1999 Hyundai Tiburon review from North America
"This car looks like nothing else on the road, is fun to drive, and very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The timing belt had to be replaced after I'd had the car one year.
I had the rear brakes replaced last month. This is a routine repair and the first time I'd ever had to have new ones put one since purchasing the car.
I had to replace the clutch this month.
General comments?
The low, bucket seats are very comfortable.
There are almost no blinds spots on this car compared to my last, a Ford Escort ZX2.
The handling is very reliable and responds quickly; if it were a person it would have cat like reflexes.
Gets great gas mileage.
It has very quick acceleration (manual transmission).
In the 4 years I've had my car, I've only recently had to have major repairs done.
I've loved owning this car and am looking into getting a slightly newer one.
