"Shark Bitten" 2005 Tiburon Review

With the Tiburon it was love at first sight. With its sleek styling and sporty feel, the Tiburon was an easy choice. By now everyone was driving the popular Pontiac Vibe that I owned and I wanted something that would stand out in the crowd of the mundane. I was a little worried when I found out the horsepower of the 2.0 liter base model, but when I got behind the wheel it was amazingly responsive. I've been driving it for over a week now and have been nothing but excited to get in everyday. This is a thrill ride. Quick acceleration and very responsive steering, strong 4-wheel anti-lock brakes...the list goes on. The gear ratios are nicely layed out to make up for the horsepower. It zooms.

this has been my favorite car. its fun to drive and looks awesome. i still get people turning heads and asking what kind of car it is. the only problems i have had with it has been weather related. i live in an area with a lot of snow and cold temps and you can tell they didnt design it for this type of weather. if there is more that 4 in of snow on the ground dont go out driving you will get stuck if you have to stop but handles pretty well besides that. but i dont mind. i just take it in every winter to get the e-brake replaced for free.

Nice styling vehicle which is comfortable and very fun to drive. The vehicle handles great with excellent pickup when needed and gets good gas mileage. The most fun I have had in many years.

My Tiburon is probably the best car I've had so far... It's sporty and fun to drive, it handles well, and mine has been extremely reliable. And, it's nice to know that if anything ever went wrong there's a nice 100,000 miles/10 year warranty that comes along with the vehicle!
