2006 Hyundai Tiburon consumer reviews

I bought my 2006 Hyundai Tiburon brand new it's a 4 cylinder manual I have 88,000 mi on it I do not drive it that much keep it in the garage but I have yet to have done a major repair the car has been very good to me the only thing that ever happened to the car was my front passenger wheel bearing went out many years ago other than that I've only done maintenance on the car it's a pleasure to drive it's extremely reliable

I am the original owner of my 2006 Tib. It's always been garage kept and looks as good as the day I purchased it brand new . Being a mechanic I always keep up on all the maintenance. Not one drop of any fluid has yet hit the floor . Since 2006 the one and only issue I had was a front wheel bearing. I love my car and plan to pass it on one day . Body style and interior easy to love Road handle is tight . Only issue is that I got the manual 2.0 which is very underpowered. Still all in all when I do take it out for a ride people always compliment me on the car . I truly love this car. It's been very good too me. One last thing in my purchase defense, My wife bought one and I was with her the day she did , and my Tibby was the last one on the lot , it was meant to be Lol......

I have owned the Tiburon since 2006. It is the best car that I've ever owned and probably ever will own. The experience of driving this car is second to none. It drives as if you're in the cockpit of a plane. You're sitting very low to the ground and your seat is molded to your body. My Tiburon was secondhand from a gentleman who served in Iraq and was not able to come back. So for those reasons he sold the car in June of 2008. It was by divine intervention only that I put a note on the window under the windshield wiper with my name and number to buy the vehicle. The car came with several features that were standard. Some of these features were intermittent wipers, heated mirrors, six CD changer with am and FM radio and cassette player built in. It also came with a subwoofer and a great Infinity stereo. It is only been since 2016 that the subwoofer stopped working. But they're still great sound out of the speakers. My Tiburon came standard as a V6 GT model which was purchased in the United States. The standard interior came with black leather seats with red Center inserts, leather door panels and a leather wrap steering wheel and shifter. All the leather seats in the back and front and all interior that was leather had red stitching. It also has a 50/50 split back seat which allows you to carry a lot of things that occur normally wouldn't carry. It served almost as a small truck. The car is very eye-catching with its silver exterior and black tinted glass. It also came with a sunroof and fog lights. The car has a very peppy V6 GT engine that came standard with this model. Most of the original parts are still on the car. I've just started repairing and replacing new parts in 2022. Overall the car has tilt steering, cruise control, ABS brakes, and it also has shifttronic. This comes in very handy if you're in snow or on ice. Overall my car has been a godsend and I've been very blessed to have a car that works and handles so well. I drove from San Antonio Texas back to Nova Scotia and this car was perfect for driving. I didn't receive a tired back or any pain in my body from driving. When driving the Tiburon it's like being in the cock seat of a plane but you're very low to the ground. The seats are very comfortable with a lumbar support and they are tilted to shape your body. Tall or shorter people are still comfortable in this car. Has a lot of leg room but you can also get close enough to the steering wheel if you're shorter. It also helps that it has tilt steering and cruise control which gives you the ability to relieve your back of strain from constant acceleration. My car has saved me thousands of dollars and I haven't had a car payment since 2002. When I bought this car private sale I bought it with cash and I received an excellent deal which gave me the opportunity of buying it out right. As I said before I was very blessed and it was a perfect situation where the car was basically handed to me. I hope this review has helped a few people but I know my car has served me very well and I've been blessed! I forgot one thing to let the readers know my car is a V6 GT model from USA. It's wired totally different than the Canadian models. In 2006 this car cost $27,000 plus tax USA. I bought it for almost a third of this cost. Very very blessed from the man upstairs!

This was a gift to my wife. When we started our family we traded her's in. I made a promise that when I was in a position to get her one I would do it.

Absolutely loved this car since the day I bought it 10 yrs ago. Very strong & peppy with great handling. Hwy mileage 31mpg. Stunning looking and really grabs peoples attention. Did oil changes regularly and maintenance as scheduled. Never had any issues with this vehicle.

Like to start off by saying that I enjoy flipping cars for profit and started my journey trading my first 08 tib gs a few years back and in the meanwhile i have owned over 40 different cars finally ending back with a 2006 gt! The tiburon is the best car I have ever owned. So unique and well made compared to its competition of its years. The body is timeless and the interior was heated seat shy of lexus and bmw of its years on inside quality. The car handles extremely well and is a fantastic winter daily with a couple of studded tires on the front if you live in a state that gets lots of snow like i do. My 06 Tiburon currently has 182,xxx miles with a recent valve cover gasket repair and 0 current maintenance required! My first tiburon had 165k when i sold it after driving it for 95 thousand miles only needing to replace the clutch and brakes once! These cars are beyond reliable. These cars were made at a time Hyundai was seriously trying to fix their bad name and made some very quality cars as seen so underrated to many even yet today

The 2006 Tiburon is the sleekest and sharpest of the model years, and looks like it should be newer than it is! The interior is somewhat small, comfortable for two passengers, but not a lot of leg room for backseat passengers. Very large trunk space! Folding rear seats and removable trunk cover for even more room. Great reliable car and gas mileage.

My 2006 Tiberon keeps running because of the excellent service that I receive from VICTOR and the staff at Hyundai of Palatine. 249,000 miles. Victor and the staff make sure the tTeron receives a 27 point safety check every time the oil is changed...which averages every three month!!

THIS CAR IS PERFECT FOR DRIVING ,HAS GREAT SPORT STYLE ,RELIABILITY WITH A UNIQUE DESIGN . A LOT OF WORK DONE FOR OVER A YEAR DOING MANY UPDATES AT THE END IS BEAUTIFUL

I have owned a tiburon se for over ten years with no major malfunction occurring.. the only problem I had was the timing belt broke , and that was my fault for not following recommended guidelines.. so I would suggest being prompt with recommended servicing ..
