1987 Acura Legend L review from North America
"A performance sedan from the 80s that still performs better than most new cars!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've replaced the shocks with less mushy ones for better stability. Front wheel bearings were worn, rotors and pads worn, muffler replaced. Other than those wear items, just maintenance.
General comments?
After 13 years on the road this car is still fast and quiet with great comfort and handling for a car of its size. Stomp on the pedal and as the revs climb those 24 valves kick in like a turbo (without the turbo related problems). All the gadgets and mechanicals still work solidly. Corners solidly with only minimal understeer. Contrary to some other reviews here I don't think there are so many 160k mile cars out there that still run practically like new. No rust on mine. Unfortunately parts that do have to be replaced can be relatively expensive. It's a high quality car that balances performance with comfort and comes with all the goodies.
