1987 Acura Legend review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
RUST, RUST, & RUST. 5 speed transmission is a joke, knocks out of gears. Tons of electrical, fuel, & computer problems. Recalled 3 times for unknown problems (dealer would not tell me, you know it's bad when that happens). Leaks lots of oil from various places (I have never seen a Honda that doesn't). Front suspension weak, had to replace tie rods & more 2 times. All these problems & it only has 80,000 miles. Did I mention RUST?
General comments?
Only good thing is it does have room for 4-5 people + luggage. Not built very sturdy. Just because it's made from Honda, does not mean it's any good. Its a medium sized family cruiser (not a Lincoln Town Car by far), not sporty at all (the 4 doors gives it away). Cure: Buy a real car.
