Used 1994 Eagle Talon Consumer Reviews
power
i have had my talon since january of this year. its a great car however it burns a lot of oil after sitting at a red light for a while. I get decent gas mileage bu the car could use a few extra horsepower and ft/lbs torque. Also the hard shifting into second and sometimes third gets rather annoying. but on the other side the car is quick and fun to drive.
I love my Talon
I have had transmission troubles with my 5spd but the car treats you the way you treat it, I race my n/t car it has 130+whp with full exhaust and cold air intake! The turbo AWD guys cant figure out how I keep up so well, because they have 146whp dynoed stock to all fours while I save weight to just the two! The 90-99 Talon and 92-94 Laser are built equivalent to the Eclipse of the same year!
1992 Eagle Talon Non Turbo
Over all this car has been very good to me. I have had to do basic maintenance and a few bigger things like the timing belt and a valve job...but that can be expected at 260000 km. Its great
fast and fun, but unreliable
i owned a 92 eagle talon TSi AWD untill about 3 months ago. the car was nothing but problems for me. i paid about 5500 for the car a little aver a year and a half ago. while it was very fun to drive, and the ability to smoke any civic is fun, the bad outwieghed the good. i put $1600 into a new tranny, $1500 into a new cylander head and timing belt, and then i threw a rod, which would have been at least $3000 to fix. that is with no performance parts on the car, i threw a rod, it is a poorly designed vehicle, panels rusted, despite constant waxing, when the car was babyed, still had problems.
Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking
I have a non-turbo one and havent had a problem yet since the 25,000 miles I put on it. I beat on it hard and have only had to do the normal stuff to the car; oil changes, brakes, tires. Other than that it runs great and gets great gas mileage. I'm at 84,000 miles and still going. Good dependable work car.
