1998 Hyundai Tiburon FX review from North America
"Good for looks, bad for safety"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major always good with warranty.
General comments?
Don't have a front end collision with this car. Especially with anything bigger than a small volkswagon cabrio. Very dangerous in crash. Front end damage in 10 mile rear end crash. Car was totaled, front end dipped under car in front when brakes were applied. Only 150.00 in damage to the car I hit.
