 I have owned 4 manual cars in my lifetime and have never had to replace a clutch until now.  I have had to replace the clutch on my 2008 Tiburon 2 times already and it has come out of my pocket.  Hyundai says the clutch is a normal wear and tear item and is not covered under warranty.  My alternator went bad a month ago and hyundai took care of everything.  If you buy this car get an Automatic or you will be kicking yourself later.  The car is truly fun to drive and the redesigned headlights make it look great.
