 i've got a 5 speed silver 2001 tiburon at thanksgiving. i first fell in love with the tib as one sailed past me on the highway earlier in the year, and for the same money, i'd much rather have the tib than a civic. better customer service, the car is so much fun, better warranty, and i'd rather have a unique tib than the same old civic or corolla. it is zippy, can keep up with just about anyone, the stereo is great, it responds well, it gets good gas mileage (usually about 28 mpg).
