Biggish car with a clumsy name but wondering which is better the 2 litre or the 2.7litre.

Both pretty underwhelming IMO

I'd prefer an older Celica or Prelude in that type of car

The Shark. I thought they looked cool in magazines but in real life - only the gills appeal.

Thanks for the observations. But I wondered if anybody hadany actual experience with either engine. Common issues! I recall reading something about an issue with pre-2004 cars.2.7L should be a reasonable tower which would suit my purpose.

172hp from a 2.7L engine is pretty pathetic for a sports car, especially when it gobbles more gas than anything with VVt-i or I-VTECH of the same era. I've always liked the look, but those specs put me off.

use to drive my mates one.wanted to knock it,its a nice drive,good trip car ect,not a race car as such, but handles well,should be cheap by now,you could do worse. top gear liked it

yes they are relatively cheap, however they also seem to be stuck on dealers yards as well.looked at one the other day that has been there for 4 months. So If I buy oneits going to be mine for a while.

Remember to check out how much it can actually tow.

How it got its name.
Hyundai spouncer the Mongoose cycling team.Simon Tiburon is/was a top Mongoose BMX rider from England. Who was in the team when the car came out.
So there's a worthless bit of info for the day.

Being a Hyundai , probley one of thier faster cars. Never been in one only ever passed them.

Tiburn is Spanish for shark - hence the gills on the side.
trogedon, Mar 2, 4:03pm
I've already stated that.

Not a sports car, but haven't had any trouble with mine.
