My wife bought her red Tiburon new in 2001. People ask her all the time, 'what is that car?'. They like it, especially in red. 195,000 miles on it, no real problems. She loves it!
I've had my 2004 for 8 years already and it's been an amazing time. I'm approaching 200k miles the worst thing that's happened was the bcm going out. Very reliable not the fastest but still fun to drive especially in the canyon.
Hi, i'am glad that somebody is spreading the word of Tiburon around youtube. Lot of people prefer the four cylinder because it's much more boost friendly. It has engine block from cast iron that can withstand bigger PSI on stock internals and more beating, the V6 has aluminium block that is still great but cannot achieve the strenght of the iron block.
Thanks brother! Doing what I can to shed light on a cool little car. I love mine personally! And yes I agree. I never understood why Hyundai would do that tho lol
I just got mine for a trade and 2500$ on top, had it for about two weeks now it was pretty much completely redone and has a few simple mods and was lowered a bit, loving this car so far it has 150k on it but it sounds great, runs beautifully and shifts smooth I definitely see the reliability in it
I have a 2004 SE 4 cylinder with 283000 kms on it. Still looks great! Parts are now very difficult to find. Still my daily drive. Requires only regular maintenance. I have had mine for 13 years. I bought it for its appearance and not for speed.
It would have bad a future had it made it into Fast and Furious 2 . That said it's a beautiful car simple to work on and unique in it's own right , it has a very interesting heritage and comes from inspiration taken from Ferrari. Honestly if Hyundai revived it on the new N-line platform this would be a amazing machine.
I have a 1997 Hyundai Tiburon FX 2.0 engine with 49000 miles,1 owner,the car is 100% Original And Absolutely Mint Condition, 10/10 ,Red,With Black, Grey Interior, Ice cold air conditioning, Everything Works, and not a scratch on it,I Bought It Last Week From A Near 100 Year Old Lady,If you don't know the car it looks like a 2022 fresh from the factory new car,I paid $3200 Canadian Dollars and can get $9000 Cash Right Now From A Car Collector In London Ontario,But With The Price Of Fuel And How Much Fun To Drive I'm Keeping it For A While ,They Are Pretty Fast For A 4 cylinder 2.0 engine stock, I Like Driving It.
@@taylorjhaug,I tried to buy 1 in 1997 but with the 2 trucks I was leasing for my company back than it was just too close to not being able to make the payments, I Was 36 years old and now I have a brand new 25 year old 1 at age 57, I Lucked Out Bigtime, I Said I'd Buy It Within 1 Hour Of It Being Posted,I Was The First Person And Offered Full Amount And It Was Excepted And I Drove A Couple Hours To Pay And Paid $300 Axtra To Have It Delivered Because It Was Still Insured And Plated,The Person Didn't Know It Was The Hyundai Tiburon FX 2.0 Engine ,I Had All Ready Paid Signed Everything And A $9000 Offer Came In From A Car Collector In London Ontario, You Can Buy A Brand New Say 1969 SS Chevrolet Chevelle For $125.000 Canadian Dollars ,Or Whatever You Want Really If You Have The Cash,But I Just Bought All New Rotors,Pads,Plugs,Wires,And new tires because their Oringal And Going To Enjoy It This Summer For Sure,And That Car Is Fast Without Tuning But I'm Definitely Into Very Fast Cars And I Will Do Some Mods But Keep All Oringal Parts Safe,God Bless,Have A Wonderful Summer.
Currently own a 08’ SE 6 speed and love it. Bought it 4 years ago at 70k miles..70k later all it needed was a new flywheel/clutch. Currently sitting at 140k and just now getting to its first tune up. I don’t drive mine hard, I drive it 500 miles a week for work but I do give it a run for its money every now and then. Super reliable and looks great. Keep making Tib videos! Love your content bro.
Adored these since about 03 and always wanted one finally found my gt few years ago.. and love it for all the reasons you mentioned, also the hyundai v6 engine note with decent aftermarket exhaust makes me very happy Owning other v6s cars i honestly normally dont enjoy v6 engine sounds lol but i love the 2.7 very much
Solid review and accurate. Had my Tiburon for over 17 years and now is Turbo charged to solve the underpowered problem. Still looks great after all those years.
