Tiburon
I keep seeing these! At first, I was like, "dude that's kind of an ugly car..." but each time I see one I like it a little bit better.
I just saw a pic of an 03, it looks totally different. I think it was like 170 hp or something? Anyone know how heavy they are? Sounds like they could whoop on us.

Rep Power: 0 that tiburon is one hell of a car. my neighbor has it in blue with rims. so nice. and the fact that such a small car has a v6 engine is amazing. costs pretty much the same as our cars. I'm thinking of stealing my neighbors! Not a girls car at all. Best car hyundai has come out with. Korean power!!

Rep Power: 0 I almost bought one before I bought the Civic, and again a couple weeks ago. After visiting newtiburon.com, I have chosen not to get it. Hyundai has had several recalls for faulty paint jobs. Reports show they only used 2 coats of paint on the outside of the car. Also from the website, the V6 used in the Tiburon is too weak to withstand a lot of modifications, they tend to break. They also have had many recalls for the factory sunroof being faulty. From information and polls taken at that website, approximately 40% have had their car taken to the shop within 1 year of ownership. Not only that, the majority of people who have had problems with their car say that getting Hyundai to do warranty work is like pulling teeth. All this from newtiburon.com. If you don't believe me, check out the website for awhile and read around. Remember the old adage, if it's too good to be true, it probably is. Don't fall for it.
