Hyundai, bring back the '08 Tiburon!

This sports car is nearly perfect for the normal, everyday kind of fun ride for folks on a budget. It's sleek, handsome body feels like an expensive sports car without breaking the bank. It handles like a dream and yet provides the functions of a clunky two-door sedan with its roomy trunk, decent back passenger space, and flexibility. The only improvement the Tiburon needs is to improve its 5-speed transmission so the fifth gear is a true cruising gear. The Mitsubishi transmission is very good, but the difference between 4th and 5th gear is so negligible it seems like it's a waste. The hydraulic clutch is smooth and responsive, and its repair costs are well within reason for its performance. The Genesis replacement for this model has its purpose, and the Veloster looks awful, but the Tiburon is where the normal driver can go from bland to wow without breaking the bank. Bring the '08 Tiburon back, Hyundai!

2008 Hyundai Tiburon

I love this little Gem.... It has a sharp look to it. People compliment it all the time. I've never had a problem with it. Performance is out standing. Even after driving it for eight years it not only still looks new, it drives like it's brand new. Love driving it!

My Tiburon has served me well for several years now.... one recall for a fuse .... only routine maintenance needed. Comfortable ride, great handling!

Nice Car!

This has been one of the best cars I've owned. Very reliable, looks good, and it is fun to drive. I plan to try to keep it up as long as possible because it will be hard to give it up if and when the time comes!

Tiburon 2008

Love the look and leather seats and low maintenance! The stereo is great but the XM Sirius only lasted 3 years.

Love this car!

bought this car new in 2008 and it has been excellent. Fun to drive, economical and dependable. Closest thing to it is the Genesis Coupe which I would recommend too.

LOVE this car!

I really wish Hyundai still made the Tiburon. I’ve had mine nearly 10years now and it still runs great. I’d probably buy a new one in the next 3-4 months if they still had the Tiburon.

Love my car

I have had my car since it was brand new. I love it!!! It's sporty, cute and fun to drive!! Added a new speaker system so it totally rocks! It's a 4cyl 5-speed, but, even with the smaller engine it has a lot of "get up and go!"

Retired

This my first Hyundai car. I love my Tiburon which is 10 years old With 73,000 miles on it. I have not had any major problems only minor repairs during that time. Always take it to Cochran Hyundai dealership for any work. I would recommend a Hyundai car to anyone looking for a car new or used. Also recommend Cochran Hyundai dealership.

My Tiburon

While the Tiburon has been discontinued, the big brother Genesis Coupe is now available. I would have either. I now have 2 Hyundai vehicles and when necessary, the next one will be a Genesis also. Bill

Probably Hyundai's most beautifully stunning car to date

Overall a wonderful sports car with many attractive design features; comparable in style to the $100K Mercedes sports, the $90K Porshe and other luxury cars - frequently stopped by those unfamiliar with this more unique model, always in admiration how beautifully designed the car is especially when viewed from the side. Runs longer than a Toyota (mine broke down at 247K miles), Honda (at 187K miles) and GM (broke down at 95K miles) - still going strong at 280K.

My Third Tiberon

I simply love my Tiburon. I have had this one since 2008 which was the last year Hyundai made that model. I have treated it with tender loving care and hope it will last me for another 10 years! (hint... if Hyundai made a new Tiburon model I would consider replacing!)

Great car

The Tiburon is a great little car, It is very reliable, fast, and looks great. I am an original owner and I have not had any problems with her. I am so sorry that they are not making Tiburon's anymore.
