1990 Acura Legend L review from North America
"Great engineering, reliability and handling"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Incredible car. I bought in new in 1990. I had to replace the AC compressor at 250,000 miles, and finally had to replace the auto transmission at 302,000 miles. Everything else has been maintenance or ordinary wear and tear. I am still on the original engine, and have lost all of 2 MPG since the car was new.
General comments?
Great car; over-engineered by Acura for reliability and durability. I see the original generation Legend on the road all the time here in Southern California. How many other cars from 1990 do you see?
