1991 Eagle Talon Base review from North America
"If it is an automatic just say NO"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission (5 times) started right after I bought the car.
Spark plugs and wires (replaced out of habit they wern't bad yet)
Starter had to be rebuilt.
General comments?
Fast car for a non-turbo. A ton faster than my civic. Has a serious transmission problem though (if you buy one and I hope you do, get an 5 speed stay away from the automatics).
I love my car when it is running. I drive my talon 100 miles a day to get to school and work and back home. It gives you a smooth comfortable ride and is realy fun to drive. Packs a nice punch for a 4 cylinder non-turbo with an automatic transmission.
