1994 Acura Legend review from Hong Kong
"Underrated executive car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS malfunctioned (1998).
Rusted underside of the rear right door (1999).
No other problems thankfully...
General comments?
Yes, Acura NOT Honda. Hong Kong (ex-colonial Island) is THE ONLY country outside the US to have Acura AND Honda marketed separately with the former being the high-end version...
Very rewarding and reliable (only 1 problem in last 6 years) car to own and drive.
Smooth, powerful (0-60mph in 8.5s - despite auto gearbox) V6 3.2L engine.
Very up-market and loads of gadgets for a 1994 car (eg. ABS, 2x airbags, leather interior (front heated and memory seats), cruise control etc...)
DOWNSIDE: Expensive service costs, drinks petrol like mad (18mpg averaged)...
