bua420 Posted December 9 Report Share Posted December 9 I'm not a big fan of them there not all that reliable but if you only plan on keeping it for 2-3 years then it's not a bad idea. The depreciation is pretty bad on them. After a few years there not worth all that much. They are a good looking car though and pretty cheap to pick up. You do get what you pay for though. Just keep that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgiddy Posted December 10 Report Share Posted December 10 I doubt it's dual exhaust, true dual exhaust. They have gotten much better over the years in terms of reliability and looks(IMO). Not bad for the money, get a decent car for the price of a cheap car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aa07033 Posted December 10 Report Share Posted December 10 Definitely better looking imo compared to the first generation modeling, there is some pull from the engine but a 6 cyl making 180, you could go VW and get a 1.8t for those numbers. It's a tight interior however so don't expect to be packing all your friends into it and personally I don't think there's anything HOLY $H!T about it. However I was considering getting one as a starter car just because it isn't extravagent but isn't boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfitz73 Posted December 10 Report Share Posted December 10 Thinking of buying this car. V6, dual exhuast. Anyone have opinions on this car? How's it ride, reliability, etc?Going from an M3 to this?? It isn't a bad car. Hyundai has actually come a long way in terms of reliability & quality. It still has a ways to go before it can play with the big boys, but you definitely can do worse. I think Hyundai's also come with a 10 year wuarentee as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticRain Posted December 10 Author Report Share Posted December 10 No the M3 is my dream car however the latest pics of the newer ones make the car look ugly now. I have a Toyota Corolla, just thinking of getting a new car. I luv my car, just like new ones better, lol, even though it is a 2002. I liked the style of the Tiburon. Like the Lexus too.

cuntolympia Posted December 11 Report Share Posted December 11 Check out the Scion TC, its a 4banger, but gives 160hp and has alot of pull to it, And is wayyyy nicer looking then the tib, and its a Toyota, and has the camry engine, a super charger is coming out soon, and that will give it a 200-210 Hp push, u can build it, With SOOOO much shitScion.comi just bought one, about a month ago, i could have gotten any car i wanted, but spending 60k on a car im gonna use for a year felt REALLY lame, esp since i live in soho, i got it loaded with everything you could, 18's lip kit, secuirty, mp3 Cd, And it has a All glass Top, one sunroof, and one sky light in the back, its a coupe/Hatchpics> not my car, This is from Cardomain.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintron Posted December 12 Report Share Posted December 12 Hyundai Tiburon:A somewhat spicy coupe, with an engine still tuned to power a truck, not a sports car. Great low end torque for popping around town but it runs out of breath when you rev it. Basically it feels like a modern day 240sx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebitch Posted December 12 Report Share Posted December 12 i wouldnt get a hyundai, they are kinda crappy. its all sporty looking but its a friggen hyundai. it is cheesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAZE Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 Hyundai has definately come a long way. They bumped Toyota and Honda out of the number 1 spot for reliability last year. I've had my Tiburon for over 5 years now and have not had one single problem with it. Plus with the 100,000 mile warranty, you can't go wrong.Personally, I like my body style better than the new one.Check the Scion out too.

bigpoppanils Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 what about that new Chevy Cobalt SS?it has more power and weighs less than both the Tiburon and Scion.dont be put off by the $20,000 pricetag either....there will be incentives on it.

bigpoppanils Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 Hyundai has definately come a long way. They bumped Toyota and Honda out of the number 1 spot for reliability last year. yes, consumer reports did place Hyundai higher than Toyota. But the Tiburon was regarded as one of the least reliable in its class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cintron Posted December 14 Report Share Posted December 14 for 20g's a Neon SRT4 would also be a lot of fun, or a one or two-year old WRX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bua420 Posted December 14 Report Share Posted December 14 Neon's are a peace of sh~t.....stay away from them. You drive one of the lot and get into an acident and total it then it's worth half the money you just spent on it. It's a throw away car.

bua420 Posted December 14 Report Share Posted December 14 when you total any car, it's worth at most, half the money you spent on it.That's not compleatly true. It depends on the car and it's resale value or Residuale value. They also take into acount rebates and special promotions. It's great when you see an ad for $4000 cash back on a car but at the same time they just lowered the value of the car. You have to keep all this in mind. I know I have said it before but you get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aa07033 Posted December 14 Report Share Posted December 14 Personally I think Saturns are very boring in terms of styling and general design. The SRT-4 packs a pretty decent punch considering power vs. price, where else can you get 220+ for around 20g brand new? Regarding the list given above I'm a fan of the Civic si BUT only the older ex style (not this new hatchback design). The eclipse is tight on space and the toyotas I feel are great in terms of reliability but both are underpowered. Then again I had a friend who was considering buying a Matrix because it had an outlet, so it depends on what you're out for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You drive one of the lot and get into an acident and total it then it's worth half the money you just spent on it. It's a throw away car.you dont have to total it to lose half of your money. If you keep it for 5 years, you will lose about 75% of what you paid for it in depreciation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
