own a 05 Hyundai Tiburon GT Ultimate Sports Package with sunroof and Infinity Sound system. When bought, had 13000 miles, now 40,000 love the pick-up and the mild roar through the muffler. looks are stunning, everyone who see my car for the first time love it! comfort for the driver and passenger is good, not for the people sitting in the back since not enough space for big and tall people. I'd call it a two-seater. Ample trunk space, better if back seats are put down. still suspension makes you feel all the potholes only problem I've had so far is the car pulling towards the right because of alignment issues. Also, when I jumped my car battery last winter, the sound system got damaged.

Amazing, Great drivers car

Fun to drive, even with a 2.0 4 cylinder it has quite a bit of power compared to some other 4 cylinders. gets going quick, and looks great. when im stopped at a red light i can see people driving by in mustangs and camaros looking at it. a little hard on pot holes, but on smooth road its like a dream.

I really loved this car when I purchased it in Fl. It had a great exterior and the sound system really pumped! I never had mechanical trouble or any trouble for that matter until I came to DC. The numerous pot-holes took a SERIOUS toll on the high performance tires. In the course of 2 years I blew 4 tires, and replaced more then 10. It was fun to drive but only on smooth streets, you can feel EVERY SINGLE NOOK&CRANNY in the street! Buyer beware if you live somewhere with jacked up roads!

Only 4 years old and rusting

This was my first new car and I've completely loved driving it. It's fast, gotten me out of scary highway situations more than once and it's never, ever given me mechanical problems. I've kept up all maintenance diligently as I didn't want to void any of the warranties. The low profile tires are a bit pricey to replace but other than that, upkeep hasn't been bad. The car sits low and that helps increase chances of a cracked windshield, which I've replaced once. But after having the car for only 4 years, it is rusting in 3 places. Hyundai's warranty won't fix it as the 3 year paint warranty expired and the rust hasn't "perforated" the metal completely. Sadly, I will be replacing it :(

Awesomeness

This is my second Hyundai. My first car was a 1995 Accent and I totaled it in an accident. I wanted another two door and initially went to test drive an eclipse. The dealer wanted me to test drive this car and I fell in love. The ride is so smooth, it handles so well except in rain or snow when driving around curves you have to really slow down or you'll hydroplane and swerve a lot. I get a lot of compliments on this car and most people don't believe its a Hyundai. It runs so well. I've had a few probs like needing a new starter after I rear ended someone, and new transmission wires bc they were loose, but the dealer was great!

Why pay 7 or 8 grand more for less was the conclusion I came to 3 years ago when I purchased my new Tiburon. At the time I was also considering the Celica and RSX which were more pricey and were 'base' models. My Hyundai is fully loaded and unlike the others, has leather, power sunroof, full power group, nice rims, dual exhaust and quite simply is very easy on the eyes. Since then, my gf has bought a new RSX Premium(9000 more) and I still say, my Tiburon is better. I have had zero problems and even if I did, Hyundai's warranty is amazing anyways. I drive it hard and it produces great performance and handling that is out of the league of other cars in its price range. Great car!!!

I was a big hater when it came to Hyundai until gas went through the roof, and then I decided to trade in my Wrangler in for the Tiburon. And I have to say it is an awesome car. The acceleration is awesome even with it being an automatic. It handles great and the interior is sweet. And if you put in an after market stereo (head unit,subs and an amp) WOW! I have two tens and an 800 watt amp and with the infinity system it is mind blowing. And the gas mileage is pretty good, around 26 mpg. All and all this is a great car.

Fun car!

this has been my favorite car. its fun to drive and looks awesome. i still get people turning heads and asking what kind of car it is. the only problems i have had with it has been weather related. i live in an area with a lot of snow and cold temps and you can tell they didnt design it for this type of weather. if there is more that 4 in of snow on the ground dont go out driving you will get stuck if you have to stop but handles pretty well besides that. but i dont mind. i just take it in every winter to get the e-brake replaced for free.

Awesome car!!

I love this car! I bought my Tiburon new in 2005 and have never had a problem with it. It is Super fun to drive and speeds up really nice. Very smooth acceleration and great gas mileage. Interior design is incredible as well as exterior. This car comes equipped with tons of features and is definately worth the money. Trunk space is enormous for such a small car. My massage table fits in there perfectly. Only problem is if you have someone who is 6' in your back seat. haha.. not too comfortable. But otherwise the car is very comfortable and a great ride!

