Ive been thinkin about sellin the old avenger and buying a tiburon. Probly the 2000 type and basicly i wanted to know a few things about the 2000 tiburon.
#1 Does it have a fully independent supension¿
#2 Tiburons look like they have really small tires/wheels. What is the diamater and how wide are they?
#3 What do you think is all around better for acceleration, handleing, and dayily driveablitiy the 2000 or 2003 (with the i4 5 speed)

--this is on the '03, i looked into buying one so i know about them, however im not sure on the '00--
as for the wheels on the the '03 they are either 16" or 17" depending on the package because you have to upgrade to the 17's when you are only getting the 4cyl.
and a '03 is a lot better than a '00. the suspension is different and it handles better and the engines in the '03+ are arguably better than the ones in the '00. all in all the '03 is definitely a better car, in my opinion and from what i've read.

Im sorry, i dont know what its called but i diddent meen the size of the rim i ment the tire and the rim whats the over all diamater and the width?
But the 2000 type is much lighter then the 2003 so it is better for straight line acceleration. Yeah i agree that the 2003 is better in many ways like its looks and such.

the engines in both are almost exactly the same. minor differences in the cylinder heads, and some of the 04 gk tibs got something similiar to vtec. it is cvvt, but they applied it more to gas mileage, which doesnt matter anyway because the gk is about 400 lbs. heavier. this could make for better driveability though, as the torque curve is smoother.
the tire size on the 03 base model is 205/55/16
00 is 195/55/15.
