2006 Tiburon-good buy?

Question

is this a good car

and is it good in snow and stuff

Answer 1

Non of HYUNDAI is good.  Hyundai has no quality at all. I will tell you something from my experience. I own a HYUNDAI Accent from 1998 and have only 92.000 klms (that would be about 65.000 miles). I also -and always- drive "gently". I don't drive fast, I don't accelarate strong, I don't go above 90 klms (70 miles) per hour because I want to have fuel economy.

HYUNDAI cars generally may be cheap to buy, seems to have enough good technical specifications and they're good looking. But I believe its not worth because:

a) it has poor construction quality,

b) it appears often mechanical and electrical malfunctions,

c) the fuel consumption usually is bigger than this described by its book,

d) it has expensive genuine parts so an EXPENSIVE SERVICE (something that interests you a lot, because you will have a high cost in the long term),

e) it burns lots of oils inside its engine (so, I have to carry always Oil with me, ...if you believe it!!! - the cost to fix it it's quite big for an unacceptable malfunction).

f) when I drive I hear sounds and “cracks” from the main body and the plastics of the car.

In the long term, I EXPERIENCED ALL THESE PROBLEMS. My opinion is absolutely NEGATIVE for HYUNDAI generally. When I will have to replace my car, I will not buy a HYUNDAI again (not only Accent, I mean any HYUNDAI). That's for sure! It's wasted money. Hyundai cars are worthless.

If HYUNDAI had quality, it would have it in 1998 and today (as a matter of principle). Often, the quality is better when someone has an older model, because every car industry by the pressure of lower cost, reduce the quality year by year. So, an older model is better in quality than a new model.

In the other hand, when a car factory is new in the game (as HYUNDAI was in 1998) makes better products because the Industry is not known (famous) and want to have costumers. As the years passing, they reduce the quality because they gain fans and size of sales. Fans have no brain. They want tell you the truth: they are fans. So, do not take HYUNDAI. Take any car, but first search the Internet for the owners -mostly negative- opinions, reviews, problems etc..

If HYUNDAI had done improvements in the quality of its cars at the last decade, then WHY THE RESALE VALUE of Hyundai cars is STILL VERY LOW ???

Anyone can say anything. I say that Hyundai cars are not worthing, some other says they worth. How someone can know if it is true and who is true? I will tell you.

The resale value of the cars balances by demand and supply. Someone finds the resale value at the secondary cars market. The whole market is formulating by demand and supply. We have all the Hyundai's owners and all the possible buyers. If we consider that demand is stable, we have the unstable factor "supply". The resale value is very low. WHY? Because the total of the already Hyundai owners are not sutisfied with their Hyundais and so, they want to sell their "good" cars and accept the low value that the buyers of the secondary market give them. Otherwise we can not have a low resale market value. The whole market shout to us that "HYUNDAI ARE NOT GOOD CARS". That's why they don't have good resale value. If they were good cars (today, not in 1998), their owners would appreciated and they wan't like to sell them. If they wouldn't like to sell them, the supply of used Hyundais would be small and... magically... the Hyundais would have better resale value. And we are speaking for today, not 1998.

Every one else that tells you that Hyundai are good cars, in my opinion:

>   he is an owner of Hyundai but doesn't have his car more than 5-6 years. For so long, Hyundais and any other car, usually have no problems. So, whoever has a Hyundai for 5-6 years can not have the same "power" opinion like this one that have a Hyundai for a long term like 10 years.

>   he is a fan, so he speaks as a fan (non logical)

>   he have something to gain (for examble maybe he's selling Hyundai)

Think of that: if you had a Hyundai, let's say for 5 years and till now you have no problems (so you were OK and happy for your choise), woul'd you find every Hyundai's topic on the "Yahoo! Answers" or any other car internet site or forum, and in every relative topic you woul'd wrote good comments about Hyundai? Is that logical? Think about it and search for the reasons that some guys do that...

Answer 2

Yes, they are great cars.

The only known problems for Tiburons are the clutch problems in the Manual transmission versions.

Overall, they are very reliable cars.

They handle very well. They have sport tuned suspensions.

They are not quick in a straight line, but they are still fun to drive and sound great.

The interior is great. It comes with lots of features standard and the interior quality is very good.

Answer 3

I have a 2003 and have found to found it a good car. By it performance I bough a Hyundai Azera and am very pleased by it. I have found the Tiburon very good in snow but keep in mind that the car sets low and will not go in deep snow... but no car like that well. Do not pay any attention to Sofpan as he know nothing about the newer Hyundai cars and know nothing. I can also say Toyota's are junk by the first Toyota I had... but of course my first one was when most people did not even know what a Toyota was. Would I say they are junk today,, don't think so, Just like Hyundai cars, they have improved and are proved to now be very good cars.
