I love this vehicle! I only wish that style hadn't changed so much.

Nice Car!

This has been one of the best cars I've owned. Very reliable, looks good, and it is fun to drive. I plan to try to keep it up as long as possible because it will be hard to give it up if and when the time comes!

Beautiful sporty car!

I love my Tiburon! People see it and wonder WHAT IT IS! It is beautiful! Its back seat does not have enough headroom, so its really only good for 2 people. The dark metallic blue color is excellent! Hyundai should never have discontinued it. They said the Genesis Coupe replaced it, but I only have eyes for the Tiburon!

Great car!

My Tiburon has served me well for several years now.... one recall for a fuse .... only routine maintenance needed. Comfortable ride, great handling!

2008 Hyundai Tiburon

I love this little Gem.... It has a sharp look to it. People compliment it all the time. I've never had a problem with it. Performance is out standing. Even after driving it for eight years it not only still looks new, it drives like it's brand new. Love driving it!

Hyundai, bring back the '08 Tiburon!

This sports car is nearly perfect for the normal, everyday kind of fun ride for folks on a budget. It's sleek, handsome body feels like an expensive sports car without breaking the bank. It handles like a dream and yet provides the functions of a clunky two-door sedan with its roomy trunk, decent back passenger space, and flexibility. The only improvement the Tiburon needs is to improve its 5-speed transmission so the fifth gear is a true cruising gear. The Mitsubishi transmission is very good, but the difference between 4th and 5th gear is so negligible it seems like it's a waste. The hydraulic clutch is smooth and responsive, and its repair costs are well within reason for its performance. The Genesis replacement for this model has its purpose, and the Veloster looks awful, but the Tiburon is where the normal driver can go from bland to wow without breaking the bank. Bring the '08 Tiburon back, Hyundai!

2008 Tiburon

good car for the money when buying used. many mods can be done easily and inexpensively but serious performance parts are scarce or non existent anymore as manufacturers have moved on to other platforms. besides it is handicapped with a cheap timing belt that costs almost as much as the car is worth to have it changed if you cant do it yourself and the V6 version is even worse because the brain dead engineers drive the water pump off the timing belt too! so not the best engine to expect to last if you do a ton of engine performance work on it.
