Used 2008 Hyundai Tiburon for Sale near Appleton, WI
The winding roads of Marin County may be the inspiration for this affordable sports coupe, and the 2008 Hyundai Tiburon does handle curves easily and with good road grip. Though a coupe, it seats four relatively comfortably. After some exterior redesigns last year to its front and rear fascias and dual exhaust tips, the Tiburon remains virtually unchanged for 2008. New this year is a satellite radio option, with a free three-month trial.
The front-wheel-drive 2008 Tiburon comes in three increasingly sporty trims. The base GS is the only one with the underpowered 2.0-liter, 138-hp inline four and 16-inch wheels. The GT, GT Limited, and sport-tuned SE get going with a 3.7-liter DOHC V6 that delivers 172 hp, and all three use larger 17-inch tires. A 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual are the transmission choices on all trims but the SE, which comes only with a 6-speed manual. ABS brakes, dual front-side airbags, a CD/MP3 player, and full power features are standard across the line. Although all feature a rear spoiler, the size and location differs with each model. The GT adds cruise control, while the GT Limited offers leather seats and a sunroof.
The SE features a European sport suspension along with bigger brakes, sport seats with leather bolsters, aluminum pedals, and both stability and traction control. Unlike many sport coupes, the trunk is actually fairly spacious, holding up to 15 cubic feet, and the rear seats split-fold. The previous year's updates have turned the 2008 Tiburon into a sleeker, sexier coupe, with more chrome trim and steeper angles for the front and rear windows. Though it's not quite a power competitor to the Mitsubishi Eclipse, owners still find it fun and responsive to drive. And its long list of standard features, typical Hyundai warranty, and sticker price make it a viable option. Major complaints point out the low-powered inline-four engine and excessive road noise with the SE.
4.7 Overall rating
(43 reviews)There isn't much that I don't like about this car. Its so fun drive and handles beautifully. It's a beautiful looking car that is low maintenance. Gets decent gas milage (about 20MPG) I love it and would love to keep it, but I need something bigger now. Will be so sad to see her go.
Hyundai's come a long way. I was looking for a stylish, sporty car with a peppy engine with reasonable gas mileage & found it @ Hyundai. I went with the 4 cylinder turbo & it has just the right amount of zip. The sleek styling turns heads & I've been asked several times who the manufacturer of my car is. I love my Tiburon! It's an absolute joy to drive.
I bought mine used with 14K on it and have since doubled that. Road trips AL-AZ & AL-AR and back. Averaged almost 30mpg setting the cruise ctl-highest was 35mpg pushing most states speed limits. (West Texas is 80mpg-they told me to slow down); even while running the AC. The front wheel drive sticks to the road as we drove through Memphis during their extreme rain. No you would not want to drive through a foot of water for a very long time but the occasional pools the car stuck to the road and "swam" through thanks to the sticky FWD and the car's ability to throw away the water from the fenders. Does the name mean "shark" in some language? The 6-spd manual does take some getting used to and the true transfer of power to the road does not really appear in feel and output to the speedometer until you hit about 3500 rpm. No you will probably not win a race off the light at first but once you get this car rolling and up to "speed" I think it would run forever. Outside of gas/oil changes I have put nothing into the car-except paying for XM radio. Overall a generally fun to car to drive on the road either or to work. Want more save up and buy a new Audi/Lambo provided you can afford the insurance.
Awesome little tuner car for a great low price. What it lacks in power, it definatly makes up for in appearnce.
Overall, the car is fun to drive, handles well, has good fuel economy, sounds great, and looks great. Its a great car to just cruise in and all around enjoy. the seats are comfortable and the car has almost no hard plastic surfaces, most are soft touch. The sound system is quite clear and produces high quality sounds. The car is small and you really feel like you are in control of your driving experience.
