1990 Eagle Talon TSi review from North America
"A Honda's nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All of the belts had to be changed shortly after I bought it.
The hatch is broken.
My power windows are stiff.
The exhaust down-pipe is going.
General comments?
I had never driven a turbocharged car before and was shocked at the difference.
It was the quickest import I have ever driven and after a short test drive, I had to have it.
The handling is extremely precise and it is nearly impossible to skid thanks to the all wheel drive.
I have easily beaten quite a few V-tec Hondas and Acura late models in this ten-year-old sleeper.
