1992 Eagle Talon 16v DOHC review from North America
"Nice looking, quick little car with many problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car after my cavalier got writ in off. Since I have owned the car, I've had the computer go ($300), 2 flat tires, the back left Hub replaced, both front wheel bearings replaced, a leak in the power steering, new alternator, new battery, and the dash lights don't work. I've only put 13,000/kilometers on this car.
General comments?
I've seen Talons do 13sec in the 1/4. I had high hopes to tune this car up and make it quicker, but in 13,000kms and this many problems, I can't afford to pay attention.
Very disappointed in my investment.
