1987 Acura Legend Coupe L review from North America
"Excellent deal - the Honda V-6 will run seemingly forever with little beyond regular maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the master cylinder approximately one month after purchase.
Had to replace the windshield wiper linkage.
Front leather seats are severely cracked.
General comments?
Only major engine issue is that shifts at high RPM can be a bit rough.
Honda's speed-sensitive steering tends to be a bit stiff when holding a bit of brake on while turning (e.g. into a parking spot)
Acceleration is excellent, engine runs like a charm.
Very comfortable ride, good performance, not as bad on gas as anticipated.
