The Hyundai Motor Company produced the Tiburon coupe from 1996 through 2009 with either an in-line four-cylinder or V-6 engine. Road tests demonstrate that it's a nimble car with sufficient power.

Under the Hood

    The base coupe features a 2-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 138 horsepower and 136 pound-feet of torque. The optional V-6 is a 2.7-liter engine generating 172 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque.

Four-Cylinder Speeds

    The 2,972-lb. 2006 Tiburon's base four-cylinder clocks zero to 60 mph in 8.2 seconds and the quarter mile in 15.6 seconds. Its top speed is 137 mph. It can brake from 60 mph to a dead stop in 122 feet.

Four-Cylinder Fuel Efficiency

    The four-cylinder engine achieves 22 mpg on city streets and 30 mpg on the open highway.

V-6 Speeds

    The 3,114-lb. 2007 Tiburon V-6 achieves zero to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds and the quarter mile in 15.7 seconds. Its top speed is 136 mph. It can make a complete stop from 70 mph in 163 feet.

V-6 Fuel Efficiency

    The 2007 model equipped with the V-6 achieves 19/27 mpg in city/highway driving.

Tiburon Handling

    Both versions offer good handling, although the Tiburon is prone to oversteering on curves. Long-distance driving is comfortable, according to Car and Driver.
