1996 Eagle Talon TSi AWD

About This Vehicle:

2G DSM with a 4G63T. All Wheel Drive. They are a lot of fun, tons of power and very quick out of the hole. They handle nicely, but like most commecial automobiles the ride is comfortable, which means it could be stiffened and handle better. Nice in town, or on the highway, gets very resonable milage. Up keep is higher than most "sport-compacts" but then its not one, so what do you expect. Insurance is high as well, they are classed as a sports car, and as soon as you say turbo their eyes spin dollar signs. No room in the back really, I pitty back seat passengers, the cockpit on the other hand is roomy and definately built for the driver. All in all a great car, though not "practical". That isn't why you buy one.
