Faults:

When I first got it the thermostat needed to be replaced.

I had to replace the front windshield, and two front driver side tires, and the brakes. But that is mostly just because of the driving conditions.

General Comments:

I love my Eagle Talon. It was the first car that I got into when I went out looking for my first car, at the age of 15.

I had never seen anyone driving a Talon before I bought mine, and now I see them everywhere. Although I am the only girl that I know of who owns a Talon.

The best thing about the car, to me when I first bought it is the fact that it has NO backseat. Which is good for me because I hate hauling people around.

Faults:

Alternator.

Rear Engine Seal.

Valve cover gaskets (twice)

Turn Signal Unit.

General Comments:

This car was fun to drive, but a bit finicky at times. Very particular on the brand of gas, as well as the temperature, for smooth performance.

Ride of the car was very stiff, long drives are uncomfortable. I wished the cloth seats were more comfortable. Those claustrophobic need not apply. But this is a sporty car, do this is to be expected.

Handling and braking were good, not great. You'll need to invest in aftermarket wheels and tires for greater handling capabilities. The steering was a bit vague, and I wished it was tighter for a performance oriented car.

I was a little disappointed in the fit and finish. Lots of squeeks and rattles from the inside, mostly coming from the dash. Interior materials are a little on the cheap side. Blind spots galore.

Beware of crankwalk problems on 2G DSMs. Make sure the recalls have been performed.

All in all, a fun car. But I needed something quieter and more practical.

Faults:

I had it for about 4 months and the Engine blew at 115,000 miles! Had to get a new one for around $3,000.

The check engine light keeps coming on and we can't figure out why.

General Comments:

This car is quick and handles well! I love the speed behind it.

After getting a new engine everything with this car has been GREAT!!

I love the way this car is like an Eclipse, but a lot cheaper and there's not as many people out on the road that have this car. So you don't have a car like everyone else! It's a one of a kind!!!

Faults:

Gas is horrible. It might just be my car, but putting gas in my car is expensive. Anyone have any suggestion please tell me!

Driver side power lock is broken. Not a big deal.

A winding ticking sound when I first accelerate, after I start the car. The sound is only for a few seconds.

It's a fast car and I love it.
