1995 Eagle Talon ESI review from North America
"Very nice drivable car! Love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well when I first got the car nothing seemed to be wrong with it other than my two front ball joints were bad and clunk really badly.
The ball joints in the front still clunk because I have not replace them yet.
Heatsheilds on the exhuast rattle and it's pretty much all of the heatsheilds so I have just been removing them slowly as they rattle.
Belts keep coming off and snapping I think there is something wrong with my pullys.
Engine sometimes idles rough and sometimes it runs great.
Passenger side headlamp fogged over. (can be buffed out for free)
Crack in front windshield. (been there since I got the car)
Other than that nothing has happended really expensive.
General comments?
Car is great for a first time car, I love it to death.
Has great pick-up slow on starts, but great at top end, had it up to triple digits three times on the highway so far with ease.
Comfy seats in the driver side I wouldn't know about the back seat and the passenger side seat.
A good radio and sound system can make you deaf if hooked up right. (i know mine does)
If this car ever gave up on me I would buy another talon in a second!! I love it very sexy car indeed.
You get looks everywhere you go even when the car is dirty and the eclipse even with the 6cyl my 4 banger blew it's doors off :)
