 The tiburon is a great car, but it depends on which one you have.  The GT's have a lot of issues with the transmissions (clutch, flywheel, shift forks, etc.), but these can all be delayed (if not prevented entirely) by not driving the car like a Ferrari. I bought the SE because it had more options and creature comforts (I live in the northeast, so the mirror defrosters are especially handy.)  The car feels heavy in fast turns, but that is only how it feels.  Once you get the hang of the seemingly slow steering and the delay on the clutch, you really start to enjoy the sporty feel of the extra notchy 6-speed gearbox.  Bottom line, it feels like an expensive sportscar in an import's clothes.
