2003 Hyundai Tiburon

Pros: Great Handling Ease of Driving
Cons: Not enough head room

The car handles well and is easy to drive. Driving the manuel was very easy even for me a left handed driver. I would recomend this car for anyone.

Pros: Incredible handling. Little engine loves to wind up.
Cons: Very poor quality Bad service

Our 2003 tiburon is literally falling apart. Not driven hard, and yet the door handle came off in my dad's hand. See http://www.tomvale.com/hyundai.htm for a full list of the problems we've had, and how much was NOT covered by Hyundai.

Don't believe their claims as to "Honda Quality". It's nonsense.

Also, the three dealerships we've dealt with have all had disappointing service.

Pros: Beautiful lots of options Great aftermarket support
Cons: NONE!

One of the most original looking cars on the road and a blast to drive. After almost 30,000 miles on mine so far I have had ZERO problems! There are so many cool things to upgrade for the car, turbo's, superchargers, body kits and that makes it a blast to own!

Here is a great price on superchargers if you want one:

Pros: interior with Leather; attractive ;fast enough; Small back seat (No carting around freeloaders lol)
Cons: The fuel economy is poor ;Can attract unwanted attention from your local law enforcement

I bought my 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT after suffering through a difficult relationship with a Saturn SL2. Needless to say I am impressed, you are simply not going to find a better deal on a sport coupe. During my research period I looked over many other Sports cars and the tiburon was exactly what I wanted, great looks and decent preformance. I have read many reviews on them before buying and found many complaints as to the agility and power. I mean people lets be honest you are spending less then 20K, you are not buying a Aston Martin or a Lambo and will not get the same preformance from it. As far as competition with the celica goes, don't race it. If you insist on it supercharge it and then you can see the celica in the rearview mirror. I do not think it is even fair to compare it to the RSX as it is not in the same price range and for a completely diff. audience. Simply put the Tiburon GT is a great fist sports car and one I hope to own for at least 6-7 years.

Pros: Looks, price, a/c works awesome, seats are extremely comfortable
Cons: Ride quality

I bought my tiburon over a month ago. So far no problem except a sqeaky brake on the back, ( I accidently left my
parking brake on for a couple of miles). I love this car. I am turning 30 this year, and this will be my first sports car. I love the looks and everything about this car...EXCEPT the ride. I have to drive on a bumpy highway for 30 miles everyday to go to work and it is not pleasant. I turn up the music so I dont have to listen to the road noise in the cabin. But when you are on the interstate this car rides like its on a cloud. Its like night and day the difference in the ride. This is the only
complaint I have about this car...but I guess I should have expected this with it being a sports car with sporty suspension.

Pros: looks, rims, speed, price
Cons: highway noise and noise

Every since i've had that car i cannot stop playin with the shiftronic. The car is great, looks really nice, and i havent had any problems. There is alot of highway noise but its liveable. Yet, for the money i paid, the car surpasses any minor problems

Pros: quick
Cons: windows go after 58,000 - 59,000 miles along with the radio

After my Tiburon reached 58,000 miles the passenger and driver windows are having a hard time going up and down and the light for the radio began to come in and out. Now my wheel barring is shot and I just got the car may 2007. and i already had the brakes changed, and the tires wore. I heard many people have had the window problem I figured the wheel barring and the brakes are normal wear and tear but the windows! it is ridiculous to have that problem. they should have done a recall or something because a number of people i have spoke to that have the 2003 tib. have had or have the same problem. Something should have been done.

Pros: Great acceleration!
Cons: Torgue steering!

This car in an Automatic DEFFINATLY has a torque steer! Accelerate hard and this car is going to pull. So if you are experienced in that sort of thing then it is no problem, but rookies need to watch themselves. It is slight enough though that one could get used to it and learn how to keep the car under controll. This little car sure does have some power to it though for how small it is! I am loving it for being my first car ever. :)
