If your first car you decided to buy on your own was a Tiburon. Do you have any regrets?
If it was something else, what were your final thoughts on that particular car?

My first car was the 2001 tiburon I decided to purchase myself. I have no regrets, minor complaint is on the noise while driving in cold weather. And people vandalising and critizing hyundai coz they are dumb peices of shits who don't know shit

the first car i bought was a 1994 Mustang, it was a piece of shit, i hated it..... i could not drive it fast without something breaking... like for instance i would race someone on the highway, and i would have to change the oil because it would begin to burn and the car would also need new brakes.... i am glad i got rid of it... the girl who bought has since put over 2000 dollars into it in repairs.... so i laugh at her... in the 8 months i have had my RD1 i have only put in around 400 bucks, i needed new front tires, spark plug wires and spark plugs all regular crap... nothing has really broken yet...

i love my tiburon... DIE FORD DIE

My first car was a 1967 VW Beetle. I loved it, and sold it about 2 years after I bought it. Then I bought it back about a a year and a half later. Then I sold it again. laugh.gif

My first car was a 2000 Elantra... it got totalled about a year ago, so I bought a 2000 Tiburon. Obviously an improvement!

my first car was a 1992 Mercury Cougar. i loved the thing, and still miss it, believe it or not. 3.8 V6, the thing hauled. always got up and went, even if i were on a steep incline...

unfortunately Ford put their worst transmission in those (and the t-birds of the generation) and it sh1t the bed 6 months after i got it. the water pump went also at the same time, so i elected to get rid of it

i needed a car right away because of that, but had no cash, so i was stuck w/ an 89 Olds Ciera. this past summer, the amount of work needed to keep the Ciera safe wasn't worth it, so i went to a dealership, test drove the tib and fell in love laugh.gif

My first car that I bought on my own was a 1989 Ford Escort 2-door 5-speed. It was bought to replace my first 89 escort that my mom bought for me [even though i eventually paid her back, I didn't pick it out]. The 2-door had 135k miles on it, and is still kicking to this day. That car could turn tight, it was peppy, got exellant gas mileage, and didn't scream "pull me over." If I'd not gotten such a good deal on the Tiburon, I'd have gotten an Escort GT [91-96]. They are very good cars, and their' Mazda engines have potential.

My ex-girlfriend's dad has 2 Supercharged Thunderbirds Check out Http://www.SCCOA.com/ for more information on those as well as the Cougar XR7's.
