2001 Hyundai Tiburon review from North America
"A car built for the twenty year old!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car's right interior side panel separated from the body and had to be repaired two days after it's purchase. The car is pulling to the right after only three weeks of ownership. Most recently, the right interior door panel changed color when Armor-all was used as a cleaner. The right panel appears to be composed of a different material than the left panel?!? These small problems have eliminated my confidence that the purchase of a new vehicle would reduce my cost and time commitment for repairs.
General comments?
Despite the bizarre interior malfunctions,
I really like the Tiburon.
The Tiburon's ride is smooth and quiet.
No one can deny the exterior look is eye catching, and a confidence boost.
It is a relief to feel good when parking in a lot, instead of trying to avoid others because your car looks so bad!!
