1999 Hyundai Tiburon FX review from North America
"Reliable, economical and sporty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mainly minor things...
Front cup holders are worthless.
Seat-belts do not retract.
Paint chips easily.
General comments?
Overall I am pleased with this car. It has been very reliable and gets decent gas mileage. I have an auto and get on average around 26-27 mpg combined. Interior is sporty looking, exterior is OK.
Another 20hp would be great. Pretty quick in 1st and 2nd gear, but after that it really lacks. Highway passing from 50-70mph will take a little while.
I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a reliable compact car with good gas mileage. Don't buy it for speed!
