2000 Hyundai Tiburon review from North America
"Best car under $35KUSD (and only costs $16KUSD)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One rear defroster grid.
Sticky Seatbelt retractors.
Fuse box cover stays open.
General comments?
This car is fast for a car under $25K... beats all my friends cars; Cavalier, S10, Cutlass Supreme, Skylark, Justy, much more..
The ability to say my problem areas in 19000 miles were burnt out headlight, rear defroster grid, sticky seatbelt retractors, is amazing.. I have had no drivability problems.
The headlights are equal to those found on $40K European cars, the performance matches Integra's, Cougars, etc. Last and definitely NOT least, the unique look is excellent, and only similar to: last generation Celica, high end Benz's, and a couple of model Jag's.
Interestingly, all above mentioned cars have a bigger low beam headlight; but the Tiburon has a larger high beam lense. Now that you have read this you will notice it and it looks great!! A++ automobile!!
