2004 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 review from North America
"For around $20.000 - It Looks more exspensive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
General comments?
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.
