1995 Acura Legend GS Sedan review from North America
"Get one if you can!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car, the air vent on the passenger side was broken and needed to be fixed.
Another thing that was fixed by the dealer was the drivers side automatic door lock button. About a week afterwards, it quit working again. The dealer checked it again and concluded that it needed a new switch which was wearing out.
Also, after an early 75K mile service including a 4-wheel alignment, tire rotation, and air pressure checks, the steering wheel still pulls slightly to the right.
General comments?
Overall, I absolutely love the car. It is a dream come true compared to my old 1975 Buick LeSabre. I love all the luxury touches including the heated leather seats, steering wheel mounted audio controls, traction control system, memory seats, and the Bose stereo system with the 6 disc changer. The only option missing is fog lights.
Even though the car is six years old, the design and architecture looks like it's brand new. I love the aggressive stance with the standard 5-spoke wheels and 16 inch V-rated tires on the GS models, although they are a bit noisier on the road than I would have expected. It also looks very elegant in black with a spoiler.
All in all, this car is a sweet deal as it backs up all these luxury appointments with the performance of a beasty engine that has 230hp!!!
