1990 Acura Legend review from North America
"A greatly designed car with really nice features"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air conditioning compressor went out.
Seats in front are badly worn.
The anti-lock breaks started having major problems at 102k. The pump was not working, therefore causing a loud noise.
General comments?
The car has great get-up for a 90. The speeds it goes is very nice. The speedometer goes to 140, unlike most older cars.
The handling on the legend is wonderful. No matter what speeds, the car does exactly what you want it to.
The car has defintely had its 100k mile problems. The repairs have been slightly expensive, but not too bad.
I defintely do not recommend this car for a first time driver/owner.
