1992 Acura Legend LS review from North America
"Piece of crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
79,000 - 99,000 miles: The Legend consumed 2 transmissions, 1 torque converter and one half shaft. 79,000 - 99,000 miles. Half of the above was under warrantee.
99,000 - 125,000 miles: Complete exhaust system converter back, radiator started leaking like a sieve - replaced, new transmission mounts. Valve tap so bad that it sounds worse than a old Mercedes Diesel. Replaced ABS sensors in the front after they started to engage intermittently.
125,000 - Both drive-shafts replaced, rear ABS sensors plus rear rotors. Head cracked. Done.
General comments?
This car sucks.
Incompetent and often rude dealer service network.
Honda is good at making $15,000 disposable cars. Too bad the $35,000 ones are the same. I could have bought a BMW 540i and three years worth of gas for what I paid to keep this piece of crap on the road.
Don't buy an ACURA! - Trust me.
