1992 Eagle Premier ES Limited review from North America
"A highly capable European sport sedan for a steal."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The anti-lock braking required service at 110000 miles.
I had to replace the thermostat and water pump at 115000 miles, but I did the work myself and the parts were cheap.
The trunk leaks when I go through the car wash.
The automatic transmission occasionally slips.
Power mirrors do not move (but they still heat up in the winter).
General comments?
Top notch interior is classy and comfortable, with lots of room all around.
Body designed by Giugiaro, still looks clean and modern a decade later.
Same bulletproof Peugeot-Renault-Volvo motor used in many high-end European cars of the era (Peugeot 505 V6, Volvo Bertone Coupe).
German built ZF automatic transmission.
Great steering and handling; a pleasure to drive.
Great visibility makes for easy lane changes and parking.
