1991 Eagle Talon review from North America
"Nice student car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt was replaced a second time at 97000 miles. Only $350, was expected to be $600.
Starter went a day after I replaced the timing belt.
Clutch is on the way out.
Leather seats need to re-upholstered - badly.
Molding is falling off.
Replaced the front bumper for $850.
Misc. bumps and rattles in the car.
General comments?
The stock sound system plays great. The stock CD player reads burned CDs, unlike most older players.
This is my first car I own. I love the interior because I'm small. It's low to the ground and sporty. I'm making mods this winter and plan on racing it this spring.
Excellent on gas. However, you have to fill the 12 gallon tank with super.
There are 5 Talons (from 1990-1993) at my school.
