If you're on the hunt for something a bit more interesting than the usual mass-market coupe, consider the Hyundai Tiburon. The restyled 2007 model sports a perky new look, and the optional V6 delivers brisk acceleration. V6 models start under $20,000 as the Hyundai Tiburon GS, making the Tiburon a compelling alternative to a two-door Honda Civic or Pontiac G5.
Performance-oriented driving enthusiasts should save up and look elsewhere; as serious acceleration and top-notch handling go, there's much better bang for a few more bucks. This marks the second time the front-wheel-drive Hyundai Tiburon Coupe has received a face-lift since the current generation bowed in early 2002. Besides the bumper, headlight and fender revisions, the top-of-the-line Tiburon SE promises sharper handling and, for the first time in a Tiburon, an. Other trim levels include the base GS, GT and GT Limited.
All except the GS have the V6. I tested an SE with a manual transmission. Going & Stopping The GS starts with a 138-, 2.0-liter four-cylinder, while other trims get Hyundai's 2.7-liter V6, good here for 172 hp. Both engines team with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic with a manual-shift mode. The Tiburon SE comes with a six-speed manual. With 181 pounds-feet of on tap at a relatively low 3,800 rpm, the V6 delivers sprightly acceleration from a standing start through much of the rev range.

The Tiburon SE comes with a six-speed manual. With 181 pounds-feet of on tap at a relatively low 3,800 rpm, the V6 delivers sprightly acceleration from a standing start through much of the rev range. There's some modest if you push the car hard, but it never overwhelms the driving experience. The engine runs out of steam well short of its 6,500 redline, so keep the tachometer between 2,000 and 5,000 rpm for continuous power. Although the lacks the ferocity of a V6 Mitsubishi Eclipse or the high-revving punch of a Volkswagen GTI, it feels a few steps quicker than the four-cylinder Eclipse — or Scion tC, for that matter — and it should prove beefy enough for anyone used to a non-performance car. Shifting gears is something of a mixed bag.
The gearshift's throws are a bit long, and those accustomed to snappy footwork will bemoan the lengthy clutch. Some of our drivers objected to the near-dead pedal feel and abnormally high engagement. Still, the accelerator is sensitive enough for any novice to rev-match like a pro. I'm abysmal at heel-and-toe shifting, but those who do it should have no complaints, as the gas and brake pedals are positioned fairly close together. Brakes are standard. The Tiburon SE adds red calipers and 12-inch, cross-drilled front discs, versus 11-inch plain discs in other trim levels. The discs are cross-drilled to enhance cooling and theoretically yield better resistance to.
I couldn't detect any fade after repeated hard stops, but the brakes never stood out as exceptionally strong for this class. The 2007 Hyundai Tiberon V6 Coupe with a six-speed manual transmission gets an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 19 mpg combined.
It gets an estimated 16 city mpg and 24 highway mpg. Ride & Handling Depending on pavement conditions, the front-wheel Hyundai Tiburon's handling ranges from respectable to troublesome. The Hyundai Tiburon SE offers a track-tuned version of the standard car's front and rear suspension, and it allows minimal.
Most trim levels come with 17-inch wheels and all-season tires, and they deliver excellent grip — so much that I had to double-check to make sure they weren't summer tires. The steering wheel renders lifelike response without too much power assist, but it lacks the lightning-quick precision that sets cars like the Mazda3 apart. Take to the corners, and the tends toward slight. It's remarkably neutral at its limits, never plowing wide too soon, as many front-wheel-drive cars do.
The electronic stability system is a willing companion — it permits some understeer and reigns things in only as the rear wheels start to slip. Hit a bump with the steering wheel anywhere off center, and things quickly unravel. The wheels will hop over any bumps while you're making gradual curves, and in tight corners even the slightest rut sends the front tires dancing. This isn't a deal-breaker for more modest drivers, but anyone looking to carve corners will want to consider a vehicle with more refined manners. Ride comfort is minimal in the SE. The suspension makes for plenty of road noise on the highway, and it packs a brittle wallop over potholes and speed bumps. Other trim levels have softer tuning and presumably a more tolerable ride, so be sure to test drive one of them for comparison.
