1993 Eagle Talon ES review from North America
"Great car, but it has it's problems.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, I bought this car a year ago, because my Toyota Celica was in an accident. When I bought it, it only had 60,000 miles on it, so I thought I was getting a good deal, and it only cost me $1,800. This was probably one of the first times I'd seen an eagle, because they were so rare. I then found out why they were so rare, they had a lot of problems! When I bought it, it was in semi tip-top condition, just the seats were a little messed up, but I bought some covers.
-About 4 months later, the front "Eagle" logo had been ripped off! (it's a sticker!!) And I have no idea were to get another. (it looks weird without it)
-At about 70,000 miles, the oil tank had to be replaced, it leaked very badly.
-About 8 months after I bought it, the air conditioner broke!
-2 months after that broke, the power sunroof wouldn't budge!
-The front headlights died about 4 weeks after the sunroof broke.
-A month later, the brakes weren't working as good, had to be replaced.
General comments?
This car is great, and it's considered to be very rare were I live. However, the rear seats definitely need much more room! It handles great, and has great fuel economy. I just wish I knew were I could get another Eagle Logo Sticker... so far, no one knows were to get another, not even the people at the auto parts store. Any ideas?
