When the Tiburon is driven hard, it literally burns its tires. It has the athleticism of its lighter weight competitors. Its V6 is very confident and its steering is very responsive. Despite it is little bit heavy for a sport coupe, its effective powerful engine over comes any challenges. This car outperforms its competitors such as Toyota Celica, Acura RSX, Mitsubish Eclipse and delivers a smooth ride.

Hyundai missed the mark with this model

I had owned a Sonata prior to picking out a brand new Tiburon GT in March of 2007. At just under 19K miles the clutch and flywheel went out on me. Hyundai would not cover this under warranty and dismissed the transmission failure as though I did not know how to drive a manual transmission. The wheel bearings went out on 3 separate occasions as well. The V6 is thirsty resulting in low MPG. Horrible under-steer. Some tricky blind spots until you get use to it. Hyundai's also have crummy resale value. Overall the car is fun to drive, however I highly encourage an extended warranty.

This car just looks hot. Much like the Ferarri 456 GT. Inside, if you get the GT limited edition, the leather seats look like something out of a car that retails at over $50k. Performance is not stellar, but more than does the job when the V6 upgrade is purchased. All around an excellant vehicle for the price!

We actually just purchased this car for my husband...and I actually love it just as much! It is very cute and very fun to drive. I think that it doesn't make any difference to me about the engine cylinder it has way more power than my elantra. I love hyundai and all their cars are great! =0)

Nice looking zippy car

This car is a very nice realiable car for a sport compact. The design of the car is definitely a head turner. I of course have young kids coming up to me asking me about it but what I thought was weird is that older men in their 50s or later seem to be interested in this lil car. I guess it does make a good mid life crisis car that is very affordable at around 22 grand for the SE six speed model that i have. It gets what it says it gets and that is 26mpg. It is a zippy lil car but i would be happier for the v6 to be putting out more like 230 hp instead of the week 172. I guess its easier to honor that 10 year 100,000 mile drive train warranty that way. Anyway its a very good car for the cash

From 2003 to 2006

This is my fourth Hyundai, and my third TIBURON. I was unhappy with my previous dealership's service manager. When I took my 2003 model to my new dealer for routine service, I saw a 2006 on the lot, took it for a test drive, and fell in love. It's loaded with bells and whistles. Its handling is great for city and interstate driving. I can transport bulky items in my trunk, and the rear seat is available for small friends and/or my dog. It draws favorable comments from other drivers and parking valets. I'm trying to limit my response to strangers who compliment the car to "thank you" and not feel obliged to tell them how little it cost!

This vehicle is a lot quicker than I expected it to be. Put some rims on it and I think its the best looking car out there for the money.

This car is so fun to drive. This car has enough power for me even in the 4 cyl version. The only problem I have is condensation that forms on the rear window when the defrost is on and the defrost takes a while to clear the windows, but other than that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car.
