Hyundai Tiburon

Well if you had been keeping up with my blogs the new Hyundai Tiburon, aka Tib, does not come close to competing with the cars that I have been writing about. Honestly I was really impressed with the 2007 model. A friend of mine has the top of the line model and I when I saw it from far away it looked nice, and as I got closer it looked even nicer. About the exterior of the car, first of all the 17'' wheels are really nice and inside of them are the stock ventilated disc brakes. The holes in the disc helps it stay cool and therefore increase the braking capabilities at high speeds. Not many cars offer this type of disk brakes especially cars that cost $22,000. The exhaust is the other thing that impressed me, the dual-exhaust look really nice with the way that it blends into the body. The only thing that I didn't like as much about the outside of the car was the front bumper but that can be fixed.

Now I was honestly overwhelmed by the interior. The things that stood out to me the most were the gauges and the two-tone bucket seats. The interior in general was really nice. When I was riding the car I couldn't stop thinking that my friend got this car for only $22,000. Am not going to lie but originally when i first saw the car and noticed that it was the best trim, I thought it cost around $30,000. The gauges were big and easy to read, and with their neon-blue lights turned on at night, they look even better. There are also some gauges in the center console, which includes how much torque the car is using; theses gauges also light up with the neon-blue lights. The the two-tone seats are red and black. The center part of the seat is red cloth and the rest is black leather; there is also the option of having the red leather with black cloth. This car has seats for 4 people, but only the front two will be comfortable.
The exterior and interior are real nice, you might be asking yourself now "what about the motor?" Well don't worry because the V6 will impress you as well. This car has a 2.7L V6 engine that has a total of 172 horsepower and 181 ft-lb of torque. That might seem little, but while I was riding the car without knowing how much power it had I would've guess at least 200hp, no joke! So if you are young or at least want to feel young, without spending too much money, than this is the car for you. Well at least for me it is!
