The base model has been dropped in favor of one well-appointed Tiburon that retails for $13,999. Standard equipment has been added without raising the price. Air conditioning, power windows, four-wheel disc brakes, 15-inch alloy wheels, a rear wiper/washer with intermittent mode and other features that came on last year's FX model are now standard.
A twin-cam 2.0-liter engine rated at 140 horsepower powers Tiburon. An automatic transmission is available for $750.
Sporty full cloth seat trim is standard. A leather package ($2,475) features two-tone leather seats, steering wheel and shift knob along with a rear spoiler, cassette/CD upgrade and power sunroof. ABS adds another $775.
