2000 Hyundai Tiburon from North America - Comments

Within the first 20000 miles, both headlights blew out 2-3 times. They finally replaced the faulty part that was causing the blowouts, and I've had no problems since.

There was a recall to change the seat belt guides. They used to get very twisted until the recall, but I've had no problems with them since.

Spark plug wires had to be replaced under warranty at about 53000 miles. They were "melted".

I am only 5'5" tall and this car fits me perfectly. My boyfriend, however, is 6'1" and it's a little uncomfortable for him.

This is a quick car! I highly recommend the manual transmission for the fun of it. I really enjoy driving this car around town. I have the yellow color which gets me a lot of looks from other drivers.

The manual trans also saves wear and tear on the brakes. I had them checked at 35000 miles and the technician said they looked brand new - quite a feat considering that I drive 50 miles round trip to work in sometimes very heavy traffic.

The car is also fairly good in the snow, as long as you have good tires.

I have had no engine or transmission problems of any kind and only recently had the transmission flushed (preventative maintenance). Timing belt is next at 60000 miles (recommended maintenance).

Wow, I thought I was the only 2000 Tiburon owner that had the headlamp problem. Both headlamps on my Tiburon blew at about 8000 miles, the first time. The head lamps tend to blow every 8000 to 10000 miles. The warranty covers it, but I was interested to know what part was replaced that solved the problem?

Other than that I love the 2000 Tiburon.

I have the same problem. what part needs to be replaced? my email is nacoo1@hotmail.com.

It appears to be the type of bulb. My wife has a tiburon and I have a BMW 325 that both use the same H7 style bulb for the low beams. They both seem to burn out with regularity, in fact there was a period of time in which I was replacing a bulb a month in one car or the other. I have purchased a few pairs of cheap HID bulbs from the internet ($7 a pair) and have had bulbs last as long over a year.
