What it is

The 1998 Eagle Talon is a car classified by the EPA as a subcompact. It uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a four-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. Its make is Eagle, and its model is Talon.

The numbers

What it costs to run

Who it suits

This Talon suits a buyer looking for an EPA-classified subcompact car with gasoline power, an automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. Its highway rating matters more for drivers whose miles are mostly on open roads.

Trade-offs

The 28 MPG highway figure is higher than the 18 MPG city figure, but the combined result is 22 MPG. The four-speed automatic keeps the drivetrain simple, while gasoline operation brings the listed fuel cost and CO2 output.

Verdict

Choose the 1998 Eagle Talon if its small-car classification, front-wheel-drive layout, and automatic gearbox fit your needs. Plan around 22 MPG overall, with lower economy in city traffic and better results on the highway. The $3,050 annual fuel estimate gives this car a clear running-cost figure, while its 403.95 grams per mile of tailpipe CO2 records the emissions side of that choice.
