1992 Eagle Talon Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This car is REALLY fun. Its one hell of a ride, and even though they usually need work they are hell on wheels. The Tsi model is definately what you want. You have to run premium fuel in it but once tuned right you can usually sqweeze 30+ mgh out of them. I would not recommend this vehicle to those without mechanic skills unless you have deep pockets to shell out loot for a professional to do the work on it.Sep 03, 2010

it was kind of slow especially since it only had a 1.8L block in it. 5 speed stick shift with a super soft clutch. it was a fun little car to drive, and was my first car that i really learned and nailed stick shift driving. i also learned to drift in this car, even though it was only a FWD car. alot of fun was had in that car and alot of great memories made hah. i wouldnt really recommend the car though. was basically just a Mitsubishi Eclipse under the name of AMC (American Motor Company) Eagle Talon.Nov 29, 2009

I really loved this car, Handles great, great mileage, agressive looking, It performs really good with the low compression piston and 14psi on the 6 bolt block, It's a blast to hit second gear, Only downside is head room and trunk space, but this isn't a car to lug a lot of stuff that's for sure, Save that for your Big lincon or caddi or suv. Cost of ownership is decent if you can find one to revive like I did, the matinence is pretty high considering any car with a turbo is. Jul 27, 2009

Do you remember when American car companies were turbocharging japanese engines? Do you remember the Plymouth Laser, Eagle Talon, or Mitsubishi Eclipse? I do- and that was the car to beat. This was also my favorite year in terms of performance. With a pretty solid aftermarket, you could make one of these little guys quite the nutty little machine for a minimal cost. They handled great, they were practical and they made big V8s look stupid. The 1992 DSMs ran a 1.9 inline-four that only pumped out 190mph. The All-Wheel-Drive version was great on the streets and track but it was the front wheel drive turbo that became the true track monster. For only $1500 and some simple work, a person could turn a quick car into something that could outrun Corvettes and 911s in the 1/4 mile. Then again, this wasn't a bad car to just own as a regular daily driver.Mar 15, 2008

I love this car. It handles like a go cart and goes very, very fast. This car feels like a race car. The cockpit is wrapped around the driver, and you can tell this car is meant to be driven. It feels like you're in a jet fighter. You feel like the car is a part of you... You feel everything and all of your driver input causes an instant reaction. The handling is excellent, and it is very hard to get yourself into trouble in this car. The car is also kind of rare now, so it feels like you're driving something a little exclusive. This car still gets lots of compliments, and it's 15 years old! I would recommend these cars to anyone.Jan 17, 2008
