Automatic Hyundai Tiburon:
170hp, 181lbs
Curb Weight=3041lbs

Honda Civic Si:
160hp, 132lbs
Curb Weight= 2744lbs

You make the conclusion.

My money would go to the ep3, but don't give the tib a chance or you could loose. people talk so bad about the tib like it's a ford pinto or something. Just for curious minds, I drive a DC5s. Go all out and smoke em'!

The tiburon might have an advantage up to like 75 MPH but the Civic would take it from there.

man why do people always bash on hyundai, if they suck you should blame Mitsubishi, since they are the ones making the engines.

give it time and its reputation should get better, it is still consider a new car company to the import market.

Well, actually it would be the japanese dodge because that's who owns mitsu. Just think....

dodge stealth=3000gt
plymouth laser/eagle talon=eclipse

Mitsu might suck now, but back in the day they were the ****! Well, back when they made the GSX and my personal fav the GST.

The interiors are ragged,the engines/trannys don't hold up.A friend of mine has had 2 of them,the reason he got the second one is becuase the first one fell under the lemon law so they had to take his back and give him another one.That damn thing went though like 3 trannys and it was a brand new tiburon!The only way they sell cars is because they give a million mile warranty with them.

Just by the forum you posted this in your gonna geta biased opinion. And like most others in here i think tiburons suck . Yes they look good, but not much else. I'd bet on the Ep3

Well, remind me to bring you some midol next time I need to talk to you, no need to act like a bitch on the rag!

And besides, who the **** was talking to you anyway! What I said was my opinion as for mitsu goes, but the thing about dodge was true.

So?
The new Acura TL fell under the lemon law too and the person I know who owned it had to get rid of his EP3 because it had just as many problems. Does that mean Honda is crap?

As the rest of your post said... at least they give bigass warranties