Don't know about these critics of the SE version. I have over 30000 miles on mine and have had zero problems with it and I'm a very spirited driver. The six speed tranny is precision so maybe that's the problem some are having. They don't know how to drive it. All I've ever owned are manual shift sports cars. Even had a Camaro and the Tiburon SE is faster to 60 and has a faster top speed (145 with no mods at redline). Not too bad when there is over a litre of difference in the engine size. Not much more to ask for. And to those knocking the performance compared to other V6 cars, I can keep up with a Mustang GT with no problem. Just got to know when to shift, and how to drive!!!

How to get a 40k car for half that.

Been looking at a Tiburon since Hyundai came out with them. I owned a 1992 and 1994 Excel in the past. Loved the little cars... but Hyundai has moved to a whole new level with this. The car looks BEAUTIFUL. Heads turn constantly. Not much room in the back, as long as that is not important. Rear seats are for lower insurance, as they are too small & anyone over 5'6" will feel cramped. Leather interior well crafted; all controls in easy reach and well placed. Shifting is easy. Stay away from the automatic as this car is TOO much fun and is too fast. Shifting is require to get full enjoyment out of car. In fact, get the 6 speed for better gas millage on freeways.

Beautiful car inside and out. It's hard to believe Hyundai actually designed something this extraordinary. This car is a real head-turner. It looks so expensive and powerful, yet not many know that it is really a Hyundai. I'd have people believe it was a "baby porsche" if I wasn't so honest. More power is definitely a must, but it's one (if not the only car) in the "tuner class" with an available V6. Cars such as: Acura RSX, Honda Civic, Toyota Celica, Scion tC, Mitsubishi Lancer, Subaru Impreza WRX, Dodge Neon, and Cheverolet Cobalt SS all have 4 cylinders, and that's definitely something to take into consideration. Although it lacks stock performance, it probably has far more potential.

Overally I am happy with my purchase, no major issues at all. The sunroofs a bit quirky, but works. This car is a real head turner, I changed the hyundai logos to the ones used in Korea and Australia (Tuscani) and people always now ask if its some special european car. There are not too many on the road so I frequently see people stairing at my car as I am driving, kinda funny being in a Hyundai, not really though of a sporty or exotic. I like the 6spd manual, makes the car really fun to drive but it is a gas guzzler. I think the 28mpg is only if you driver very conserativly. On the highway I say I get ~25mpg depending on how much I push the car.

Way fun to drive. Especially in the hills of KY & my many trips to Central NY. This baby loves the hills & hugs the road. Be prepared for others to try to race you. I have been driving (I'm 40) and had young kids try to race me. However, I know now whats up and why as when I bought this car I thought it was cute. Only when I got a flat tire was I told this is a "High Performace" vehicle. Not to mention my cousin how runs a shop asked me why I bought it and like I said to him....I missed driving a coupe and it was just plain fun to drive.

This is my first sport car so I can't compare it to any other sport car, but I feel it needs more power. perfect handling (without a high performance suspensions and tires) The only bad thing about it that it’s very difficult to find accessories and modification for the body and the engine as well

This is the third Hyundai I have owned and will be the last. Tibs have a documented history of having transmissin problems (particularly the 6 speeds as found in the SE's). The styling is nice but what good is it when the transmission goes out and the acceleration is sub-par to other vehicles? I have had my car for 11000 miles and I have had transmission trouble with it since day one and the dealer refuses to acknowledge a design defect in the car. For the same price many other V-6's on the market can outrun you AND get better gas mileage, not to mention better workmanship. You truly do pay for what you get.

I have owned this moonlit blue tiburon for 10 months and have no major problems with the vehicle. The 360 wat infinity cd stereo system is great. The engine needs more power and I am considing getting a Mitsubishi Eclipse, after I test drive it, the price is almost the same and the engine sounds to be alot bigger. The only reason I may not buy the Eclipse is that the Tiburon has a little more leg room. I am 6' tall and the leg room is ok. I will have to see how the eclipse feels. The interior of the Tiburon is pleather and is ok and stylish but for the money there is more out there.The Tibby has been reliable and the 160lbs of torque is ok to drive but the 260lbs look more tempting.

Best coupe for the money!

I absolutely love this car. I've been looking at them since the redesign in 2002 and finally was able to pick one up. Sure it's not as powerful (horsepower) as some of the competition, but you won't notice when you get behind the wheel. I haven't seen a better looking car for under $25000 (and yes, I've looked).

i previously owned a 1973 saab sonnett III, which was a limited production sports car. the saab pales in comparison to the tiburon which is both sporty and practical at the same time. the handling is terrific and the comfort of riding in the vehicle is impressive. the most often heard comment i receive is: "is this really a hyundai?" based on the stigma still partially attached to hyundai automobiles, i view this as a huge compliment on my taste in cars.

