1995 Eagle Talon ESi review from North America
"BEST car EVER, just get it checked out by a mechanic before you buy one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well I just bought the car and I have already had problems!
I first had a leak in my radiator and it was leaking antifreeze! I had that fixed the other day, it was $125.
My SRS light showed up; I don't know what I did? Maybe I was stopping too hard and it screwed up my airbags, but I don't know. If anyone has had this problem, please comment about it.
I also was driving in the rain and I had a huge water leak; my whole trunk where the spare tire goes, is full of water, like full. I had to remove all the water and it got all in my back seats and my floor!
Also, my engine light just showed up the other day. I don't know whether to get it checked out or just leave it alone, from what I have heard it just shows up for no reason.. I'm starting to think was it worth it buying a Talon?
General comments?
Other than all those problems, I frickin love this car! I take it everywhere and is a very fast car, even for an ESi I killed a 2005 Acura CL Type S the other day!
The car looks amazing! Whenever I drive by I get looks all over! It handles great, very comfortable, and I probably wouldn't want anything else for the price of this car!
Well if anyone has any advice for me, please make a comment, I need the help.
