My favorite sports car! Luxury for cheap!

by yma1977
Jun 11 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: price, style, quality, fun, attention getter, roomy front, stereo system
Cons: eventual hatch noise, small backseat
The Bottom Line: If you don't want to spend $50,000 for a quality, luxury sports car, get the Tiburon!

I bought my 2003 Hyundai Tiburon brand new in 2002. I previously owned the 2001, and as soon as I saw the new body style, I was drooling and knew I was going to get my hands on the 2003 as soon as I could. The 2003's looks are crowd-stopping. I don't ...

(Way)Too pretty, and too good a deal to pass up

by koltzy
Jun 09 '02 - Updated Jun 14 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Looks, Warranty, Power, Looks, Standard Features, Stereo, Looks
Cons: Below Avg. MPG and Paint, Imperfect Sheetmetal, Brake/Throttle Pedals, Headroom, Torque Steer
The Bottom Line: If looks, features, and price are your bag, this is the car for you. If you aren't so hung-up on looks, price, or engine torque, get an RSX or Celica.

I bought this car a week ago after researching and test driving cars for 4 months. I traded in my 1999 Mustang. I was looking for a front wheel drive car (I live in Wisconsin) that was as sexy as my Mustang, that had things my Mustang didn't offer...

Pros: Great Warranty, Performance,Looks!
Cons: Blind spot, low resale value, poor gas mileage
The Bottom Line: Don't believe every thing you read about this car go test drive it for your self it is more than just a pretty face. You'll be hooked

I have had the Hyundai Tiburon for 4 months and have put 3000 miles on it since. I finally made the purchase after looking at ALL the usually suspects I won't name them, we all know who I am talking about anyway.

This car was well optioned...

Amazing Buy

by gmemployee
May 19 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great looking car, handles well, low price, unbeatable warranty, back seat is not that cramped
Cons: engine is not too powerful
The Bottom Line: The 2003 Hyundai Tiburon is an amazing buy for a sporty looking, practical, safe, and fun to drive car

The 2003 Hyundai Tiburon is a great new car from Hyundai. The designers definitely hit a homerun when they drafted this beauty. As far as being economical, it blows the competition out of the water. You will not find a car of this quality and style...

An affordable sports coupe for grownups

by mkaresh mkaresh is a Lead on Epinions in Cars & Motorsports, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10
Sep 23 '02 - Updated Jun 22 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Price, quality look and feel, sophisticated styling
Cons: Tall people won't fit, ride, rear seat, handling near the limit
The Bottom Line: Inside and out looks and feels much more expensive than it is. Lacks competitors' finesse near the limit, but also does without tacky styling details. A great buy.

The automobile market is currently awash in car’s that look nice on the outside but look and feel cheap on the inside. Nissan products leap especially to mind, but many domestic brands also do poorly here. More and more, it seems you must spend over ...

Great body and kicks for less

by sfoltz
Oct 13 '03 - Updated Apr 02 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fun to drive, very solidly built
Cons: Paint issues, harsh ride at times
The Bottom Line: Want fun for little cash? Here's your ticket to ride!

This is an updated and revised review of the 2003 GT model with automatic. Everything remains stock except for the wheels and tires (which I upgraded to 17" and Toyos) and a few cosmetic changes. I don't consider the Tiburon to be a true ...

Pros: Excellent performance for a great price, sporty interior.

I love every aspect about the car. The styling is much better than the previous years, the handling is superb, and the rush when you hit...

sweet ride

by blackgtz
Nov 23 '02 - Updated Dec 13 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: styling, price, 17" wheels, key-less entry.
Cons: head room
The Bottom Line: Looks, Looks, Looks. Smooth and stylish in one. Even your frinds who complain about everything will be stumped to find anything wrong with this car.

Had the car about 8 weeks now and it definitely turns heads. I bought the silver, and comments abound when getting in and out of the car at shopping malls and gas stations.

One major flaw is in the lane changes, you know shoulder checking...ya...

Awesome car, awesome price

by yourgod17
Jan 15 '04 - Updated Jan 18 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Price, sporty. Tons of things come standard, good sound system
Cons: Backseat, gas mileage
The Bottom Line: For what you pay, you get a ton of features and one of the best looking affordable cars out on the road.

I bought a 2004 Tiburon (Auto I4) and am more than happy with the car. First of all, you can't beat the value. You get power locks, power windows, power mirrors, remote entry, alarm, CD player and air conditioning standard on the base model which retails ...

Great car

by gumbi1978
Mar 13 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Gorgeous, fun to drive, lots of features for a good price, impressed with the quality
Cons: Cramped, useless back seat :)
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for an attractive, economical, sporty car, try this one. For us, it was love at first sight :).

I really love this car! We leased the silver one, automatic, with a sunroof. We almost leased the dark blue one (beautiful), but it would have been harder to keep clean.

It took some time getting used to how low the body of the car is....

Love At First Bite

by Syrinx7
Jan 12 '03 - Updated Aug 14 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Sexy styling, good performance, and handling, loads of features for the price.
Cons: No power seats, somewhat limited visibility, below average gas mileage.
The Bottom Line: A really nice looking, well put together car for an extremely reasonable price. A terrific value.

My wife, and I first saw one of these cars on display inside of a shopping mall this past summer. We fell in love with the looks of it right away, and since we were going to be shopping for a new car later in the year, we decided that the 2003 Tiburon...

Hyundai Sports Coupe? You will be surprised

by xtremegrandam
Jan 29 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Sporty Styling 6 speed manual w/ V6 Fully loaded
Cons: Interior plain Small Mirrors create blind spots Lack of rear space
The Bottom Line: The Tiburon GT V6 offers an excellent fully loaded car all in one package at an amazing low price starting at around 18K.No other car does this.

First of I must say I am a GM person. It’s not that often that I find myself straying from the GM pack. But Because of certain reason I now find myself looking for an new car and as a joke I went to the local Hyundai dealership to test drive a new...

A shark by any other name....

by zengeos
Mar 25 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: shark like appearance, general handling, standard features, great initial quality
Cons: rear seat room, EPA mileage
The Bottom Line: The 2003 Tiburon hits the mark on virtually every count for the market it's aimed for. Low price, quality craftsmanship, good handling, awesome good looks.

Shopping for a 2 door hatchback is not that difficult. In the under $20,000 price range you really only have 3 and soon to be 2 vehicles to choose from. Toyota Celica, Mercury Cougar (discontinued for 2003) and Hyundai Tiburon.

When my mother...

Hyundai's Sportiest Coupe Yet....With a Touch of Class!

by blkane1
Mar 13 '02 - Updated Jul 08 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: (GT version) Striking looks, great value, smooth v6, surprisingly quiet
Cons: stiff ride, no side door bumper moldings, low headroom, cramped rear seat,
The Bottom Line: The Tiburon is an absolute bargain. Handles well, great acceleration and looks, and a host of premium yet standard features. Loaded for $19,200...what v6 in it's class can compare?

After reading several write-ups and test drives of the new 2003 Hyundai Tiburon, I decided it was my turn to see what all the hoopla was about. I have a solid history of driving Japanese imports over the last 25 years for contrast and hopefully may...
