farhan Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hi fellas, one of my friends bought a tiburon and i have become infatuated with the car. i havn't had a chance to drive the vehicle around myself so wanted to get some opinions on how well this car drives and is it suitable for a person like me who is a family man as well as a fanatic for sporty coupes. I also thought that my friend paid a bit extra for this car and wanted to know what is the generally known market price for the tiburon. any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

manjit Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Are you talking about the 2008 model? Thats when hyundai ended production of this car. I found it terrible ... and you're infatuated... are you sure it was a tiburon? Hyundai produces other kinds of good cars. unfortunately this one wasn't among them.

farhan Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Tiburon for sure ... oh i didnt know they ended production of this car in 2008? My friend did buy the same year's model though. That clears that. Anyways, I liked the looks of it and to be honest i am not familiar with the tiburon at all. So you are saying it was a terrible car ... even if it was ended back in 2008 ... why would you say that? Did it have a lot of problems attached to it?

basit Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 You need to be more specific about which model you are talking about ... with this particular car, the older models were not really impressive but hyundai picked them up with time. The face-lifts were doing well especially after 2002. among all the tiburons from start to finish my fav was the 6 speed manual - Coupe GT V6.

hotdog Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Id settle with any good looking car dude ... and this car was inexpensive and not bad looking. Just that its sorta a thing in the past now. Does not have that mod look and feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gill Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 poor resale value was pretty common ... so Farhan if you are planning to buy a used car .. make sure you pay peanuts too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdog Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Okay getting serious ... the tiburon 08 model GT coupe was one of the best in the entire league. Previous cars were toys sadly enough. Anyways ... the 08 coupe has a 7/10 rating on majority of the websites online proving consumer satisfaction. Not bad in the design, sporty driving and good warranty offered by the company but unfortunately many owners complained about the stiff driving experience. If you have not driven the car yet, i'd say give it a ride before you decide anything further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farhan Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Thanks hotdog ... I needed that information but now i feel that i cant depend my choice on the price and how cheaper it is. Test driving it is definitely necessary ... plus now that i am looking out for options i am considering some alternatives as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
