2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 review from North America

Car is on its 3rd clutch before 30k miles. 2cd clutch not covered under warranty. Put a non-factory high performance clutch & flywheel in the third time.

Battery died at less than 2 years old, had to replace it. Never left the lights on overnight.

Starter had to be replaced before it is 3 years old. Not covered under warranty. dealership blamed it on the non-factory flywheel.

Windows sometimes don't work or get stuck. Was covered by warranty, but is a pain.

Had to take it in for at least 5 recalls, is a pain to do when you have a full time job.

I have always taken care of this car. I keep the inside clean, and get it oil changes and maintenance when it is needed. I have never had anything, but problems with this vehicles clutch and flywheel assembly. When I had to put my third clutch at less than 30k miles, I swore I would never put another factory part in this car. The quote alone was 1600 dollars. I told them no way! I had a racing clutch and flywheel put in for 600 dollars less. I do not race this car, I drive it casually. It does not have the performance of a real sports car, but it looks good and drives well (when it works). The windows have occassionally not worked. I still like the look of the car, I just think bad engineering went into the clutch and flywheel. They cost so much for such a poor part. The car itself did not cost much to own, just a lot to maintain. I am getting rid of this as soon as I can. I have so far told dissuaded least 30 people from buying a hyundai car, and I will continue to tell people never to buy from this company ever!
