1989 Eagle Premier ES review from North America
"This is a great car to have"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 98,000 the automatic transmission had to be rebuilt.
General comments?
A bargain priced used car. Lots of room inside, good power, great handling, and cheap to own.
The 4 speed automatic gives me a surprising 35mpg on the highway and 25 around city traffic.
I have no complaints about the car. However, the Chrysler dealers in my area will not service any Eagle cars and the Jeep dealer referred me to an independent garage (which is OK since they are cheaper anyway).
I enjoy the car and it has more engine power and interior space than the Honda Accords of that era. It doesn't seem as responsive as the Accura Legend, but it certainly cost me a lot less, and again it has more interior space than the Legend.
