No major emergency repairs.
Had timing chain replaced at 85000 ks just for safety, it didn't break, but it was one thing that was mentioned that should be done.
Had to replace driver seat belt as it was sticking and wouldn't pull out properly.
I love my car! I had to catch a ferry and took it to 140kls on a quiet road and it felt like a hovercraft. Very smooth. I am female so the car has been babied, but also opened up on the hwy when needed. I have owned it since new and I will run it into the ground... this car I am not selling.
I sort of like the talons. NOthing beats a porsche 944 though, but yeah, having power is nice on the highway, I'm glad you like your car. Do you have a name for it yet?
I have a 97 ESI, with 145k and still going strong. Regular maintenance is the key. Keep the oil fresh, every 3k along with regular tune ups and you'll be fine. Like other owners have commented the car is not much on power, but a blast to drive, and I am averaging 27 mpg! Love the Talon, enjoy yours.
I just got my Talon about 3 months ago and I absolutely love it it's a blast to drive and so far it hasn't giving me any real problems. The only thing is that my driver seat door is giving me problems and might have to replaced. but other than that I absolutely love my baby.
