Strength:
Why do you think I went for a second one? Quality fo price, Look vs price, Pleasure to drive (Miata owners syndrom!) and finally a RICE EATER!
Weakness:
Suspension modified to be more confortable on the latest version (Not stiff enough!) cup holder, needs a turbo or 200hp by any means! My first Tib was a 97 base model with drum brakes at rear vs 4 disc brakes for the latest generation (It is a major improvement!). I was a biased Honda owner previously because they where not overpriced at the time (2x 1991 Civic SI and a CRX SI SE 1991) also owned a Eagle Talon 92, the quality of the suspension and the weight balance ratio are a big plus for the Tiburon! No over or understeer perfectly balanced, the rubbers are not optimal so you will maybe change them for a better compound and for sure the intake needs to be modified (To restrictive coz to small) I got on the dyno 155hp for a 500$ investment.Take your time to make a decision but please follow my advice go do a roadtest and think about 300$/month Canadian on a 3 year lease with a bumper to bumper coverage. p.s. There is no perfect car and there will be always someone to complain about something in life wathever the product!

Strength:
Nice looking, even after three years of family trips which include our daughter and dog. Has pretty good pick-up for a four cylinder (it's a manual five-speed). Love the power sunroof. Stereo is great.
Weakness:
Just the little rattle in the rear-view mirror casing. I love this car. I have had it since 1998 and still love it. I usually am fickle when it comes to cars, but this one is my baby. I got the FX model. It has everything: power sunroof, windows, etc. combo CD/Cassette. The only problem I have with it is that the rear view mirror vibrates. I simply haven't wanted to take it in. My husband is wanting to buy a larger vehicle, and it's breaking my heart to look at any other cars. Everything on it has held up very well. I still get looks when driving it. People often ask me what kind of car it is and then offer up the compliments. Overall, a great car. I'm not sure about the safety factor, but after all it is a small car. If I do part with it, it will only be because of the larger car issue. It's our family car. I will have to make sure it goes to a good home!
