Tibbies are pooches

My friend just bought one two months ago. He had it loaded up with pretty much every option. We had a V6 one with about 5K on it out for a test drive. I thought it drove like ass. Pretty nice interior, good size trunk, but it was no fun to drive at all. The engine does not like revving. He let me drive it expecting ooohs and ahhhs but I let him take the car back after less than 15 minutes driving. It's a decent car but I didn't feel 181hp and whether it weighs less or not it felt heavy in the corners. When he finally got his ordered one it was even worse, having only 30 on the odometer. I'd hit an SRT-4, Celica GT-S, GTI, RXS-S or a slower FSVT over a loaded Tibby anytime regardless of price.

to the person that said they test drove 5 and 6 speed V6 models, the 5 speed is only offered on the four-cylinder Tiburons. Just a clarification.

Not true, my friend just bought a '03 Tiburon GT V6 5 speed.

I have driven in it first hand.




I doublechecked. Too bad I forgot to say "I'm not certain BUT..." Heh...embarrassed I am.

Indeed as you mentioned Jersey, and as it was previously stated, the 6 speed stick is an option. Sorry for the confusion.


On a side note, I made a mistake, learned from it, and still avoided a whole flame war. Why is it so dang hard these days?
