1994 Acura Legend GS review from North America
"Best Acura I've driven, and I've now owned two Legends!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far, nothing has gone wrong with it. The car is solidly built and as a previous Legend and Honda owner, I can appreciate the engineering that went into this car.
General comments?
I have owned Hondas that had 370K-plus miles on them, and with regular maintenance, they just kept running. This Acura is made even better, and I like it enough that I expect that I will keep this car until it falls apart, maybe 10 or more years from now!
The GS model is surprisingly quick and feels like a smaller sports car. It never lacks power for any kind of passing or merging into traffic. With firmer tires, this car handles windy mountain roads like it's on rails! And the ride is very comfortable and luxurious.
The traction control works well.
The Bose sound system is not as impressive as the rest of the car though. Fortunately, the opening is a full 2-DIN high, so a newer GPS/touch screen radio fits perfectly and looks factory. Would like the rear seats to fold down and open to the trunk for larger items (skis).
