thorpe84 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 they are very fast cars! aparently they go faster then a twin turbo supra according to need for speed. jk nah they seem to be alright despite the hyundai badge. they dont look as bad as the old s'coupe and aparently have pretty decent handling.....for a korean sports car.

PM-R33 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 If its a female that wants one ok fair enough i can kind of understand that. But if its a male, what makes him want a Tiburon? Honestly i just don't understand why people actually go "Yes i want one of these cars". For the money there are much more sporty/faster/better built cars out there. So whats the appeal of the Tiburon? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/246746-hyundai-tiburone/#findComment-4295563 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKY 34 Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 hi peeps thanks for comment I found an article on tiburone, they are fuel guzzler due to bad gear ration, I think it was saying the car will be at 2.5k rpm at 100km, or sumthing. he's decided not to get riburone. cheers guys Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/246746-hyundai-tiburone/#findComment-4322477 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM-R33 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 He aint getting one because it uses a lot of fuel........the dude doesn't know the meaning of using a lot of fuel, get him to drive a heavily modified skyline for a few weeks to truely appreciate the word "fuel consumption".

JVP Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 my mum has one. the one before they updated it. its a good little car. manuals are better, my mums is an auto. a very shit auto, tiptronic that changes by itself and doesnt hold gears. other than that, its a good car to drive. and its pretty good on fuel too.
