1989 Acura Legend L review from North America
"Luxury and performance for little money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing mechanical yet.
The leather is very sun damaged with cracks in the main exposure areas. I'm using seat covers for now, but may try and repair this later.
Rear view mirror mount broke, but fixed this with a $12 kit.
General comments?
Dang, I really like this car! It's zippy, well-fitted out, and very nice looking for its age. Got it from a neighbour who pampered it since she got it in '89 (but parked it outside and the Palm Springs sun just destroyed the leather).
After my former car was totalled (not my fault), could have used the settlement for another new car, but opted for the Legend as a cash-down solution. Look Ma, no payments!
