2003 Hyundai Tiburon SE review from North America
"Welcome to the "in" crowd"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet.
General comments?
The car is only 3 weeks old so I haven't had any service done on it yet.
What I can tell you is the car turns heads, mostly with the import car crowd who long to get something like this and the next day be at the accessories store buying a 100 parts to jazz it up.
The head room is minimal and shoulder checking to merge or take the left lane is pretty much left up to the side view mirror.
One car review book said the all black interior was to much and it needed some coloured accents to break up the black, I don't see this problem I like the all black espicially when you get the leather seats like I did.
The roud guages with chrome around the outside add a nice racy touch.
The 2.0 litre 4 cylinder pulls nicely and is compitent to get ya going with smoothness and speed. Handeling is more than adequate with the 17 inch tires.
The buttons for the sunroof and interior lights could have been illuminated, but that is nit picking.
