2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT review from North America
"It's an OK vehicle if you have an electrician's background to fix all the electrical issues"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The most common annoyance since purchasing this vehicle are the electricals. Since purchasing this vehicle in 2003, I have already gone through 5 batteries.
The sunroof motor has burned out after two years of owning it.
The power-locks have been a constant pain since owning this vehicle. They open and close whenever they feel like it.
Factory clock on dashboard has not work since one week after purchasing this vehicle.
Replaced the left automatic window twice.
The thermostat and radiator went after 75,000 miles.
General comments?
Car is a lot of fun to drive. Handles really well in bad weather such as snow and rain.
However, this vehicle has plenty of electrical problems.
I will not purchase another Hyundai in the future.
