Fun fact: the red car in the cover is mine.
Had it for ten years, still modifying it 8)
Cool do you recomend get one as my first car I'm 16
AlvaroU I have one that’s in need of fixing but still runs pretty good, it’s fast and buying parts for it isn’t much of an issue so it’s pretty good for a first time car owners and I’m 18 if it helps

10k?!? Buggin. I picked up mine for 3k w 100k miles and it treated me great. Most reliable car I’ve owned, never gave me a issue. And no, their is almost no aftermarket parts for these things. Same w the genesis
The Genesis doesn't have after market support? Of course it does,u must not know what your talking about
Tiburon used to have lots of aftermarket parts when NGM was in business. They still have all NA parts - headers, exhaust, cams ....
They only thing they lost is fully built engines to push 500whp and variety of SC and turbo kits.
I got mine with 58k miles for 1600 lol
Adrian Devora I said almost. And only really ment nowadays. Of course those cars have aftermarket support, but not nearly the amount of other cars unfortunately
Lol ye im about to buy one with 130k, 6spd and totally mint for $1200
This video just let me talk my dad into getting one, I appreciate it man
I have had my Tiburon V6 for 17 years. I have had no problems at all in 17 years. The only repairs I have done is a rusted water pipe, new clutch, new radiator, 2 light bulbs and general service items and its still going strong 250 000 km later. Still has original shocks in good condition!!! Amazing reliability and value for money
what would you say was the monthly repair costs?
@@reedy9427 Depending on how much you drive it, oil changes are gonna be the only monthly expense. Brakes every 6 months or so. Clutch also depends on your driving. But for the most part you'll get a lot of km without any major repairs. Hyundai is extremely reliable. Even my 2010 hyundai elantra has got me 460,000km and I've only done oil changes and brakes.
Well I'm sitting on 218k miles on my 06 Tiburon SE and my clutch is just now starting to go. Only major work has been a timing belt at 160k. Slightly modified and still a daily. Got it for $5k 10 years ago with 70k miles and have been all over the country in it now the only thing I hate is the cost to replace the seats because they are starting to rip totally my fault and I love the way the factory seats feel on long drives
You forgot that the suspension was designed with Porsche ;)
That is misinformation. Porsche only helped with the suspension on the RD Hyundai Coupe. Not the Tiburon. Don't get me wrong, they still handle beautifully.
Just got a Hyundai tiburon 06 gt v6 and I got to say I’m loving it more and more everyday. They said this car is like a gem and it really is 🔥
I'm an original owner of a 2005 Tiburon GT. Still have it 13 years and 123,000 miles later. Ark N2 exhaust, hot shot headers, and an Alpine supercharger. There's no reason to get rid of it.
I got mine in 2016 and I have 128k miles on it and I love my car man lol
Hey I'm a new tibby owner, same year gt v6 too. But I'm a little lost, to be honest I'm a 17 year old with a 2jz dream lol. But I love my Tiburon and want to start modifying it. It's a little late in it's life cycle at 120k miles on it. But it was owned by my grandpa before me so it's mainly highway and old man miles lol. I just did the timing belts, clutch, fly wheel all that jazz for around 2000$. But now I want to start modifying it. I don't want to turbo this thing or anything, it's a little late for that but. What would you recommend starting with? This question goes for anyone that views this lol
@@Connor-wf2zn join tiburon racing league on fb
Props.
@@Connor-wf2zn I'm 17 too and modified my tib
This car is great. The stock standard exhausts sound amazing and it drives like a beast
Much respect for this video!!! I hve an '06 GT and this car has been a head turner even being over 10yrs old. My paint is still clean and shines bright after a wash and wax. The engine is still strong and quiet. I hve 2 honk my horn smetimes, actually alot, becus pple walking in the way cant hear the car behind them at low rpms. My only problem is my headlights need 2be restored or replaced, but the high quality Led bulbs I hve in still gives the casing a good look. I wish there were more vids about the Tib like this on youtube.
