1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD Turbo review from North America
"It's fun, but as it gets older, things start to happen"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlights.
Headlight pop-up motor.
Engine control computer.
Alternator.
General comments?
It was fun to drive until the day I traded it in and gave no problems up until 1997 (engine control computer went out 6 months after the extended warranty expired!).
The following year the pop-up motor for one of the headlight pop up assemblies failed and the alternator (voltage regulator) went out in Aug. I was told that model of alternator was not being made any more and ultimately, a remanufactured one had to be shipped over from Japan as there was not one to be had in Canada, the USA or Mexico!!!!!!
Performance was great, but time was taking it's toll. Traded it in for a 2000 Dodge Intrepid R/T.
