The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
As good as it looks.
By Daniel Charles Ross, NewCarTestDrive.com
The Talon--and Eclipse--represent a lot of good times for a reasonable price, and deserve a test-drive if you're shopping in this segment. With assertive styling and superlative capability in a tidy package, the car is a fine alternative in personal sporty transportation that has the added dimension of dynamite good looks. What we appreciate most is the effort to provide exciting value and performance to a wide spectrum of drivers. From a powerful normally aspirated four-cylinder engine to a turbocharged all-wheel-drive hot-rod, the Eagle Talon/Mitsubishi Eclipse show commendable dexterity. Even in the base car, you always feel like you're piloting a more powerful, more expensive coupe. And you know you're lookin' good. |
|
Overview:
|
Let's face it, a lot of the enjoyment we get from a sporty-looking car is that people look at us driving it. It's as American as apple pie to like to be seen tooling around in a cool new ride. We won't speculate on why that's so (save that for Psychology Today), but it explains a great deal about the appeal of the 1997 Eagle Talon line-up, as well as its tribe of identical cousins from Mitsubishi, surname Eclipse. People on the sidewalk pick this smart-looking coupe out of traffic as it flies past--and since it's an Eagle-brand car from Chrysler, flying is, naturally, what it likes to do best. Talons and Eclipses are built in Mitsubishi's factory in Normal, Illinois, sharing major sheetmetal and virtually identical interiors as well as subdural mechanical bits. Ob-servations made concerning the Talon, therefore, also apply to the Eclipse. The Talon/Eclipse duo comprise a modern range of sporty cars that provide ample driving fun, with engine options from mild to wild--if your definition of mild power in a base model starts at a whacking 140 hp. Turbocharging and all-wheel-drive models add another order of magnitude to the driving excitement. And the Eclipse adds the option of a soft top, new to the lineup last year and available only in the Mitsubishi version. These cars are way stylish and big fun to drive, even in entry-level form.
