LABERDOO'S PAGE OF HYUNDAI TIBURONS

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I told my friends and family that we were buying a Hyundai, none of them got too excited about it. Most of them had never seen a Hyundai Tiburon before. All that they knew of were the really old Hyundais which have been said to have a "less than stellar reputation." However, when we finally brought home our red 1999 Tiburon SE, I think most of them were seriously surprised!
Tiburon is a spanish word meaning "Shark"! The 5-speed manual has a 0-60 time of 8.4 seconds and a top speed of 115 mph (184km).

 

Here are some pictures of our 1999 Hyundai Tiburon SE.

Unfortunately, one month after we got our car, our stereo was ripped off, which really sucked. It was a Clarion DRB5475. This model has a flip down removeable face but we were STU - PID and didn't remove it that day. We will NOT make that mistake again.