I got my 2004 V6 Tiburon about three years ago. It only had 50,000 on the clock and I bought it for £900. Hand down the best used car I've ever bought.
Very true but you are taxed into poverty for owning a 2.7l in the UK today.
Woah 900 euros thats like 1300-1500 dollars in American money
That is exactly how I feel about my Coupe. 112k miles on the clock but drove like a new car. Pulled away nicely, quiet at idle, economical on fuel, especially on motorways, and everything in it working and new-ish looking. even on budget tyres the fuel consumption and handling are very good. Not the best I've ever driven, but not too bad at all.
I will definitely be buying another one.
Do you wanna sell this
I still have my 97 tib i bought new when I was 19 and it still runs fine and never did any major repairs
different car this is the GK hes talking about.not that little 4cyl
@@Tommyblueeyes I realize that, I am just stating that my car lasted all these years without problems
Lol those old tiburons are ugly as fuck
Best car I've owned. Bought it for $800 2 years ago. It now has over 400k miles on it still runs like it's new. Recently the transmission has finally started slipping, plugged the code reader in and literally the only code is "Transmission assembly". Damn reliable cars I must say.
This car in NFS:U sounds like it's saying, "Hellooooooooo." At least it did in my childhood.
LMFAO

Just letting everyone know how customizable this car is. I loved it and almost died in it. It was great.
No Name did you tune it? And did you tune it on stock ECU?
I didn't think these motors had enough meat in the cylinder walls to bore it out to a 3.0? Was always told that it was basically already bored out to 2.7 from factory.
It had an issue where the flywheel would break down and cause the clutch to grab. You would have to pump the clutch to get it out of gear. I had the clutch & flywheel replaced with aftermarket parts and it ran great after that. I had this car as a teenager and ran it so hard the exhaust fell off. Were talking redlining it minimum ten times a day for seven years, I would go through 1-2 sets of front tires a year. I still tell people how reliable it was for me.
are most of these parts universal or they made especialy for the tib? I want to supercharge mine but I cant even find an aftermarket intake manifold and bigger throttle body for it.
Damn - have a vin I could follow? Might wanna pick up that car when the owner is ready to sell.
Love these, worked at a Hyundai dealership for 12 years. Owned two of them, and had a large clientele of persons wishing to mod them rAther heavily. Very reliable, withstood insane amounts of abuse. I am going to have to stand with you. Great review.
All the students in my auto class have Honda's, Subaru's and what not. But when i pulled up with my 08 tiburon everyone was in shock XD
Hes right I have almost 200k on mine.. daily driver love it. Had the timming belt done and its feels like new
how much that run you?
Ive had a 03 santa fe 2.7 v6 since 06 after many mods and many burnouts later at 277k miles she finally snapped a timing belt. Rip og betsey. she will return to the streets soon
Lmfao I have one 2003 gt v6 .. my dad gave it to me . I wasn’t going to keep it but now , I plan on keeping it and adding paint seats ect.. love it
I just bought one it's awesome
I got one all black in 2008 first car. Was the best, longest lasting car i owned. I miss it lol
I've have 2. Both 2004's, automatic 4 speed and now a 6 speed manual. My first Tibby, the automatic eventually died out. I bought it in 2014 and it lasted until last year. Engine ceased. 😭😭 My son is rebuilding it for himself. In Feb. I got the manual and aside from needing maintenance that was not done by previous owner, it's a gem. I love the pick up and 'G's' when hitting the gas and rapid shifting. It goes! This car as well as the auto will be with us forever if I have a say. I'm even looking for another to buy next year for my youngest son... Or maybe myself.
I absolutely LOVE TIBURONS!
Next car on my to get list will be a Genesis RS someday. I like the TLC needing, no longer produced type cars.
I'm sad Hyundai is not making either the Tib or Genesis any longer.
