2004 Hyundai Tiburon Reviews

Air Bag Light

Fan Switch issues

Blown Strut.

I love my car. The dealer has covered everything under warranty, and I am a second owner.

It is a quick, fun little car. It gets pretty good gas mileage, I average 26-28 mpg.

I do store it in the winter, don't think it would do well in the New England conditions.

Not a car for passangers, have to be careful when you shut the hatch or it slams them in the head.

You can't beat this car for the price.

NOTHING MAJOR.. But again I have a Automatic. Glad I didn't buy Manual because all I hear is complaining about clutch going bad. Maybe it's the car, Maybe it's the driver. I think it's probably both. clutch isn't the best quality and drivers thinking they are driving a race car. This is a Touring Sports car, NOT a RACE CAR Guys.

You get what you pay for mostly. I knew driving off the lot that this was going to be a fun car to drive for the money (about $20.000) and so far after 58.000 miles I have been right. I drive it somewhat hard but not racing it with every Honda or Toyota I see at the light, (which I'm sure most do).Having a V6 and not a 4cyl you might think you have a lot of power, but this isn't the case. The power is very good, but a Honda and Toyota with a little if any tweaking will most likely beat you with their 4 cyl (like the Si). I Love the way The Tib engine sounds from the inside! It really does give you a sense of power, You would think that a V8 is under your hood with the roar you hear. Wind noise is present as you drive down the Highway, but if you have music on you'll never know.:) Enjoy it BUT be safe. Good car.

Paint is pealing and the seats are fading.

Hyundai did a poor job and (looks like this has been a problem for quite awhile), at painting their cars.

All cars I have owned have withstood bird droppings and according to Hyundai, their paint doesn't withstand bird dropping and the droppings will eat through the paint if the car is not cleaned within hours of the droppings.

Also they claimed that all lower level cars will have the dye wear off from the seats, when getting in and out of the car. I reported these problems to the BBB and went to Arbitration and lost to Hyundai. They refuse to fix the paint peelings or the seat.