The Tiberon is a real pleasure to drive. It makes me feel like I'm on the Indy 500 track. It's acceleration is great and corners like a go-cart. It's breaking distance is excellent. I am 68 years old and when I'm driving my Tiberon, I feel Like I'm 16, and behind the wheel of my dream car, the corvette. I have not checked out the top speed but I'm sure it will do all I need on the highway. When I drive my Tiberon, heads turn. Many people have walked up to me in the car and asked what kind of cat is that? It's a beauty. I Love my Tiberon.

Fun and easy going...

I luv my Tib, and after getting the true low down on the warranty, I put in a cold air intake by AEM to up my economy and it's much more to my liking. Realize friends that upgrading your vehicle does not neccisarily kill your warranty. If it interferes with the basic structure of the vehicle and CAUSES the problems, then your added part will be in question and you will not be covered. Upgrading your air intake will only help your vehicle, not hurt it, soooo GET R DONE!!! Upgrading parts is not a problem. When you get into chipping, turbo, and things of that nature is when you run into problems. It's not really neccisary. The car is quick. You can cheaply upgrade for more performance.

I drove the RSX-S, WRX, and Scion TC before purchasing my Tib. Those 4- bangers just can compare to the power and torque of the V6 this car has. Stylish exterior with a high-quality interior...great sound system. So far so good but I've had to have it aligned and the clutch is shuddering at only 6K miles which makes me a little concerned about the long-term reliability of this vehicle. My only truly major complaint is the choppy, cheap suspension which is just garbage compared to other vehicles in this class. Does not take bumps well at all but handles okay otherwise. Vague clutch. A very smooth and comfortable highway car though. Loaded with options...a real value for the money.

I was originally looking at a more expensive sports car, but found that they weren't very comfortable. The Tiburon was different. While not a Mercedes sedan, I found that I'm comfortable driving it (By the way, I'm 6'3" and 275 lbs). It's also the best buy around for the cost.

Test drove both the RX-8 and the '05 Mustang. MUCH more room inside than the Mustang, cool sporty looks like the RX- 8, better Warranty than both! Better value than both RX-8 or Mustang! I wager I get more questions about what kinda car the Tiburon is than I would driving an "everyone-knows-car" mustang (ho-hum) and the RX-8 which resembles most of the other Mazada models... Want a head-turner for low cost? This is the one you've been looking for!

I went from an Infiniti, G35 to this swift, economical, and affordable vehicle. I wasn't sure it was the right decision at first because, in this society, we always worry about what other people think. Furthermore, going from one extreme vehicle to the other was dramatic. But I'm proud of my cute, fancy machine. It's sturdy, does good on gas, and is fun to cruise and drive. I get the fun I want for over 15,000 dollars less in cost. I would recommend this car to anyone that wants the power, excitement and fun of this vehicle. Oh, leave the kids at home! Don't let the Hyndai name push you away. They've made tremendous improvements and are ranked third least

I've owned a Ford Mustang LX 5.0 & an Acura Integra GS-R in the past, & this car is just as fun & handles just as well. It could use more pick up/power, but that's my fault for not spending the extra $ to buy the V6. Too bad I had such a horrible experience w/the Hyundai dealer not honoring the lemon law on a used Acura Integra LS they sold me before I bought the Tib.

There's no denying that this car is one of the most beautiful in it's class. However, I was unfortunate enough to ignore the warnings and went with this car. The paint is trash. Look at it wrong and it chips. About 4 months ago I started having problems with the car starting which is a CLASSIC HYUNDAI PROBLEM. It's all over the internet, have a look!!! At stop signs the a/c, radio, and lights will go off until you start driving again and it never quite starts right away (if it starts at all). The seats are hard that the moonroof has been repaired THREE times already. I have heard that there are defective parts in the 'brain' that no one admits to.

No more mommy-mobile sedans for me! Yippee! This Tibby definitely ain't no kiddie car. Refined styling over earlier models make this car stand out from the crowd. This is the best Tibby yet. People often ask me what kind of car it is. Their jaws drop when I tell them it's a Hyundai. Plenty of power when I want or need it along with a decent, but not overpowering, note from the dual exhaust. Good handling on curves with little or no sloppy body roll. Uncluttered instrumentation and interior styling with easy-to-use controls. Definitely a car for those of us who want performance and style on a less-than-liberal budget.