Love these cars. I have one already and I'm going to go look at a GT V6 tomorrow :0
I had an 04 GT…I miss that car so much…she hugged those turns like nothing else…
Nobody cross shops a tiburon with a wrx sorry to say good car but really dude it’s direct competitor is the same gen eclipse
Agreed eclipse and Celica are the 2 immediate competitors that come to mind for the tib
Also the 99-02 Cougar as well very similar to this car in performance except its lighter and has a 5 speed instead of 6.
The comparison was regarding interior, not the hp
And the eclipse has 100 more horsepower.
False🤣 I’m currently looking at both
I owned one. Its a damn good car. I drove it new and drove it to 230 thousand miles on 1 timing belt. If i changed it. I would still have. Surprised on its reliability and structure
‘03 Tiburon Gt in rally red was my first brand new sports car. After that I didn’t get another sports car till 2016 came around, ordered a 2016 WRX, and now have a ‘22 Mustang GT. I loved all of these cars, but the Tiburon was first and most memorable!
The reliability on the delta 2.7's is actually amazing ive had 2 now one i got at around 200k which had very low maintenance and blew up but after maybe 15k without an oil change lol and my 2nd I've had since 87k miles and all i do is run seafoam through the crank case every oil change and she runs mint its at 160k now and gets railed every single day i expect the motor to last a while
I have 1993 Hyundai S-Coupe, and i had two 1996 and 2002 Hyundai Tiburon. I love them
I own a Hyundai tiburon gt v6 , these are a damn good car. Super fun and reliable. Super underrated. They seem to not hold their value like they should. I get a lot of questions about mine, and People keep asking me if I want to sell it. Deffinately never parting with mine. Hidden gem for sure !
I own 16 year old 2.0 GLS. Nothing leaks, cranks or breaks at all and the engine runs like new, looks and holds great. This car really is a gem, if you look after it.
I recently got an 08 GT w/72k mi, dvd, amp, sub for $3k. It is a lot of fun and looks great!
I just bought my 3rd today (4th in the family) $1200 and it needs a looot of work but these things are very easy to work on.
bought mine for 900 sitting in a backed up drain puddle rusting. 2 grand later and its got wheels, lowered, and a whole new sound system inside
i bought one with some rust any tips for getting rid of it
I bought one of these nine months ago, a 2008 GT for under $3grand. I had not much of an idea what I was doing, buying this car, but I thought I did good and sure enough I did. Loved your video
Whhhat? Where did you buy one that cheap? All the ones in my area are around 5 k
@@112188Francisco In Alamosa, Colorado, where I live, is where I found it.
After looking for a car for couple months, I'd seen this one on the side of the road with a for sale sign that said $2,750. Like I said, knowing nothing about this type of vehicle yet, I loved the way it looked.
I called as the seller was walking in the door from putting in the For Sale sign. I practically bought the car sight unseen, and did well. I absolutely love that vehicle
I had a 2003 Tiburon GT with a5 speed and honestly, it's so underrated. The handling was un-Hyundai and the power was all there (for 175 HP, it was quick) I bought it for 6 grand and it was garage kept, so clean... I miss that car so much. Too bad some snob Iranian kid (no offense to anybody thats Iranian)ended up buying it and crashed it a few weeks later. Reliability was good as long as you took care of it. If I had one thing to say its rust. Rust is the main reason you can't get a good one for cheap. They rust so much kind of like the Celica as most were driven in winter.
So in all before you buy a Tiburon:
-Watch for rust
-Get a GT with a stick for best quality
-Get yourself a mature owned one who almost never drove it in winter, 90% of people drive them t the ground, avoid those ones if you want a car that's gonna last for more than 1 year.
-Prices are decving, likely anything for 3000 and under is a shitbox with problems.
Ι'm 38 years old...married with two daughters....i bought it in 2004 and i still own it......(picture on the left),it's the 2.0 version......there is NOTHING NEGATIVE.....don't listen to shit!!!!!the car is amazing, the torque... the acceleration, the top speed (210km).....i'm very pleased with its performance and of course i'd never sell it no matter much my wife growls..........
