• "If you can get past the looks, the Tiburon is a pretty solid car. The six-speed manual and V-6 aren't the best in the business, but they provide ample power. The seats are comfortable, and the standard equipment list isn't too shabby."—Automobilehttp://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/editors_notebook/0806_2008_hyundai_tiburon/index.html
• "Though the Tiburon has still not broken into the upper echelon of performance hatchbacks and coupes, its affordable price could make it a decent choice for both new and used vehicle shoppers."—Edmunds.comhttp://www.edmunds.com/hyundai/tiburon/review.html
