 I purchased my Tiburon new and with the exception of one factory recall for a seat belt issue, I have had no problems.  I have a five-speed 6 cyl, and get great fuel mileage, both in city and long distance driving.  I have the required maintenance done and with 45,155 miles on this baby I have only one complaint.  The low profile tires require replacing every two years or so.  This is not Hyundai's fault, its the tire manufacture that need to be more responsible in making a better "low" profile tire.  The AC, clutch, transmission, etc., has never given me any problems, and I've traveled back and forth to Canada several times with no problems or complaints. Great vehicle!
