Hyundai Tiburon comes as four models, beginning with the inexpensive GS ($16,595) which uses a DOHC 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, mated to a five-speed manual transmission or optional ($1100) four-speed automatic with Shiftronic manual control. Standard equipment includes power windows, doors and heated mirrors, air conditioning, keyless entry, a 220-watt Kenwood MP3 sound system, and 16-inch alloy wheels. Cruise control isn't standard; it comes in a package with the sunroof.
The Tiburon GT ($19,295) uses a DOHC 2.7-liter V6 with the same transmission options as the GS, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there are black leather seat bolsters with cloth inserts, an automatic climate control system, and cruise control. The optional sound system, with the sunroof in the Sun and Sound package, is a 440-watt Infinity system with six CD player, MP3 capability, and subwoofer.
The GT Limited ($21,595) brings in the luxury, with that Infinity sound system and a red leather interior.
The SE ($21,995) is the "track-tuned" model. It uses the 2.7-liter V6 with a six-speed gearbox, multi-gauge cluster, high rear spoiler, red front calipers on big vented rotors, aluminum pedals, and the red leather seats with black cloth inserts. The suspension is tuned for hard cornering, and there's electronic stability control with Brake Assist and Traction Control. The standard sound system is the 220-watt Kenwood that's in the GS, and the sunroof is optional.
Safety equipment that comes standard includes anti-lock brakes, tire pressure monitor, and side airbags.