@@eddie-g2143 Dude I own the 2.0 and the torque is pathetic. The thing only starts to think about getting out of its own way at 4k rpm
@@tannerhartl5175hey bro.... i forgot to mention that i've made a couple of mods....ECU chipping..... exhaust system replacement......and a pipercross free air flow filter in the stock filterbox!!
I'm wondering since I'm not Iranian do I have a special advantage where I'm pretty much guaranteed to not crash a Tiburon? I can think of a few other motorized transportation devices Americans don't want to see an Iranian driving..New Yorkers especially I would think.
@@justingaston4616 I dont see your point
Had a 2005 SE V6. The car was driven hard every single day for 10 years....200,000 miles when I traded it. Had to put a clutch in it a 180k, a radiator shortly after, and I think a fuel pump around 150k. It was amazingly reliable. I drove mine through college and after and the only thing that wasn’t solid on this car is the clear coat on the plastic pieces. Outside of that, the interior was made well, the seats held up beautifully, the mechanical stuff was almost indestructible, it overheated a few times on the way home when the radiator tubs blew out, but was fine. Favorite car still to this day.
I have Tiburon 2.0 - $3000 i installed Handsfree door lock, alarm, engine fuel pump block when someone trying to stole the car, vibration sensor when someone shake the car, GSM calling when activity is happend, Bluetooth audio reciever, multimedia wifi with OBD2.0 Guages and car Diagnnostic with ELM237, Navigation, GPS tracking and many more!
BlackZero Rs Is maintenance easy for the car and are the after market (including factory) parts affordable as well as common, to replace?
@@tanicwhisper0647 Oh, it's so cheap to maintenance. The parts for my Tiburon are totally classic parts from Hyundai Elantra and some other Hyundai models around 2002 year. Also, some KIA models have the same parts. Don't worry... You can check that by simple go to the parts store and ask for random parts for Hyundai Coupe and you will see.... :-)
I have had 5 Tiburons not a complaint about ANYYYYYYYY of them actually im looking to get another car and cant get my mind of the last one i had hope there was a way i could show it best car for me has everything decent speed looks sport good pipes a good music system and you good to go in my mind them cars are 🔥 Feel in love with them with the classic Need for speed Underground and it has been my favorite car ever since if you looking to save some money on a good looking car that's gonna do everything another car can do but still feel like you on a sport that's gonna give you that satisfaction without spending a lot get yourself a Tiburon
I lived in the US for 3 years, and bought this car when I just arrived there. An 05 with 128k miles for 2700$. Great deal, I never had that much fun driving a car ever. Not to mention it was really good looking, crimson, slightly lowered, full leather seats. I miss this car so much I actually dreamed about it last night (and that how I ended up on your video lol).
Not tbh, I had a ton of engine issues with it, and I probably had to spend 7k$ over three years fixing them. Still my best driving experience to this day.
I have a Hyundai tiburon 2000 It has 140 horsepower stock And it weighs 2600 pounds pretty good I removed The extra tire and the carpets off the car I did a CAt back delete and it has an intake I also use full synthetic oil All I need is headers So with full Boats on these cars are pretty quick The earlier models are lighter then the ones on this video
The only issues I have with the tiburon is it has a timing belt that is a pain to change yourself or expensive to pay someone else to do it and it is a front wheel drive car. I would suggest getting a manual transmission if you can find one. The throttle delay in an automatic is a buzzkill.
I love this car. I got 2004 MT model.
Got an '03 V6 GT for $1600 CAD, as my first real car when I graduated college. All it needed was a cat converter and new brakes. What an absolute blast to drive. Light, powerful, and sexy. Other than a burnt out clutch(my fault) it never did me wrong. I miss that little ripper.
I'm about to buy a 2 liter version, sadly couldn't find a v6 where i live, since they are more rare than a legendary pokemon. Good job youtube for recommending me this video, now i want it even more. :D
Do one on a mazda protge5
Shit car
I owned one before really nice car for reliability not fast tho .
You might as well do the Ford zx2 it's the same chassis with a 2.0 zetec and stiffer suspension. It's pretty much a sports edition of the protege
Great car! It actually is a gem.