I bought a 2004 Red V6 Tiburon 2 years ago for $900- Has 100,000 miles runs great! Only issue is the paint is fading and passenger window needs to be replaced...Thought about selling it because I have 2 other cars,but it is such a reliable car it's hard for me to sell it.
Got mine with 180k miles on it about 18 months ago for $2500 as a build project. Some body welding was required due to rust spots in the fenders and rockers, the engine needed new cam guides, gaskets and a full set of belts, tensioners and rollers. Other than the rollers and destroyed cam chain guides some slightly seepy gaskets and some minor wear on the cam lobes, the engine was damn close to pristine inside. Replaced engine mounts, fuel pressure regulator and evap solenoid, replaced fuel injectors, installed new exhaust and intake, upgraded electrics, upgraded suspension, upgraded audio, replaced shifter, linkage and bushings, new clutch slave and hydraulic lines (and removed clutch restrictor), got new clutch and solid flywheel, got rid of radio antenna and rear windshield wiper, replaced '04 bumper and headlights with '06 variants.. Car runs and sounds great now, though it's still in the shop for some (for now) finishing touches. :) Even though I've put less than 2000 miles on it, I've gotten what I wanted: garage time, with a car that's quite easy to work on... and by the time this boy is all cleaned up, braced and wrapped it'll be a really nice car for night riding and road trips. The seats are super comfortable and the clutch feel is the best I've tried thus far - low resistance, completely linear, and yet you can *feel* the surface of the clutch disc. Even with the old and worn suspension it was really nimble around corners and mountain roads, and it's likely to be a lot better once it's done. Thus far the most expensive single purchase for the car are going to be wheels, likely to exceed the purchase price of the car itself. It's still running on the 17" premium stock wheels, which at 215 width are still a bit too narrow for my taste.
@@JohnnyTyrone77 almost, yes :) obviously it's still got some old original parts - transmission, suspension bushings, wheel bearings, crankshaft bearings, brake lines.. any one of those could give way, but the manufacturer's estimated drivetrain lifespan is over 300 000 miles, and for the moment the car works just fine, so I suspect I'll get at least a few years of fun out of it. :) Ooh, yeah, and I've got all the parts to make it run on E85 instead of regular gasoline, just haven't slapped them in yet. That's gonna add a bit more to play with and possibly save me a buck on fuel. As long as I have the Tiburon I'm not going to need to buy a "modern" car with 30+ computers and a constant Internet connection to the manufacturer. The Tiburon with its two dumb-as-bricks computers, separate electrical systems and engine with almost no emissions control mechanisms represents freedom in a way no car from the last five years can.
@@peterjohnson9438 Great points! That’s why I haven’t sold it.Only parts I’ve replaced are radiator,timing belt,water pump and front brakes…Car runs great and smooth and still corners tight on a dime! Not desiring to purchase an over computerized new vehicle…I also have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata 3.3 V6 with 145,000 miles that still runs smoothly..Thru research and reading customer reviews I’ve found that Hyundai’s made before 2010 are more reliable than Hyundai’s made 2011-2023.
change the water pump and timing belt for maintenance because you are due from the milage you stated in the video, and you will be fine. Trust me I've owned one for over 10yrs.
I daily a supercharged 05 with the 2.7 and the 6 speed, it's a ridiculously fun little thing. I'm in canada so our top-specs had the Tuscani emblems and center-caps, and I get asked what car it is all the time. I originally picked it up for pretty cheap with the intent of driving it till i got a "real car" but it just grew on me too damn much- The tiburon really flipped my notions of the car scene on its head, and I really don't think I'd be as open-minded a person I am now had I not picked it up.
I have ‘04 2.0 with about 205k miles. I also redline almost daily. It is not very powerful but fun to drive. The I4 should last longer and cheaper gas than V6. I beat on her she’s a good girl. Also my first car that I really worked on. Had her 13 years now.
I think in those days little people hate this car before there is a lot because the name Hyundai only If it Toyota will be different story !! but now most of people like it more than the Genesis Coupe !!
