Cool do you recomend get one as my first car I'm 16

AlvaroU I have one that’s in need of fixing but still runs pretty good, it’s fast and buying parts for it isn’t much of an issue so it’s pretty good for a first time car owners and I’m 18 if it helps

@@alexandrobravo8724 Where do u live?

AlvaroU CA

@@alexandrobravo8724 I live in ALABAMA

The Genesis doesn't have after market support? Of course it does,u must not know what your talking about

Tiburon used to have lots of aftermarket parts when NGM was in business. They still have all NA parts - headers, exhaust, cams .... They only thing they lost is fully built engines to push 500whp and variety of SC and turbo kits.

I got mine with 58k miles for 1600 lol

Adrian Devora I said almost. And only really ment nowadays. Of course those cars have aftermarket support, but not nearly the amount of other cars unfortunately

Lol ye im about to buy one with 130k, 6spd and totally mint for $1200

I got mine in 2016 and I have 128k miles on it and I love my car man lol

Hey I'm a new tibby owner, same year gt v6 too. But I'm a little lost, to be honest I'm a 17 year old with a 2jz dream lol. But I love my Tiburon and want to start modifying it. It's a little late in it's life cycle at 120k miles on it. But it was owned by my grandpa before me so it's mainly highway and old man miles lol. I just did the timing belts, clutch, fly wheel all that jazz for around 2000$. But now I want to start modifying it. I don't want to turbo this thing or anything, it's a little late for that but. What would you recommend starting with? This question goes for anyone that views this lol

@@Connor-wf2zn join tiburon racing league on fb

Props.

@@Connor-wf2zn I'm 17 too and modified my tib

what would you say was the monthly repair costs?

@@reedy9427 Depending on how much you drive it, oil changes are gonna be the only monthly expense. Brakes every 6 months or so. Clutch also depends on your driving. But for the most part you'll get a lot of km without any major repairs. Hyundai is extremely reliable. Even my 2010 hyundai elantra has got me 460,000km and I've only done oil changes and brakes.

Well I'm sitting on 218k miles on my 06 Tiburon SE and my clutch is just now starting to go. Only major work has been a timing belt at 160k. Slightly modified and still a daily. Got it for $5k 10 years ago with 70k miles and have been all over the country in it now the only thing I hate is the cost to replace the seats because they are starting to rip totally my fault and I love the way the factory seats feel on long drives

No Name did you tune it? And did you tune it on stock ECU?

I didn't think these motors had enough meat in the cylinder walls to bore it out to a 3.0? Was always told that it was basically already bored out to 2.7 from factory.

It had an issue where the flywheel would break down and cause the clutch to grab. You would have to pump the clutch to get it out of gear. I had the clutch & flywheel replaced with aftermarket parts and it ran great after that. I had this car as a teenager and ran it so hard the exhaust fell off. Were talking redlining it minimum ten times a day for seven years, I would go through 1-2 sets of front tires a year. I still tell people how reliable it was for me.

are most of these parts universal or they made especialy for the tib? I want to supercharge mine but I cant even find an aftermarket intake manifold and bigger throttle body for it.

Damn - have a vin I could follow? Might wanna pick up that car when the owner is ready to sell.

That is misinformation. Porsche only helped with the suspension on the RD Hyundai Coupe. Not the Tiburon. Don't get me wrong, they still handle beautifully.

LMFAO

man i played this car in nfsu2 it has great handling Lol

Fastest car in nfsu

how much that run you?

dani perez I just bought an 07 tibby last week. Haven’t taken to naming her yet. But so far I love it. 6 speed manual with a smooth clutch. 😍

different car this is the GK hes talking about.not that little 4cyl

@@Tommyblueeyes I realize that, I am just stating that my car lasted all these years without problems

Lol those old tiburons are ugly as fuck

Very true but you are taxed into poverty for owning a 2.7l in the UK today.

Woah 900 euros thats like 1300-1500 dollars in American money

That is exactly how I feel about my Coupe. 112k miles on the clock but drove like a new car. Pulled away nicely, quiet at idle, economical on fuel, especially on motorways, and everything in it working and new-ish looking. even on budget tyres the fuel consumption and handling are very good. Not the best I've ever driven, but not too bad at all. I will definitely be buying another one.

