Best car I’ve ever bought

The tiburon is one of the funnest cars to drive. She is light weight and quick, no matter the engine style. She is comfortable for long distance driving and is a great daily driver option. Her sleek style catches your eye as she passes by. If you are thinking of purchasing this car let me be help in encouraging you to do it! You will not be disappointed!!!

The best car ever

This is my 1st Hyundai. my 2008 tiburon is the best car I’ve ever purchased. I am the 2nd owner and bought it at 100k I have put 20k on it and have had no issues. I even went in a damn ditch and had no damage to the outer shell (when I should of) only the suspension and lateral link. 800$ Later running like the 1st day I bought it. I know I will keep her till her last days on the road. She’s super cute and I get compliments all the time and people not knowing what kind of car it is and wanting to chit chat about her. She’s a Sleek sports car with amazing gas mileage. My only con is you have to be gentle with them. The window switches and small things like that can break easy if used roughly. It’s not boils like a 2018 car. Be nice to them!! Also DO NOT DRIVE TIBURONS IN THE SNOW. Coming from experience and getting stuck! I recommend also having an suv if you own a tiburon! When it snows only the Jeep hits the road!!! Other than that I couldn’t be happier! It couldn’t fit me and my life any better!

Sporty

this. It's too bad that they don't make this model any more. I bought the 2008, the last year they were available. It's a sporty hatchback with all the bells and whistles. Comfortable to drive long distances and great on gas. Performance meets all expectations.

My Tiburon

I love my Tiburon since the day I bought it. Runs great to this day n I have not had any major problems with my car. The only issues I've had were 2 flat tires and replace the radiator at the same time due to a road hazard at a railroad crossing. I make sure it has it's regular tune-ups, oil changes, brakes, n motor checks. Other than the dents n scratches from other people hitting my car with their doors or shopping carts my Tiburon still runs like a champ.

2008 Tiburon

good car for the money when buying used. many mods can be done easily and inexpensively but serious performance parts are scarce or non existent anymore as manufacturers have moved on to other platforms. besides it is handicapped with a cheap timing belt that costs almost as much as the car is worth to have it changed if you cant do it yourself and the V6 version is even worse because the brain dead engineers drive the water pump off the timing belt too! so not the best engine to expect to last if you do a ton of engine performance work on it.

Beautiful sporty car!

I love my Tiburon! People see it and wonder WHAT IT IS! It is beautiful! Its back seat does not have enough headroom, so its really only good for 2 people. The dark metallic blue color is excellent! Hyundai should never have discontinued it. They said the Genesis Coupe replaced it, but I only have eyes for the Tiburon!

I love my Tiburon

Mine is a V-6; it's sporty! I can make sharp turns, pull into small spaces in traffic, and get up to speed quickly. I love its "get-up-and-go" - so much fun to drive. My 2008 has been very reliable - no major problems, for 10 years now. For an affordable sports-car, I am sure I'm not missing much that more expensive vehicles would offer - other than the expense! I love the red leather interior in my model.

Love the tibby

This has been truly an amazing car. I bought my car new and have had it for 11 years without any truly serious breakdowns or maintenance. It handles great and I have lived all over the US and have made many road trips and even raced my little tibby. I will keep this car till it dies!

Pretty plastic

Car looks pretty sharp but there’s not much in the way of power at all. But it’s started up every time, which is a big plus. Big negative: everything plastic on it breaks or flexes and creaks. Both fort handles broke, console separated, gas cap lever snapped off. Is a reliable, low power car in a pretty, fragile plastic box.
