With an unmatched theft frequency index of 757, Hyundai's sporty Tiburon coupe was the most sought-after of all 2001 and 2002 models in Canada by car thieves.

Yeah that was the 2001-2002 years though (Yes I know there was no tib in 02 but there were still cars)
I don't remember seeing or hearing about any being stolen. I heard it's because of the cheap ignition's Hyundai used. dunno.gif
I think it's just cause any RD is sooo sexy that they just have to have it.
It's eh.....okay. tongue.gif

Still, at least there's hundreds of other cars that thieves prefer to Tibs.
Everyone needs a car alarm. Especially when you can get a basic one installed for $99 that will pay for itself in insurance savings. Although a lot of the cheap installs are exactly that.
A bigger problem where I live is vandalism and smash and grabs, something I'm much more concerned about than vehicle theft. A flashing LED might make them move onto another car, even if it's not a real alarm. Worth the few bucks IMO.
