With time passing by they are refining its chassis at least, but it's so dull IMO to look at... doesn't do it for me

I voted uncool but it was a hard choice... because I had a great ride in one (2.0) to the circuit of Francorchamps. If you know the small roads to the circuit... they're a blast.

It's main problem is the fact that it's a Hyundai and that's about the least cool car manufacturar in existence. Even a Lada is cooler IMO.

Cool.

This car is doing good for Hyundais image and it gets sympathy for that.

Yeah, but a Lada has become a bit of an icon, a classic if you may.

Probably not a bad car, but it just doesn't stand out, in any single way. It's not outrageous, it doesn't make you go ooh or aah, and neither does it churn your stomach to any point (sometimes hate turns into love, if you see what I mean).

Just too normal, so it's uncool for me.

It's by far the best looking car in the Hyundai lineup, and it's not actually that bad...but it's still a Hyundai, so it's uncool...

Seriously uncool. It's one of the better car Hyundai has to offer but it's still impossible to shred the Hyundai image. Had a ride in one, was a little bit surprised by its refinement compared to other econoboxes but its interior was too small so I didn't get much time with my shoulders away from the knees.

The old Hyundai Tiburon was so ugly it made the Aztek looks normal. Not to mention its resemblance to that Geely "sports car".

The only car that's worse than a Hyundai? A KIA.

For that money is a good buy imo BUT overall its uncool, I have seen only teenage children driving it ofcourse with several wings and tinted windows. The guys like Richard(and he liked it! ).

Not a bad car, and not bad looking, but they pinched the design from Ferrari.

Uncool.

Somewhere hovering between cool and uncool.. The tiburon as its known in the US has good styling curtosy of pininfirina, but the car itself is nothing special.
