1992 Eagle Talon TSi FWD review from North America
"A Honda-killing pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It has had a flat tire and the intake system has minor problems.
The driver's window becomes "dislodged" from time to time, which is probably a result of installation of new, non-factory speakers.
I had to replace the timing belt, but it was not really a problem.
General comments?
This is a great car, very useful and sporty. I wish I had purchased the AWD version, however, as the front wheels always spin when the turbo spools up (usually at 4000RPM+).
Other than that, it is a great car to own and I have a lot of fun driving it just about everywhere.
It is also great to modify; I have purchased many interior, exterior, sound, and performance enhancing products for this car, all at reasonable prices.
I wish it was better on gas, but that's the price you pay for owning a high performance car. I would buy another one if the need arose.
