Default Has anyone had problems with Their Tiberon?

I'm saving for a new car and I'm interested in getting a Tiberon and then customizing it. I have read reaviews and half of them reported problems with some parts and with the paint and the other half said they loved the car and had no problems. I want more opinions weather I shoulds get this car or get a different one.

I'm refering to any of the Tibs as long as its from 98-to now. Although I dont really like the way the new tibs have the lights stick out a little. Doesnt the 2003 tibs have different front lights that look similar to the older design?
