1987 Acura Legend L review from North America
"A good bang for the buck"

Alternator replaced at 170,000 miles
Oxygen sensors replaced at 178,000 miles
Muffler replaced at 180,000 miles
Windows work poorly.
General comments?
Overall my experience with this car has been better than expected. I agree that the parts are expensive and if you are not very rich you need to do some work on your own. The driving experience is really good. Recently test driven a new Honda Civic and a Ford Focus, I still get a better feedback from my 87 Legend. You can't compare the handling and acceleration. The automatic AC performs wonderful at 16 years. The interior is spacey. Put on a set of 17 inch wheels and the car looks awesome.
