2001 Hyundai Tiburon

Summary:

I am extremely happy with my 2001 Tiburon

Faults:

The only thing that has gone wrong with the car is that the paint around my door and the paint around the spoiler is coming off.

General Comments:

Other than the paint coming off I think that this car is excellent. It is sporty, it drives very well, it is pretty quick, and the overall appearance of the whole car is just beautiful.

Just wait until time does its job and you will wish you purchased something other than a Hyundai!

2001 Hyundai Tiburon FX 2.0

Summary:

Great car at a great price!

Faults:

I love my Tiburon. Nothing has gone wrong. It is very dependable, great on gas, and it just looks great.

The dealership I bought it from is worthless. I had them tint my windows when I bought my Tiburon. It left my possession with 33 miles on it in mint condition. The next day when I picked the car up the back seat had a hole in the leather and both rear fenders where scratched. They fixed the seat, but denied they scratched the paint. This was at Gurley Leep Hyundai in Mishawaka Indiana.

General Comments:

The car takes to the road great. Handles like a expensive sports car.

Seats are very comfortable.

The price was great.

2001 Hyundai Tiburon SE 4 cylinder

Summary:

A lot of car for the money!

Faults:

The motor for the sunroof has a "dead-spot" which means that it does not work anymore!

The clasp for the front mats isn't the best.

General Comments:

I enjoy driving the Tib. It's fast and handles very well.

The dealership that I've dealt with is fantastic and I have complete confidence in the car despite other people's nasty comments about owning a Hyundai.

2001 Hyundai Tiburon

Summary:

A real head turner

Faults:

I love this car, I have had no problems.

The speakers sound great, no need to spend money on bigger more expensive speakers.

The leather is great, but it can heat up and be hot if they aren't sat in.

General Comments:

I have the cobalt blue tiburon with all the features. This includes Compact Disc and cassette players, sunroof, and leather interior.

My parents bought this for me as a present for my 16th birthday on April 13, 2001 and I have had no problems out of it yet.

2001 Hyundai Tiburon 16v DOHC

Summary:

Hyundia Consumer Affairs is most unhelpful

Faults:

I have had the Compact Disc player (manufacturer's upgraded model) break twice in the month I have owned the car.

General Comments:

I have been very unhappy with the way customer service has handled situations.

I like the way the car looks.

Could be a great car if not backed by Hyundia.

I had purchased a 1999 Hyundai Tiburon. I have had only one minor problem with the car until now. This is the first year, I have had to pass an emission test. I have had test two times now and the OBD test has failed both times. The dealership will not stand behind there 8 years Emission Warranty. They say that it is not there problem, it is the software on the emission testing equipment. Some of Hyundai cars are passing some are not. I want to know if they were all assembled with the same parts. Why don't they all pass if there is nothing wrong with my car? I have already been pulled over by the police one time for not having my new tag. I am at loss on what to do now.

2001 Hyundai Tiburon 1.7 turbo diesel

Summary:

A car built for the twenty year old!

Faults:

The car's right interior side panel separated from the body and had to be repaired two days after it's purchase. The car is pulling to the right after only three weeks of ownership. Most recently, the right interior door panel changed color when Armor-all was used as a cleaner. The right panel appears to be composed of a different material than the left panel?!? These small problems have eliminated my confidence that the purchase of a new vehicle would reduce my cost and time commitment for repairs.

General Comments:

Despite the bizarre interior malfunctions,

I really like the Tiburon.

The Tiburon's ride is smooth and quiet.

No one can deny the exterior look is eye catching, and a confidence boost.

It is a relief to feel good when parking in a lot, instead of trying to avoid others because your car looks so bad!!

I want to know how much fuel it takes cause I have one and it takes like 10 dollars every 200km. I don't know if it is normal, here in Panama the gas is 1.83 dollars per gallon

Yeah, that's messed up I had mine painted, but I noticed the the right door panel is textured to look like the dash and not smooth, and it does not match the left door panel.
