1999 Hyundai Tiburon review from North America
"For the price and warranty, who could complain?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bumper had to be re-painted twice because the silver paint they switched to had a tendency to chip. That was covered under warranty.
The light in my CD player has burnt out, making it impossible to change tracks while it's night time unless you turn the overhead light on.
Rear brakes had to be replaced before front ones have. I've yet to replace the front brakes at 69,000 miles, but the rear ones were replaced at 50,000.
General comments?
The car has great initial pick up, but not for very long.
It handles curves exceptionally well.
Since there is no annoying "ding" when you leave your lights on and open the door I've had to re-charge the battery nearly a dozen times.
The backseat doesn't accommodate tall people very well. So make sure to tell them to duck when your closing the back hatch!
