2000 Hyundai Tiburon Base review from North America
"If your looking at a Celica, look here instead!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.......yet. I hope Hyundai truly is building better cars. The price along with the great 10/100 warranty sold me.
General comments?
Great little car for about 13K, base model includes A/C, power windows and locks, 4 wheel disc brakes, tilt, cruise, 6 speaker stereo, and a kick butt warranty.
Accelerates well, stops well, ride is a bit firm, road noise is a bit much, engine is smooth (not 'Toyota' smooth but pretty good).
Averaging about 30 MPG (90% highway).
Radio could use help (reception 'sucks').
5th gear could be 'taller' for highway cruising (3000RPM @ 65MPH).
Styling is a great, people can't believe this is a Hyundai!
