1989 Acura Legend L review from North America
"The car is great for long distance driving."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The oil pressure light came on and I pulled over and shut the car off. I started it again and it came on again a short time later. I had the car towed to the dealer and they fixed it quickly and for a more or less reasonable $270. Also clutch went out, very expensive to fix: $960 at dealer or $750 by my mechanic. Way too expensive for a clutch!!
General comments?
This car runs so nice. It is a 2dr coupe, 5 speed and it is very nice and powerful. This car has every possible option on it and everything works great. Good acceleration and decent gas mileage. As a big man, I don't fit into it height-wise very well, but put the seat back and it is quite comfortable. I don't like the leather seats, uncomfortable in the summer. Trunk is also not that big. Car is very fun to drive...