This car is way too much fun. The review compares it to an RSX with an inline 4, and I say, how dare you? The V6 is where most of the weight is, and a few minor adjustments will drop the weight by 100 pounds. The clutch is the weakest part of the car for me, it just isn't fast enough, too much travel with factor settings.

At first I had serious doubts about buying a hyundai, but the tiburon GTV6 seriously changed my mind. The power is satisfying for the daily driver. The styling, both interior and exterior, is awesome. You can't find a better warranty anywhere. And you can't beat the price. It's a lot of car for the money. You just can't go wrong with this car.

i fell in love with this car before i even had the chance to drive it. i ordered the special edition and had to wait for it, and it was worth it. this is a fun car to drive, and banging through the tight 6spd manual makes you feel like you are in a much more expensive car. i have been asked many times what kind of car it was, and the reply is always "really? hyundai?? i though it was itallian." mine is black and i had custom wheels and the windows tinted. very sharp.

I have owned sports cars since I was 16, now 62, and this is one is rated as one of the best bangs for the buck. There are faster, slicker cars but at what price. If you are looking for a well built, comfortable, fun to drive sports car that won't break the bank then you must look at this car. Even us baby boomers can have fun with this car.

Best bang for the buck! Move over Honda and Toyota...we now have a Korean car with TONS of aftermarket mods available. My soon-to-be "Tuscani Black Shark" is a fun ride 110% of the time!

Tiburon handles very well on curves and turns. The backseat is roomy that my 10 year old son and my 3 year old daughter comfortably fit. In fact, my kids always prefer to ride in my Tiburon rather than my wife's 4 door midsize sedan, no matter how far the destination is. Very aggressive looking yet undeniably attractive, especially if you throw some nice wheels on the vehicle. Not to mention owning the Tiburon with a very low cost of ownership, because of the great warranty.

The 2005 Tiburon is redisigned througout. This car performs as good as it looks. I highly recomend this car to anyone in this car types market. The engine is awsome and the interior is superb. You have to get this car in the 5 speed it is lots of fun to drive. The fuel economy is great as well with a 2.7L V-6 the power is there for you to use as well. The GT model has 17 inch wheels and great handeling tires as well. The suspention on the Tiburon is tight and great for the drive. Being a front wheel drive car it dose suffer from some torque steer but nothing too sever.The 2005 Tiburon is an excellent buy for far less than the competitors.

I am 6' 4" and fit almost peerfectly into the Tiburon. For the weight and the small six it is extremely spirited. I am extremely surprised by the Tib being as I traded a 2003 Silverado for it, good power, the interior was well thought out and it rides well for a more sport suspension than what I am used to. Over all this car will impress not only on price but quality and performance as well.

The tiburon has sufficient power to put you back in your seat. The shifter feels loose even while in gear. The car has problems taking off when the rpms are higher than 3000. The clutch is grossly inadequent if you plan on taking to the races. The car comes alive with a few small engine mods. This car has tons of features for the price and will beat alot of the competitors in this class. The ride on the highway is remarkably smooth for this type of sport compact car. There are 2 seats in the back of the car, but are not comfortable for a person taller than 5'5".

Before this I owned a 2001 Tiburon and I put 133,000 miles in 4.5 years. I had one repair or the timing belt at 125,000 miles. This one of course is new, but I am loving the ride and some improvements and extras on the base model. I was disappointed that Cruise Control is not base in this model but it has keyless entry and an alarm and a couple of other nice things that the other one didn't have. Also the interior of the 2001 was jazzier.. but overall I love it!

I bought this vehicle from the dealership at first the vehilce was fine, i got 1/2 mi down the road they never put antifreeze in the car!! then they drove me around in circles on what they were going to do. I called hyundai Motor America and they have not called back in 3 weeks on what is going on they said they would trade out vehicle. Nothing has happened. Some plastic pieces are allready falling off the car. and it has 1400 mi not worth the money that they want for it. unless it's free don't bother buy a mini cooper S instead!!!!

I decided to give the tiburon a try and I have not been disappointed. After looking at other similiar cars in this class, the value, styling, and handling of the tiburon was hands down the best choice for me. This year's styling, both interior and exterior, is what caught my eye. It handles well, it's comfortable, and fun to drive. It's not your high performance sports car, but it definitely has the look and feel of one (without the high price tag). I've lost count of the compliments and the number of people who want to know what I'm driving, it's like having the best kept secret around.

