1993 Acura Legend L review from North America
"One of the best cars I have owned and wished they never stopped making them"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
80,000 miles had to replace left front axle and upper ball joint.
105,000 replaced factory brakes with drilled slotted rotors and ceramic brake pads. Had trouble stopping car on highway at 80 mph. Drilled slotted rotors was recommended to keep from heating up and better stopping ability.
131,000 seats show cracking, but no rips just normal wear.
Power window on drivers side is very slow and sometimes sticks.
General comments?
This car is absolutely a pleasure on long road trips. Handles well.
Gas mileage in and around town is 18 mpg on highway after gas filter and air filter change was 24/25 mpg.
The trunk is enormous and roomy.
Had a 1991 Legend L also which I loved. Then bought and 2003 brand new TL and sold it with 9000 miles because it didn't meet up to the Legends overall comfort and performance.
