Welcome! The only thing that I don't like about my 2003 Tib GT is the side mirrors. They are very large and obstruct the view slightly. For instance at a stop sign to check both directions I have to manuver back and forth in my seat to get a clear view for oncoming traffic! Other then that she is a perfect car!!!!! Love the pick up and the handling!!!

Good Luck and hope this helps,

Megs :57:

If you are in the market for older tibs(rd1*97-99* or rd2*00-01*), I love everything about the cars, I have had 3, 2 rd1s and my current rd2. I mainly got into them to fix them up, because no one had them when I bought mine, but even stock they are not that bad at all!

Styling wise the old ones did'nt do much for me,its the newer ones (04/05s) that have caught my eye.
