1999 Hyundai Tiburon LX review from North America
"Quality vehicle for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car rattles. The hatch on this car can drive one to insanity with its consistent noise.
The factory tires provided about 20,000 miles of service. Not horrible, but I had expected a bit more.
Windshield wipers continue to loosen from the mount. I believe this to be a cold weather event with the Tiburon.
General comments?
The car, other than what has been listed above, is a fantastic car. It handles well, engine strength is ample, and overall value is untouched by any car in it's class.
Hyundai dealerships have been like night and day - there is no chance of knowing what type of service you will get from any given dealer.
My experience with the Tiburon has been a great one. If only it were a size larger...
