2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 review from North America
"I really enjoy it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing mechanical has gone wrong with my Tiburon.
General comments?
This vehicle is quite peppy, especially with intake, headers and cat back exhaust
The gauges are a little hard to read, they are dark and recessed, although turning on the gauge lights helps.
There is a bit of rattling when I play music with a lot of bass.
The suspension is very stiff, so the ride is not very good, however it corners awesomely, with very little body roll.
Gas mileage is pretty good for a V6 that spins 3300 at 75 mph, I get about 29-30 mpg with my modifications, when it was stock it got about 27 mpg.
