I should have done my homework...Source: Cars.com...i've had two headlights replaced due to condensation, the clear coat is peeling off my head lights now aswell, i've had two leaks coming from the radiator due to cheap quality clamps. And while yes, you do get a 100,000 mi warranty i'm only at 40,000 miles and they are refusing to cover any of those problems under the warranty. Last time my dealership said they wouldnt fix my sunroof due to having an aftermarket exhauset. good luck with your local dealership. I know that because of the dealership down here i would never buy another hyundai. i do get plenty of compliments on the looks of the... |

Great car for a young attitudeSource: MSN Autos...Stereo system sounds great although the Kenwood unit looks like its an aftermarket install. Son loves that it has the sat radio feature. Handling is crisp enough, transmitting a sporting feel. Fit and finish of panels and paint appear to be above par with other vehicles of this class. This is a 4 cyl, which is surprisingly responsive and easily driven at highway speeds. Cons: Back seat room is close at best. Which may be a good thing since it's being driven by a 16 year old. Driver seat needs more adjustment options. Comfortable enough but not "just right". Overall: A great first car for a... |

Why should I also consider these?
For all but a few drivers, front-wheel-drive coupes represent a car for a particular moment in time.
Editors from TheCarConnection.com don't foresee legions of repeat Tiburon buyers; one can drive an inexpensive front-wheel-drive coupe for only so long before the needs and/or opportunities of life cause a shift in vehicles driven.
Knowing that you'll likely own, at most, one or two cars like the 2008 Hyundai Tiburon in your lifetime, choose wisely.
The Scion tC and Mitsubishi Eclipse are capable coupes, but the Tiburon provides V-6 power for a four-cylinder's price.
As for the Chevrolet Cobalt, unless you're considering the turbocharged Cobalt SS, don't bother--except if you're renting.
Coupes like these are overwhelmingly purchased based on style, so drive what looks good to your eyes.
