Ok I dont know much about repairs, I just sold them, up till last November I was a sales person for a hyundai Dealership. I have a 97 Tiburon I love it. The 03 was the first year for the new body style. As far as purchassing a used Tib, or any Hyundai you have to remember that only the original owner gets the 100k warranty. Additional owners get only the balance of the bumper to bumper of 5 yr 60k. And if you purchass a new Hyundai, for the first year even wear items are include in warranty. They call it adjustments warranty. As far as 05 - 06 I love the SE version. the exterior is the same and most of the interior, except the transmission is a 6 spd manual not a 5 spd. and the Audio system rocks. All SE model have moonroof also. Very fun car to drive. Dont know anything about the 07 model, I just seen the first one today. I like the look, but not been in one yet. I will say this about warranty. We did have several customers come in with problems with the moonroof, just a bad button though replaced and back on the road no big deal. Another customer liked the SE model enough they bought the 06 SE and traded a 05 Corvette Conv. Comm. Edition for it. Sweet ride. I know I rambled on sorry. Hope some of it helped...lol

No, thanks, it was very useful. Glad someone responded.
The thing of it is I would only get the Tibby if I could get an extended warranty and would definitely get the auto. Not in the mood for a $2K clutch/flywheel bill. And the warranty covers a good amount of things (not counting items like brakes, belts/hoses and other wear items). It doesn't seem as robust as I had thought, but it is still in the running. If I can get a good deal on one, with a good maintenance record I can verify then it would be a go.
Don't know if I would've traded a vette for one, unless I lost me job or was in debt up to... 
Anyway, will keep doing research on the vehicle and will make a decision.

GT's Sound System

I am just wondering about some of the specifications on the GT's sound system. I know that the GS and SE have the 220-Watt Kenwood system, and that the GT Limited has the 440-Watt Infinity sound system, but there isn't alot of details or specifications on the GT's system. All it says is "AM/FM/CD/MP3 /cassette audio system with 6 speakers" no wattage or the companies name that makes it (is it an Hyundai sound system???).
Thanks,
-Shawn

Ok. As far as I can remember only the SE model has the Kenwood system, but I maybe wrong. The GT-Limited comes standard with the Infinity system, and the normal GT model comes standard with the base system or upgrade to the Infinity. I believe that is correct. Now the GT model may come standard with the Infinity system as well I can't remember 100%.

I am 100% positive that the GS and the SE both come standard with the Kenwood system, and the GT Limited comes standard with the Infinity system. I would assume that since the GT is a higher model than the GS it would have a nicer system in it, but on Hyundai's website and in thier brochure all it say is: "AM/FM/CD/MP3 /cassette audio system with 6 speakers". I would just like someone to elaborate a little bit more on the specifications on this system. Thanks!

We just purchased a 2007 GT model, and it comes standard with the base system (80W), with CD/Cassette/AM/FM, two rear speakers, two front door speakers and 2 tweeters.
The upgrade to the Infinity 440W sound system is in a package only - that has the 440W Infinity Sound System and the Sliding Moon Roof. That package/upgrade costs $1,800. You can't just get the upgraded Infinity Sound System by itself (unfortunately), you have to buy the package which includes the Sliding Moon Roof.
We didn't want the moon roof so we passed on the upgrade and plan to have an aftermarket sound system installed.
I hope this helps.

Pro's and Cons to the Tibby

I am fed up with my obsession with Pontiac/Chev cars, I have to say I love the appearance of the Tiburon, I have test drove a few, mostly only the 6 speed, V6 ( obviously) I loved the pick up it has, the ride was comfortable, it handled well, but all in all, it was a test drive.
Just wondering what year of Tiburon you have and whats your thoughts on it.
Also, any major repairs done to it?

We bought a new (leftover) 2006 Tib GT V-6 for my wife last Thanksgiving. She had driven a line of mini-vans and SUV's for the last 16 or 17 years. I thought she was making a mistake, but she absolutely loves her Tib. It holds all of her purchases, and it is a barrel of fun to drive. She hasn't regretted it one bit... we liked it so much that I bought a new Sonata Limited over the New Year's weekend. Both of them are great cars... hope this helps! Mike

I bought an 05 Tib new. I owned a 01 eclipse before it (crashed it). I think the eclipse had a little more power, but the Tib handles better. Although the steering isn't quite as responsive as it could be. Top speed on a stock Tib is definetly 140. Its got good acceleration. I have 32,000 miles on the car. I go through tires like water but thats more me then the car. I just had it in the dealership because the check engine light came on. Turned out to be some evap valve closeing thingy. I have no idea but it was under warantee so i didn't pay a dime for that. I need a brake job (but thats the first) and sometimes there is a funny hum in the steering. Had the power steering fluid flushed and filled but there is still a bit of a sound. All in all i very much like the car. But if the new 236 or 263 which ever it is eclipse was out when i bought the car, i would probably have gone for that. I hear they may make a AWD version of that eclipse at some point. I might trade up at that point, or maybe for one of the new Camaros. It has enough power to put a smile on your face, but after a while you crave a little more. Out of all the sport compacts, the Tiburon looks the best, the body was desinged buy people who desinged Ferraris.
