Used 1991 Eagle Premier Sedan Consumer Reviews
Misunderstood Renault
As the title states, I feel the Premier was never fully appreciated by most owners, or dealers. My 91 ES was a bit of a contradiction...great handling, great ride, tons of room & comfort inside, but at the same time, if I didn't have any mechanical ability, cost of ownership would have been sky-high!! If you're looking for an unusual Euro-sedan, the Premier (in ES or ES Limited form) is a great choice....HOWEVER, if you want a reliable, easy to repair vehicle that darn near any mechanic can work on, look someplace else!! Chrysler dealers aren't any help either..they'd just as soon forget they sold the darn things as look at them, so beware....
Excellent car for the cost
I bought a Premier as my first car and it is not bad for a $900 car. Its definitely rare and its unusual French Renault quirks really show here. The interior takes a bit of time to get used to and everything is buttonized, no knobs in sight. I do enjoy my Premier a lot because it handles well and gets a lot of attention. Gas mileage is its weak point but its not terrible like a Bentley. I do recommend one for a geek like myself if you can find one. They are easy to work on and definitely show great build quality. My Premier is almost 26 years old and still running great.

Eagle Premier 1991
ScraI got the car for a birthday present on my 16th birthday. The problems with the car began on day 1. Aside from the constant overheating problems it had (which after 2 thermostats still occured), the alternator went 3 times, the battery 3 times, the wiper motor went, the windows didn't crank anymore, the backs of the seats were falling apart, the rims were defective (causing many flat tires), it was nearly impossible to work on due to the fact that nothing was accessible. Don't even think of buying this car.
