2002 Hyundai Tiburon V6 GT review from North America
"This is a nice looking unreliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch and Flywheel being replaced at 57,000 miles. Not covered under warranty. Approximate cost of $1800.
CD player was replaced under warranty.
Electric Door locks had to be repaired.
Battery had to be replaced after only 2.5 years.
Headlight (Bulb) had to be replaced twice.
Struts were loose and rattling. They had to be tightened up.
General comments?
This car was attractively priced and enjoyable to drive when not in for repairs. The last straw is the clutch and flywheel having to be replaced at 57,000 miles at a cost of $1800.00. I will not buy another Hyundai regardless of price and features.
