Faults:

I have had 3 transmissions since taking ownership of the car.

Sunroof shade has broken and became stuck.

E.C.M. was fried due to short in the wires; which led to a bad TP sensor, bad alternator, and battery.

10" OEM subwoofer has blown.

Shift-knob button has broken twice.

Catalytic converters have gone bad, and emissions are horrible.

General Comments:

Most of the problems associated with the car are thanks to my handy workmanship and awesome driving skills. The rest of the problems are due to the collision center that repaired my car when it was broken into last spring.

The car has an awesome warranty though!

Faults:

The sunroof opens 2 inches then gets stuck.

The driver's side window's motor blew into tiny pieces a month ago and the passenger side window just did the same thing today.

Paint chips easily.

General Comments:

This car is quick and has great handling around corners.

It is a very comfortable and smooth ride.

Shoulder checking is difficult compared to other cars.

General Comments:

This car is a drivers car. It handles like nothing I have every driven. The tight suspension and Michelin Pilot Sport tires never leave doubt when entering a corner.

Although the interior is nicely appointed with leather, it lacks the needed space for rear passanger's.

Faults:

Only problem I've had with this car is that both the driver and passenger power windows quit working at some point. Fortunately, this was covered under the warranty, and were quickly fixed by the dealer.

General Comments:

I have to admit that this car was a steal. It has great looks, a strong V6 engine, the leather interior kicks butt, and you have to love the 6-speed tranny.

Performance wise it's adequate: You're not going to run with the likes of the true sport cars (ie. Corvette), but you will out run many of the ricer wanna-bes and minivan driving soccer moms you'll encounter on the road.

Interior: The car is quite comfortable for the driver and front passenger. The leather interior is very well put together, and the instruments and radio are easily accessible. However, this car is defin1tely not a family car. You can maybe cram two passengers in the rear seat, but it won't be comfortable for long rides. The hatch is low and they'll probably bang their heads if they are over 5 feet tall.

Trunk Space: There is plenty of room in the hatch for a set of golf clubs, briefcase, or a suitcase or two.

Sound system: Ah, if you are like me, well then you enjoy to experience your music. This car has a very good sound system. It came with the Infinity stereo, speakers, and sub-woofer. I can say I am quite happy with it as it came from the factory. Although at some point I plan on replacing the headunit with a DVD player with monitor.

Exterior: I loved the look of the new Tiburon the moment I saw it. It's quite sporty with its aggressive shape, bulgy fenders, and low stance. I can't complain about the 17" wheels, and large rear spoiler. The only regret I have is not getting a moon roof on this car.

Mileage: I like to ride it hard, and therefore I probably get worse mileage than the average Tiburon owner. But I did not buy this car thinking about saving on gas. However the car gets good gas mileage.

Overall, I'm quite happy with my purchase. It was very reasonably priced, and you can't beat Hyundai's warranty. You also get a heck of a mini sports car for the money.
