1996 Eagle Talon ESI review from North America
"GREAT car to own and I love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt went out at 150,000 miles and blew 2 valves.
Rear shock went out at 170,000 miles
A hesitation is occuring when I go to take off and climb hills (175,000 miles) and don't know what it is.
Radiator blew a hole in it at 175,000 miles.
General comments?
I love my car very much. It was given to me by my dad. He didn't want to fix the timing belt and so I took it over and paid to fix it. I wouldn't trade this car for anything. I have no idea what the hesitation is from, but if anyone knows or has an idea, please let me know.
