1989 Acura Legend L review from North America
"Baby it, and It'll baby you"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
SLOW power steering fluid leek.
Small rust spots around the back bumper and gas opening.
Air leek {window} on passengers side.
General comments?
I've only had the car about 9 months, but I really do love it! Parts are easy to find, although I haven't needed to find any, and I feel very safe in the car. I don't know a lot about cars, but a male friend of mine drove my Legend home from school oneday and he was VERY surprised with the way it handled. He said something about V-TEC and it barked... whatever that means! At any rate, it meant a lot to me to have him compliment my baby, seeing as how he races cars and knows a lot about them.
My last car, a 1993 Lexus es300, was a short-lived love, however, that top-of-the line thing didn't compare to my Ac! The previous owner of the car had no kids, so my backseat is virtually brand new. I am extremely pleased with the car, and if I ever have to buy another car, I'm saying with Acura.
