It was a curse

By Anthony (AL) on Wednesday, October 03, 2012

I owned and sold this car - My approximate mileage is 180,000

Pros: "Dynamic exterior design"

Cons: "Cheap materials, poor interior design"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"This car was cheaply made and was not durable. Poor design is apparent in having to retract the cup holder to access other compartments. As the original owner of this car, I was bitterly disappointed by the frequent repairs this car costed me. I had to replace the transmission about four times. Because nothing stayed fixed for very long, I will never invest in a Hyundai product again."

Good Sports Car

By Halfangel (OH) on Saturday, March 17, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 120,000

Pros: "Fun to drive, great in the wind, big trunk"

Cons: "not good in snow or ice, back not meant for tall"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 6

"It is a great sports car for someone who doesn't need to worry about driving in the snow. It is low profile so it is hard to get through high snow and has no traction on icy roads. It often hydroplaned in rain more than any other car I have driven. It is a great little car for someone who doesn't need to carry around lots of people, especially if they are tall, or bigger. there are back seats that fit kids, but with the way the roof slants there is no head room for grown up to sit.The car has great get up and go, even with the air on full blast it just putters along."

I adore this car

By Coffee (AZ) on Friday, February 10, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 100,000

Pros: "Fun, fast, loud, cool"

Cons: "Expensive to repair, tickets"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"You know the expression 'Turns on a dime'? Totally fits this car! U-turns take 1 1/2 lanes; no more. Tight. Acceleration off the line or out of a turn is amazing. You always want a car that can get out of it's own way...this is the way to go. If you pull up @ a light"

BEST NEW CAR PURCHASE IN 40 YRS

By myrl (TX) on Thursday, January 26, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 117,000

Pros: "GREAT BODY STYLING AND A TURE COUPE!!!"

Cons: "ONLY 22 MILES TO THE GAL."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I ALWAYS BOUGHT NEW AND AMERICAN BUT WHEN MY NEW 2000 GRAND AM WAS TOTALED AND ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD BY MY SON I NEEDED SOMTHING FAST AND CHEAP BECAUSE I WAS UPSIDE DOWN ON THE PAYMENT. I FOUND MY TIBERON CAR AND PAID ONLY $12,800 NEW. IT;S STILL GOING STRONG AND HAS REQUIRED LITTLE REPAIRS, I ALWAYS GIVE MY CARS REGULAR MAINTANCE ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL. I ACTUALLY WENT BACK TO THE DEALER IN 2010 AND WAS GOING TO BUY ANOTHER TIBERON BUT FOUND OUT THAT THEY DON'T MAKE IT ANY MORE. I HAVE SHOPPED AROUND FOR 2 YEARS AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING I LIKE AS WELL SO I'M RESTROING MINE. ALTHOUGH THE CARS TODAY GET BETTER GAS MILAGE THEY ALL SEEM TO HAVE WEIRD STYLING WITH THE BACK ENDS OF THEN KICKED IN LIKE THE OLD 1970 GREMLIN AMC'S"
