1997 Eagle Talon TSi review from North America
"Better handling and performance then most cars costing 2-4 times more"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not many problems with this car, only normal wear and tear.
A little preventative maintanence really reduces problems.
General comments?
The oil has always been changed at 3000 mile intervals using Mobil 1 synthetic oil and Mobil 1 oil filters.
Also a turbo timer was installed right after the car was purchased.
This car is not driven in the winter (salt eats cars).
Always kept clean and waxed on the exterior (Mothers 3 step wax at least twice a year).
It has always been kept vacuumed and Armour-alled inside.
The engine compartment is spotless, thanks to proper care cleaning and lots of Armour-all.
This car has been mistaken for a brand-new car even recently.
