 The tiburon has sufficient power to put you back in your seat.  The shifter feels loose even while in gear.  The car has problems taking off when the rpms are higher than 3000.  The clutch is grossly inadequent if you plan on taking to the races.  The car comes alive with a few small engine mods.  This car has tons of features for the price and will beat alot of the competitors in this class.  The ride on the highway is remarkably smooth for this type of sport compact car.  There are 2 seats in the back of the car, but are not comfortable for a person taller than 5'5".
