1992 Eagle Premier ES review from North America
"Sporty, sensible, cheap and rides so smooth!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The power windows began to run slowly after eight years. They don't work at all in the winter.
The automatic braking system stopped functioning properly.
The stereo speakers began to crackle.
The odometer stopped reading the mileage after 250,000km.
The cooling line blew after 100km, taking out the transmission.
Required brake pads too often.
Air conditioner stopped working.
The trunk leaked.
Not enough horsepower.
It has a bad electrical system.
No resale value.
General comments?
Handles beautifully.
Never required alignment.
Three sets of tires in 300,000km.
Good mileage.
Comfortable interior.
Roomy interior.
Cheap to buy used.
Looks nice and contemporary after 10 years.
Nice drink holders.
Good visibility from all angles in the car.
Automatic braking system is under manufacturer warranty.
For all its faults I still love the car. Most things were relatively cheap to repair. The car handles amazingly well and you feel like you own the road when you drive it. It has no resale value, but when yours dies you can pick another one up cheap ($1000-$2000). Let's put it this way, I own a Cadillac and a 66' Mustang and still actively searched out, and bought another Eagle Premier, I love it so much.