The Inside The Hyundai Tiburon's four-passenger cockpit had a trendy vibe when it appeared several years ago. Successive tweaks have had mixed results. The fog and hazard light controls now have flush finishes that would impress a Lexus driver, the dashboard has soft-touch materials and the blue and white gauges look sharp at night. Then there are the clinkers: Last year's standard stereo has been swapped for an aftermarket Kenwood unit that looks and sounds like it was installed at a local electronics shop, and both the GT Limited and SE trims have some garish-looking red leather upholstery.
Amenities like steering-wheel audio controls and an auxiliary jack for MP3 players are conspicuously missing, too. Those of larger build will find the cabin a bit snug. The front seats have aggressive side bolsters that pin love handles in place, and the optional hogs an inch and a half of headroom. I'm 5 feet, 11 inches tall, and my moonroof-equipped test vehicle left me with a case of hat hair more than a few times. Visibility is characteristic of most sports coupes, with a low roofline and high dashboard limiting views out the front and side. The narrow make for a reasonably modest blind spot — something that can't be said for the Eclipse, among other Tiburon competitors.
Leave the backseat for the kids. There's minimal legroom once front-seat passengers are situated, and with the rear hatch closed, headroom for adults is scant. Safety As of this writing, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety had not crash-tested the Hyundai Tiburon. Standard safety features include all-disc antilock brakes, as well as dual front and seat-mounted side-impact airbags. The Tiburon SE adds and an electronic stability system. Side curtain airbags are not available, and there's nothing in the way of for backseat passengers. Features & Pricing Without the destination charge, prices range from $16,695 for the four-cylinder Hyundai Tiburon GS to $22,095 for the V6 SE.
Add $1,100 to trade the five-speed manual transmission for an automatic on most trim levels; a six-speed manual is the sole choice for the SE. At $16,695, the GS includes power windows and door locks, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, fog lights and 16-inch alloy wheels. It also comes with the awful Kenwood CD stereo, and anyone who wants cruise control will have to cough up $1,150 for the Premium Package, which also includes a moonroof.
The $19,395 GT has a more attractive factory CD stereo, as well as the 2.7-liter V6, cruise control and 17-inch alloy wheels. The seats come in a leather and cloth combo, and it's the only trim level where the leather is black. The $21,695 GT Limited adds red leather seats, a moonroof, automatic climate control and an Infinity six-CD stereo. The $22,095 SE adds a track-tuned suspension with upgraded brakes, an electronic stability system, a larger rear spoiler, auxiliary dashboard gauges and a six-speed manual transmission. Unfortunately, it also reverts to the Kenwood stereo and red leather and cloth seats, and it loses the automatic climate control and moonroof.
The latter is a $900 option. Tiburon in the Market Hyundai says just over half of all Hyundai Tiburon buyers choose the four-cylinder GS.
No doubt they like the vehicle for its fetching looks, generous warranty and long list of standard features. Tiburon GT buyers — the second-largest group, according to Hyundai — get the peppy V6 and a friendlier cabin to boot. I can't recommend any of the higher trim levels, as the engine and suspension lack the refinement to play in the same league as a GTI or V6 Eclipse. If you want the cachet of a sports coupe with some extra zip, consider the sub-$20,000 Tiburon GT. If you have the cash for something more, get something more — from someone else.

Often called a basic warranty or new-vehicle warranty, a bumper-to-bumper policy covers components like air conditioning, audio systems, vehicle sensors, fuel systems and major electrical components. Most policies exclude regular maintenance like fluid top offs and oil changes, but a few brands have separate free-maintenance provisions, and those that do offer them is slowly rising. Bumper-to-bumper warranties typically expire faster than powertrain warranties. What is a Powertrain warranty? Don't be misled a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty doesn't promise a decade of free repairs for your car. It typically covers just the engine and transmission, along with any other moving parts that lead to the wheels, like the driveshaft and constant velocity joints. Some automakers also bundle seat belts and airbags into their powertrain warranties.
With a few exceptions, powertrain warranties don't cover regular maintenance like engine tuneups and tire rotations.