Back in 2012 I had 2005 v6.. I moved to Florida and Im looking for another 2005. To make it as a turbo project
Not to make it super fast but fun ....
Also a trick that I learned in Puerto Rico is replace ,not only the hood in carbon fiber but the back door, that thing weight a ton...
The only person I know to translate the name thank u!
Good info ! Just got a 2005 Tiburon for 1,800 $
I kinda want to pick one of these up and turn it into a rally car. Is that crazy?
that would be sick, go for it
Just traded my 2008 tiburon GT in. Had it over 8 years 220k miles on it
in 2019 my friend bought a 2006 GT for $100 dollars, the previous owner let all the coolant leak out and it killed the engine. He bought another one from a scrap yard that was totaled, swapped the engine, basically rebuilt the engine, made the car basically new again, and I bought it for $2000, which honestly is a great price for this coupe
I bought mine off my cousin after he drove it for 12 years. Might not look the greatest anymore but it still runs like a champ.
Do a before you buy an acura rsx-s
The RSX is the best.
My 1995 Hyundai Accent that I bought used in '06 for $300, spray painted it black and red inside, and out and used Honda Accord parts to keep it alive to this day, after being in the middle of a four car pile up, and bouncing it of a freeway divider face first at 60+ mph, and bending the frame, which I straightened myself. Has almost 200k miles on it with over 190# psi in every cylinder, that I still run the left lane with while 1000 watts of digital sound fill my ears and my soul, backed up by bone rattling bass! Is finally starting to give me transmission issues! But for a lousy $100 I can get another one at the Pick-n-Pull and have it swapped out in mere minutes! Okay those minutes add up to hours, but you get what I'm sayin', right?! ;)
Should do a "before you buy" of the 2001-2003 4.0 V8 Oldsmobile Aurora.
I have one but it only has a slapstick auto, it’s fun for my first car tho
Hi guys. I have a 2006 model of this car. Accident free done only 19.000 km with it. GCC specs, red color, mid options range, in stock shape. I bought this car from the dealership and used it for 18 months then I traveled and lived in another country and stored it till today. The car is as good as new. I would sell it for 7,500 USD The car is in Libya and can be exported anywhere.
Had a 2003 GT a few years back, favorite car...until a few days ago when I got the 2008 SE. Hands down my favorite ride of all time lmao
Just got my 04 v6 gt for dirt cheap can’t wait to have fun with it
I got a 2007 gt for $4700 and it only had 68,000 miles on it. I love it. It’s super reliable and fun to drive.
How is the car now? Did it last past 100,000 miles?
Im gonna check one out soon, what should i look at? In terms of mechanical problems?
Lower control arm and MAF Sensor are my top 2 for this car. Check out NewTiburon.com. This forum has has been around since the birth of the 2nd gen.
Have mine since 2006 bought it brand new , Has never given me a problem
Hey, Ya'll, I live in South Korea. I have three of these cars right, now. Except, in Korea, this car is STILL known as Tuscani. The name Tiberon was discontinued in South Korea, in ?2002? And yes, they ARE very reliable....except maybe the radiator.
I got an 07’ Tibby named Randal, these cars get so much criticism for so many reasons it’s finally nice to hear someone uplifting the car lol. Great vid mate
dani perez I just bought an 07 tibby last week. Haven’t taken to naming her yet. But so far I love it. 6 speed manual with a smooth clutch. 😍
I own a 04 GT 6 speed manual. I love the car, but maintenance has been quite high. I have spent several thousand in the last 3 years from regular maintenance and some odd things breaking. Im not sure if I'm the minority here because I personally know several people in my local area with Tiburons who have spent far less than I have on maintenance. My advice, don't buy one with rust, buy the best one you can get. Maintaince will typically be 20-30% more(GT model) than a similar year civic or corolla if you are talking about paying someone to do the work for you. If you just have enough to own an older civic or corolla then don't buy this car. Some maintenance items I did includes: 2000cad for clutch, dealership wanted around 2700cad, timing belt (full kit) about 900cad, dealership quoted well over 1000cad, oil change is 55cad at dealership. That being said, I love the car and its performance is quite good with decent midrange torque. It is also tons of fun to drive, especially because the windshield is rather low and gives a sporty feel when you sit in the car. People seem to like the way the car looks. I usually get multiple stares a day, checking out the car as I'm driving.
