1988 Acura Legend L review from North America
"Very high performance bargain for $ 800.00 I have paid"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. lubricating oil consumption too high (one quarter every month)
2. engine tends to overheat while idling too long.
3. battery gets too weak due to under charging.
4. anti-lock brake warning light on, but brakes seem to be all right.
5. weak battery warning light on occasionally and battery checked to be 12.69 volts.
6. tape cassette had to be replaced.
7. interior plastic parts torn badly.
8. power steering not working during first few minutes after the car started.
9. excessive exhaust smoke during acceleration. (worn piston rings or valves)
10. constantly need to add coolant in the reservoir.
General comments?
1. fast car.
2. always starts right away.
3. comfortable to drive.
4. easy to work on.
5. easy to acquire parts new or used.
6. very reliable for an old car like that.
