Been there done that

I bought my Talon from my brother. Was a AWD TSi. And it was good until it's problems started kicking in. Eventually had to replace the ECU (random shut downs at any speed), turbo stopped working, hatch shocks going out... and the usual wear-n-tear of age. at 161k miles, it just gave up. Given proper maintenance, it could've gone a lot longer. As far as getting around time, it does the job pretty good. It's spacious... so long as you're the only person riding. Handling is outstanding (AWD can handle frozen overpasses like dry roads). All in all, decent. Downsides aside from upkeep: requires premium gas and it loves to drink it.

Nice first car

I bought this car with 108,000 miles on it when it was 10 years old. Owned it four years and when I handed it down, it had 134,000 miles. This car is nice, sporty, almost exotic. Problems: Really cramped inside. Back seat mainly for show and children. Replaced: AC pump (bad when bought), lower compression arms (both, twice), door handles (2), rear strut mount (twice). Was in bad shape when bought, continued to rust extensively. Old car, falling part. But nice while it lasted. Nice start, pull, coasting, makes you want to speed.
