1996 Eagle Talon TSI AWD review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Drivers side window rattles.
- Overdrive light blew out.
- Needed new plugs/wires.
- Locks don't work sometimes.
- Trunk rattles when I hit bumps.
General comments?
This car "EATS V-8's". I highly recommend this car as well as the Eclipse GSX. It's highly reliable if you turbo time the turbo for 2 minutes and warm up the car before driving. These cars are highly capable of hitting low 12 second quarter miles. I hit a 12.54, with a 16G Turbo. Planning to purchase a GREDDY 20G next month. Haha... bye bye Ferrari's/Porsches/SVT Cobra-R Mustangs/bla bla... it's honestly extremely fast, I'm good on gas, and all wheel drive handles beautifully...
