Faults:

The clutch cylinder went out but my dealer covered the cost of the part which was more than the labor, it was a minor repair.

The back hatch still rattles a bit, it's the top plastic cover on the window.

The blinkers still sometimes don't go on until you press the emergency flasher button.

General Comments:

I love this car. It is one of the best cars I have ever owned. Despite the small minor repairs, it has been very inexpensive to drive and reliable to a fault. It is both powerful, well mannered and remarkably nimble for its price range.

I have installed new suspension that has lowered the car 1.25" and now it handles even better.

I haven't driven the new Tiburon, but I definitely like the look of my car better. People still ask me "What kind of car is that, it's beautiful!"

I hope everyone enjoys there's as much.

Faults:

Clutch went bad in one year. The master cylinder in the clutch wasn't holding fluid or something like that. Needed a new transmission after that.. but I think the dealer installed the new clutch wrong which messed up the gearbox somehow. Thank god for the warranty. This is why I am giving it a 5 on reliability and a 5 for dealer service.

General Comments:

I really do love this car. With the exception of my clutch problems, it has been a real joy to drive. It handles really well and even though it isn't as fast as some sport coupes it is very "zippy".

And yes it does make people stare at you.
