1992 Acura Legend LS review from North America
"Bling Bling!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car is making a clicking sound that seems like the body/frame is being stretched or so.
Front left side is making a squeaking sound which I still don't know exactly what it is.
A/C temperature dial inside was twitching for about a week or two, but has stopped for some reason.
Car was upgraded to 18" rims and the tires are being eaten alive on the inside track of the tires. Car was bought used with brand new tires. It's only been about 20K miles, and tires may need replacing soon.
One spot on passenger seat is worn out, but not that bad, considering it's a 14 year old car.
Master (brake) cylinder needed replacement ($70) because it was leaking brake fluid.
Regular maintenance (Oil/filter change, coolant change, etc.)
General comments?
There may have been other problems before I got the car, but these are ones that I have encountered with 20K miles of traveling so far. In my opinion, I just love this car. Although those clicking and squeaking noises are just bugging me, I still love it other than that.
On stock suspension, it doesn't quite handle as I would like. But considering that it is a luxury coupe, it handles fine. Acceleration is average. It's pulling 200 horses, so it's plenty for most people. It's a sleeper car, that no other people think of when buying cars. It's an attention getter definitely.
