New Tib

I was considering purchasing the new Tiburon. So I went edmunds.com to see the invoice pricng reports, what I found I did not like. Although this may have been the owner's fault it may have altered my decision. Here is the link to the consumer review from edmunds.http://www.edmunds.com/new/2006/hyundai/tiburon/100658359/ratings_consumer.html

Well, considering how many good reviews there are compared to bad, I wouldn't put too much weight on that comment. I love my Tib and haven't had any problems so far (almost a year now since I got it).

Also, I don't know what dealerships she was going to, but mine has been great with service etc. I even got my hood repainted when I found some hazy spots that they determined were factory defect.

It seems like some people just have no idea how to take care of a car, then they blame it on the manufacturer and dealer(s) and anyone else they can.

I wouldn't base your decision on that one person. The 2.7L is a very strong engine. How they managed to blow it up, I don't know. I have been the parts manager here for over 4 years, and I can't remember, if/when we ever had to replace a 2.7L for a warranty repair. Now replacing them for lack of maintenance, that's another story. I think there have been 2 because of that. And a/c problems. Of all the car lines I've dealt with over the years, Hyundai's I think have the least amount of a/c problems than any other make. It literally takes me probably 2 years to go through 1 30lb can of R134A. The only a/c compressor I stock is for a Sante Fe, and I've only sold 2 of them in the past year. I don't know why, but we just don't see problems with a/c on Hyundai's.

Thank you for your thoughts on that. I really like the design of the Tiburon, I am hoping to test drive one soon though. That will probably be the deciding factor in my purchase. Since I have also been considering the Scion tc and VW GTI.

Motors don't blow up by themselves, they need help. Like a bad tune and/or bad work. I've been running an SC for over 2 years at 7.5 psi and many other mods and have no problems whatsoever. If you beat the crap out of a car it will do the same to you.

would anyone happen 2 know wat company makes the tuscani

would anyone happen 2 know wat company makes the tuscani
Tuscani is the Korean version of the Tiburon. It's still a Hyundai.

would anyone know if there is any sighnifcant difference between thi regular tiburon and the korean made tuscani

Not much. Different colors, options, packages etc. Some Tuscanis come with folding mirrors and heated seats and I think a handsfree connection for cell phones. You can do all that to a US Tiburon if you want to badly enough (and have the cash).

The differences are cosmetic. Many of us convert the Tib to KDM.
