BTW, the 2001 Tiburon has the "beta" engine (not the revised beta that is often called beta2).

But any car can be a lemon, one of my friend bought a 2003 Civic a few years ago, after 2 months she returned it to the dealer, the thing was riddled with electrical gremlins and small mechanical problems. Civics are good cars, but if you happen to get your hands on a lemon you might, like her, think that all Honda are crap!

As for a car that last 300k miles or more, I would put my money on a manual Toyota and stick with severe conditions maintenance!
