The car rattles. The hatch on this car can drive one to insanity with its consistent noise.
The factory tires provided about 20,000 miles of service. Not horrible, but I had expected a bit more.
Windshield wipers continue to loosen from the mount. I believe this to be a cold weather event with the Tiburon.
The car, other than what has been listed above, is a fantastic car. It handles well, engine strength is ample, and overall value is untouched by any car in it's class.
Hyundai dealerships have been like night and day - there is no chance of knowing what type of service you will get from any given dealer.
My experience with the Tiburon has been a great one. If only it were a size larger...
I agree with the comments on the size of the Tiberon. Seduced by the sporty look, when I purchased I somehow missed that it was very cramped. Not a good buy for a tall person - very little headroom. Otherwise a great car.
