  Fun like a gorgeous high-maint. wife - 1992 Eagle Talon
  By Computer Geek - May 14 - 8:42 am

  From the test drive on, I loved it. Its fast, fun, fun and fun. Just like a gorgeous girlfriend, I loved taking it out and showing it off. Boy, I was a proud man. After a couple of years, I noticed that the alternator just didnt keep pace with the demands of electronics. Ive gone through about 5 alternators & about 10 batteries. Im now on my third water pump. Im actually happy that the original starter is still working. What Im trying to say is, keeping up with maintenance on this car has been more than what I expected. This is especially true of the need to replace the timing belt at regular intervals. Its a fun car but being married to her takes a lot of work!

  1 quick car stock! - 1992 Eagle Talon

  Being that this car is 13 years old things do go wrong. Bun if you are in to making horsepower and excellent handling, this is it. DSMs are some of the most amazing cars cars built and are fairly easy to modify for crazy amounts of horsepower.

  Surprised - 1992 Eagle Talon
  By Thebeast431 - February 17 - 2:00 am

  I was told before I bought this car that it is nothing but problems, but then I found out that this is because other DSM owners want you to think this so they can buy it and have a 2nd DSM. I have had mine for a few months now, no problems at all. Not as fast as my Z28, but just as much fun. AWD is fun to play with from a stop or cornering and the turbo noise and power is outstanding. I paid $2300 for mine in Novemeber of 2002 with 66k miles and with a K&N cone filter and aftermarket UICP. Low 13 second car with less than a $800 invested, you cant beat the performance.

  1992 TSI AWD - 1992 Eagle Talon
  By 92TSI AWD - September 19 - 2:00 am

  I bought the car w/1477 miles on the odometer back in 11/92. While I think the performance is very good, reliability is an issue. I am currently on my 3rd transfer case - the first blew w/38,000 miles on it, the second at 79,000 miles. I have the car serviced regularly, use only synthetic fluids, change oil every 3,000 miles and all fluids every 24,000 so maintainace is not the issue.

  Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking - 1992 Eagle Talon
  By GotMach - July 26 - 2:00 am

  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. Im at 84,000 miles and still going. Good dependable work car.

  power - 1992 Eagle Talon
  By jays92talon - June 11 - 2:00 am

  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.

  If you want a Talon buy the one with the 16V engine or Turbo 16V.One thing I find inaccurate about Edmunds TMV on this car that it does not distingush the std. Chrysler made 1.8L engine and the Mitsubiti made 2.0L 16V engine in its calculations for the TMV.Eagle Talons are almost an exact replica of the Mitsubiti Eclipse. Over all I recommend this car to anyone looking to buy a fun sports car that is economical,dependable and affordable.
