What Owners are Saying About the 1998 Hyundai Tiburon
"Wish I would've gotten when I was 20yrs old!!"
"I absolutely love this car its very reliable n basically made for a car seatless couple. Once that's in the equation it's not so comfortable. It's low to the ground so, that being said not made for ppl with bad knees or hips lol!! Its awesome on gas and drives great!! Its stylish n the sunroof in the summer is awesome. My only gripe is the CD/Cassette player never worked when I bought it. But, what do u expect when u purchase a 17yr old car that belonged to a college student? Its an amazing car n fin to drive."
"great car"
"performs great and very reliable. i live in omaha and it tends to snow alot and i have had zero problems getting around in it, the 5 speed is great"
"Questionable at best"
"I have owned this car for 4 years and have had nothing but problems with it since I"ve owned it. When it was driving well it was outstanding. It's a really fun car to drive and has great pick-up. That being said, I never knew when the check engine light was going to come on. I had to fix the transmission 3 times in 4 years. It seemed like every 6 months I was putting another $1000 worth of work into it. Like I said, it was a great car, just not as reliable as I would have liked."
