1992 Acura Legend LS review from North America
""How do you expect to be a legend if you don't drive one?""
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No major problems with this car, just routine maintenance and wear tear parts. (Brakes, light bulbs, etc.)
General comments?
I purchased this car from the original owner in 1996 with 60000Km fully documented at local Acura dealer, with only fluid change in four years, I was skeptical at first, but the car was amazing to drive, very responsive, I drive four others before looking at this one and I knew it was a keeper.
I had timing belt replaced in 1997.
Replaced the radiator in 2000.
Timing Belt replaced again in 2002,I change every five years.
My wife had a minor mishap in 2002,passenger front wheel got hit, insurance covered, still rides very well.
My wife presently drives this car, we purchased a relatively new RL in 2002 (2002 RL with 8000KM).
I would recommend the Legend to anyone, but considering the age it will most likely impossible to find one in pristine condition.
This car still turns heads whenever we are out, most people still don't believe that it is a 1992.
I also had it painted in 2000,being outside for eight years fades the paint a lot, color is Harvard Blue.
