1996 Eagle Talon TSi AWD review from North America
"Great car overall, perfect for modding"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stock 7bolt engine blew a rod bearing at 54k. It was due to the previous owner not keeping up oil changes. This car was only used a couple times a year and it would sit for long periods without being driven.
General comments?
The car has very comfortable power leather seats.
It has a very nice clutter-free interior. Easy to operate without any extra 'fluff.'
Exterior is beautiful. Paint is still in mint condition even after 11 years.
My car is heavily modded. It handles and performs like a dream.
This type of car has a large high-quality aftermarket.
I've run mine car with up to 23 psi without any problems.
My only issue is that the steering wheel is over sized and I can't fit any type of cover over it. I don't appreciate a hot leather steering wheel in the summer. :)
It has a nice bog moon roof.
Rear windshield wiper is also a great feature.
