1997 Eagle Talon ESI from North America - Comments

Nothing has gone wrong with this car.

Engine Light has come on, but didn't find any difference in the performance.It's probably not a big deal.

My Talon is very good on turns.

It's a little slow on take off, but rides like a dream once up to speed.

My Talon is quite rough on bumps, but you have to expect that with a sports suspension.

It's a very good looking car and it gets all the peoples attention you hope to get.

I had no trouble starting it up in the winter even on mornings with -40C windchill.

All in all this car has been everything I expected in a car, and I would buy one again.

The Check engine light can be reset at any Auto Zone for FREE!! I have had it come on once or twice it will normally go away after a few weeks I'm told it is just sensing an engine miss-fire and means nothing.

If you take the negative lead off the battery post for about 5 minutes, when you reattach it will clear out the check engine light as well. (But you'll lose all your radio stations!)

I love my talon and its runs like a dream. Its really good looking and moves up to speed really fast sick car and amazing looks, but very expensive to maintain, but worth every penny.

I have a 92' esi talon and i'll tell you that I would choose it over any other honda or other import.personally

I don't like the power in first gear, but then when

you hit second on up, the car has such an amazing pull to it that you would believe it was turbo charged. I love racing those little civic's because If I can get a pretty good start, there is no way they can beat me or any other esi talon.

I currently own a 97 eagle talon ESI and I have performance parts on it, it is still very slow and sluggish it is only quick on the highway, but in a race it does not go far against a Honda or even saturn's. The fact is I still love the car and it is pretty reliable except they are know to run very hot. To stop the overheating problem it is recommended to install an oil cooler. If you have the money I highly recommend purchasing the Tsi, which is the turbo ed version.
