1997 Eagle Talon 2 Dr ESi HatchbackReview
Looking For Something Deacent On Gas And Fun To Drive Then This Is The Vehicle For You. — Love the way it looks, but would love it better if she was wet sanded again. Amazing handling on dry pavement but tn the snow she is okay. There are some minor repairs that were needed but now are fixed. The only things that make funny noises are the windows where it meets the top of the roof and the radar against the rear view mirror, but that's fixable. The Exterior is finished in a House of Kolors Black Diamond Metallic, and the interior is painted in a black, or the panels are fitted with black crushed velvet. Gas mileage is wonderful, at 23 in the city and 28 on the highway. Overall the Vehicle is amazing. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: Convient. Cons: Not many things that can be done to it. |

1997 Eagle Talon 2 Dr TSi Turbo HatchbackReview
Maintain It And It'll Treat Ya Right — decent car, never thought I'd need a motor replacement before 100k miles though, but it took a dump at 88k. not too expensive though, I sourced a low mileage motor for 1000 bucks so there it is in a nutshell. Love the performance, fun to drive, but maintain them. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: awesome car Cons: crankwalk |

1997 Eagle Talon 2 Dr TSi Turbo AWD HatchbackReview
Pocket Rocket Now Affordable. — Excellent performance on all turbo models with the Mitsubishi 4G63T engine, but avoid non-turbo models with their 420a Dodge Neon engine. Build quality is good, but the age of the car should be considered too, and the car's previous owners. These cars are popular now with 16-21 year olds and as such, are usually poorly cared for, beat on excessively and generally in much need of good maintenance. Typical rust points are on the strut towers, rocker panels, radiator core support and inside of the rear fenders. You can't beat the appearance of a 97-98 Eagle Talon, IMO the best looking DSM ever made. Gas mileage is very dependent on how heavy footed you drive, I averaged ~24 mpg with lots of city driving. The most fun to drive car I've owned. Manual transmission AWD models are rarer, but they're very tough to beat for budget performance and go-anywhere-in-any-weather ability. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: Budget performance and tunability. Cons: Don't buy one if you can't turn a wrench or know nothing about fixing cars. |

Fast, Durable, Lightweight, 5-speed, Turbo. — I like the quality of the build. It hasn't fallen apart yet. The performance is good for 140hp. Cheap, hasn't cost me too much to fix.

1997 Eagle Talon 2 Dr TSi Turbo HatchbackReview
Great Car, Fun To Tweak, Tune And Modify — There is a bit of turbo lag that takes some getting used to. Stock automatic transmission and/or stock engine power doesn't allow for a burnout :( But car is sporty and fun to drive. Driver's seat is a little tight and the back seat is useless for people. She has a surprisingly large trunk and a bottomless windshield washer fluid reservoir. Seriously, I've tried to fill it up but gave up at 6 gallons!!! Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Fun, sporty, and RARE in the midwest, bulletproof engine Cons: Not for tall or large people, comfortable for only driver and one passenger |

1997 Eagle Talon 2 Dr TSi Turbo AWD HatchbackReview
A Pretty Good Car — It could use do with more power. DSM's are very easy to modify but it´s quite expensive here and all parts have to be special ordered from USA. The only problems I've had are a couple of failing sensors. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: the look you get while driving this car in Iceland Cons: hard to get spare parts in iceland |

1997 Eagle Talon 2 Dr ESi HatchbackReview
97 Eagle Talon — it is a pretty decent car... able to mod it out quite a bit. also, it comes with about 120 hp stock and after a turbo kit and cold air intake it can muster up about 300 to 350 horsepower. depending on what turbo. also with front and rear strut bars it increasing handling alot. Pros: fast, handling Cons: copycat |

1997 Eagle Talon Esi — looks and fuel economy are the strongest points about the car.. build quality and performance and the weaknesses.. the car is still fun to drive because its really light.. maintenance is really cheap because its pretty much american.. this is also the fastest all wheel drive car in the world due to the amount of aftermarket products you can do and get for the top of the line model.. i would definetly reccomend this car especially for new drivers.. as its really cheap second hand Pros: Fuel Economy, Appearance, Cost, Fun Factor, Performance Cons: Build Quality, Performance on base model |
