1990 Acura Legend L Coupe review from North America
"The perfect luxury car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Slight wear in the leather seats.
Lifter "ticking" noise (when cold) @ 121,000.
New brakes @ 122,000.
General comments?
First off, the "ticking" noise. The design on this engine is one that causes the lifters... to make a "ticking" noise when the engine is cold.. What I recommend is, a can of engine restore.. this will work for only 200-500 miles. Also you can, let it warm up normally for 5 minutes, then rev the engine to 3000RPM for a couple of seconds and the noise goes away. THIS NOISE IS NOT HARMFUL TO THE ENGINE.
This car has a great amount of power.
The steering of this car is among the best.
Great suspension and ride.
Great interior positioning of items.
Smooth V6 engine.
