What a sweet ride~~~

When Hyundai redesigned the Tiburon, I had to get it. It looks so stylish. I love the freshly designed front and rear. The 17in RIM is also very nice. With blue interior lights, car looks great at night too. Performance is pretty good too, although it can be improved. I'm sure the new Genesis coupe will be excellent in terms of performance. Best of all, Tiburon is real fun to drive.

I have had this car just about a month now and have put 400 miles on it. The ride is great and the gas mileage is very good - about 23 mpg

Great Car, Lacking Clutch

I just recently purchased my 2008 GS and I am very impressed with its appearances, and the smooth shifting 5 speed manual transmission. However, I have driven many manual cars, a Mustang Cobra, Jeep Wrangler, Camaro Z28, Honda Civic, and an Eclipse GSX; I have NEVER driven a car with such a weak clutch. The clutch seems to ruin the good fun of the car for me, however when it goes bad I plan on upgrading to a stage 1 Clutch Master FX100, and there shouldn't be a problem with it. Overall, the Tib is a great car, and has a lot of potential. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a sporty car within the 16-20k price range.

Bought this 2008 used in 2009 a week ago with 40 (forty) miles on the odometer. What a steal!!! The car is sporty/fun/economical. Anyone driving this car that is over 6'1" might not have enough headroom. I got the GT LTD, and it has plenty of power, and being front wheel drive it seems to have more power than I need. The price cannot beat, and the GPS,Stereo,Auto Air conditioning are all great features that came with car. I highly recommend this vehicle.

By girlfriend of course I mean my tib. There is absolutely nothing I have been displeased about since I bought it. I love to drive it; and I still smile like a 16 year old who just got their first car, every time I get behind the wheel. The interior fit and finish is immaculate for such a bargain car. Besides being slightly under powered for a 2.7 liter V6, I have no complaints.