10k tf just get the gensis. 10k around here I can buy 6 of these things 😂
Lmao fr
Makes me love my car more then i did already

@@whocares5188 ok . tell me which Celica did you have . what year ?
you need a better microphone. also need a little bit of low-volume background music. also, thank you for making this video.
i would prefer a bit more comparison with appropriate competitors like the eclipse, rsx, integra, tc, celica, etc. Don't forget about timing belts on an interference engine needing a shorter replacement interval, which a lot of owners overlooked, leading to many a blown engine with bent valves and sometimes cracked pistons. There was a class action lawsuit on 02-06 manual transmission tiburons for premature clutch failures due to the friction disc burning out too quickly and slipping too easily. the shifter isn't great and really needs an aftermarket unit. it's a porky car at 3100 lbs for the delta v6 model and 2800 for the beta 2 4cyl model and both models produced less than 200hp. the v6 fared better at 172hp and 181tq than the 4 cyl's 138hp and 130tq.
The car from the factory is not a performance stunner. it just isn't. Where the tiburon shines is how it responds to modding. Designers left a lot on the table with the engines. the v6 had narrow and restrictive intake runners from the factory, but these could be bored out significantly, picking up high rpm gains in the double digits with the v6 and a healthy mid-high single digit gain on the i4. an insulating phenolic spacer would cool intake temps drastically since the intakes were aluminum, pumping another 5 hp into the v6 and about 3hp into the i4. the i4 had great factory cams for turbocharging, and a sturdy closed deck block with similar geometry to the legendary 4g63. the v6 had a short 75mm stroke and a big bore, giving it the potential to rev way up into the 7k range and still make power. Headers gave a double digit gain on the v6 model, and high single digit gains on the i4.
The most impressive feat of the v6 was the fact that if you were to bolt on a roots style supercharger (such as one produced by NGM), it would have easily pushed out 330+whp on stock internals and 10psi from its 2.7L fixed-valve timing mill, While the i4 held much more maximum power. It was common in the korean modification scene to put the 1.8L hyundai beta 1 crank, rods and pistons into the 2.0, lowering compression to 8.8:1 and enabling boost to be pushed well past 20PSI to net some 400hp. The fastest tiburon on record was APEMotor's 2003 4cylinder tiburon making 750hp to the wheels without a reinforced crank nor reinforced block.
The exhaust note is very unique, particularly when NA or supercharged, and in general, the best part of the car is that it is an underdog. nobody expects a tiburon to be good. it looks like a stylish slow-and-show car, but pick the right parts, and it can really catch you off guard. it's one step past a sheep in wolf's clothing. it's a shark disguised as a sheep in wolf's clothing.
My Tib was a 2006 Limited Edition GT and I had mine up to 155 MPH.
I can get an 04 gt spec
Ed. For $1000. It's got sum dings, but is it worth it?
let it be known I got a Mazda 1.5 protege to go over 140 using the port and polish methods and rebuilt engine with a rebuilt clutch from auto zone
Owned a 03 gt 6spd. The only two problems I had with it were bad gas mileage and wheel hopping when launching. Other than those, I had fun with the car without any major problems.
They had a recall on them for the A-Arms they have no drain holes on the bottom and they fill up with water and rust out I know because mine did that I had a 2003 with a 5-speed
A tad late, but i picked up my gt two weeks ago for an absolute steal! It’s an excellent car all around.
