I had an '07 Tiburon for a few years... It's not a "bad" vehicle. Handling was fine. Road noise was minimal (I had come from a convertible directly before it, so anything was an improvement there).

For the power that it had, gas mileage was mediocre... and I should have expected more out of it. I had the 6-spd manual and installed a short shifter, so throwing it through the gears (despite the FWD) was fun and had a sporty-ish feel to it... but in the end, it's not a sports car.

I ended up going back to a 300zx for a few years and then eventually got my 370z. Both were a step up in every possible area from the Tib... except maybe trunk space. Trust me, you won't look back and think it was a bad decision if you move to a 370. Money well spent.
