Used 2001 Hyundai Tiburon for Sale near Charlotte, NC

this was my favorite car, because it was sporty and it was the first car i had a car payment on. it never gave me any problems and it was an awesome car. it was very small and compact but it had enough room to fit things because it was a hatchback.

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

I Absolutely love my Hyundai tiburon it was built as a show car and has been entered into many shows and competitions, she has won a few awards and still 3 yrs later are continuing to modify her in more ways than one....
