Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: style, gas usage
Cons: size, quality, options
The Bottom Line: I recommend it for low-budget tweeners who just want the look but not the expense...
This was my first Tiburon. I loved it. I looked for a year to find the silver with cloth. I was in my early twenties. The looks of the round body really turned me onto the car. I loved the round headlights, the humped hood. It was just sexy smooth to ... read more

Pros: everything else
A big toy for a big boy
Cons: wheel bearing soft stock tires
loud transmission
The Bottom Line: I recommend it.
Because it's fun to drive it.
It's a great car for two and durable.
Bad quality of material but good assembly.

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Cheap, great style, lots of features, nice handling
Cons: Be prepared to pay for a major service, paint job, vibration, poor visibility
The Bottom Line: Knowing all the cons I would still buy this car. For this price, if you want something reliable but ugly get an old Camry instead.
We recently needed to buy a replacement for our written off Saturn and we only have a budget around $7000-$8000. We've just moved to the US so we are not too keen on car financing (lack of credit history hence big interests). We both like cars with a ... read more

Pros: Style, interior.
Cons: Horrible in snow. Headlight replacement.
The Bottom Line: Great car for no snow driving.
Very nice looking car for the money. Handled very well and speeds up like a champ. Michelon tires came standard but with regular rotating only lasted 11,000 miles. This car would not go anywhere without sliding in the snow. Regardless how little or ... read more

I bought my first Tiburon about three months ago, it was my first car. I absolutely was in love with everything about it, the way it ran, gas mileage, definitely the interior, exterior, etc. Just an absolutely beautiful, well-crafted car overall. Last ... read more

Pros: Standout styling, superb handling, excellent dealer support
Cons: Goofy cupholder placement
The Bottom Line: Distinctive looking car with excellent handling and an unbeatable warranty. Buy this car with confidence!
I have owned my 2000 Hyundai Tiburon since new. With 40,000 miles on it, it has proven to be trouble-free, fun transportation. It is not the most powerful on the block, but where the Tib really shines is in the handling department. It's my ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sporty looking, sleek, smooth ride, affordable
Cons: Cramped backseat, cup holder placement, no anti-lock brakes
The Bottom Line: I would recommend to at least try the 2001 Hyundai Tiburon. It is a very good car and affordable.
I have read the other reviews on here and I have just bought my first Hyundai Tiburon this summer. So, I guess that means I should write my review too.
I bought my Tibby VERY cheap, I mean VERY. I saw it driving past a local "junk yard." ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Styling, Price, Performance
Cons: Size, Limited headroom
The Bottom Line: The Tiburon is exactly what it appears to be, an affordable sports car with good reliability and fuel mileage.
I purchased a 2001 Hyundai Tiburon in January 2003. So far I have been very pleased with the vehicle. The styling was what initially attracted me to this car, but I have to admit I was reluctant to purchase a Hyundai. After doing some research, it seems ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great value, very attractive, reliable, clear & crisp sound system, long-term warranty
Cons: Stock tires make too much road noise, bad seat belt retraction, low performance
The Bottom Line: I recommend this car for anyone who's looking for a stylish sports car at a very reasonable price. Not if you are looking for performance though.
Update: 4/12/04 I've owned my 2001 Hyundai Tiburon for 2 years and I have no regrets in making my choice. My first choice for a car was the 2001 Toyota Celica because I was into it's stylish look. The price was a little out my range though. I did a ... read more

Pros: Elegant styling and very affordable. Improved performance over last year.
Cons: Still under powered and very tight in all seats.
The Bottom Line: Hyundai has improved the 2001 Tiburon over previous years. There is still some room for more improvement.

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sporty, handles well, great warranty.
Cons: Bad on ice, little trunk space.
The Bottom Line: I am very happy with my Tiburon. If I had to do it all over again, I would make the same choice. I have had no problems with the car.
Why a new car?
Five months ago I was driving along in my SUV, a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo, when I took a turn too fast and almost rolled the thing. It wasn't the first time, but with my 2 year old strapped in the back seat, it really shook me up. ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: A Huge surprise...compared to the old reputation of a Hyundai.
Cons: The back seats maybe a problem for taller passengers.
The Bottom Line: Affordable, Reliable, Sporty. This car can handle under pressure and look good while doing it. Great Warranty and virtually maintenance free.
I love it, I love it, I love it. I can't rave enough about my Tiburon. Externally a much more attractive design than it's previous model. As a first time buyer I was warned stay away from Hyundais because according to friends and family they had a ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: No 
Pros: Sporty appearance, reasonable price, good gas mileage
Cons: Terrible in bad weather, no head room, cramped back seats
The Bottom Line: I like my Tiburon, but have had many annoying problems with it. If you can afford a Celica, I would definitely stay with Toyota. You get what you pay for!
Today is the 6 month anniversary of the day I bought my Tiburon. I feel that I am now entitled to write an accurate review on it. First of all let me say " I Love my Tibby !", but let me also tell you it is a love, hate relationship. The car itself is ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sporty styling, amount of standard options for price.
Cons: Not as fast as it looks, cupholders.
The Bottom Line: This car is obviously not for everyone. Excellent for single people who want something fun and inexpensive to drive.
I have had my 2001 Silver Tiburon SE for almost 4 months now (bought in August '01). It has almost 6000 kms on it so far. The only problem I have had with it is some condensation build-up in one of the foglights. Dealer replaced - no problem. I ... read more

Pros: Sleek design, Teriffic handling, lots of gusto (5-speed), well equipped.
Cons: Stock tires lack grip. Poor cup holder placement. Not many after-market parts (yet)
The Bottom Line: A fine car for those looking for handling prowlness and great styling for a bargain price.
I've had this car for over 6 months now (since May 2001) and it now has 7000 miles on it.
Styling
At first the styling struck me as unconventional, but I grew to like it a lot. The front end is very contemporary; Round headlights that ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: No
Pros: exotic styling, loaded, big dealer discounts available, nice handling for price
Cons: survive 100k miles?, resale, you bought a "Hyundai", some cheap interior assembly and materials
The Bottom Line: Until some higher mileage reviews come in, you are a Guinea Pig. Make sure you can afford to be.
I have read many positive reviews from owners of Tiburons. While I can understand the enthusiasm for such a cool looking car w/ so many accesories at a low price & loaded w/ standard features, not to mention decent performance & a low price (if you ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: fun and sporty but affordable, including modest insurance rates
Cons: more power in next year's (2002) will mean higher insurance rates
The Bottom Line: For a very reasonably priced car with modest insurance, it's a great deal and a whole lot of fun to drive.
My friends call me anal retentive. Deciding to buy my new car was no exception - I spent about a month researching new cars, what I liked, what I didn't like, what it would cost, what fellow Epinionators thought. The Hyundai Tiburon didn't even make my ... read more

Pros: It's fun to drive, it's an affordable sports car, it's got bang for the buck.

If my opinion changes, I'll be back with an update in the future.
Hey, what can I say negative at this point? I finally got a sports car. I fell in love with my cobalt blue Tiburon when I first saw it at the dealership. I test drove the other car I was interested in, a Ford Focus which drove ok, but the Focus got put ... read more
