1991 Acura Legend Base Model review from North America
"Very happy with this car, quick and comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced sub-par Acura music system with new audio system and installed 10CD player in trunk.
Approximately, 2 years after purchase, AC slowly did not blow cool air. In 2005 replaced AC system from R-12 to environmentally safer R-22.
Driver side automatic window goes up at a crawl; needs manual help sometimes.
Constantly needs front end wheel alignment.
At one point, dash light constantly pointed out brake lamp light is out. Replaced light, later same problem. After month or so, problem went away.
Replaced 2 Radiators.
Dark blue paint oxidizing, very noticeable on top.
2006, back door auto-lock is noisy and acting up.
Battery cable copper attachment that goes on battery terminal cracked; needs replacement.
Odometer Reset does not work reliably, constantly needs pressing quite a few times to reset to 0000.
General comments?
20-23 MPG city/hwy combined.
Coming up on a major preventative maintenance.