Do you wanna sell this

How is the car now? Did it last past 100,000 miles?

i bought one with some rust any tips for getting rid of it

Make sure you keep up with the timing belt change it every 60k miles because its an interference engine and she will keep ruining like a champ

Ι'm 38 years old...married with two daughters....i bought it in 2004 and i still own it......(picture on the left),it's the 2.0 version......there is NOTHING NEGATIVE.....don't listen to shit!!!!!the car is amazing, the torque... the acceleration, the top speed (210km).....i'm very pleased with its performance and of course i'd never sell it no matter much my wife growls..........

@@eddie-g2143 Dude I own the 2.0 and the torque is pathetic. The thing only starts to think about getting out of its own way at 4k rpm

@@tannerhartl5175hey bro.... i forgot to mention that i've made a couple of mods....ECU chipping..... exhaust system replacement......and a pipercross free air flow filter in the stock filterbox!!

I'm wondering since I'm not Iranian do I have a special advantage where I'm pretty much guaranteed to not crash a Tiburon? I can think of a few other motorized transportation devices Americans don't want to see an Iranian driving..New Yorkers especially I would think.

@@justingaston4616 I dont see your point

i have an 06, and i also live in jersey, plan on doing something similar.

Bradley Richards Fantastic! Tibs are underrated. My 04 is solid. I wish they made more aftermarket parts for them. It’s hard to find turbo & supercharger kits for them. You can pice them together but that can be a pain in the Ass. I wish you all the best with your Mods! Later Bro!

I bouGht mine 5 days aGo......absolutely love it

I beg to differ; the timing belt was quite easy to replace with quite basic tools. The biggest problem was getting the crank bolt out, I wound up using a massive breaker bar and a flywheel locking tool, while some others would just wedge a breaker bar against the subframe and bump the starter. Past that, all you need is about $300 worth of parts in the form of a timing belt kit, MLS water pump gasket and a jug of coolant, along with a ratchet, a set of sockets, and a torque wrench. I could have the old belt off and the car back together, burped and ready to run in an afternoon. Really simple job compared to, for example, servicing the timing chains on the Nissan 350Z VQ35DE.

I can get an 04 gt spec Ed. For $1000. It's got sum dings, but is it worth it?

Dude I have the same exact car! The SE v6 6-speed. Haha nice do you also have the red and black interior? And how has it been so far after 9 months?

I have 128k miles on mine

I just bought one it's awesome

I got one all black in 2008 first car. Was the best, longest lasting car i owned. I miss it lol

BlackZero Rs Is maintenance easy for the car and are the after market (including factory) parts affordable as well as common, to replace?

@@tanicwhisper0647 Oh, it's so cheap to maintenance. The parts for my Tiburon are totally classic parts from Hyundai Elantra and some other Hyundai models around 2002 year. Also, some KIA models have the same parts. Don't worry... You can check that by simple go to the parts store and ask for random parts for Hyundai Coupe and you will see.... :-)

Agreed eclipse and Celica are the 2 immediate competitors that come to mind for the tib

Also the 99-02 Cougar as well very similar to this car in performance except its lighter and has a 5 speed instead of 6.

The comparison was regarding interior, not the hp

And the eclipse has 100 more horsepower.

False🤣 I’m currently looking at both

rudy torres ur definitely right bout the door handle both of mine broke off a week apart very cheap plastic handles

@@fatdomgomiello720 mine broke too but it only cost seven dollars on amazon to replace so no big deal

Yes door handles suck interior and exterior . Buy a used bcm off eBay or junkyard to fix faulty turn signals cost me 110 . Easy to fix

Jesse Solozano actually 274hp with turbo is a pretty nice set nothing crazy but pretty nice

The RSX is the best.

Glad your alive bro sheesh xD

Whhhat? Where did you buy one that cheap? All the ones in my area are around 5 k

@@112188Francisco In Alamosa, Colorado, where I live, is where I found it. After looking for a car for couple months, I'd seen this one on the side of the road with a for sale sign that said $2,750. Like I said, knowing nothing about this type of vehicle yet, I loved the way it looked. I called as the seller was walking in the door from putting in the For Sale sign. I practically bought the car sight unseen, and did well. I absolutely love that vehicle

that would be sick, go for it

had to do any maintenance? costly?

@@youtuby014 as long as you change your timing belt every 60 to 70k miles and dont forget to change your oil you will be golden ive seen them go over 300k miles

Shit car

I owned one before really nice car for reliability not fast tho .

