1990 Eagle Talon TSi Turbo AWDReview

Cheap Thrills — I bought this car about 3 years ago for under $2,000 from the second owner. He got the car from his grandparents who had bought it new. I have it serviced by the same mechanic that worked on it for the prior owners with no major work needed. It is a kick to drive and to let others drive (when I am in the passenger seat of course). The combination of AWD, 5 speed manual trans., 4 wheel disc brakes, and turbo makes it one fun car with great acceleration and control. The 2.0 DOHC just wants to GO and I have to let it! Who can blame me? It sounds SO sweet running up to 5500 rpm through the gears. No modifications have been done. No racing, ever. Good gas mileage, no car payments, quick, fun, and my wife loves it. I've got 7 grandchildren ages 11 yrs. down to 1 mo. I plan to keep this car for them to enjoy too. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: I'm 62, 6'4" , 250 lbs., and I fit just fine in the driver's seat which amazes people. It's an inexpensive, easy to maintain, sports car with plenty of power, that turns heads.. Cons: Exterior door handle. Have broken two. Paint on hood was blistered and needed repainting (within the first year my wife said or the car goes). ![]() Looking for a Used Talon in your area?CarGurus has 1 nationwide Talon listings and the tools to find you a great deal. |

Not Bad But It Is Fwd. — first problem is it is fwd. the trans is great, no grinds. The car is has adjustable coil overs which make it look good but makes for a very rough ride. this car is mostly stock so its not very quick but still fun to drive. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: can be made quick easily and cheap. Cons: rough ride |

Cheap Pocket Rocket Of A Car! — Bought this car for cheap from a dealership that was going to send it to auction. While the black talon (1993) was down, this got all of my reasonable parts. Modifying it cost me $0. I actually ended up selling it for a profit and having fun! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: Solid 13 second car with bolt-ons Cons: Its a DSM, don't expect reliability |

Love It — I love my DSM. This thing flys! It could have been built stronger, but thats what moog and trw are for-chasis parts-other than ball joints being not o god out of the factory this car is definately a favoite of mine. I had a 95 but it wasnt an awd 5 speed, either way this car is amazing in all areas Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: power on demand, awd Cons: chasis parts could be tougher |

Fun When It Runs — Great handling car. Extremely fun and fast. Great grip with AWD technology. Fully built motor internally and bolt-ons. Runs E-85 fuel. Cheap gas but suffers from mpg. Old school look but still clean. One of the best motors made. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: AWD Cons: Maintence |

I Love My Honda Killer — I hate how touchy these cars are. So much fun to drive especially with just a few mods. You can take a 14 sec. stock car to a 12 or 11 sec car with just a few tweeks. AWD is the best Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: fun as hell to drive Cons: money pit |
