1990 Eagle Talon TSI AWD review from North America
"Expensive, but sporty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At about 90,000 my car started smoking out of the exhaust. It was horrible and nobody knows anything about foreign motors in KS. I found out my turbo was out replaced it at 96000. This cost about $600. Dealership wanted $1000 for new one. Got after market turbo.
General comments?
I love my red turbo all wheel drive. My new turbo wants to go 50 when I'm trying to drive 35. Lots of people notice me when I'm out. No real problems besides the turbo so if your car starts smoking its not the heads..
