Tiburon gt v6

I current own this car it runs great I bought it it was sitting for 4 years and it started right up with a good battery I've had to replace a few things but I put a tune up and it rides like a dream the gas mileage is great if you do the speed limit but I've had fun with it it is very reliable when you get everything done right I give a solid 8/10

Most fun and reliable car I have owned yet.

Beautiful, similar to a Porsche in design, fast, great handling, good on gas, very comfortable, a true sports car for the normal working man. The blue HID lights pair great with the exterior color of the car.

Economical, fast, & fun.

Nice stereo. We drove it from California to Missouri so its in excellent driving condition. The engine is a V6 so it got power. We have maintained the car well since we have had it. Some minor cosmetic issues but beside that no issues.

Electrical issues like crazy.

There are known issues the Hyundai won't fix like the turn signals coming on and staying on even if the car is turned off. It is a bad turn signal relay; a .20 cent part, but they wont fix it. The a/c stops working, the speedometer stops working, the windows stop working. The electrical in this car is a joke.

Think of this car when youre ready to buy!

This car is so much fun. I purchased the 04 v6 GT. The car is 14 years old and so far I have only replaced a rubber fuel hose since buying it a year ago! First off these cars look stunning and were designed with the thought of the Ferrari 456gt and corners great for a fwd car. The v6 is reliable but slightly underpowered as it is just a 2.5L bored out to 2.7L. However if speed is what you want these v6s take kindly to nitrous and superchargers. If you plan going turbo, get the 4 cylinder! It is worth noting that unless you are 4'11, the rear seats are worthless! I took them out and made a custom carpet trunk and it really frees up room in the rear. Just keep it well maintained (Belts, oil changes, tires) and it wont let you down! Just make sure you find one in good condition as many 1st owners did not take care of these cars!

Problems but fun

This car was, and still is, fun to drive, but it has its problems. But this is my experience, there are better ones than the one I currently have.

Fun comfortable car!

Smooth ride. Engine purrs! I boughtused from the same dealer that sold it to me. I paid too much unfortunately. I paid $5000 when car is only worth $2000 but it only had 53k miles on it which I thought would last me a while with the car. It is a fun car to drive and comfortable. I would recommend this car.

Great Car

I thought I was taking a risk when I first bought my Tiburon but I was dead wrong. It was great on gas mileage, handling was solid, and it looked great! It was my first car and I never had a problem with it! The backseat was a little small so I couldn't drive more than 1 other friend but besides that it was a car that I would recommend to anyone!
