My cousin bought a Tiburon 3 weeks ago

[AZN GTR]

Before he bought it, I tried convincing him not to buy that car, cuz for $20k, I think there are better cars he could buy, because I had another friend who has an older one, which had problems with the engine at 20k miles.  But he won't listen.  Yesterday, his sunroof stopped working already, I know it's got nothing to do with the engine, but still, 3 WEEKS OLD. So he took it back to the dealer because he's got warranty, so now he rented a car to drive to work for a couple days.

well I knew they were bad but I wouldn't have thought that bad. I guess those extended warranty's they keep talking about come to use.

For 20K he couldve gotten an SE-R Spec V

That's exactly what I told him.

Could have been an isolated incident. &nbsp;like my moms jetta. &nbsp;i was driving it one day and i lowered the window. &nbsp;i heard a grinding sound and then swoopm the window just fell down. &nbsp;the thing was only a month old, but that doesnt mean that vw makes bad cars, &nbsp;it was just a fuck up that got past the assembly line. &nbsp;now if like 300 cars all have the same problem, then yea theyre makeing shitty cars

[MikeFD3S]

which year Tiburon? &nbsp;The '03 Tiburon got excellent ratings all across the board

'03 Tiburon is actually a pretty nice car for a FWD... has a tendency to get this... OVERSTEER. &nbsp;Anyone see the '03 Rally Tiburon on WRC? &nbsp;That thing is stomping on a lot of the big teams

i heard that the tibruon has a great handling skillz, it got a faster time then porsche on the track, according to mototrend...

unless hyundai paid good money to mototrend...

Sounds like you got owned by the infamous window regulator. They like to go out in 15k increments.

i dunnnnnno... they said the same things about Datsun way back when <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

I think Hyundai is on the right track...Daewoo...no....Hyundai yes... If only they would put their AWD system into their consumer cars, they could become really competitive with Honda, Toyota, etc etc

[nrcooled]

Everytime I see the car I'm like damn Hyundai really made a nice ride this time. &nbsp;But then I say to myself "self would you buy a Hyundai....hell NO!" &nbsp;
Nice car, bad rep. &nbsp;It'll grow on me in time but untill then gents I will stick w/ a real ride

[bing]

the new celica got good reviews too, but they are both chick cars...


no guy says "hey nice car"

all girls says "hhmmmmmm what's that???"

[Kreator]

I was considering a tiburon before i bought my car. I was at the car show in december and got to sit in the car and everything. I've never got to drive it, but i think the car looks sweet. But it's still a HYUNDAI!! It's made in korea!! I mean people are more likely to think you are a cheap ass for buying a hyundai than what a nice looking car you got.

Count my family's old Passat in on this whole thing. &nbsp;Not the same problem, but within a 2 year time period the computer chip in the engine fried itself 4 times. &nbsp;Also half of the time the passenger doors would not lock with the auto lock, you had to lock them by hand...let's see, sometimes when you tried to put the windows up, they would automatically roll back down...VW's have hardcore problems...I'm sure there are more that I just can't think of right now.

[Silviaholic]

Toyota Camry, 3rd Gen. &nbsp;Front driver side window, almost ALWAYS a problem. &nbsp;I have to slam on the door panel while holding the button just to get it to go back the hell up....

My brother bought his 2000 Tib new about 2.5 years ago. &nbsp;He got it FULLY LOADED. &nbsp;Leather, sunroof, alloy wheels, sound package, powere everything, alarm, etc.

Since then...the alarm stopped working, the keyless entry stopped working a lil later, and other various plastic cheesey pieces on the dash feel off.

The color has faded nearly 3 shades lighter and misc bulbs blow out ever 3k miles. &nbsp;He has replaced his h7 headlight bulbs at least 6-7 times. &nbsp;His car is a PIECE...thats all I can say about that. &nbsp;I will NEVER...NEVER...NEVER buy one of those "hyundais".

If you get into any type of collision, doesn't the warranty go away?
This means for that 100000miles, let say someone hits you and does minor damage, you can't report it, cuz that would void the warranty and the person can just get away with it.

[jupiterl]

Who cares, that's why they have 10year warranty.

And I think the new &nbsp;Tiburon is a very nice looking car, and the interior is very well designed.

[Tyler Durdan]

I have a buddy with a tib. and he has had zero problems with it. &nbsp;1st gen. with 60k miles, and drives like the day he got it. &nbsp;I think some of the problems with the cars could be driver related....you beat the shit out of a car, you car can become a piece of shit....not starting an argument...just my humble opinion...could be wrong.

I know someone's gonna call me an asshole now.

no - but hundi has to inspect it after its fixed

my dad has a kia - nice, fully loaded, the oly problem in my book is the emblem

he does have a problem with leaking oil - he gets it changed at the dealer and it leaks at the filter or the drain pulg like everytime
does this mean that its a piece of shit?
no, it means the mechanics working at the dealer are morons

i change my own oil and evey time someone in my family gets it done somewhere its a problem - i offer to change everyones oil ut the standard response is that why? i can pay to have it done it will be easier
i offered to wash my moms 3.2tl and she said no she'll go to the car wash - people need to suit themselves

But serious, I do like the new tibs. &nbsp;Still, I wouldn't give up my s-14, but they are nice.

YES... finally i found somebody that doesnt like tiburons... &nbsp;they might get all these good reviews in magazines but didnt you forget about quality? &nbsp;yeah yeah... theyre stupid lifetime warranty shit, &nbsp;i just dont want to go through the hassle taking it to the dealership every 2 weeks. &nbsp;Plus, on the other hand, theyre bitch cars...

[Tuck&Poke]

i think hyundai is making good cars...the problem is that theyre not great cars. &nbsp;if they wanna make any kind of name for themselfs they gotta make like on hella car. &nbsp;(awd turbo tibo anyone) &nbsp;if they made that then maybe they can catch some attention.
