2001 Hyundai Tiburon Coupe review from North America
"Worth every cent!!! I love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I ran out of gas, not by my own fault. The low fuel warning light blinked on and within 2 miles my car was on the side of the road. The fuel filter clogged which blew the fuel pump. The dealership had the car for about 3 weeks before the found a faulty connection to the gas gauge. Everything was covered under warranty, and they gave me a rental. I haven't had a single problem with the rest of the car, and I put that baby through heck and back.
General comments?
I love this car! I drive a lot and I have yet to get tired of it. In the last 2 years I've packed on 60000 miles and she still purrs.
The seats are low bucket seats that you kind of sink into, which makes me feel like I'm driving a race car, but older people don't quite appreciate it.
I like my car to look good. The Tiburon does with little effort. After 2 years, paint is still gleaming! Leather is still slick as ever! Carpets aren't ground in. I do baby my car (no Armor-All, only Meguiar's) but she (Tiburon) holds he rown!
