Who it suits
This Eagle suits a driver who wants four-wheel or all-wheel drive, a manual gearbox, and a gasoline six-cylinder vehicle, while accepting an 18 MPG combined rating.
The 22 MPG highway figure gives it a clearer fit for highway-heavy use than for mostly city driving.

Four-wheel or all-wheel drive and the six-cylinder engine come with modest fuel economy: 16 MPG city and 22 MPG highway.

Verdict
The 1984 Eagle 4WD is a straightforward choice for someone who values its four-wheel or all-wheel-drive layout and manual transmission more than fuel savings. Plan around an 18 MPG combined rating and an EPA annual fuel cost of $3,700. Highway trips are its more economical setting at 22 MPG, while city use drops to 16 MPG. The 4.2-liter six-cylinder and high CO2 figure make the running-cost trade-off clear.
