1988 Acura Legend L 2 door Coupe review from North America
"I got a great deal and the car is perfect for me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission went out.
The passenger and driver windows need work.
The leather is cracking.
General comments?
I got an awesome deal on my Legend. Even with a new transmission I only have 5000 in the car.
The car is in really great shape, I don't have any rust problems or anything of that nature.
The car is pretty quick, I have street raced it a few times with friends and beat a 97 Prelude. (maybe that's why I had to put a new transmission in it).
I have read a few other reviews and the problems people are having with their Legends sound like bad maintenance. If you read the Legend handbook there are a lot of things recommended to be changed at a lot less miles than these people have on them.
If you want a fun and very comfortable car for the money, it is great.
