1991 Acura Legend LS 4 door sedan review from North America
"The car of my dreams"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power antenna failed at 117,000 miles.
Driver side window slows to crawl.
Left-rear passenger window gets off track. How, I don't know.
Front seats suffer from sun damage.
ABS system needed repairs at 123,000 miles.
Stock amplifier went bad due to manufacturer defect.
Buggy alarm system. Master key won't disengage the system.
General comments?
Besides the electronic problems and the buggy alarm system, if I had a chance to buy this car over again, I would. My Legend is 12 years old and it drives like it's fresh off the assembly line.
The Legend handles superbly and when pushed the car never fails to deliver. The ride is nice and quiet, and feels like you're on air except when you hit a pothole or rough road.
The leather is showing it's age, mainly because of heat and it's just plain old. Although the two-tone interior is pleasing to the eye.
I'm mad at the fact Acura, instead of giving the LS aluminum door handles on the inside, they put some sort of aluminum foil type material over a plastic door handle.
The wood grain in the car really shows that it is fake because it has a plastic feel.
Either way, this car is excellent, classy and really says something about the owner.
Despite prices for brakes, the car is economical compared to a Beamer or Benz.
Excellent for a used car, and will last a life-time.
Don't neglect your Legend, because you will regret it!
