Hyundai Tiburon Road Test
Introduction
Tall or portly people need not apply. But if you can fit in the Tiburon's cramped cockpit, you may find this coupe has a lot going for it. Based on the pedestrian Hyundai Elantra sedan, the Tiburon handles crisply and steers as responsively as many true sports cars. You may even forgive the Tiburon's stiff, noisy ride, a quality you expect in a sporty coupe. The seats are very firm, low, and narrow. And as in many such cars, the rear seat is tiny. The 2.0-liter, 140-hp Four provides eager acceleration and good fuel economy. The shifter is a bit vague, though. A facelift and some new interior details arrived for 2000.
