Overview & Reviews

New silver exterior badging and a new black and gray interior mark the Eagle in its final year of production. A new four-speaker CD/cassette player is now optional on the ESi, and all Talons benefit from Chrysler's next-generation depowered airbags.

• Sporty and inexpensive, the Talon costs less than many compact coupes.

• The big emblem on the front fascia needs to be rethought.

  Problems of age - 1998 Eagle Talon
  By zombiemotors - May 3 - 10:05 pm

  Well I was given a 1998 Eagle Talon as a gift. Always look a gift horse in the mouth. Apparently the previous owner had drove it like he stole it. It needed a rad hose which was not a problem or a great expense but it also needed a new front axle on the passenger side. Easy change. Normally but not with the Talon. The axle was seized in the hub and as a result it had to be cut out and the hub had to also be replaced. That came to $300 plus a lot of time. Next I discovered that the front suspension was shot. I could not buy the parts locally and had to use the internet to find them. Also a part on the rear suspension was bent and I could not get it period. Had to straighten it.

  By Bobs Garage - November 26 - 1:00 pm

  Got this car about a year and a half ago and its thrown the power steering belt 8 times and its gotten to the point where I cant rely on the car to get from point a to point b. Doesnt help that I had to replace the clutch 2 months after purchasing the car. Definitely would not buy another.

  The Ultimate Eagle Talon - 1998 Model - 1998 Eagle Talon
  By Al Simmons - October 31 - 5:16 am

  I owned a 1992 Eagle Talon from 92-97 and have hated myself ever since for trading it in (family, big cars, no fun). Never wanted another sports car (not a car dude, but LOVED the Talon styling - especially the bump on the hood). Talon always had more aggressive body styling than its twin, the Eclipse. To make a long story short, recently I was in the market for a new car, and, just for fun, I Googled for the ultimate (style-wise) Talon - the 1998. Found my dream car 100 miles away in NoCal, Turbo, Red, only 37,000 miles (!!!) Had no idea how rare it was (only 4307 made!) - I bought it the next morning. Driving is FUN AGAIN! It was like getting re-acquainted with an old friend.

  The car so far has done well. One common problem though, is the cracked head gasket (which is expensive to fix). My car has many extras so of course, there is more to go wrong. But so far, its been a good car.

  Talons are the greatest! They are the most fun to drive and one of the nicest looking cars! I wish that they were still being made today.

  Best Car Ever Owned!!!! - 1998 Eagle Talon
  By Kezer - March 28 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car with 72 000km on it. I bought it because the kms were so low. With so little kms, theres nothing that can go wrong with it. The AWD system is amazing!!!!! It has saved me from a few accidents (or at least REALLY close calls). Youll appreciate the LSD if you drive in snow or bad weather like we do lots up here in Canada. . If you are trying to buy one, look for one with kms under 100 000 and with no performance upgrades. Trust me TALONs are great cars. To get this type of performance, looks and features, youll have to buy a BMW or Lexus. I ve owned many cars before and the TALON by far tops them all off!!! Buy one while you still can.

  Factory cant fix - 1998 Eagle Talon
  By watercrit - December 26 - 2:00 am

  Spitzer dodge (Lakewood), the dealer who Chysler insisted I keep taking the car to for repairs to their incompetent warranty work never did repair all the car problems. The anti-locks dont work again, they damaged the wiring harness causing additional problems, feul guage doesnt read correctly, etc. They couldnt even adjust the alternator belt. You could here it in the showroomwith the car parked in the street and the service manager insisted that was normal. Engine and handling are good. Brakes have been serviced twice due to rotor surface peeling away.