You might as well do the Ford zx2 it's the same chassis with a 2.0 zetec and stiffer suspension. It's pretty much a sports edition of the protege

Great car! It actually is a gem.

hey man, what kinda shape is this car in now? I'm currently thinking about buying one around 140k miles, u think it would be a safe buy?

@@sikacreative It could be. I actually just recently sold mine. Before I sold it I ended up changing out the AC compressor and both front strut assembly's. The engine had a small oil leak as well. I say that I only had it in the shop once because I found it really easy to work on. Since it is an older car if you're comfortable working on the car I would reccomend it. I always found good resources online when I worked on mine.

@@Vash9384 yeah I'd totally be willing to work on it myself, I currently own a shitty volkwagen that's been a pain to work on, but I'm trying to find sompthing new

Lmao fr

Take the 357 out of the lock box and well yoi know

I got a 6 gen Celica gt and she is beast. it kills most cars on the streets . and if it doesn't beat the newer cars its an embarrassment to them that I can be right on there tail.

Kris Elkins all true, but people will defend it like no tomorrow. 🤷‍♂️

Ive never been let down by my GT. Nothing but reliable to me. Yours must be broken. And the only thing your mustang corners into is crowds.

Someone is salty. I have an 07 BMW 328xi that corners better than both. I have an 89 MX6 GT pushing 18psi that takes corners better than the Tibby. If you want to talk about reliability, I trust my mustang more than my Tiburon to make it to work, and it has 700,000 miles on the clock. Want to know what my mustang has on the Hyundai? Aftermarket support, accessible parts that don't cost way too much, it is extremely easy to work on, weighs 400 pounds less with double the power, and the insurance is extremely cheap in comparison. It will whip the Tiburon's ass in every scenario. But this isn't about the Mustang. I'm just letting you know that I know what I am talking about, and giving real world examples and explanations. The Tiburon's only appeal is its aesthetics. It flops in performance. The motor is peppy at best, but by no means is it a good motor for literally anything except point A to B driving. Your Tiburon may be reliable for you now. But mine is barely driving at 130,000 miles, and I definitely know how to maintain my vehicles. So come back with a real argument.

@@hellzturkey And you're saying I'm salty? Haha We all have our own preferences, you can keep your mustang. The truth is when I go to car shows Im never looking at the 100 people that brought their mustang. It gets old. I just prefer cars that are seen less often and have flair to them and the tiburon is one of those. I had a camaro before this and a 525i before that. Sure it doesnt corner like my beamer did, and doesnt have the power the camaro did, but I catch way more attention with my Tiburon and have spent way less to purchase and repair it. And I too know how to take care of my vehicles. I'm not sure why yours has been unreliable but if you read the comments and look up reviews on the car, most will agree, this car has been very reliable.

I have an 82 t-top GT with a cammed 302, go ahead and tell me you've seen more than one. They're very hard to find. It seems like the only things you are sticking up for with this car, are looks and cost of repairs. It is a very "cute" car, I'll give you that. In the same way a Celica is cute. Or in the same way an Eclipse is cute. Or the same way a Civic is cute. Even though all of the above cars listed have higher performance at their top trims, and have lower maintenance costs than the Tiburon (and god I hate saying a Celica or Eclipse is better than anything). And nothing, NOTHING on a Tiburon will be cheaper than it will be on a Camaro. Perhaps I did get a bad example of a Tiburon. But I hated the car long before it started breaking. I would rather drive a Miata for attention, at least people would actually think I enjoy driving. The Tiburon was specifically marketed toward young girls, and guys that think having a good looking car is all you need in the car community. But the driving experience, cost of ownership, and overly complicated maintenance of the car puts it in the same category as the Sonata in terms of "driver's car". It is an overweight, overpriced 2 door economy car that doesn't get economy car MPG's. So what is it for? It's for people who don't know about cars.

The only problem the engine has is its an interference engine just change the timing belt every 60k miles and these engine can run over 250k miles no problem with regular maintenance

Weak in power, but not weak as in will break down. It isn't fast but the UK is covered in cameras or gridlocked, so speed is unnecessary

Isaac Jordan no lol

hell nah wtf

He's right lol

Yup

Isaac Jordan yeah they say that but that’s bullshit, the genesis looks like a bigger version of the tiburon
