Smile Re: tiburon reliability?

My mother has an 01 Elantra with 133k on it. Had to replace a rotted-out hose on the power steering pump and the MAP sensor. The radiator went under warrantee, but that could have happened to anyone and have had no problems with the cooling system since. The MAP sensor was a Hyundai only part, cost $50 from the dealer and the mechanic didn't even have to take off the silencer to swap it out -- she wouldn't let me touch it becuase she was afraid I'd break it for some reason. Still getting almost 30mpg and handling just as well as it ever did. Suspension is in great shape, steering is tight. I see no reason why your Tiburon wouldn't last as long if you took care of it.
