Hyundai Tiburon used review | 2002-2010 - Cars Guide
Lucy Liang's son wants to buy a used Hyundai Tiburon and she's worried about its quality and any major concerns it might have. The Tiburon sports coupe was something of a surprise when Hyundai launched it in 2002, it didn't fit with what Hyundai was making at the time. It looked attractive, its lines were smooth and sporty, and its proportions were nicely balanced. The front-wheel drive Tiburon wasn't a hard-edged sports car. it was more a pleasant cruiser meant to appeal to the same people who reckoned the Toyota Celica was sporty. Hyundai's idea was simple. When first launched Tiburon buyers could choose between a 2. 0-litre four-cylinder engine that delivered a modest punch of 102 kW and 181 Nm and a more menacing V6 that promised 127 kW and 245 Nm. The V6 was the one to go for. On the road the Tiburon handled quite well, displaying decent grip when pressed, while also riding comfortably, something not all sports car could boast. Hyundai's quality was ordinary to say the least when the brand first appeared in our showrooms, but it has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years. Source: www.carsguide.com.au
