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.

 

[ConceptVBS]

which tiburon are you referring to? the new tib or the 2001 and below?

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?

that's about it

i had a fuse blow for the ecu and my car stopped

My engine blew up in my 97 FX, got a new one for free, gastank recall and seat belt recall. That's all that has gone wrong with mine

He wants opinions, so I'll be honest. The first 2 1/2 years my car was awesome. Then my tranny blew. Dealer tried to tell me they wouldn't cover it under that lovely 10-year warranty thing. After a month and a half in the shop, I got my car back. Two weeks later, it ran like sh!t. I got it back today, plug wires (and maybe others) were replaced. Computer showed a misfire in cylinder #2 - duh! It runs fine now.

Don't get me wrong, I love my car and have absolutely no regrets what-so-ever on buying it. In fact, I am trying my A$$ off right now to buy a 2003 either this week or next. It is all up to what the dealer will give for my car, and how much I can talk them down (ha, yeah right.)<img src=/images/forums/snitz/uhh.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

All in all: he11 of a car. Buy the mofo, man!<img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0>

There was a gastank recall last year, something about the pressure cracking the tank. I got my new one put in, you should go to your dealer and see if they can do the recall yet.

I'm selling my first gen. E-mail me if you're interested.<img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0> If you don't want mine specifically, then definately get a first gen, IMO. I really like the body and they are GREAT cars. No probs yet and I've had it for a year.<img src=/images/forums/snitz/smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>
