It Was Definitely Worth The $400 I Paid — Performance- The inline six is a great engine, but its still not a racecar, It does light four wheeling alright, but without 4 low or solid axles its not quite as capable as I would like. The 4wd option is actually more of an AWD because you can lock it in on the blacktop and it's not locked 50/50. Build Quality- Engine and transmission were great, the body (from WI) decintegrated after not long. The strut tower rusted off the body. Appearance- Its a love it hate it kind of car..... I tend to love them Cost of ownership- It got decent mileage, and parts were reasonably priced. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

It's Okay, As Long As You Repair Or Replace The Problematic Bbd. — For it's time, the AMC Eagle was ahead of its time. The 4WD drive train will get you home in any weather. It's design was of the 80's era, with comfortable seats. However the optional vinyl top caused moisture buildup and caused rust on the roofs of many cars, including mine. Primary Use: Family transportation |

The Eagle Has Landed — It is the first cross over, first car to have full time 4x4, it is 25 years old so obviously it is built solid, got a 4.2 straight six with great torque. Car almost saved AMC from chryslers death grip. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

If You Get It, Get One. If Not, Don't. — The Eagle is a fairly simple reliable car, the four wheel drive makes it easy to get to places ordinary cars won't go without the sacrifices one makes for a true off-roader. The vacuum system is )perhaps unnecessarily) complex, but rarely needs attention. The Carter carburetor has some known issues, but anyone with a bit of aptitude can fix those.

First Car — 84 Limited Wagon. Power everything. Very fun car to own. 4 wheel drive only worked if you could move the car. It you got stuck with out it you could not engage it, and if you got stuck with it, you were still stuck. Owner for 1 years, 0 months Miles Driven per Year:15,000 |
