1995 Eagle Talon ESi review from North America
"A trusty friend, a long term companion"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My horn stopped working at about 50000 miles.
The check engine light has been on perpetually since about 60000 miles. I took it to a mechanic and he said that my engine was fine. I have ignored it ever since.
My tie rods were broken at about 160000 miles.
I have never had my brake or transmission fluid replaced. Yet the car runs fine.
At around 120000 miles, the driver's side door cannot be locked or unlocked from the outside.
My heat shield rattled at about 110000 miles, so I had it removed.
My car has recently begun to overheat on hot days at long red lights or heavy traffic. Maybe my fan isn't working properly.
General comments?
This is really an excellent car. It runs quietly and with good power. The A/C is very cold in the summer and the heat is very hot in the winter. The body is aesthetically appealing and the steering is superb. The seats are very comfortable, more comfortable than many cars that I have driven in for an extended period of time which includes: 97 Acura 3.2 TL, 91 Honda Accord EX, 00 VW Jetta GLS, 89 Cadillac Sedan Deville, 00 Honda Accord EX Coupe, etc...
