"Good low-cost sports car and dorm mover"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Coil Pack and Wires went out at 65,000 (noted in the manual for maintenance at 60,000)

Frequently needs fuel injector cleaner, about 3 times a year, to avoid starting sluggishly.

The back seat is way too small for anyone over 5 feet tall. My passengers frequently hit their heads on the back window if I go over bumps.

General comments?

I have had nothing but good experiences with this car. I'll admit, I've done a lot of maintenance on the car in 40,000 miles, but it was all preventative maintenance and well worth it.

The handling is very tight, very sporty.

Remarkably good at hauling stuff, I will definitely buy another hatchback. The rear seat folds down, and the hatch cover is removable. I've moved an armchair in this car, as well as a bench on a different occasion, both with the trunk closed. And a kitchen cart... And a Bookcase...

A good looking car, very curvy.

Even though it's not a turbo, it has good acceleration.

I agree with you in what you said. I have one of these cars and I just love it.

Yes, I agree as well. I've recently become a very proud owner of a 1995 Eagle Talon Esi, and I think that it is a very sporty reliable car if you give it the appropriate maintenance. I am very happy with it, and would recommend this car to anybody who wants a good looking sport car. It has very good acceleration as well.

I have recently bought a 1996 eagle Talon and I had wondered If I could add a turbo onto the car at all, I know that its possible, but I wondered if it would be worth the extra 60 horsepower for about 1200 dollars? I really love the car but just want more power.

Check your battery cables if it starts sluggishly

it worked for us.
