In Spanish, Tiburon means “shark.” In Hyundai speak, Tiburon is a compact sport coupe that does what the Korean carmaker is best known for — offer a generous warranty and a lengthy features list at a low price.

Beyond these aspects, though, the 2008 Hyundai Tiburon is a mere sea bass in an ocean filled with more competent, vicious predators.

The Tiburon has a simple but handsome cockpit. At first glance, it’s evident that the interior designers wanted to impart a high-quality look and feel to the cabin. Everything is laid out in a straightforward fashion, free of gimmickry. Fiddle with the climate-control knobs and the silky fluidity with which they move would do a Honda proud. Bolstered sport seats help keep occupants in place during enthusiastic cornering, and the large speedometer and tachometer are easy to read at a glance.

The 2008 Tiburon is a 2-door, 4-passenger family coupe, or sports coupe, available in 4 trims, ranging from the GS to the SE.

Upon introduction, the GS is equipped with a standard 2.0-liter, I4, 138-horsepower engine that achieves 20-mpg in the city and 28-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. The SE is equipped with a standard 2.7-liter, V6, 172-horsepower engine that achieves 16-mpg in the city and 24-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard.

The 2008 Hyundai Tiburon is a carryover from 2007.
