2008 Hyundai Tiburon GK review from Malaysia

"Just OK due to terrible service support in Malaysia"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Ordered myself a brand new 2008 Hyundai Tiburon, even though my recently purchased i10 (first registered for consumer) had a major problem.

During the collection day, I noticed the car's left indicator (signal) was not functioning. All left: front, interior & rear. The light was static (not blinking).

Eventually, it took Hyundai's so called expert about 130 minutes to rectify the problem.

They had taken everything out from the car: battery etc and put them on the floor. Oh god, surely ripping my heart.

Finally they found out the wire was not connected.

Very funny as the car was taken to PDI/Puspakom check prior registration in Malaysia @JPJ.

Hence I rejected the car.

They gave me a new car.

This car is just OK.

Guess what???

The exterior is more terrible then my first Tiburon.

The joints at the bumper are not proper.

Can see a gap about 0.5cm below front main light (above the bumper).

Some joint appear to be off-set about 2-3mm from the body.

OK, do I deserve this?

After paying for RM133,000 for a piece of crap?

Sadly the technical support here is worse.

General comments?

Purchased the car due to its unique handling.

Eventually sticks on the road like glue (changed the tyres of course).

The power is just OK: pops 141BHP and gets you to 100 in 9.5s.

Only thing is the build quality is poor.

And the support service is even worse.
