1991 Eagle Talon review from North America
"Very sporty, economical and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had to replace the timing belt twice since I bought the car. The timing belt recently broke while I was on the highway, which resulted in two severely damaged cylinders costing about $1300.
Only other work that's been needed on the car are tires and brakes, which seem to need frequent maintenance.
General comments?
The body and engine have held up extremely well - compared to cars with similar mileage.
Clutch or transmission haven't needed any work in 160,000 miles.
