1992 Eagle Summit DL Wagon review from North America
"Very reliable, fast, and cheap car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ECU was bad when I got the car got a new ECU at the junkyard for $35.
Spark plug wires went at 205,000.
Distributor cap went at 210,000.
Cat. converter rusted off at 218,000.
Speedometer does not work.
Oil leak from main seal.
General comments?
I was VERY surprised at how much punch this little van has although I shouldn't be considering its Mitsubishi 16 Valve DOHC engine paired with a 5 speed manual trans.
4 Wheel independent suspension makes this car handle very well around corners although bigger than 14" stock wheels would help a lot.
