Used 2001 Hyundai Tiburon FWD for Sale near Lexington, NC

Overall, its a good-looking car. I think the bulbous hood is a bit much and wish they had toned it down a little, but other than that it looks pretty good for a Hyundia. The handling is easy and predictable, while it won't slam you against the doors in a turn, it is easy to find the limit. When the limit is hit, traction loss is smooth and maintainable - with a little late-braking in a corner you can even get the tail to come loose. Power is a bit short, especially in the automatic. There is a good amount of torque early on, though, which makes city driving a bit easier. The powerband is broad and smooth and it has doesn't drop off until just before the 6500 RPM red-line - which makes highway passing easy. With a curb weight of 2500 lbs, the car feels nimble and light... If only it had 30-40 more horse-power, it could have competed with the Integra Type-R and the Celica GT-S.

I love how this engine is easy to turbo and do custom work on. Very spacious engine compartment, metric everything. Bearings are the only part on these cars that seem to go very quickly. Aside from tires maybe :p. The downside is the ECU can only be piggy-backed. No worthwhile ecu mods.

I never thought highly of Hyundai and never liked the looks of the 2nd gen tibby till i got to test drive one. The handling,braking and acceleration in the car is pretty good and the top end is decent. The look of the car stuck me as weird and kinda ugly but I have come to like it and get over the annoying bulges in the hood

We both love this car... It comes with power everything including a sunroof which we use all the time. It is amazing on gas which is awsome since gas is up to $1.20 CDN. We love the color cobalt blue. The interior is amazing and very clean the only thing this car doesn't have is leather seats which we dont really want anyway since it is 10 months of winter here.

always loved the first 10 miles driving the car , the bucket seats held you in place as i hugged turns , the thick steering wheel made you feel like you had all of the control of the car at all times. stiff suspension gave it that go cart like drive. which leads to , you dont want to pick up granny or grandpa in the car or take long trips , its a nice small fun car to drive .. i would get another one but probably choose the 6 cyl version for more power.
