Car buckled like acordian in crash

this car is made out of nothing. Side impact at 40 mph completely crushed this car. Would not recommend this car to anyone. . . Not safe at all

What was I thinking

Did my homework, bought this vehicle due in large part to the looks and the high reviews that it recieved.. Opps, what was I thinking... with 470 miles the check engine light came on... Guess what they found metal in the oil pan. Yes you guessed it a new engine in a car with 470 miles. I will say that I'm very empressed with the Sonata as I have been driving it for the past 3 weeks.

sporty car

My wife and I both bought new 2008 tiburons and really like them. There sporty little cars with great handling and great looks. The warranties are the best in the industry and we are glad we made the purchase.

Cute Car, Not so Comfortable for Big People

I love my Tiburon. My only complaints are that the visibility isn't fantastic from inside the car and it's not a comfortable car for larger people. I'm not big but my large male friends aren't all that comfy in this car... the backseat is ok for kids but very uncomfortable for adults. Despite this, it's a great car.

Dont buy this car warranty is horrible

The car is quite appealing to the eye and when it is running is a fun little car to drive. however my transmission went out on it with about 1100 miles on it..not a misprint it really is 1100 miles...they put a remanufactured transmission in my brand new car and basically told me to deal with it.. so unless you want a new car with used parts on it i would buy another car.. looks to me like they try to cut corners and put the cheapest parts they can get to replace ones that break down...good luck if you buy one.
