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.
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.
I thought the 1995 acura legend had a 3.2 liter 6 cyl. engin with 230 hp why do I see 200???
Maybe you have a coupe. The 93+ coupes have a Type II engine with 220 hp. so does the GS, which is a sedan.
Actually, the Acura Legend Type II V6 has 230 horsepower, not 220. All other 91-95 Legends have 200 horses.
The reason the dealer charged you 75 bucks to get the radio code is because in order to retrieve it if it is lost, then you have to remove the radio to get the serial number off it.
Whats the difference between type I and type II engine? variable valve timing?
