| They're not as quick as they should be. That's what I know. There's something sad about a 2.7L DOHC 24V V6 that only makes 181hp. They look good, though. I guess that counts for something. :dunno: |

The only Tiburon I've liked is that light blue color they came out with...that color though looks good on alot of vehicles though..

| they are decent.... Hyundai just developed a supercharger for the 2.7 V6.... and RAZZI makes a nice ground effects kit.... Our best time has been 14.6 in the quater (bolt-ons / nos)... |

They get rocked by every car that they try to play with. 2nd gear jason and i had 1.5 car lengths in my BB1. We were at the track of course :thumbup:
My advice, buy a 300zx TT. Now that is a sweet car, don't get hyundai. |

you owned a 3rd gen.... i agree. Those are boring in comparison. 4th and 5th gens are the ones with all the options. I don't know man, if you spend 15k on a tiburon i will lose some respect. With 15k you could buy an mr2, rx7, 300zx, hell any jdm car, and usdm sports car and have a shop do all the labour for you to bring it up to perfect running order. Or you could spend your money on a tib..... |

| your joking right 4th gens are more boring and gay to drive and a 6th gens nice but many many problems in the balljoints and shit once they get old they leak and tranny problems i want to stay away |

lol thanks. How many 4th gens have you driven? Clearly none. All i can say is at least it is not a tiburon. Balljoint problems? i have never had any, tranny problems? i have never heard of any except for autos. You are making no sense jason. |

i have driven 3 diff 4th gens just for a bit but i find them annoying and dont like the look of there assend. 5th gen's biggest recall on autos is tranny so ya. i donno i replaced 5 of 8 ball joints on a 5th gen last week casue they had play and they piss me off i want away from a honda so i am just looking aint wanting to get in an argument of which car is better or worse i just want info on the tiburon from users man

drive to the states and pick up a 350z :dunno: You might have to bump that price up to 16-17 after all the boarder costs but you can buy 03's for 15k. That is my recommendation. |

For the record. I am well aware preludes are not fast cars stock. However, i do know they are much faster than a tiburon. It is sad when my friends d series n/a non built civic pulls on a tiburon.... of course that is the generation before this one but still..... |

if you want a tib just for cruising, and not for power; go with the 4 Banger. Motor overall is tougher. But if you want the 6speed, go for it. Gas millage will be a bit lower and suggest changing the clutch. If you want a pimp Tiburon to power up, Look @ the GS-R's. They usually arent much more. Tuscani's are my love! :thumbup:
Also:
Check the recalls list also, incase there is one that you might not like for whatever reason |

No Retard.
Take a look.....
STI: 1st: 3.636, 2nd: 2.235, 3rd: 1.521, 4th:1.137, 5th:0.971, 6th: 0.756
SRT-4: 1st: 3.0, 2nd: 2.118, 3rd: 1.609 4th:1.296 5th:1.071
6 speed means tighter (closer) gear ratios. Tighter gear ratios means minimal rpm drop while shifting, and better use of your power band.
I guess the only reason they are producing 7-speed paddle shift transmissions like the Bugatti Veyron or the BMW M5, is to "make more work IE more shifting" you fucking dolt.
Typical SRT-4 "know it all".... Shut your mouth if you dont have anything intelligent to contribute. |

if your stock prudz will step up. if your modded your more then welcome to take a crack at my lude :P or adam if he gets his plans going soon.
anyways the last car i would buy for 15k is a tib. theres so many options out there for that price range. like adam said, rx7, 300zx, etc. and don't let the year play a big role. a 1995 car can be in a lot better shape then a 2000+car. its all in how it was maintained. but im sure you know that. just find something decent, with repair records, low km's and your set. just i don't see a hyundai being the best option lol. |

