1993 Eagle Talon DL review from North America
"The best car I have ever driven"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A lot of things have gone with it, as it sat for a few years in a field rusting, so I don't blame them on the car itself. However when I first got it, I started it, it ran, more than what can be said for most cars that have been left to rust. Thou 12 miles later it died. Head Gasket was to blame.
General comments?
This car is smooth, it shifts like a dream, if your in for your first manual, here it is.
Sitting in the seat is like being in one of those big old tubs, your really low and the dash is rather high. It can be unsettling for someone who is rather short.
The ride is very soft, after all those years sitting thought it would have diminished, but I can normally feel the speed of a car, keep your eyes on the speedometer, or you'll be speeding soon enough.
Very quick acceleration, watch for it, can get you into trouble.
The thing turns on a dime.
