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.
