Do you guys think this car would be a good buy? It costs around 27k USD here.

they are pretty zippy n sporty. but im not a fan of korean cars. for that much id rather get an rx8

RX8s look pretty sick too, but maintaining that rotary engine might be more trouble than it's worth. A 2-stroke engine with no pistons will burn oil. If you don't mind adding a quart at every other fill-up, then I say go for it

I hate used cars, but I want another car since my Yaris is for Uni drivining mostly. Blah, so confused. Lancer GT? That costs around 30k here.

Oh and the RX8, way out of my budget. How much does it cost in the states? Take that amount and multiply it by 2 hehe.

I had a Tiburon, if thats what you were refering to. 2003. Nice and quick, but wasn't exactly a handling machine.

Malaya1221 · 02-18-2009, 04:15 AM

just saw a modded one tonight on the highway and it looks pretty sweet!

ZING · 02-18-2009, 04:27 AM

Yeh, the Tiburon, the coupe here. The 2009 model looks pretty great, but I don't trust it to last.

Just letting you know the maint cost of hyundai is very high. You have to change the timing belt every 60k. Unlike other cars that are at 90k or higher. Also parts are very hard to get and very expensive. I changed a battery for a tiburon before and interstate does not make one nor does any other manufacture i tried. I had to modify the cover to make one fit. They made it so its dealer only. Plus even though hyundai is come a long way i still do not trust thier reliability because the older ones were just junkers that always fell apart. I mean for 27k you could just buy a lexus.

Or buy another yaris and totally pimp it out.

I love my Yaris, but sometimes I just want more speed. I would've bought the Yaris Sport if they had it here, but they don't. We get the 1.3 as the biggest engine. The only sport version cars we get here is the Swift Sport, and it is so hard to get one. You can net get a lexus for 27k here...a Yaris 1.3L here costs 19k to put it into perspective hehe, altho I personally bought mine for 17k since the dealer is a close friend.

why not get a blitz supercharger then? You can have the power you want and be driving your yaris still. Will only set you back a few thousand instead of thousands.

I'd pay $27k for TWO Tiburons.

Why don't you tell him what you are thinking and ask him his opinion?
