Rear brake knocks at times.
Timing belt.
Oil seals went bad.
For the base model and a non-turbo, it looks good with its glossy red body and black trim. With some window tints and some euro stickers the car looks like a rocket ship. But it's not. It's a good first car.
Very bad in snow!!!
Parts aren't cheap!
No offense, but if your car did not run good in the snow, then it was probably due to pilot error. I had a 1990 base model Talon in a stick that was like a grizzly bear in the snow. Did I forget to mention that I lived in Vermont & drove through the mountains every day to work at my job at a ski resort. I used the same tires the car came with - Eagle GT+4.
I also have a base 1990 Talon. Never had chance to tackle snow here in Ga. Only high heat in which scorched the onboard ecu and made car flood-out in high temperatures. These ecu's apparently break-down after some time and high heat seems to accerate it. Besides that, car has been great although I'll agree with any Talon owner that parts are way to exspensive to buy.
