I have been through a lot with this car. The color of the car and style got attention. I have had the car for 4 years. My first year everything was good then, the radiator went out, and was replaced. The brakes was complicated for this car took it to two places they couldnt fix the brakes, and was costly. I finally started taking it to sears auto cause they can do the brakes very well with this car. Then my door went out on the drivers side, had to climb in and out of the car for a while until I finally got it fixed by a mechanic. Tires went were replaced i this car many times. This car is a gas sucker. When it came to the 4th year at 114,000 miles. it failed to pass smog the the cat and o2 oxgyen sensor was causing the monitors to fail when going for smog, and failed smog. I drove it many miles, and took it many places and no one could fix it. I was sad because the love of my life was driving and depenable and still working. Also I know had another additional to my family and this car was getting to small for my family. I took it to the HYundai, and ened up walking out with a 2015 Hyundai Sonata.

This car is fun to dive, but if you don't have a ton of money, don't buy it. Bought one at 99k miles, it now has 124k. In the span of that 25k, I've replaced all tires twice, replaced the clutch twice, replace the shifter cable twice, replaced the transmission and flywheel. All tiburons after 2003 are crap. Also, any transmission repair (clutch, shifter cable, flywheel, etc.) is 1000$ more than with most cars because it takes extra work in a tiburon to get to the transmission

I bought my 2006 Tiburon in November 2005 and I have loved my car, I have never had problems with it. Then my clutch started making a rattling noise that was so loud that the passengers could hear it. Once the clutch was pushed in, the noise would stop. I took it in and they told me that my entire transmission would have to be replaced. Thankfully it is covered by the 100k powertrain warranty. I did buy a K&N air filter for it, and thankfully I didn't put it in or they probably would have said that it voids the warranty. How stupid. I'm not sure how many other people have had problems with their transmissions. This is obviously a defect.
Amazing Car, Amazing Price

This Car first grabbed my attention for it's style, I wanted a sports car with a sleek and sexy design, this car definitely has it. It drives really smooth, but it could use more pick up and power. it is average in gas mileage, but considering it is a V-6, I expected that. It handles really well on the turns, and the michelin tires are the perfect touch for superior road hugging capabilities, they do ride hard over bumps though, all in all this car is a highly recommended ride it delivers performance, sought after features, reliability, and it just a beautiful car that gets alot of second looks. compared to cars in it's class, the Tib, is in my opinion, the best car for the money.
but wait ...

The radio antenna is manual, i.e., one gets out of the car and unscrews it before going through a car wash. I didn't know this was a possibilty and of course the salesman did not mention it. Where I live snow is packed in and I cannot get it off (ok, so I'm 64 years old). But otherwise, it is a great car (although I've only had it for a week). I love the short stick shift and everything else about it.

Purchased the car for about $12k with 32k miles beginning January of 11. Had the car for about 5k miles now and it's been a great car. Only major complaints with the car is the clutch rattle, which I'm told is normal. Rattle happens at idle in neutral with the clutch engaged. Other than that, the stereo is kinda hinky. A loud pop and it will quit. Turn the radio off and it will work properly. Car has plenty of low end grunt, handles on rails, and feels like a more expensive car than it is. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it to someone else.
Great first sports car!

As searching throughout the market for a decent sports car to start off with in my area, I had found an eye-catching 2006 hyundai Tiburon GT v6. The car had so many great features that I had been looking for but what had sold me was the style of the interior, the sleek body style and the low mileage it had on it. I've owned one of these cars for about two weeks so far and I've found that it is quite fun to drive and even got a few compliments already on the car. I'd definitely recommend this car to anyone who wants a nice reliable sports car.

Clutch Failure at 30,000! Not covered by original or extended warranty Cost $1055 only owned the car for 7 months Looks are very deceiving if you own one get rid of it before it costs you!

Love this car however multiple problems continue to arise and costly at that. Of course from what I'm hearing clutch problems are very common with these cars, I'm a single mom who can't afford all theses costly problems.
