2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 review from North America
"I love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first purchased the car, one of the fog lights was chipped, and the light didn't work. I filled the hole with goop, and replaced the bulb and it has been working so far.
There are a few blemishes in the paint.
General comments?
The engine is reasonably powerful, and the 6-speed transmission has very positive short throws.
The car handles very well, with very little body roll, however, it rides very rough, I don't mind being young, but older people might not like it.
The seats aren't "buckety" enough for me, I wish they had more aggressive bolsters so they would grip my body better.
My car has the Infinity sound system with sub woofer, it sounds very nice, however the car has a few rattles, and if I'm playing loud bassy music, they start to annoy.
I wish my car had a bit more top end power, it has a very impressive midrange, but after about 5500 rpm, torque drops off noticeably.
