1995 Eagle Talon tsi awd review from North America
"Fun to drive with many upgrades for the speed freak at heart"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Interior has its minor problems like cracks in the doors and marks where the seats are wearing thin, but what car that is 13 yrs old does not have them.
One of the vac-cum hoses kept blowing off when you the turbo wound up and kicked in.
The transmission was rebuilt by the previous owner only about 5000 miles before I purchased the car. It had quit shifting into third gear.
General comments?
The car runs great and is fairly quick for being stock.
The handling of the car is excellent, There is very little body roll so it hugs the corners very tightly.
Being a little above average height, there is not much room under the steering wheel for my legs.