Hmmm...my Accord has a 6 speed and if I don't want to shift as often, I just won't. Or I'll let it rev a little higher in say, third, and then shift into fifth.
The only time you ever HAVE to shift more is if you're driving for either maximum performance or maximum fuel economy. The transmission in my car is definitely NOT a chore to use (it feels great) which is one of the reasons I don't care about how much I shift or don't shift. Maybe if you drove a manual transmission that didn't feel like a wet spaghetti noodle connected to rubber bands, shifting wouldn't be a chore for you either.
Anyways, I digress. The Tiberon had some things about it that I didn't like. The biggest problem with it IMO was the lack of refinement. When you rev to near-redline, the V6 sure doesn't seem happy about it. |

Then skip a gear. That would be the point of a manual. Any gear you want at any time. Honestly, Automatics are made for people like you. For the rest of us, the more gears the better. (says the guy with no gears in his DD) |

i dont care about the shifting i am wanting to know from someone who works on these cars and drives one daily to tell me would they rebuy one if so why and if not why? i do like your opinions and thoughts dont get me wrong but i want to know from someone whos ripped one down and had fun putting it back together.

I dont think you have read the JD power ratings on newer Hyundai's, they are far better the toyota and honda. That is probably why he is looking at them. Honda and toyota have both let quality and reliability suffer and hyundai caught up and passed them in both departments. I dont own a hyundai, toyota or honda and dont plan on buying any of them but if i was going to pick one up and the only thing i looked at was the Jd power reviews and the motor trend reviews, i would be buying the hyundai. Hyundai's arent the shitty little cars we remember from the 80's, they have come a long way. |

You just said it was a lot stronger. Considering that Al block V6 is only pushing 181 horses, I'd say the fact that it's not an iron block will never be an issue. It's not as if this is some super high output V6 that's going to crack the block from being overstressed. |

That means nothing, My car has an aluminum block and i have no worries about how durable it is. Aluminum blocks have liners for a reason. :rolleyes: If they were less durable then i doubt they would make almost every new car available with them.:dunno:
They put aluminum blocks in cars because they give you the best of both worlds, they are lighter and just as strong as the iron counterparts. |

Honestly, The Hyundai is decent car; it has been reliable, even though we have put it through its paces. With the RAZZI body kit it looks good.
The only reason I would consider it for a winter driver is because I already have 3 "summer only" vehicles...
The Hyundai has a lot going for it...

I’d own one as a winter driver.
I have had a few Hyundai’s as rental cars. I was impressed with Elantra. The accent not so much, but it was a 1997 Bargain basement chick magnet (Rose Color) with leopard print seats… man…that unit was HOT!
Even though the accent was a base model with nothing to it, it still seemed to be a well built car.

for the record jason, i am not putting random shit down. I had to drive these shit boxes for almost a year at least twice a week. They don't compare. I think my posts are more valid than half the people in here because maybe one or two own one but i know no one has had to drive every single model of hyundai for the length i have.
Also, if you are so set on getting one, which it honestly shows you are, then just go buy one. Every post is set on you buying one so go drive one, then go buy one, and create a thread about modding one :thumbup: |

catlin987987, if your intrested in a tiburon go drive one and you can develop your own opinions. I'm confident you'll be more than happy with the ride quality and comfort of the vehicle.
And seriously, its pointless to compare the GK Tib to the older Hyundai's or 4 door elantra's... |

i wasn't, i was comparing them to all the 07 models :dunno: :p their driveability compared to every other new car i have driven besides something like a sunfire is at the same level imo as a sunfire. Hell, most 12-15 year old cars i have driven drive better than 05-07 hyundai's, but who am i to judge. I have only driven dealer cars for 2 1/2 years of my life :lol: |

I wouldn't quite go that far myself. I mean, I have driven 2 Tiberons as test drives over the past 4 years, and neither of them felt anything nearly as shitty as a Sunfire. Sunfires are the ultimate in modern shit cars.
The problem with the Hyundais from what I've experienced is in the refinement (both engine and suspension). While they may perform up to par, they don't FEEL good doing it! If I had to drive one every day, I'd be constantly bitching about that.

