1994 Eagle Talon ES review from North America
"Very cheaply made.Don't plan on owning one of these without going through your share of headaches"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The integrity of the body left a lot to be desired.
Those poorly assembled door moldings.
Replaced the windshield twice.
16" rims acquired many flt spots resulting in a very bumpy ride.
The timing belt was very costly to repair.
Many electrical problems.
Fog lights constantly blew bulbs.
Fan stopped working around 90,000 miles.
A/C stopped at 50,000.
General comments?
It was a nice looking car; however, the integrity of the body left a lot to be desired.
I constantly battled door/body moldings that snapped off of the body. The nylon snaps would wear out.
The rims were way too soft. All four rims acquired multiple "flat" spots in the first year of ownership.
The bulbs in the foglights burned out very quickly.
It was an easy car to work on. Plenty of room under the hood formy hands.
The windshield wiper motor was a constant issue.
The windshield acquired muultiple "stress cracks"???
I felt as if I was sitting in a hole. The seats were too low.
