1991 Acura Legend L coupe from North America - Comments

Alternator went up a 38,000 miles.

Cheap cloth interior has led too many rips in my seats. my gas gage and fuel pump went up at the same time. Very expensive and not worth the money.

The performance is not all that good. I have driven other cars with four cylinders and they have more pickup and go power then in this slow moving coupe. I don't plan on buying any other cars from Acura or any other import. They are not that stylish and are definitely not worth the money.

He must have had a bad experience with this car, my 91 rolls out. I have had the master cylinder go out, heads went out on the engine after it was stolen. I replaced the engine in 2001. It takes on a lot of 8 cylinders and beats very quick off the line and makes lane changing easy. This car handles very well for the size. I've had the car since 97 and never have been stranded.

It always starts up when I go get in it although now at 180,000 the transmission is showing its age, but even with that it still shifts smooth. All in all I'd buy another Legend. That's the platform Acura should have stayed with.

I have a 91 Legend L Sedan and you must be crazy to think legends are slow the can beat mustangs or maybe you don't know how to drive it.

HMMM, @ 34,000 miles huh? And You've had this car for 11 years? kind of odd, you've had problems and dissatisified since 34,000 and the cars now 15 years old with over 100,000 miles and you still own it? Or did you replace it with a cheap auto store alternator? Sluggish? I ran mine @ 15.8 stock. 200 HP V6 Good on gas too. WoW sounds like you have a headgasket issue.

You must not know how to drive or anything, possibility you just don't have a good mechanic cause I drive an 1991 acura legend and it has never had a problem master cylinder never has gone out or anything, I have only lost 1 race and that was to a corvette. so yeah LEARN HOW TO DRIVE AND WORK ON CARS.

I've had my 1991 Legend since it was new. It now has 230,000 miles on it. I can't imagine a more reliable car. Almost everything is still original. Although the alternator has just started singing. The bearing must finally be on it's way out.

I would recommend this car to anyone.

Wow. The preceding (Dec. 13) comment, along with the original review, appear to be the only ones here not exaggerating. The Legend is a fine car, but saying that you've only lost a "street race" to a Corvette (which clearly means you've beaten most other fast cars) might be a little misleading. That said, remember that speed is a subjective term. The original reviewer might have previously owned a Porsche (even though the Legend is clearly faster. Yeah.), and so the Legend, though quick, seemed slow. Or maybe there is something wrong with his engine (seriously, no sarcasm intended). As far as the problems listed here, remember that the cars that come off the assembly line near quitting time on Friday tend to be put together more hastily than those from Tuesday or Wednesday. However, I must say that I'm a fan of American cars, but I know very well Honda's well-earned reputation for reliability. Maybe these cars are just aging. Of course, you could always go for a new "Legend." I think the 3.2TL is supposed to be the successor to the Legend. That one won't beat a Corvette either, but it's a fine, comfortable, even relatively fast car.
