Eagle Talon Esi
Strength:
Great handling and speed for a 4 cylinder. Good car to fix up and make a street car. It's not as common as the mitsubishi eclipse so it gets more head turning than the eclipse. Nice stock system but i definately enhanced it.
Weakness:
engine work space is small. Small back seats but who needs a backseat anyways. The top of the roof is caving in a little at the rearview mirror. Has four rotar disks so they need to be changed more often than the typical 2 break drums and 2 rotar cars. This car is off the chain. I just bought it and it is the perfect car. It is simiilar to the mitsubishi eclipse, but in my opinion is way nicer. I got a great deal on it and its only given me minor problems that were easy to fix. Similar Products Used: Eclipse, Celica any small sports car |

Strength:
Handles great in all weather and corners great. Beautiful car with lots of compliments.
Weakness:
Not many, have to keep preventative maintenance up (just like any other vehicle) but have owned two and never had any major problems. Overall great car. Love the sporty look and the way it handles on the road. Good car to customize. |

Strength:
Looks, lots of performance upgrades, good engine so far, stock stereo system was good, but still had to upgrade.
Weakness:
small backseat, some poor electrical stuff, but otherwise great. Great car, gets lots of looks, not too slow either. Only prob ever had was the Rad leaked when it was cold outside and the car was plugged in. Brake lights stoped workin but was due to just the wiring. Overall fun and nice car to drive. Similar Products Used: ford probe, nissan 240 sx, toyota celica |

Strength:
Great performance, runs quiet, INCREASES SPEED REAL QUICK!
Weakness:
in mine little stuff but nothing saying that you shouldn't own a Talon because they are great. Mine just has little interior stuff I went from a 1991 Camaro RS to this and I thought I fell in love with the Camaro but the first time I drove this I found my new love. I am amazed with the performance and the body car is a lot smaller so I find it easier to drive! Similar Products Used: I never used a 4 cylinder! I did use a 1991 Camaro RS and 1889 Z-24 Cavalier |

Talon TSi AWD Turbo
Strength:
Fast, Fast, Fast! Good looks. Handling is awsome. The wistle of the turbo.
Weakness:
Price for parts. Oil leaks. Premium gas only. Need to chang timing belt because if it breaks, it wreaks the whole top end of engine. And the syncros for the tranny cost alot of $$$. Very fun and good looking car. I fell in love with it right away. |

Eagle Talon TSi AWD
Strength:
Smooth acceleration, good on gas if not driven hard. Great interior, everything is very handy.
Weakness:
Will guzzle gas if the Turbo kicks in.(with fast accelerations) and Turbo will blow if this is done alot which is a fortune to fix. If anything does go wrong, parts are pricy. Small backseat, 0 legroom. Beautiful car, a real head turner! I have had no problems with the car, it has been my baby. Great winter driving as well with the AWD, loves the snow! Starts good in winter. Backseats fold down for more truck room. I would'nt recommend this car for a young person as a first purchase, too much car here. Similar Products Used: none |

Esi
Strength:
Acceleration, gas mileage, factory stereo system, shifts nice and smooth, great for racing, and it's definately a head turner!
Weakness:
Not the best paint work and no room in back seat (not really a big deal) I fell in love with the Talon the first time I drove it. I knew it was the car for me after test driving Preludes, Neons, Civics, and Saturns. It's so smooth, beautiful, a great car if you like the adrenaline! Tsi OR Esi! Similar Products Used: 2002 Eclipse...nice as well but the body of the Talon is way better! |

Eagle Talon TSI turbo
Strength:
Acceleration, braking, handling, all wheel drive.
Weakness:
Leaks!! (oil, coolant) I know I listed the brakes as a strength, and they are---the first few times you hit them. They do tend to fade after heavy use. This was 1 of 25 cars I've owned, and probally one of my favorites. It is a driver's car...note the lack of back seat room! It has the best cabin layout I have seen. Everything is within perfect reach. |
