hi all!, just bought a 2004 gt, was wondering if theres anything i need to keep my eyes open for as in probs known for that year.

 

Is it a manual or no? If it is beware of clutch and take it easy on it. Hyundai factory clutches can't and won't take abuse and they're "easy shift" system causes clutch to slip whether you like it or not. Plus when the clutch goes the flywheel goes and you have to pay to replace both which is usually around 2000.00 if you have the dealer do it. Otherwise I think the cars 04-06 are pretty solid. 03's had some recall stuff but nothing major. The Tiburon's major weakness mechanically is the clutches. I have a 6-speed and I'm preparing for the day when the clutch fails. I want to replace mine with a high quality after marked clutch and flywheel but there's a good chance from what Ive heard that Hyundai will void the warranty unless Hyundai parts are used. Despite all that I love the car and Hyundai is starting to grow on me.

 

Tks, yeh i have a standard too, clutch does feel alittle funny prob will replace mine in future after warranty is up or after it goes.

 

yeah its very rare that Hyundai will replace the clutch and flywheel for you under warranty. Even if it goes out under 10,000 miles.