It was available in a few foreign markets with engine choices of either 1.6L or 1.8L. In the United States, the Tiburon was first offered in 1997 with base models using the Elantra's 1.8L 130 hp (97 kW) engine while the upscale FX received a 2.0L. The 2.0L was rated at 140 hp (104 kW) at the crankshaft (the car's manual specifies 102 kW (137 hp) at the flywheel). Base weight was around 2,550 lb (1,150 kg), giving the RD Tiburon a higher power-to-weight ratio than the newer GK 2.0L.
The 2.0L produces a 0–60 mph time of 8.3, with a 1/4 mile time of 16 seconds. In 1998 the Tiburon lost its weaker 1.8L engine, giving both models the 2.0L.
All versions of the Tiburon manufactured from 1996 to 2002 are known as 'RD' Tiburons. The suspension was co-developed with Porsche. Its appearance was a revival of ', popular during the 1960s and 1970s.
There were various options, with or without ABS, 2, leather, and. RD Special Editions (UK) – F2 and F2 Evolution Various special editions were also produced, focusing primarily on cosmetic modifications and improvements. In the UK, Hyundai's entrance into the Formula 2 saw the release of the 'F2' and 'F2 Evolution' models in 1998 and 1999 respectively. Hyundai Coupe F2 (1998–1999, UK) The 'F2' (non Evolution) was released in July 1998. Only available in the UK, the 'F2' model sold approximately 1100 units in total during 1998 and 1999, (making the 'F2' a slightly rarer model than the 'F2 Evolution' which followed). An enhanced version of the UK-spec 2.0 SE, the 'F2' was available in a choice of three colours; Black (solid), Bright Silver (metallic), or Racing Blue (mica).
(This latter colour, a vivid bright blue, was unique to the 'F2'; no other Hyundai models were ever made available in Racing Blue (mica)). The 'F2' modifications included 16' diameter x 7.5J multi-spoke DTM-style alloy wheels. These wheels were fitted with carbon-fibre effect centre-caps incorporating the 'F2' logo within. According to Hyundai's 'Coupe F2 Tyre Supplement Handbook', (supplied with each new Coupe F2), these wheels were described as 'Motorsport-style alloy wheels'.
The wheels were actually DTM, which were manufactured in England. These wheels were high-quality for an OEM alloy wheel, weighing only 17.6 lbs (8.0 kg) per corner and closely emulating the style of the Hockenheim R. Tyres were 225/40/16 P7000 directional, their 225 width and 40 profile made these the most aggressive standard-fit tyre supplied with any RD (or RD2) Hyundai Coupe. The 'F2' also featured a deeper and more aggressive front spoiler, incorporating an oval chrome mesh grille insert.
There was also 'F2' badging on the front wings and rear valance, an uprated CD/tuner stereo by Sony (CDX C5000R with RDS), 'Coupe F2' monogrammed aluminium kick plates, a unique leather-and-aluminium gearstick and a discreet 'Coupe F2' badge on the ashtray fascia. The front carpet mats were inlaid with rectangular silver-coloured 'Coupe F2' badges.
According to the Hyundai Coupe F2 brochure, total on-the-road price was £17,999 (as of July 1998). Two further items were available free to the first five-hundred Hyundai Coupe F2 buyers. Firstly, there was a large aluminium-bound 'F2' art book, (including various artistic photographs and designer images of the Coupe F2).
These books were signed inside by rally driver Kenneth Eriksson, (one of Hyundai's drivers in the F2 World Rally Championship at the time). Secondly, there was an aluminium key-fob, fitted with an LED light and supplied in a small silver-coloured box labelled 'Lexon Design Concept'. Both of these items were packaged together in a large silver cardboard box with 'F2' printed onto the lid.
These items were supplied by the dealer upon collection of the new car. During 1998, there was prominent press and billboard advertising in the UK to promote the new 'Coupe F2'. These advertisements incorporated the tag-line, 'On average, men think about the F2 every 6 seconds.' Hyundai Coupe F2 Evolution (UK) The 'F2 Evolution' became available on 14 June 1999, almost one-year after the 'F2' had appeared. The 'F2' was discontinued and the new 'F2 Evolution' effectively replaced it.
The 'F2 Evolution' was available with just two colour options, either Silver (metallic) or Cobalt Blue (metallic). It was intended as a limited edition of 1500 units, (though 1513 units were eventually produced). The design was led by stylist in conjunction with support company Motor Sports Developments (MSD). Standard 2.0 SE Coupes were delivered to MSD for mechanical and cosmetic modification.
