1999 Hyundai Tiburon SE review from North America
"Good reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front oxygen sensor damaged and back oxygen sensor reading poorly. Had them replaced for less than 600 dollars. Also had to replace the front catalytic converter (recall), which was still under warranty.
General comments?
Overall I think the 1999 Tiburon is a good car. Lacks power compared to other sports cars, but it is still fast. Manual transmission seems to stick when put in reverse. Engine works well (love hearing that little rev). It is a very reliable car, even tough it needed work on it (every car needs work on it, right?). I love this car and I would definitely buy another Hyundai Tiburon in the future.
