1995 Acura Legend Sedan LS review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far the only problem was getting the radio code, which the dealer charged me $70.00 for a 5 digit code.
The rear right wheel (lower suspension arm) also was a bit noise, but some silicon lubricant seems to have temporarily fix that.
General comments?
The car handles great.
Compared to my 97 eclipse, its much more responsive and faster when accelerating.
The car is also a bit bumpy, I was expecting a smoother ride, but I can live with it.
The car is fast, but not very fast. The problem is that there are no mods for this car.
Currently the engine has about 200 horses (Type 1 engine) and about 210 for torque, not bad, but it weighs 3,550lbs.
If it were to compete with BMW and V-8 cars, it would need to have over 330 horses/torque, something only available with a high end supercharger or turbo I say at least 15-20 pounds of pressure, plus internal engine mods. However, there are no such mods for the legend.
Passing cars on the freeway is a breeze.
Overall, I love my legend, its faster and better looking than the eclipse, especially when it comes to performance. However, the advantage of the eclipse was that getting mods for some serious power (for a four banger) was easy and not that expensive.
