This vehicle has been great for me as a college student. The look of the car is a definite plus. It is called a Tiburon because of the "shark" look it takes on when the sunroof is open. The curves of the vehicle make for an elegant look. Not only is it sporty though. The Tiburon also has great gas mileage. I am able to afford driving across the state to visit my family at home. It only takes half a tank to make it the 90 mile trip there and back again. I am a softball player as well so I needed a trunk that would accommodate all my softball gear. The back seats fold down to extend the trunk if I need to fit any hitting nets.

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.

The Hyundai Tiburon I bought was the first car I had bought at a dealer, and I was very impressed with the Hyundai 60,000 Used Vehicle warranty as well as the helpfulness of the service department at Hyundai. It was a beautiful looking vehicle, and I particularly liked the hatchback. Unlike many people however, I prefer a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. These are the only complaints I have about that car, other than the fact the V6 was not particularly economical on gas. The Tiburon did have a way to shift the automatic transmission manually, but I found it causes me to go overboard and waste gas. I also do not like the understeer of front wheel drive cars, but that is a personal preference.
