1997 Hyundai Tiburon FX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch went bad in one year. The master cylinder in the clutch wasn't holding fluid or something like that. Needed a new transmission after that.. but I think the dealer installed the new clutch wrong which messed up the gearbox somehow. Thank god for the warranty. This is why I am giving it a 5 on reliability and a 5 for dealer service.
General comments?
I really do love this car. With the exception of my clutch problems, it has been a real joy to drive. It handles really well and even though it isn't as fast as some sport coupes it is very "zippy".
And yes it does make people stare at you.
