1993 Eagle Talon TSI AWD review from North America
"All the comfort of a sports car, with the gas mileage of a heavy family sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Owning this car has been a dream of mine since I was in college. Where else can you get a turbo all wheel drive for less than 10k used?
I have had only 2 problems with the car. First is that my timing belt broke while driving. It was my fault due to my deployments. I was not able to maintain it.
The second was I used cheap gas for a while, under 90 octane. The car sputtered and stalled like crazy, so never use below 90 octane.
General comments?

The 1993 Eagle Talon TSI AWD is great. Younger folks still ask me if it is for sale when I visit the local Jiffy Lube and Autozone.
