2001 Hyundai Tiburon User Reviews

Tiburon Se — Like: great handling, takes corners very well, it's pretty quick off the line, but the brakes need a little work. It's needed so many repairs so far, it's rediculous, I've already put about $2500 into it. The interiour is a little messy, due to my bad cleaning habits, but otherwise in pretty good condition. The exterior was just painted (silver), but still needs work done to the driver side quarter panel. The gas mileage isn't that great right now because I need to replace the O2 sensor. The maintenance on the car is otherwise relatively cheap. This is a pretty fun car to drive overall though. I figured might as well get the whole "sports car" thing out of me now, that way I can move on to something a little more "fun". I would definitely recommend the Tiburon to my friends, it's not like any other Hyundai model, it doesn't break unless you've treated it like garbage (like the previous owner of my car did).

?? — its ok. not the greateset. great handeling not too slow for an n/a car with a view mods. alot of work can still be done to make it a pretty fast car. just too expensive cuase lack of available parts for it. HIDs set my car off lol . dfs

My Best Car To This Day. — When I was car hunting last summer, everyone I know said stay away from Korean cars, but when I said "Well what about the Tiburon?" Dad told me I can do what I want, but just don't complain, because I'll have it for three years. The car itself is a great car, considering it's a Hyundai. The car was more or less in decent condition when I bought it. The most expensive part to fix on it so far was the steering rack which was rotted out. The interior is black upholstery and leather (or probably pleather) dash and roof. I have the SE model, which has power steering, locks, windows, and moonroof. The main cluster and middle console looks very futuristic, but most of it is functional. The exterior is in a lesser condition than the exterior for the moment, it needs a paint job, body work and I need to replace the foglight switch. For the winter, I've got Michelin X-Ice tires on her. In the summer, I'll be putting the stock rims back on with the Falken summer tires (don't know which tires they are). She handles pretty well due to the lower height of the car (I recently gotten rid of a Dodge Spirit), performance-wise: pretty good because it's a sports car, but I don't plan on putting any heavy mods on it for insurance reasons. My overall impression of the Tib is that it's a great car, and I would definately recommend it to other drivers. But expect to put some money into it if you get it at a private seller.

Good First Car. — Its my first car and I like it because it is a manual tranny and suprises me everytime i drive her. It is lacking in the horsepower department, and I don't want to put the money into her to make her more fun.

Gorgeous 2001 Hyundai Tiburon. Five Speed Maunal, Great Gas Mileage. Cheap To Keep. — It gets pretty amazing gas mileage. Its a five-speed manual. I think its kind of gutless though. The inside is clean and the seats look like racing seats, according to Patrick. I just flushed the radiator today, other than that I've just had to keep up the regular maintenance. I love this car, it is amazing. It's a gorgeous car and it is extremely fun to drive.
