1992 Eagle Summit ES review from North America

The dealer I bought it from said it was in "perfect" shape with that typical braindead "I'm-a-gonna-rip-you-off" jackass dealer look on his face. This man deserves to be shot in the head several times with a high caliber weapon.

I bought the car directly after a timing belt had been put in.

Oil leaks up the wazoo!!!

Timing belt blew at 98312 at 45MPH in 5th gear, making sure the pistons all cracked when they bent all 12 valves and cracked the head.

The pulley that runs the alternator belt had three big chips taken out it allowing the alternator belt to be constantly ripped through, and to make a really annoying squealing noise.

The door buttons that inform the car that it's door is open barely work. One gets stuck in all the time, one fell out, one works perfectly (rear passenger side), and the other freezes solid at any unspecified point.

Oil. It's a never-ending struggle. I think it is impossible to keep this thing from spurting oil all over the place. I replaced the oil pan, and patched the old one at least four times but noOOoo, that wouldn't help. Everywhere I go there's a bigger oil puddle. I probably spent more money in oil than in gas. The lemon factor increases daily at a 2% rate.

Luckily I had a 1200 watt stereo system in it with 2 12" Orion NT2's (this car handles acoustics very well for a sedan), otherwise over 55 MPH the car sounds like a back-hoe crushing a cop car. Nothing you can really do about the earthquake that happens everytime you get it over 50 MPH though.

On a good note, the vehicle had surprisingly stable design. After I slammed it into a tree at 65 MPH it still gets me around. Of couse minus a window and the use of two doors. But that's besides the point. You can see this vehicle here http://members.dencity.com/lenny789/summit

This cars' outward appearance was a trick, it looked so much like a nice car, but don't let that fool you.
