pushed. The car held the road well with some understeer when thrown into a corner. Back at the dealership the wife learned about the SE model. Only option, sun roof. The Tiburon SE with the six speed manual transmission is even more impressive than the GT. This is a quick car, fun to drive, well appointed and inexpensive.
