The Hyundai Tiburon is undeniably cute and sporty, but that alone isn’t enough to base your purchase decision on. Second generation Hyundai Tiburon models were only made from 1997 to 2008, so unfortunately you won’t be able to purchase a brand new model. While Hyundai has not manufactured the vehicle for six years, you can likely find a lightly used model by conducting some research. If you’re willing to travel a bit or have a used model from a distance shipped to you, you’ll increase your chance of finding a great deal. If you’re looking for speed, the V6 model offers impressive pulling power. Drivers have praised the five-speed manual transmission model for its ease of use and handling well in tough situations. However, the tight suspension can make it a bumpy ride.

I had the 2001 Hyundai Tiburon for about seven years. It wasn't a super car, but it did its job well. I like smaller cars with good handling and enough power to get out of danger quickly. The Tiburon did well with these. Maintenance wasn't a big concern. It hardly ate oil and the only problem I had was that the struts needed to be replaced.

This car has got me through several years already. For a cheap buy, it has performed well. It's good on gas and still has more than enough acceleration to perform well in aggressive traffic. Not the best winter vehicle I've owned, but with snow tires, it works fine enough. Nice looks, it may not be high end, but it definitely looks more luxurious than the price tag actually was.
