  • Sometimes we forget about the great cars from the past; we might remember the Toyota Celica and Mitsubishi Eclipse; this time we have an in-depth tour of the South Korean marvel that allowed Hyundai to be in the mind of the enthusiasts of its time. Today we bring you the Hyundai Tiburon (Coupe), a vehicle that has the looks and feels special. Does it deserve a spot in our heart?
    Let's go for a ride.

    Tiburon is best cheap sporty car for the price. I like 2005-08 Tiburon interior than other Hyundais and it age well. I have 2 of them one turbo and supercharger soon

      Great vehicle for a first car, if you live where there is snow try to stick with the V6 because it had traction and stability control. Manual transmission for the durability. If you need the auto transmission and do not live in a snowy area you can stick to the 4 cylinder for durability.

      @@RealAutoNerd Oh no it's not that I don't like it, I hate it. It's clearly a copy cat of all its competitors and fails to even compete. Its V6 only gives it 176hp to the crank when it's from a Suv. It's clearly underpowered and a 2008 Honda accord V8 puts out more power and can pass it. That says something if this is supposed to be a "sports coupe". The only reason I would consider getting one is to just J swap it but even then it would be cheaper to buy a 3.8 Genesis Coupe and have twice the power and be cheaper. Little to no after market support as well, sure it's not a reason to hate a car. I don't know its handling abilities but hopefully, it's great. Straight speed doesn't matter but I want a car that can get me through a corner as fast as possible, idk I'll have to find someone to race in the mountains but no one here ever buys one since they're pointless when a Honda is cheaper to turbo and build for track
