1999 Hyundai Tiburon FX review from North America
"A high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No warning bell for headlights has led too many a needed recharges of the battery.
My foot gets caught often underneath the dash while leaving the vehicle (worried it will rip off some day (the dash not my foot) ).
Engine noise when not using premium fuel.
General comments?
I'm very happy with the car. I wish it was a little taller (I'm 6'2). But I can fit in it without any major discomfort. It performs great and handles like a charm. But performance drops a lot around 97 thousand K's. But its recommended you get the timing belt fixed then anyways and alls well.
