"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!

Suspension is a bit firm? It supposed to be a sports car isn't it?

I just bought a 2000 tiburon and I am loving it. I have the bright green color and this thing gets plenty of second looks. The one thing I want to know is where should I take my car to get touch up paint jobs done for little scratches here and there (ex. under the spoiler) It looks like a rock might have hit and scratched it up. Nothing big, just wondered where I might take it or even order it and touch it up my self. Thanks.

This car can be compared to a celica as in Australia they appeal to the same market. Affordable front wheel drive sporting coupe! By the way guys Hyundai have been excellent with my purchase and service of my Getz. So impressed with everything from their products of the last five or so years and their professionalism, that I stepped into my first foreign car and am not looking back. Better than the very poor Ford experiences of past> No Doubt!!!
