I think they look better in pictures. I saw one at the dealership and they look too flat Either way they arent bad looking to me. But I think I saw the sticker at like $30k+. (Not sure if there is a higher model than what you are looking for)

i think it would be a solid choice. i remember hearing something about the engine in the 2.0T being a bit course, but other than that it looks and acts the part

I like the rear end of that car but It's a Hyundai so I wouldn't buy one.

I've had a couple friends that have owned Tiburon's in the past and they always had issues. Plus I've had a rental car or two, even the V6 sedan (forget the name) and had a door handle fall off in my hand.

Maybe I just ran into the lemons but first impressions weren't favorable.

yea, the V6 (3.8L) Trim can get pretty Pricey. The ones I'm looking at are 2.0T.

Well, from what I read, it share the common block code with the EVO's block, but somewhat different. I've seen people upgraded the Turbo, piping, FMIC, and retuned and got >350whp DD and track for about a year already.

I see where you're coming from, but I'd rather not generalize things though

Not really, they're just like Ford Mustang over here.

Yea, they were "pretty bad" from back then. But with the new warranty and assurance program, may be worth a shot?

I know what you mean. The interior quality is still "crappy" though. But I guess you can always upgrade it later since I usually don't keep the car stock for long. Plus, it's going to be better than my current 94 Accord for a DD :P
