I'd say test drive it and if you like it go for it..
I have an '03 tiburon GT (V6) and it's great, I love driving it every time I get behind the wheel, it's as fun today as the day I bought it.
I've had it for just over 3 years and have yet to have my first problem, so all that crap about problems.. well I'm sure there's some things that go wrong with some cars, but that will happen in any make. If you like driving go for the V6, it has tons of torque and is pretty quick and very fun to drive, add a cold air intake and your good to go.. (just get that factory cd player out of there ASAP, it sounds ALMOST as good as a tape deck) I put a pair of JL 10's and an amp in the spare tire well and the car looks stock.. Hyundai HAD a bad reputation, and in the late 80's to mid 90's it may have been correct, but the new ones are better than alot of things out there..
(just try and buy a true '03, because they skipped '02 and created the '03 in '02 because it was so different.. (released late '01) it's true there were some reported problems in the first few.. but all problems were resolved in all cars made in 2003 and later.

Don't let a lack of cylinders fool you, a turbo 4 cylinder like the one I had would school a Tiburon. I like the Tiburon, it is also a good platform or some above average sound systems.

what would get better gas milage (because if the 4 cylinder would school the v6 AND have better gas milage, ill definately get that):
4 cylinder DOHC Turbo Tiburon
V6 Tiburon

I was speaking more in terms of the turbo MR2 that I once owned. Between those two, I would stick with the Tiburon.
