1995 Eagle Talon TSI - FWD 2.0 Liter turbo intercooled from North America

Summary:

Great car to make fast

Faults:

Well... the car itself in stock form runs great... aside from a leaky sun roof & lifter noise that happens after about 80k.

I race & drive a lot so I've replaced or upgraded almost every part of the car.

Mine's fast & runs great.

Just remember if you drive the car hard & don't take care of the car, it will break...

General Comments:

Fun & fast...

1995 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 2.0 turbo from North America

Summary:

Gorgeous looking outside! Piece of crap inside!

Faults:

So damn much it isn't funny. Lets start with the horn. I have had it replaced twice. It still is iffy when I press it. I have almost been hit 200 times and no horn to honk at other idiots.

The paint faded on the hood after 3 months of owning it. I got it repainted then some idiot keyed it.

Door handle fell off in my hand. Forget the mechanics, I fixed it myself.

Hoses fell off, I fixed them myself.

Turbo broke at 15,000 miles.

Car won't drive straight since I have owned it from new. Alignments don't help!!!

Stock radio broke 3 times. Piece of carp.

Damn I am so happy they stopped making this car. I swear I will only buy Japanese cars for the rest of my life. The Japanese seem to know a hell of a lot more and care more than the US losers that build cars.

2 tune ups so far with only 63,000 miles and they ran over $2000.00 for both.

This isn't a Ferrari yet they charge me ridiculous prices at the shop!

General Comments:

I really like the looks of the damn car so I can't get rid of it. There is some type of love between us. I also put a $2000.00 sound system in her so I am not about to get rid of this car.

K&N air filter helped the performance and gas also. I changed the exhaust system.

It still beats off Mustangs. Screw Ford.

The car IS Japanese! Look under the hood, see a logo that looks like Mitsubishi, that's right. Need more proof? Open the door and look at the paint codes, what's that? Another Mitsubishi logo?

It is true the car is made by Mitsubishi. That is what makes parts so expensive. Besides that, a good car, at least I think so.

1995 Eagle Talon TSi 2.0 16v DOHC turbo from North America

Summary:

I wish they still made these!

Faults:

New transmission at 50,000.

Replaced the master cylinder at 60,000...

Horn was broke when I bought it.

General Comments:

Great looking car, drives awesome, handles in rain/snow great. Makes for a fun and comfortable trip up the east coast.

Black paint has faded on the roof and mirrors since I moved to Florida.

Transmission was more then likely my fault, as well as the 100's of dollars of brakes and tires I put on it so far! But it's worth it!

1995 Eagle Talon TSi 2.0 dohc turbo from North America

Summary:

A high costing maintenance nightmare

Faults:

I have enjoyed the performance of this car but it comes at a pretty high cost of maintenance.

I have had to replace front and rear rotors at a cost of over $500.

New timing belt and water pump $700.

Broken door handle $75.

General Comments:

It seems that every time I get one thing fixed another thing goes wrong. I like the car but it is pretty ridiculous to be paying more to the garage than your payments.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