My mom bought this car about 2 months ago in March and she absolutely loves it. I have driven it many times myself. With the GT model like she is it adds a 2.7L 172 horsepower V6 that adds more than enough power and also adds a 460 watt Infinty sound system with a subwoofer that sounds great. I myself have a 04 Chevy s-10 crew cab that i love and I added a premium sound system but it still doesn't sound as good as my mom's. I defintly recomend this car.

I am a big fan of the Hyundai Line, But it feels like the designers messed up one spot. Torque to the front wheels. When pulling out from a dead stop, there is extreme torque steer. Other than that, I love the ride, look, and performance of the vehicle and would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable sports car.

I was wowed when I drove this little pocket rocket. Superb performance, acceleration and braking. I bought it after one test drive. I was somewhat dismayed when it was recalled by Hyundai after owning it for only one week to replace tie rods that apparently were not standing up to their (Hyundai's) expectations. They further upgraded the steering gear to compliment the upgrade. Despite my temporary disappointment, I was impressed and delighted how fast and incredibly efficient Hyundai is at correcting a problem in their product. This is one great little car that is tight, fast and comfortable. Don't compare the 2005 Tiberons to the first ones, this is a whole different animal!

We walked into the dealership looking for a Sonata, not a Tiburon. What we found was fun and excitement. I have known others that have own Hyundais before and a family member bought one when they first came to the US. What crap they were back then. Always breaking down, always under powered. That isn't the same Hyundais we see now. The 2005 Tiburon is stylish and very good looking. Not a retro look of the new Mustang but stylish nonetheless. The lines are beautiful to look at, and if it looks as good driving down the road as it does sitting still it is amazing. It handles like a dream and rides just as well. All around a great car.

You will not see this car reviewed in many magazines, but do not let that stop you from considering these little pocket rockets. One drive and you will see what the combined efforts of the Koreans and certain Japanese companies, are spawning a love-child of possible historic value. I personally bought the 2.0L 4 cylinder with a manual transmission due to rising gas costs. But if you want power to spare you should go with the GT V-6. I do not know why all the magazines are not testing these cars, but I am sure once they start testing them there will be a great demand in America for them.

The lease was up on rag top 2000 Mustang GT. The wife spotted a Tiburon one Saturday at the car wash and liked the way it looked. We went to the Hyundai dealership and drove an automatic GT. I didn't rumble like the Mustang but it didn't rattle like the Mustang either. The Tiburon V6 was quick even with the auto and had a mellow exhaust that snarls a bit when pushed. The car held the road well with some understeer when thrown into a corner. Back at the dealership the wife learned about the SE model. Only option, sun roof. The Tiburon SE with the six speed manual transmission is even more impressive than the GT. This is a quick car, fun to drive, well appointed and inexpensive.

With the Tiburon it was love at first sight. With its sleek styling and sporty feel, the Tiburon was an easy choice. By now everyone was driving the popular Pontiac Vibe that I owned and I wanted something that would stand out in the crowd of the mundane. I was a little worried when I found out the horsepower of the 2.0 liter base model, but when I got behind the wheel it was amazingly responsive. I've been driving it for over a week now and have been nothing but excited to get in everyday. This is a thrill ride. Quick acceleration and very responsive steering, strong 4-wheel anti-lock brakes...the list goes on. The gear ratios are nicely layed out to make up for the horsepower. It zooms.

I have tried to figure out ways to customize it to make it look sportier, but I haven't come up with anything as of yet. I would recommend the Tiburon to anyone that is money conscience, but still in need of a sporty car!

For the money you cannot beat the quality of the vehicle and the buzz you will get from driving it. The 172 horsepower is a bit better than average but you can tweak this engine for minimal dollars and stay within the warranty. The vehicle's cornering ability is outstanding and the sports car feeling is outstanding. Best bang for the buck.

The Tiburon has a lot to offer anyone who is looking for a sporty car with great looks and lots of extra goodies. Everything is nicely finished and conveniently located inside. The seats hold you firmly in place. The torque on the car is crazy and the driving is exciting. There are lots of aftermarket add ons to make your Tibby custom and an even better performer. One is the Alpine Developments supercharger which can make over 300hp to the wheels. The exterior design is gorgeous. The car is modeled after the Ferrari 456 and in Korea it carries the name Tuscani, a town in Italy. The tires,wheels and suspension (which was developed together with Porsche designers) offer a sporty feel. All this for under 20k.