This nigga fr just said “a triple black belt in jiu-jitsu” 🤦♂️😂 not talking smack I just found ithilarious lol
The Hyundai Tiburon was replaced by the Veloster not the Genesis
Isaac Jordan no lol
hell nah wtf
He's right lol
Yup
Isaac Jordan yeah they say that but that’s bullshit, the genesis looks like a bigger version of the tiburon
Are the automatic transmissions good or is the Manual trans just the better of the two?
I just have to say the door handles are made out of flimsy plastic that will brake and the bcm which controls the blinkers and other lighting has a faulty relay that is soldered onto the control board directly so it is difficult to replace and it goes bad often making your hazards blink constantly.
rudy torres ur definitely right bout the door handle both of mine broke off a week apart very cheap plastic handles
@@fatdomgomiello720 mine broke too but it only cost seven dollars on amazon to replace so no big deal
Yes door handles suck interior and exterior . Buy a used bcm off eBay or junkyard to fix faulty turn signals cost me 110 . Easy to fix
BEST Car I ever owned ❤
I used one in NFSU2
Great video, buying one today for 3K an 07. Very excited now after this video!
I must say this is by far the worst car I ever owned. Have one from 2003, every couple of months a new problem occured, I never had peace driving this car and I actually paid more for repairs and stuff than for the car itself. It rusts easily, always has electronic problems and the center of the dashboard partly melted (!) from the sun, leaving a gooey, nasty piece of plastic. Would never recommend for someone who isn't a pro in the technical aspects. The only good thing about this car is the engine, which seems to never have lost it's quality over the years.
I still have my 04 Tib GT & I Love it! Dc headers, Injen cold air intake, Ark exhaust & I put some new shoes on her! The car is fast enough for crap roads in New Jersey
i have an 06, and i also live in jersey, plan on doing something similar.
Bradley Richards Fantastic! Tibs are underrated. My 04 is solid. I wish they made more aftermarket parts for them. It’s hard to find turbo & supercharger kits for them. You can pice them together but that can be a pain in the Ass. I wish you all the best with your Mods! Later Bro!
I honestly think this car failed because of marketing. Name is Spanish for shark. But the high end model was called the Tuscany edition. So you had a korean car with a spanish name, that paid homage to italian design. Don't get me wrong, I loved mine and it was gorgeous. But Hyundai had no idea who they were going after with these. As good as they looked and with how that V6 performed, you should've seen them everywhere. But I rarely saw any except mine
I remember my old 1998 Tiburon FX. Wasn't that bad of a car.
my 2012 Genesis 3.8 needs a transmission overhaul and new rear shocks, it’s all gonna cost 6500 so i’m gonna sell it and go to one of these sadly
One time reached 140mph. good times
Glad your alive bro sheesh xD
Same engine as the Sonata v6 dohc 24valve heaps of potential and cheap as to buy
I recently bought a red 2003 Tiburon Tuscani GT and i am in love with this car!! i paid $2000 ad it had only 138000 miles and the only problem i have with it is everyone borrowing it and not wanting to give it back lol!
10k???? I just found one for 2.5k 6 speed and it’s the reason I looked up videos about it lol. I’m doing my research before I buy it
My 2004 Hyundai tiburon gt has 230k miles runs strong
had to do any maintenance? costly?
@@youtuby014 as long as you change your timing belt every 60 to 70k miles and dont forget to change your oil you will be golden ive seen them go over 300k miles
Found one with 45k miles for 8k, pretty good price.
Damn, my '06 GT Limited white/camel only has 60k. Maybe I should sell it.
I own an 05 2.7 GT. My girlfriend is in love with the car, but as a car guy, the only excuse I can give her is the looks. Maintenance is costly and not fun. 170hp is a big let down in a 2 door sports car that weighs over 3000 pounds. It is one of the least reliable cars I have ever driven. It is the dullest driving car I have ever driven. My mustang likes cornering more than this thing. It has virtually no aftermarket outside of ricey cosmetics and cold air intakes. Changing spark plugs should never take more than an hour in any car, but the need to remove the entire intake and throttle body to reach 3 of them is an extreme nuisance. The interior feels extremely cheap. My biggest pro for the car is the factory exhaust notes. It sounds good, if left stock. Great, in fact. But as a driver with vehicle knowledge, you should NOT give this car the thumbs up. It is an overweight economy car, dressed as a 2 door sports car.
