Alright I saw a sweet pimped out Hyundai. I am wondering if these cars are worth the time of day. I mean are the engines easily upgradeable (not easy but you know) and are there alot of "add-ons" for these cars?

They are great cars! All motors are easily transferable! Lots of add ons! And most important, they are pimp! I take them over any Mercedes anyday!
They are the worst cars to mod up with the exception of the Tiburon which is actually decent looking

these cars are pretty shitty my buddy bout like a 98 tiburon for like 11Gs last yr and after the warrany was over the car had all kinds of problems
Please don't tell me it's that Accent with the huge decals and wacky paintjob.
Hyundai's only car that has any performance is the Tiburon...I sure like the pro rally rally editionToo bad you can't buy them like that
But for the most part they are a true economy car. Thier engines have ok power, nothing special and I would imagine it would hard to get any more power out of them, just like any FWD Economy car with a NA I4. I seem to remember that they made a turbo for the S-Coupe at some point.....I wonder if you turn up the boost and get more jam out of that car.

The scoupe did come with a turbo option. I don't think it was very high output at all, and I certainly wouldn't trust the reliability of it.
I would drive a new 4cyl tiburon probably as a winter beater in about 10 years.

hyundai are korean made hondas.
economy cars that arent meant to be modified, but are.
and dont tell me im wrong, because if you go look at an older honda, you cant tell me that honda foresaw the HUGE aftermarket support the car would get in years to come.
small, economical, and reliable, thats what hondas and hyundais are supposed to be, and both succeed, mostly.

I'd hardly group honda and hyundai together.

awww its so cute!!!
Registered User
why not?
are they not supposed to be economical cars?
last time i heard, honda was quite proud of their reputation for being extremely fuel efficient.
maybe honda has more money and more r&d, but hyundai could easily make just as good a car with the same money.

Whoever thinks thats a nice car should be thrown outside and shot.... Thats ugly.. ! ! ! WTF a pink accent... That better be a girl driving that car... Accents are shit... I had one as a rental for 1 month... After driving one day I couldnt wait ti get ride of it... ONly good thing was how little gas it used... Me and my friend took it offroading... You wouldnt believe how high I made that car go off a jump, almost lost control ; ).... That is a car for girls man.... Thats typical RICE... The guys trying to make the car look like a Lancer...
RICH... Just my two cents, dont get all offended

If by pimped hyundai you mean an elantra or whatever with an adjustable ricer wing then no, it doesn't deserve the time of day. Saw one yesterday, weird....
Registered User
only the new ones looks "decent", all the last gen. models SUCKED!!!!!They are the worst cars to mod up with the exception of the Tiburon which is actually decent looking
and yea, like everyone has said already, Hyundai are very horrible to mod, dont even attempt it!

Hyundai Pony's are the ULTIMATE car to mod! nothing come close!

It's no BMW, but it's a decent car for the price.
Core competency is VALUE.
Nowadays the cars are fairly competitive and sales are going up and up.
Hyundai might one day become a force in the auto industry.
Don't hate, appreciate.

i like hyundai's
not sayin i would mod an elantra or ever consider touchin a accent
the 3rd gen tib's (the ones out now)The tiburon has always had potential the moment it was released
sure the tib's may have ASS technology, but its the old school engine technology that makes it easy for companies to build mods 4 it
2nd gen tib's look sweet with the veilside kit
i thought that this car was pretty nice "all show no go" car
but now with the new v6 tibby out
companies r catching on..look at import 2nr this month
their making turbos and kits for it
i rather get a tiburon gt-v6 than a rsx anyday
