1997 Hyundai Tiburon FX review from South Africa

Radiator changed at 160000

Clutch Slave cylinder at 180000.

My FX is 5 speed manual, I changed the tyres and rims size to 205/40/17 nankang sport.

The handling on this car is awesome, sticks around tight corners like glue. When cornering hard , tiburon performs better when the driver exercises the correct gearing ratios . Tiburon gear changing is smoother at higher revs . Just like other high performance cars , these cars perform well at high revs , and the engine quitens down at high revs .

The styling and looks, still turn a lot of heads.People don't see these cars on the road everyday.

The braking system is awesome, with ABS.

The interior is awesome, full leather all around.

Powerband is decent, when you floor down the throttle, you can smoke your tyres

Tiburon is very fast on the open road, that's were you really appreciate this car, at high speeds you can keep up with BMW's and other high performance cars easily.

If you're looking for a good affordable car, this might be the closest you come to a porche, as there were also rumours that porche helped fine tune the suspension on this car.

Ive even test driven the new Tiburon v6 , Hyundai is making some serious waves with their new flagship models .
