Mass airflow sensor went 'kaput' within a week of getting it.
ABS failed, sensors went on two wheels.
That nasty and ever-so-popular 2nd gear grind-o-rama.
Misc. interior rattles and buzzes.
The car looks hot, is very fast, corners great, and is surprisingly the most comfortable car I have ever owned, considering I'm 6'2" and my previous car was a Chevy Caprice.
The Talon was no doubt made for looks and performance. It's a little rough suspension-wise, but probably no more than any other sports car in its class.
On the other hand, I don't care much for the clunky tranny and the AWD, and the rather high cost of maintenance and replacement parts.
If you're a non-mechanical person looking to buy a sports car, I'd say stay away from the Talon. However, if you're a 'race-nut' and you wanna burn 'Stangs off the road, and you're comfortable doing some regular maintenance yourself to save a buck, this car is for you.
I feel as though my Talon is unstoppable. With all the minor defects, my 1990 Talon will make you eat my dust.
