Highly recommend, low repairs needed! Yes, there are quirks like the ABS light, seatbelt light, air bag light, sticky face plate around the radio, and the annoying brake light, but those are generally faulty sensor issues except for the strange stickiness that developed around the radio plate and buttons. The car will only need regular maintenance, and around 2010 or slightly later, to be safe, replace your belts, keep a bunch of fuses on hand because after the year 2015 the light panels etc related fuse items MIGHT need new fuses. They are cheap enough and any child can change the fuse saving you hundreds of dollars in repairs. Regular maintenance like replacing AC parts, cruise control, wipers, door window or locks, and moon roof motor might be common issues with age, but there were no major repairs. Rubber trim seemed to look old faster, but cheap enough for a DIY replace. Driving fast around corners is dangerous in this car, but otherwise the low maintenance on my 160k miles GT has been good to me. I've done a lot of my own repairs, sometimes with help, and I'm a 57 YEAR OLD NON MECHANICALLY INCLINED WOMAN! I love my car! Just give your car a good paint job to brighten it up, and keep your interior cleaned. My back leather seats still look great! Front seats do look worn with age and sun, but overall I am unable to part with my car! ?

Let's do this.. Let's go.. Only you and I.. Will ever know.
The hyundai is a small compact car that hugs the road at any speed like a long lost friend. Without telling any tales of past adventures the tiburon stylish look gives it away. It's smooth run seems to whisper, . 'Let's do this, lets go. I will not tell, no one . Will know'. . The '03 tribaron was brought to light in a dark midnight blue color. With that first test drive one knew it was going to own that title of 'let's do this, lets go'. Live life stopping only briefly to reflect, do not give in to temptation. Only to the tribaron.

Great car, great price and very reliable, my Hyundai Tiburon
Been driving this car for 16 years and still love it. It looks great and people still ask if it's a new car ! Very reliable, have had no major failures and replaced light bulbs and brakes etc due to wear and tear. Next new car will definitely be a Hyundai.

Getting rid of it.
Hell no. I bought my wife a 2003 gt with 35,000 miles on it and it's been a major pain. Everytime you fix something, another thing goes wrong. This car isn't even broke in yet. Piece of junk, trying to get her to sell it.

That its a mid size car, not so big or small.
I like that it's not too big or small. Sporty looking. I dislike that its low to the ground so I do not like driving it in the winter.

I think it is a good value and very long lasting. I think it is a good quality as well.
It is 15 yrs old and I have not had any major problems. I feel safe and that I can trust my car.

2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT Coupe
I own a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT, it has a 2.7 Liter engine and a 5 speed manual transmission. I have had some issues with the clutch, and it isn't the fastest or most practical vehicle, but overall it's reliable and fun to drive.

Sporty looking Hyundai Tiburon.
If you like sports cars you would love the Tiburon. Only thing I do not like about it is its low to the ground so driving it in the winter is a bad idea. Leather seats are really comfortable.

It's a great, sporty car with good styling and low maintenance.
The engine has lots of speed, there is a lot of style to the exterior, there are significant blind spots to the side rear of the vehicle, the gas mileage is pretty good for a sporty car, and the hatchback and folding seats allow it to carry a large load.

2003 Hyundai tiburon gt v6.
It is been a great vehicle. Minor issues... Just maintenance really. Gets good gas mileage. Some of the interior trim needs replacing. The paint has oxidized on the roof, hood, and hatchback. Otherwise, I would recommend it as a fun, reliable vehicle.

Very great brand never had any problems.
Hyundai is very reliable and economic in gas. Since it is a 4 cylinder car I do not spend much on gas which is great. It is fast and comfortable.

It is a great reliable car for any season.
I do not have any complaints about this vehicle that i can think of to be honest. I love that the car is a sporty and compact and that makes it perfect for me. The car comes equipped with a great sound system. I also love the handling, sunroof and fact that it is a hatchback.

This car is great! Even more so because it's a manual transmission and nobody can drive it but me
I absolutely love that I found one with a manual transmission. It's fast it's comfortable at handles well. The tinted sunroof is awesome. In fact the only thing I don't like about it is that the wiring in it is messed up so the air conditioner doesn't work properly, but I bought it used and it came that way, so I knew what I was getting into

Sporty car, great gas mileage in both highway and city.
Comfortable sporty little car. Gets excellent gas mileage and extremely comfortable seats for those long trips. Many upgrades can be done to the car. The only downfall I would say is the lack of space in the back seat. Other than that, I absolutely love the car and they can be found for cheap.

Could be better, could be worse.
It is been mostly reliable, and I am only recently having problems, but they're significant problems, so I cannot give it a higher score than somewhere in the middle. Problems include: electrical (passenger side door and window do not work) and overheating. There's also a lot of road noise (not a quiet drive at all).

Sharp looking, fast and very reliable
No problems, altho space is semi limited for a single person its ideal. Def not ideal for family. Great performance and good gas mileage great design. Still looks sharp. Winter time it ran great throw snow and ice. Yeah it did get stuck one time of two but with heavy snow. Trucks get stuck too. Great car. Might upgrade

The 03 Hyundai Tiburon gt is a great and reliable car.
Great vehicle however has some electrical problems that seem to be not just mine and the sunroof apparently seems to get off track and is not able to close causing it to jam up and have to be replaced. The vehicle is a good strong powerful vehicle and a smooth ride also hold great to the curves the slap shift feature is great.
