(ive got a Manual Van to learn to drive) my dad knows I want sporty and he mentioned an eagle talon...now he knows nothing about tuning but he knows there still quick and cheap....Anyways iv seen the talon mentioned alot in these forums so im guessin you guys know some *** about them...im only thinkin about getting a Talon not necesarily buying one...and if i do itl be in 6-12 months. But i want a tunable car that wont be need an engine overhaul like i heard civics need.

Talon Questions:
