1995 Eagle Talon TSI AWD review from North America
"Good looks, but not reliable at all"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The manifold went so there was a loud noise coming from the exhaust.
The oil pan went causing the balance shafts to also go. In order to fix this, the motor had to be rebuilt. This costed $4000.
The rad hose blew.
The driver side wheel bearing went.
General comments?
The car has very comfortable seats.
I love the looks of this car.
I was disappointed when it could not beat an Integra.
Got it up to 210KM/h
Slow starts, but it picks up pretty good when the turbo kicks in.
I love the car, but I don't love how I had this car for under two months and I dropped 5 grand on it.