I own both and I love both. I've had my 2003 Tiburon 2.7l 6spd way longer than my 2014 Gen 2.0T R-Spec 6spd. Both cars are unique in their own way. I have upgraded the suspension, brakes, flywheel, clutch, headers and exhaust in the Tiburon. On the Gen I have SFR stage 1.5 Tune, Stage 1 stuffed turbo, and custom straight pipe from turbo with flame thrower kit. They are both completely different personalities. I have videos of both on my channel.
i cant agree with you more i personally have tiburon mk1 facelift, its my first car and im more then happy having it, best part is when i got it from germany to cz it was standing still on one place 3 years and it was working all fine and still is and i think it will last a while with me.
you probably won’t see this comment but i js got a 2003 Hyun tiburon and i was wondering if you could do a video on where the water pump is bc i cannot find it for the life of me
The water pump is on the left side, you have to remove the plastic cover on the left side of the engine, you have to replace the timing belt and the water pump at the same time make sure you go with Gates brand and follow the directions on the NewTiburon forum
I had an 06 GT new. Fun and good looking car but performance wise nothing to brag about but then again it was only $21k new. Noteworthy that it was tough. I got rear-ended by a dude going 40mph & me & 2 passengers walked away. Dude in the F150 face planted and was knocked out.
I have a tibby too, 2008 2.0 - this car stuck in my mind since NFS Underground 1, always love the way it looks. And i got one :D for almost 2 years. The car never surprised me on road, always arriving without problems. Had a lot parts to replace after previous owner but its getting perfect condition. I've replaced front bumper with HANA Bumper, will do angely eyes, remove rear wiper which is useless imo. Already got cool rims 17" Rial lucca black. Car is white outside, with red leather interior, tinted windows :D Oh, and i will debadge it :) Hyundai doesn't fit this great head turning car. New custom exhaust coming soon too
I love this car, especially how looks, but my doubt about this car is how much consumes, i heared a lot of opinions about this, so if anyone has a 2.0, i would like to know how good or bad it is :D
over 250k on mine. Maintenance, basic mechanic work, it has been wonderful. I've eyeballed getting a Genesis Coupe when this one kicks the bucket. Thoughts?
I bought a 2003 brand new. it was my worst financial decision I have ever made. the icing on the cake was when the thermostat stuck closed and blew up my radiator and warped the head @ 70k miles. an accident eventually killed it at about 80k. man i hated that POS. but they do look nice.
Well it has been great to me so far, I am sorry to hear it went on ya! I think they are great cars, not fast or rare, but a great option for a fun daily!
got 250k km on mine and I drive it like i stole it LOL :D got a 2002 and all I changed in my 1yr of ownership was a bad water pump and clutck cillinder..... and a battery.... :D (besides oil and that stuff)
I know it's a sports car, but how uncomfortable is the back for passengers? I had a Toyota Paseo and no one of average height could sit in the back and keep their neck straight, I'm 5'7 and even for me it was uncomfortable.
How and where did you get yours for $1500, I see one in my market (Detroit) now for $5500 110k miles 2005er. If I could find one around the same deal as yours id buy yesterday.
Please Please. HOW can I speak with you on the phone! I have a 2003 Tiburon Gt v6 Auto... I don't know much about her, but I've owned her for the last 10 years. Did a swap of engine an tyranny an I have questions that I can't seem to find answers for...
I've been wanting one for years I've gotten obsessed but never really seen one in real life, ones 2180USD in my area at the moment but I am not able to pull it off, broken hearted 😂
@@taylorjhaug one day I shall do just that... been around 8 years now I been trying to get ahold or even see one 😂 contemplating selling my car and fish tanks etc as many house hold items as it takes haha, sooner then later be glorious 😂
How much is it selling for? In my honest opinion, I wouldn't say it's a good "investment". It doesn't have low miles or anything like that, and it's not a rare car by any means. I got mine because I like the car not for investment purposes.
My wife bought her red Tiburon new in 2001. People ask her all the time, 'what is that car?'. They like it, especially in red. 195,000 miles on it, no real problems. She loves it!
Went to get tires recently for my 07 133k miles. Young man behind the counter says “I’ve never seen one of those” lmao

Got an 05 5 spd. I love it.
I did had that problem once .but I had it to have my boy back.
This one is my second one .my first one I sold it.i regreted.this one .he will died in my hands.from fhily.

I'm looking at an 06 145k miles is it a good investment
How much is it selling for? In my honest opinion, I wouldn't say it's a good "investment". It doesn't have low miles or anything like that, and it's not a rare car by any means. I got mine because I like the car not for investment purposes.
@@taylorjhaug selling for 2k
@@trustme7660 I bought mine with 80K miles for only $1500...so idk. Is it in good condition? Is it stock?
