2001 Hyundai Tiburon SE review from North America
"So far so good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not too much to list here yet as I've only had this 2001 Tiburon for 6 weeks.
Prior to buying it I had a Hyundai garage inspect it and it needed a rear strut as it was leaking. There was a leaking rad hose, and required two new front tires.
General comments?
I bought this car because of the value, and looks. Also because of the pretty good comments and ratings I found while researching used cars.
I am overall pretty happy so far.
My main concern is an annoying vibration I get once the tachometer hits 3000 rpm. It goes away as soon as 3000 rpm is surpassed. Does anyone else experience this and if so what did you do?
