Hyundai and performance? Most who conjure up images of the South Korean brand probably wouldn’t immediately equate the two terms as synonymous, unless they’ve spent time in the automaker’s sporty Tiburon coupe or taken a spin in someone’s hopped up Accent.
Yes, the budget brand has a performance-oriented following and its smallest entry has become more popular with the tuner crowd since the newest version debuted last year, while the racy Tiburon has always found buyers willing to spend thousands to personalize it with large diameter wheels, lower profile tires, ground effects kits, customized paint and big, phat audio systems, but overall most young buyers would probably think to purchase a Honda, Mazda or VW for tuning purposes before a Hyundai.
