1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD review from North America
"(Relatively) reliable snow toy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Balance shaft belt.
Alternator.
Driver's door lock
Air conditioner condenser.
Front rotors (constantly warped!)
General comments?
Great car for the Canadian snow! It literally cannot get stuck, no matter how stupid I get with it.
I've had the car for seven years and have had some problems with parts breaking, but compared to my experience with domestic cars, the Talon is far ahead.
The usual things have blown for a 10 year old car. I intend to drive it until it drops, even if I can afford a newer car.
