2007 Hyundai Tiburon

Trim: GS with Sport package
by Helen Noble on 09-26-2020
I LOVE my Tiburon
I bought this car brand new from the dealer. I had always been attracted to the Tiburon because of its body style. It's low and sleek; it could easily be mistaken for something a lot more exotic on a quick glance! My Tiburon has been a very reliable vehicle. Since I bought it the only major thing that I've replaced are the struts. Other than the usual wear and tear parts, such as brakes, this car has been very good to me. The Tiburon is peppy and handles quite well. I've driven it through the mountains a couple of times and I've enjoyed every minute of it! I found the sound system that came with the car to be very good with lots of power. The Tiburon gets great gas mileage too. If they were still being made today I would seriously consider buying another one :-)

2008 Hyundai Tiburon

Always needs repair
It's alright if you're willing to spend a lot regularly on it. Would not suggest as a first car. The interior is pretty well designed, low to the ground type of car. It's generally a smooth ride especially with it's v6 in it.

Good fuel economy and nice looking car for the money
I've had a lot of fun with this car, which I bought used. I had to replace tires and battery right after getting the car but it made sense given the time I bought it at. I've really liked the performance and style of the car for the money.

by Favourite_car on 10-05-2017
This car is 14 years old now
I love my car. It may not be a high end sports car but it looks like one. It's got lots of power and hugs the road like it's stuck to the ground. This car corners like a beast at high speeds. For the longevity factor I give it an 11. It's still going strong and needs very little maintenance considering that I drive it very hard. I love the feel of pushing a car to it's limits. It's very exhilarating.

Love this car
This is an amazing experience to own! Awesome handling & exciting to drive. So much fun in a small sports car.
The 5 speed is smooth and packs more power than you would expect from a 4 cylinder. It is an attention getter for sure, people actually stop to look and comment!

Too bad they don't make it anymore...
The Tiburon is/was a great little sports car which sold at an excellent price. Super handling and lots of fun to drive. 4-wheel disc brakes guarantee quick stops. Very reliable, solid 4-banger.

It's Economical, Sporty and Looks sharp
This styling little vehicle has never let me down. It's very economical, has been well maintained and I've never had a single problem with it.
It has low kilometers and will make a great car for anyone looking for something that looks cool, rides nice but doesn't break the bank!

LOVE MY TIBURON
This Tiburon GS has been a lot of fun !
Peppy when it needs to be , easy to park ..(small car advantage .) a true sprts car feel inside , but with the advantage of it's hatchback and the back seats laying down there's lots of room to tote around what you'd like . As far as appearance ..well I think i's always been a joy to behold ..such.clean lines enhanced by the white colour, and then there's the sunroof ! People often remark about the Clarion radio as well , great sound ...easy to enjoy in this sporty little car . A great driving experience.

Smooth Sporty Ride
The car for a fuel efficient 4 cylinder has a lot of get up and go and is a very fun ride. The car is great looking with its sporty aspects such as its dual exhaust, honeycomb grill and its low to the ground ride really lets you feel the road. Its great on gas and is a great car overall.

Was a lot of fun! Great Car.
Love the car, great value for the money when you have all the options. This was my second Tiburon and I got lots of compliments on the car. Good performance, good options, good interior design. Cheap materials used, but the car is fairly old and cheap so not bad considering.

Fun car to drive, reliability issues
OEM clutch on 6SP GT wore out after < 40000 km; had issues with speed sensors, cold weather seizing up parking brakes / calipers.
Generally fun to drive, good front seats, and while is a 2+2 seating the rear seats do not have much leg room. GT only does ~180HP at peak RPM (~6500), is naturally aspirated with no turbo/super, but the frame is light and it still goes like stink. Lots of aftermarket goodies to improve engine performance, and given age of the series (2003-2007) most cars on road today are past warranty and good for hobbyists to tune up.
Front Driver and Passenger Airbags but no side curtain.

Beautiful body work!
-Very reliable car with little repair needed; for the 4 cylinder auto at least.

-Exterior design is perfect!

-Comfort wise it can be a bit too low on the ground and be very bumpy on uneven roads.

-Performance can be lackluster compared to other sports coupes. But due to its weight feels like its going faster than it really is. handling feels good.

-Fuel Economy not the best, but certainly not the worst; meh.

-Interior design: depends on the model. gs is basic, gt better, se the best.

Fun Car
This was my first car and still is. I have done a couple upgrades on it as it is the 4 cyl. It is a nice first sporty car for someone looking for that kick without paying more than 10 grand for it. The only issue I have had with the car is the power steering pump went on it. I have an aftermarket cold air intake on it and it can keep up with the vw gti. It is a good car for the money as long as you keep up the maintance but that is with any car.
Tiburon owns the girly celica!

Hot, FUN sporty car
I bought this car after driving a '93 Dodge Shadow, so of course I love it. I got it new from the dealership and it still has some warranty on it, but I haven't had any serious issues. It is really easy and fun to drive with a great factory Clarion deck that's great for blasting music. I love the way it looks and I love having a sunroof too. I find it to be very good on gas, and definitely is overall a good, reliable yet gorgeous and fun vehicle. Surprisingly spacious considering the size and with winter tires, easy to drive in the winter as well!