These modifications included a bigger front bumper/spoiler, a modified (larger and higher) rear spoiler with end-plates (these spoilers were designed by Stevens to create zero lift rather than ultimate downforce), a high-lift inlet (taken from the 1997 1.8-litre Lantra engine) and a 6'x4' freeflow exhaust by Magnex (suppliers to ). Wheels were 16' diameter x 7.0J 5-spoke alloys manufactured by (with 205/45/16 tyres). There were 'F2 Evolution' badges on the front wings and rear valance. Vehicle security was provided by a Thatcham-approved Category 1 alarm/immobiliser system.
Inside, there was an uprated Sony stereo, 'Coupe F2 Evolution' monogrammed aluminium kick plates, thicker lambswool carpets and cream instrument dials incorporating 'F2 Evolution' logos. The front carpet mats were inlaid with silver-coloured circular 'Coupe F2 Evolution' badges. The armrest lid between the front seats was covered in stitched leather (rather than the molded plastic found on lesser models).
The gear leaver gaiter was of smooth leather, with a chrome trim surround at the base, manufactured. The gear-knob was of a unique design and had a chrome finish. Additionally, new brake pads were co-developed for the F2 Evolution by MSD and, these new pads provided better 'bite' and improved fade resistance. The mechanical changes were limited to the camshaft and exhaust improvements. Together these modifications saw an increase in power to 154 hp (115 kW) and torque to 140 lb⋅ft (190 N⋅m). Each car was supplied with a metal MSD badge.

This was fitted onto the bulkhead inside the engine bay. This badge displayed the MSD build number of each particular conversion to 'F2 Evolution' spec. Unlike with the previous year's 'F2' model, this time no dealer-supplied art-book was supplied.
However, a range of 'F2 Evolution' lifestyle accessories were made available through Hyundai dealerships, such as 'F2 Evolution' branded pens, chairs, clothing and umbrellas etc. According to Hyundai's product-launch literature, total on-the-road price for the 'F2 Evolution' was £19,299 (as of June 1999). RD2 (1999–2001). Hyundai Coupe (RD) The RD2 Tiburon is an update on the original RD platform and was released for sale in 1999.
The RD2 received a facelift that altered the front and rear bumpers and also provided a refreshed interior dash. In South Korea, the RD2 Tiburon was marketed as the 'Tiburon Turbulence'. The RD2 headlights have separate enclosures for the high and low beams giving the four headlight look, similar to and.
The rear bumper is also reformed receiving larger taillights. The same 140 hp (104 kW) 2.0L engine was carried over producing identical performance., leather seats, and a were available in a package, but oddities such as a car with cloth seats and a sunroof, but no fog lights or spoiler, are not unheard of. Engineering. 1.6 L inline-4-cylinder DOHC Beta 111 hp (83 kW; 113 PS) @ 5800 rpm and 143 Nm (106 lbft) torque @ 4,500 rpm. 1.8 L inline 4-cylinder Beta (1997 Base) 130 hp (97 kW; 132 PS) @ 6000 rpm and 171 Nm (122 lbft) torque @ 5000 rpm. 2.0 L inline 4-cylinder Beta 1CVT (1997 FX, 1998–2001) 140 hp (104 kW; 142 PS) @ 6000 rpm and 180 Nm (133 lbft) torque @ 4800 rpm. From 1997 to 1999 The Tiburon was offered with a 5-speed manual transmission standard, while a 4-speed automatic w/ overdrive was optional.
Performance. 1.6-litre: Acceleration 0–60 mph: 10.8 seconds Top speed: 115 mph (185 km/h) (Auto) 120 mph (193 km/h) (Manual). 1.8-litre: Acceleration 0–60 mph: 9.0 seconds Top speed: 126 mph (203 km/h). 2.0-litre: Acceleration 0–60 mph: 8.0 seconds Top Speed: 126 mph (203 km/h) (Auto) 131 mph (211 km/h) (Manual). 2005 Hyundai Tiburon (GK MY05) V6 (Australia) In 2005 Hyundai facelifted the Tiburon and reshuffled the model lineup; offering GS, GT, and SE models. The SE was now a separate trim from the GT models.
