2003 Hyundai Tiburon

Pros: Fun to drive, very solidly built

Cons: Paint issues, harsh ride at times

The Bottom Line: Want fun for little cash? Here's your ticket to ride!

Review: This is an updated and revised review of the 2003 GT model with automatic. Everything remains stock except for the wheels and tires (which I upgraded to 17" and Toyos) and a few cosmetic changes.

I don't consider the Tiburon to be a true...

Pros: Great Looks,Enough power out of the gt-v6,Great standard features.

Cons: poor quality sound system,too quiet for a sports car.

The Bottom Line: The Tiburon is a steal for a cheap fast and furious car.

Review: First, I would like to say, that anyone not wanting to buy a Hyundai for reliability reasons, should reconsider.Ever since the early 90s, to present Hyundai has completly changed on the spectrum of reliability. In the 80s, you couldn't give a...

Pros: price, style, quality, fun, attention getter, roomy front, stereo system

Cons: eventual hatch noise, small backseat

The Bottom Line: If you don't want to spend $50,000 for a quality, luxury sports car, get the Tiburon!

Review: I bought my 2003 Hyundai Tiburon brand new in 2002. I previously owned the 2001, and as soon as I saw the new body style, I was drooling and knew I was going to get my hands on the 2003 as soon as I could.

The 2003's looks are...

Pros: Gorgeous, fun to drive, lots of features for a good price, impressed with the quality

Cons: Cramped, useless back seat :)

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for an attractive, economical, sporty car, try this one. For us, it was love at first sight :).

Review: I really love this car! We leased the silver one, automatic, with a sunroof. We almost leased the dark blue one (beautiful), but it would have been harder to keep clean.

It took some time getting used to how low the body of the car is...

Pros: Incredible handling. Little engine loves to wind up.

Cons: Very poor quality Bad service

Review: Our 2003 tiburon is literally falling apart. Not driven hard, and yet the door handle came off in my dad's hand. See http://www.tomvale.com/hyundai.htm for a full list of the problems we've had, and how much was NOT covered by Hyundai.

...

Pros: looks nice, peppy, handles well there is nothing else that is good.

Cons: things-which-broke: key, window motor and track, clutch hydraulic, passenger side auto-lock, blade_motor_and_gears, sun roof.

The Bottom Line: Horrible NEVER BUY ONE OF THESE OR ANY OTHER HYUNDAI, horrible workman ship and quality/reliablity and horrible service.

Review: I have owned mine since new, let me give you a list of what has broke:

year 1:

rear windshield wiper (gear teeth stripped and motor blew.
clutch hydraulic broke (don't know how) and neither did the service techs. this also...

Pros: Head-turning looks, excellent build quality inside and out. Killer sound system. Tremendous value.

Cons: Overall performance only adequate. Uncomfortable back seat.

The Bottom Line: Hyundai has a winner here. It's a knock-out, with high quality and value to boot. It's a lazier performer than some competitors, but still a great touring coupe.

Review: These days, almost every Hyundai review starts with a small blurb on how bad Hyundai cars used to be, and "now look at how far they have come". Although Hyundai's sales have improved dramatically over the years because of this quantum leap in...

Pros: style, comfortable seats, handling, acceleration

Cons: electrical problems, gas usage, poorly designed sunroof

The Bottom Line: I would buy this car because of its dependability and excellent hyundai warranty.

Review: I bought the 2003 Tiburon in 2003 (GT V6 2.7L auto), and have had it for almost 3 years. The car has done very well for me, never having any type of problem with the engine, transmission, or exhaust. Because of this, I am very thankful although all...

Pros: Awesome Infinity system, very comfortable ride, head-turning styling.

Cons: Blind spot, Michelin tires will wear FAST.

The Bottom Line: Would happily purchase again.

Review: As a previous owner of a 1998 Turbo AWD Eagle Talon, I wanted to find something somewhat comparable when that vehicle started to show some age. I had a few friends who owned Hyundai's and I must admit the warranty played a MAJOR part in the overall...

Pros: Real head turner, good power, good handling, fair price.

Cons: Excessive road noise, cabin noise, fuel consumption.

The Bottom Line: I havent owned it long, but it seems to be well made, and fun to drive. The owner before had it serviced several times (I carfaxed) so hope its fixed.

Review: I finally put my 89 Lincoln Mark 7 on the chopping block and bought an 03 Tiburon Tuscani. Comparing the two would be unfair so I'll try not too. I researched Tibs for a month and looked at several before I bought one. I have to admit, the warranty...
