Ranking	Details
#1	Awesome Sporty Car Source: Cars.com ..."Our 2006 Tiburon has been a great car. The money we paid for a sports car look has been well worth it. People think it's a sports car, but it isn't classified as such with the insurance company. It gets up and goes and handles great. It is classy inside and out."...
#2	Tiburon Is Overrated Source: Cars.com ...Exterior styling is bold, yet elegant. Interior Design is nice, featuring easy to find controls. Features such as the sunroof and stock subwoofer are nice to have as well. It's a little overpriced if you ask me, but for all I know, I may have bad mechanics at the shop. Reliability has been great thus far until recently my battery caught fire while trying to jump start it. I replaced the battery, it worked fine. Now it is back to not starting. Hyundai should have made under the hood easier to work on, instead of covering everything up so that you are forced to take it to a shop. The 2003...
#3	The Best Car I've Owned Source: Cars.com ..."Thinking 'i dont want to buy this car because its 'Hyundai' if i buy hyundai, it isnt much great to brag about it'??????If u think u live your life for other people around u, u should just buy used BMW than Hyundai Tiburon. But if u are a smart enough person to know how great and valuable this car compared to its price, u will definitely buy this car. This car is better than its competent acura RSX as well as Mitsubishi Eclipse on everything u desire,,,, except the reputation of the company."...
#4	I'm 25 and just baught my first sports car. Source: MSN Autos ...It could have used some cup holders in the back but Toyota spoiled me with that. All in all, i really have no complaints............nope. i like it vary much...you know what? the seats hurt my back. or did before i found the lumbar support. even then. after sitting in it for a while. it starts to hurt Overall: If you are looking for a nice cheap (not quality but in price) not common, head turning, good looking entry level sports car. get the Tibby. they have plenty of speed, decent breaking power and excellent handling. it may not have all the BHP some of the others have. but Hyundai...
#5	Worst SUV I have ever owned Source: Cars.com ..."In 2007 this Tucson 2006 MdL top of line I own has left me on the side of the road SEVEN times??It has had new batteries and other electrical problems have been "fixed" NOT !! The check engine light comes on all the time and the dealer says they dont know what is causing it. The tires it came with wore out at 13,000 miles and I got nothing from Hyundai or B.F.Goodrich.The car would not pass inspection w/o new tires. It has no power and gets lousy gas mileage. Must be the worst one they made. I am trying to dump it at this time."...
#6	Great Vehicle Source: Cars.com ..."The Tiburon GT is a great vehicle. This is my second Hyundai, my first was the 1995 Elantra. The Tiburon has a sporty look that definitely turns heads. The gas milage is outstanding, I recently took a road trip and averaged about 33 mpg. The get up and go from the six cylinder is awsome. Some things to watch out for - there are some blind spots be very careful switching lanes and I do miss having a back seat that can actually be used, however, cargo space is not a problem - I can do a major grocery shopping and not have to worry about space. Hyundai has a winner!"...
#7	"Impressive All Around!" Source: Cars.com ..."A lot of style and surprising power from the Tiburon. I purchased the 5-speed GT brand new and have enjoyed driving it. The metal finish around the gauges and the red stitching and inserts over the leather really stand out. The standard shift is very smooth and the engine is almost too quiet. The gas mileage is decent (about 19 mpg), but a huge improvement over my hot-rod! The dealership in NPR was a PLEASURE to work with!"...
#8	Tiburon is magnificen wheels and value for money ! Source: Cars.com ..."I bought my silver V6 with full-house and absolutely love it! I contantly receive positive comments and questions about the Tib. A pleasure to drive and would recommend to anyone. Get one~!"...
#9	Sporty value Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: Great value. Fun to drive. It's no speed demon, but plenty quick (V6) Cons: Nothing so far Overall: Highly recommended sporty looking car on a budget...
#10	I really like it! Source: Edmunds ...Since the first time I saw a Tiburon, I wanted one. Finally, in 2009, I purchased one. It was the first sporty car I'd ever owned and I loved the low slung design. Unfortunately, after I drove it for a few months, I started to have trouble getting out of the door. Back problems soon followed. So I gave the car to my husband who loves it. I think I would have had the same back problems no matter what low-to-the ground car I had driven; it has nothing really to do with the Tiburon. When it reached 58,000 miles it suddenly stopped dead on the street. Fortunately, we were...
