"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.

In los angeles california you can get a low mileage engine with about 50,000 miles on it for about 1,100 dollars. i know because I saw one in the warehouse where I bought a 200sx nissan engine for 250.00 dollars. and had it installed for another 200.dollars.so instead of 2,000 dollars + why not replace the whole engine. try watanabe used engines shipped from japan. you can have one of these engines tested before its installed in your car. check the recycler paper its online or car parts. com or at your local newstand under car parts. you don't have to be a woman to be taken by a mechanic now a days. especially at your friendly car dealer. good luck and research before you do any repairs. there is so much info on the internet.p.s.also check low mileage japanes on the internet. they will even show you a picture of each engine.
