Holds up pretty well considering the age and milage

I like this car a lot, buying it used with the age and milage it had, I had a few upfront repair costs, such as waterpump leak, tie rods, and the ac went out after 20 years of use. After fixing ut up its a pretty low maintenance fun car to drive and reliable enough to drive across country. I reccomend finding one that has all stock engine parts, aftermarket parts that are installed incorrectly can make for more expensive repairs down the line.

2003 Hyundai Tiburon

I've had my 2003 Hyundai Tiburon for 17 years...bought it certified pre-owned in 2004 at Frank Hyundai in San Diego - it only had 1,000 miles on it.... and have loved it since day one! Easy to handle, fun to drive, good on gas mileage and stylish design. It just hit 200K miles and I recently had it painted.... Wish they still made Tiburons and the Genesis......Thanks to Hyundai service advisors and mechanics, it's lasted as long as it has.....very pleased....

2004 Hyundai Tiburon

I've owned my Hyundai Tiburon since 2004. I purchased it in 2003 when it was only 1 year old from Frank Hyundai. It now has 199K miles on it and still running strong. It is a fun car to drive and looks good and is great on gas mileage. I can even fit my bike in the back. I wish they still made this vehicle - I would definitely buy another!!

Fun vehicle to drive

Vehicle is very sporty. Moves and handles very good. The inside is roomy in the front, but the back seats are kind of tight. Not too much room for grown folks. The motor and transmission have enough power and torque to make it a fun toy worth the money!

Love, Love , Love My Car

I am so sad that they don't make this model anymore. I love it bunches. Get lots of people asking about it. One guy at a store that I go to says "Are you taking good care of my car"? It makes me feel good that people are interested in it. It is a 2003 and I hope I can drive it forever.

Vehicle is 14 years old and I still get complements of good it looks. Too bad you discontinued.

Only a couple of complaints. I had to have the car repainted under warranty due to a poor factory job. The repaint looked good for about a year and then not so good. I took it back to the dealer and they refused to fix the bad paint job. The electrics are not the best. Had to replace the speedometer and dash instruments under warranty. The fan switch has been replaced three times. The last two at my expense at over $100 each time far a $5 switch. Just notified that the ball joints, etc needs to be replaced.

Hyundai Tiburon

My little red Hyundai Tiburon is by far the best car that I have ever had in over 45 plus years. Too bad that they don't make them anymore. I will keep it until it takes its "last mile." It is the perfect size for me and handles beautifully. it has given me excellent service in the 13 years that I have had it. My husband and I bought it here at Drew Hyundai and it only had 22 miles on it (or thereabouts).

Great Car!

This car has been through everything with me and other than age-related parts replacement, she's been dependable and fun to drive. All leather seats, and a standard Infinity sound system make this car well worth the price. I just wish that Hyundai didn't discontinue the Tiburon in favor of the Genesis.

My little red Tiburon

I love, love my Tiburon. It is so much fun to drive. I have people come up to me in parking lots & ask what it is. It is 13 years old but in great shape. I will be sad when I have to get another car. They don't make Tiburons anymore.