Hyundai's four-cylinder engine went into the GS, while the other two held the 2.7-liter V6. A five-speed was standard. A four-speed automatic with a manual shift was optional for GS and GT models, but the SE had exclusive use of a six-speed manual gearbox. Anti-lock brakes was standard on the SE and optional for the GT coupe, which could be equipped with leather upholstery. GS coupes rode on 16-inch wheels, versus 17-inch for other models.
All-disc brakes and front side airbags were standard. Anti-lock brakes were made standard on all 2006 model Tiburons. In the UK, three models were available before and after the 2005 facelift: the 1.6S, 2.0SE and V6. The 1.6S had a single exhaust and leather seats were optional, although following the 2005 facelift half-leather seats were standard. Both other models have twin exhausts and leather seats as standard.
The six-speed gearbox was also standard on the V6 model. A popular modification saw owners of the first GK model removing the air-filter resonator box. The resonator box was located directly in front of the front left hand side wheel, behind the fender. This allowed for a greater airflow to the air filter, gaining a minimal increase of (bhp). Hyundai, seeking cost cuts, adopted this modification for 2004+ models.
Hyundai also released a new color for their 2006 Tiburon called Regatta blue, between Tidal Wave blue and Midnight blue, which is Metallic. This color is also available for the 2007 Elantra and Tiburon. After 20 years, due to lagging sales, Hyundai discontinued the sale of this historically poor performing vehicle.
The company was left with factory ground stock units estimated in the thousands, and no dealers were willing to purchase these already one year old units for sale on their lots. Not until Feb 2009, when one enterprising general sales manager, Stephen Mark Staton, Jr.
Of Savannah, GA devised a plan to remarket the vehicle was Hyundai able to relaunch sales until its final retirement. Although other dealers followed suit and tried to mirror this success, Staton set a record for Tiburon sales worldwide.
In Greece and perhaps other countries, due to high taxation in hi-displacement engines, a 1.6-liter Turbocharged engine was available for some years, producing 145 PS(107 kW)/5800 rpm and 190 Nm (128 lbf)/4300 rpm of torque and making the 1233 kg vehicle capable of accelerating 0–100 (0–60 mph) in 9.3 seconds and achieving a top speed of 210 km/h (131 mph). Fuel consumption was 6.4L/100 km (36.8 mpg). GK F/L (2005–2006). 2006 Hyundai Tiburon (US) Hyundai conducted minor tweaks to the 'GK' model in 2005, for the outgoing named 2006. The vehicle incorporated reworked sleeker blackened 'smoked' headlights, redesigned rear tail lights, more aggressive front air dam, a different range of alloy wheel designs, colored stitching on leather seats (half leather seats available for the 1.6 range). In 2006, Hyundai released the GT Limited Model. This was an upgrade from the GT V6.
It included an upgraded tan leather interior, automatic climate controls, a 440w Infinity 6-disc in with 10', an upgraded gauge cluster, and side markers. The GT LTD came in black, Blue, and midnight blue.
GK F/L2 (2007–2008). 2007–2008 Hyundai Tiburon (US) A more comprehensive facelift was launched in 2007, named the Coupe SIII in markets such as the UK, this time altering the appearance of the car enough to designate it the fourth generation or GK F/L2 reminiscent of the RD1 and RD2 denotations. The headlights are thinner and angled more aggressively; somewhat similar to the original Tiburon headlights with more straight/sharp lines.
Hyundai Accent 2018 Manual Transmission
The tail lights are similar to the RD2 and GK1 but are somewhat smaller and reflect an aftermarket styling. The fenders lose the 'gill fins' and other small changes are seen. The interior is updated with brushed aluminum accents, new blue backlight scheme for gauges and instrumentation and new seats.
Hyundai later introduced the limited, special edition TSIII (UK). This upgraded, limited edition included quilted leather interior with embroidered logos, stiffer sports suspension, quad exhaust exit pipes, a higher level rear spoiler and an anthracite finish to the alloy wheels. The performance of the TSIII remained the same as the SIII. This is the last model made. ^ Daniel Patrascu (31 March 2009).