i wasn't, i was comparing them to all the 07 models :dunno: :p their driveability compared to every other new car i have driven besides something like a sunfire is at the same level imo as a sunfire. Hell, most 12-15 year old cars i have driven drive better than 05-07 hyundai's, but who am i to judge. I have only driven dealer cars for 2 1/2 years of my life :lol:

Well I guess that means that if it comes from Prudz_lude it HAS to be the truth :bowdown: . I guess this thread has served its usefulness and mods can now lock this thread.
Glad you agree, now the mods can shut jasons thread and let him go buy a tiburon. :p |

catlin987987, if your intrested in a tiburon go drive one and you can develop your own opinions. I'm confident you'll be more than happy with the ride quality and comfort of the vehicle.
And seriously, its pointless to compare the GK Tib to the older Hyundai's or 4 door elantra's...
damm his right don't listen to these guys saying shit!! go test drive one then decide, you will like it.. i have buddy who bought 07 tibby he loves it... |

Shut Up!!! how dare you doubt the knowledge of Prudz, obviously he is a car god if you havent noticed, he knows all, and should be questioned by none. He prob works at a gm dealership to and gets a killer deal on the unsold sunfires, so good that he could just buy them and turn around and flip them, since he would be useless at maintainance, look at when he tried to do the clutch in his lude
:lol: |

i worked at capital dodge jeep in 2005, all i have to say about that place is it is hurting, and all the cars were hurting. The chargers were fun to drive though and actually felt stable. The cars there weren't that bad, dodge actually is better quality imo than a hyundai. I worked at toyota in 2005-2006, and erickson nissan infiniti 2006-2007. like i said, mr. erickson owned/owns (not sure anymore) northstar hyundai. I have driven 100's of types of vehicles and out of all of them hyundai is shit imo. I don't work at dealerships anymore.
Jason, as much as i know you love going around trying to bug me i think you should realize that with this arguement my arguement has credibility based on how many cars i have been able to compare them to.
You sound like you are down with hyundai :p maybe you should do an N/A tiburon and throw some nitrous at that.:dunno: |

You did? I remember something about all the new cars you drive, like Sunfires. Go back and try again.
Actually don't. It really doesn't matter at all. |

clearly you don't know what you are talking about. Mr. Erickson owned northstar hyundai when i worked at infiniti (not sure if he does anymore) and when i had to go pick on of those cars up, holy crap. They feel like complete shit compared to toyota or hondas. Don't just read about them, go drive them, then come back and tell me that they are high quality vehicles.
Actually I dont think you are very familliar with them, You have driven what 20 km in each? Ive been working on cars for over 15 years, i am also a journeyman mechanic. I also know many people at the hyundai dealership and thier experinces are much different then yours. I know the head mechanic at the west end hyundai dealership and after reading your post he figures you must have been a lot boy or something because he has no idea what your talking about. Maybe you should look up the Jd power specs and see for yourself. I work on all types of cars everyday and i have yet to have to fix anything major or the new hyundais but i seem to have a damn civic in here at least every week :dunno: I also just did a motor in a 02 tacoma last week :dunno: I guess my experience is just different then yours. To each their own i guess :beer: |

20km in each? try thousands of km's. You obviously have no clue how much driving a lot attendant has to do. As a mechanic your 20 years of driving the cars 20 meters from the parking lot into the bay and road tests means you probably come close to the amount i had to drive. Odds are you have a bit more on me but seriously, the amount i had to drive those cars was rediculous. it was like a 10 hour driving day everyday.
Head mechanics are biased, just like everybody defending anything from nissans, hondas, lexus, it doesn't matter. I guess i find it funny that i can piss so many people off by saying hyundais suck :lol: |

ahoy matie!!! look at this beautiful ship, that long broad bow make navigating the chanels of the panama cannel a dream. And with the weight so heavy in the water it keeps this girl steady and a cruise ship.
But what is this I see but some Rare JDM magic Core racing wheels my god what a sleeper of a ship. It must be from the shore of japan, and make a mockery of our fine canadian coast guard |
