1995 Eagle Talon ESI review from North America
"Great Peformance. Easy Maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The acceleration began to lag a bit after getting it (probably due to my hard driving). However, a quick tightening of the accelerator line fixed it for free!
General comments?
This car was a "hand-me-down" from my older sister. I must say it was an amazing vehicle. She had done regular maintenance before selling it to me (nothing out of the ordinary for a 130,000+ car). The car ran perfectly for the entire year I owned it. Handling was amazing. The ride (infamous for being uncomfortable) was very comfortable for many of my road trips (800 miles to Tennessee and back in 20 hours). I loved this car. Unfortunately, an unmarked high-water area took her from me mere weeks ago. I would definitely own another one if I had the need, but for now I will return to the make/model I had previously to the Talon... the Chevy Corsica. (Also an amazing vehicle)
