1989 Acura Legend L coupe review from North America
"A reliable luxury sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The boot on the CV axle ripped at 225,000 miles.
There is minor rust by the gas tank.
Had to replace the alternator due to big stereo. grounded the battery better to correct the problem.
General comments?
This is a very reliable and gets 25-30 miles per gallon (when not racing).
Very fast car, does 0-60 in 8 seconds.
Haven't timed the 1/4 mile yet.
Very good handling and smooth ride. 100 miles per hour feels like 60.
Interior has plenty of room and is very comfortable.