Kris Elkins all true, but people will defend it like no tomorrow. 🤷♂️
Ive never been let down by my GT. Nothing but reliable to me. Yours must be broken. And the only thing your mustang corners into is crowds.
Someone is salty. I have an 07 BMW 328xi that corners better than both. I have an 89 MX6 GT pushing 18psi that takes corners better than the Tibby. If you want to talk about reliability, I trust my mustang more than my Tiburon to make it to work, and it has 700,000 miles on the clock. Want to know what my mustang has on the Hyundai? Aftermarket support, accessible parts that don't cost way too much, it is extremely easy to work on, weighs 400 pounds less with double the power, and the insurance is extremely cheap in comparison. It will whip the Tiburon's ass in every scenario. But this isn't about the Mustang. I'm just letting you know that I know what I am talking about, and giving real world examples and explanations. The Tiburon's only appeal is its aesthetics. It flops in performance. The motor is peppy at best, but by no means is it a good motor for literally anything except point A to B driving. Your Tiburon may be reliable for you now. But mine is barely driving at 130,000 miles, and I definitely know how to maintain my vehicles. So come back with a real argument.
@@hellzturkey And you're saying I'm salty? Haha We all have our own preferences, you can keep your mustang. The truth is when I go to car shows Im never looking at the 100 people that brought their mustang. It gets old. I just prefer cars that are seen less often and have flair to them and the tiburon is one of those. I had a camaro before this and a 525i before that. Sure it doesnt corner like my beamer did, and doesnt have the power the camaro did, but I catch way more attention with my Tiburon and have spent way less to purchase and repair it. And I too know how to take care of my vehicles. I'm not sure why yours has been unreliable but if you read the comments and look up reviews on the car, most will agree, this car has been very reliable.
I have an 82 t-top GT with a cammed 302, go ahead and tell me you've seen more than one. They're very hard to find. It seems like the only things you are sticking up for with this car, are looks and cost of repairs. It is a very "cute" car, I'll give you that. In the same way a Celica is cute. Or in the same way an Eclipse is cute. Or the same way a Civic is cute. Even though all of the above cars listed have higher performance at their top trims, and have lower maintenance costs than the Tiburon (and god I hate saying a Celica or Eclipse is better than anything). And nothing, NOTHING on a Tiburon will be cheaper than it will be on a Camaro. Perhaps I did get a bad example of a Tiburon. But I hated the car long before it started breaking. I would rather drive a Miata for attention, at least people would actually think I enjoy driving. The Tiburon was specifically marketed toward young girls, and guys that think having a good looking car is all you need in the car community. But the driving experience, cost of ownership, and overly complicated maintenance of the car puts it in the same category as the Sonata in terms of "driver's car". It is an overweight, overpriced 2 door economy car that doesn't get economy car MPG's. So what is it for? It's for people who don't know about cars.
bro in sweden they go for like 2-3k in good condition some are even really good aswell as usually having soundsystem and such
Before you buy: Lexus SC300/400
Can you do a before you buy 2003-2008 Mazda 6?
I feel so loved, Ive owned an 07 for almost 3 years
HELP: is the 2.7 L one worth it over the 2.0? (560 euro in tax instead of 50)
I was going to buy this but I got a 2013 genesis 2.0t 😻
Jesse Solozano actually 274hp with turbo is a pretty nice set nothing crazy but pretty nice
What are the rims and tires the car has on the thumbnail? It looks really cool
It's such a sweet design and beautiful but the engine is so weak 💔
The only problem the engine has is its an interference engine just change the timing belt every 60k miles and these engine can run over 250k miles no problem with regular maintenance
Weak in power, but not weak as in will break down. It isn't fast but the UK is covered in cameras or gridlocked, so speed is unnecessary
