Hyundai Tiburon Road Test
Introduction
A redesigned Tiburon recently bowed as an early 2003 model. The new coupe offers a bit more interior space than its predecessor, but head room is meager, and the rear seat is very cramped. The cockpit is now more conventional and has a higher-quality feel. The top-of-the-line GT model offers a six-speed manual transmission with a fairly precise shifter. The GT's 2.7-liter, 181-hp V6 is smooth and refined but not extraordinarily powerful. Base models continue to use a 2.0-liter, 140-hp Four. Handling is fairly nimble, and the ride is stiff but tolerable.
