1993 Acura Legend L review from North America
"Drives excellent and very powerful. Very nice body style"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The head gasket blew.
The rotors warped which cause the car to shake when applying the brakes.
The cooling system in this car is very difficult to maintain.
General comments?
The car is very quick and rides smooth. I have no complaints when it comes to looks, handling, and performance. The cars engine runs quite and purrs like a kitten. Excellent interior styling. Although for such an expensive car the head gaskets blow easily on it. Its very sad to see that Honda-acura would not recall this problem. I didn't extensive research on the 1991-1995 legend and found that out of 10 legends 8 will blow the headgasket between 80,000 miles and up. This should not happen with such and luxury car. Fixing the heads on this car can cost you between 2,000-3500 dollars which is not worth the time. And from research it will happen again.
