One of the fuel injector o-rings came off at 80,000 miles, allowing gasoline to be squirted all over the engine. The problem was easily fixed, but could have resulted in an engine fire.
The stereo's factory-installed compact disc changer sometimes stops functioning for a week or so at a time.
The mechanism that presents and retracts the seat belts works only sporadically.
For the most part, I love this car. I coveted this model for quite a while, but it took me over a year to find a 230 horsepower model with a manual transmission. Fortunately, the first one I found suited me perfectly. The car only gets better looking with time, and the interior is a model of ergonomic excellence. Moreover, the driver enjoys a panoramic view of the road thanks to the deceptively steeply sloping hood.
The only downside, which I'm surprised no one else has failed to mention, is the lack of cup holders -- a serious flaw particularly in a car with manual transmission. What's more, the dash and door designs will not accommodate any of the after-market cup holders I've tried to use. It's maddening. I had no idea this would turn out to be such a problem. Note: the automatic version of the Legend Coupe has a cup holder that springs conveniently from the center armrest, but apparently Honda didn't want to go to the trouble to design an alternate one whose use wouldn't prevent you from reaching the gear shift.
I recently purchased a 1993 Acura Legend GS ya know the with the type 2 engine. I em amazed with the features performance and the over all quality of this vehicle. The car is 10 years old and has 106,000 miles on it and it runs like a stallion. I am impressed on how the interior has held up so well over the years. I haven't found a car that can keep up with the raw acceleration and top speed this car has to offer.
I have the same model and I found that the cup holder is on the center console.
I bought a '94 L 4 door Sedan about 18 Months ago with 104K miles. Drives, runs, looks wonderful. I got rid of a 3 series BMW that spent a lot of time in the shop for a Legend that is an engineering marvel. No problems. I just wish I had purchased a Legend years ago.
I Just bought a 1994 Acura Legend. Love the car. I've always wanted one. Anyway my one problem is "cupholders" Not enough cup holders no rear cup holders for passengers. Anyone have a solution, please email, daway4@hotmail.com. Thanks.
Hilarious! I just recently purchased a champagne '93 Legend LS coupe with the manual, which is amazing if I might add. But the first time I drove it I went to put my drink in a cup holder and noticed to despite all the options the Legend has to offer no cup holders! Where are we supposed to put our drinks? Doesn't matter though, because I am driving the car that I have wanted for quite some time. People say when you drive the car you have craved for years it's disapointing, usually especially because of the money you will have to shell out. I disagree, my Legend Coupe Ls drives like a dream with all 230 horses put out by the legendary Type II engine, the smooth 6 speed, and one of the nicest interior exterior combinations. I have yet to meet someone who owns a Legend, especially the coupe that says they don't like it, whats not to like.
I would like to know because I am in the market for a 1993 Acura Legend L Sedan, if the glovebox has a lock on it. If someone figures this out, can you please post it. Thanks in advance.
I have a 93 legend coupe automatic. I had the car for about two years and I love it. I had it repainted red when i first bought it in 2004. It has about 167,000 miles on but still runs very strong it has a type II engine, 230 horsepower. I think it is time for something new if your entrested in purchasing the car, email me at

Hello
I own a '93 L coupe, 6 speed, double black.
I am thrilled there are no cup holders.
This baby is for driving.
If you want to eat and drink in your car get a mini-van!

I'm thinking on buying a 93 Acura Legend for 3500. What things should I ask about besides the mileage? Is it worth the price?
