When I originally bought this car I couldn't say enough good things about it. I love the growl it makes when you start it up and it handles really well. I have the GT maodel with a V6 207 litre engine. A few months ago the car refused to start, I had it flat bedded to my dealer using their towing service. They determined the problem to be a bad starter due to motor oil getting on it from an oil change performed by a Jiffy Lube type of place. I paid the $300 for a new starter and my wife drove the car home only to complain that the radio is not working. It plays but only at a whisper and the display is blank. Hyundai denies they had anything to do with it and my warranty was 4 months and 1,000 miles past coverage. We are talking about their very expensive Infinity System. After arguing with the dealer until I was angry I called Hyundai America. They seemed much more understanding and offered me a hardship case where they had the dealer remove the radio and send it to be repaired. One month later my dealer called to say the radio was back, I made an appointment and had it reinstalled. It still doesn't work and they sent it out to be repaired again. Hyundai pretends they know nothing about similar radio problems but I have seen a few involving leaks from the sunroof and other issues with other Hyundai models. I am beginning to think I am being lied to and being taken for big bucks. I will not pay Hyundai for a new radio and will not purchase another Hyundai if this does not get resolved soon. I would like to hear from anyone else with Hyundai Radio problems especially the Infinity system with single CD and Tape Cassette deck. I had a feeling that something was wrong when a 2005 car still had a Cassette deck when my 2002 Nissan Xterra had a 6 disc changer in the dash. |

My soon is looking at a 2000 tiburon with 107K. 5 speed manual. We have driven it and it seems to drive well, will take it in for a ppi before purchase. Are there any specific problems I should look for or are there concerns from this year or mileage. Thanks for any suggestions you can provide.

Question from sunny Texas: Out the door price for 2008 Tib GS (4 cyl auto) quoted at $17,140.00 (TTL included in quote) No cruise control or sunroof on this model, but as long as it has auto tranny, i am happy. Good deal or keep looking? |
