1995 Eagle Talon TSi AWD review from North America
"Gorgeous looking outside! Piece of crap inside!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So damn much it isn't funny. Lets start with the horn. I have had it replaced twice. It still is iffy when I press it. I have almost been hit 200 times and no horn to honk at other idiots.
The paint faded on the hood after 3 months of owning it. I got it repainted then some idiot keyed it.
Door handle fell off in my hand. Forget the mechanics, I fixed it myself.
Hoses fell off, I fixed them myself.
Turbo broke at 15,000 miles.
Car won't drive straight since I have owned it from new. Alignments don't help!!!
Stock radio broke 3 times. Piece of carp.
Damn I am so happy they stopped making this car. I swear I will only buy Japanese cars for the rest of my life. The Japanese seem to know a hell of a lot more and care more than the US losers that build cars.
2 tune ups so far with only 63,000 miles and they ran over $2000.00 for both.
This isn't a Ferrari yet they charge me ridiculous prices at the shop!
General comments?
I really like the looks of the damn car so I can't get rid of it. There is some type of love between us. I also put a $2000.00 sound system in her so I am not about to get rid of this car.
K&N air filter helped the performance and gas also. I changed the exhaust system.
It still beats off Mustangs. Screw Ford.
