1993 Acura Vigor GS review from North America

The car had many problems (routine maintenance items) that allowed me to talk the previous owner down more than 1K. Always have a mechanic inspect a car this old with these many miles, he could be your best bargaining tool.

The most serious problems were the amount of oil leaks this car had, almost every rubber O ring seal had to be replaced! (to be expected at 145K I'm told) Finding each leak was the biggest challenge, we had to power wash the entire underside of the engine compartment before we could identify all the leaks. Now that we have all the leaks fixed the car is dry as a bone.

The next problem (an item I will never pay to fix) is the dreaded blower motor fan. A pain to get to and extremely expensive to repair! I've only had problems with the blower motor in extremely cold temperatures when the car has sat in an open parking lot for an extended period. I've been told it's the wiring to the motor. I bought the car in a tepid climate so it's possible the previous owner had no idea. Had I known I probably would have passed on the car.

I've always been impressed with the quality of Acura/Honda cars. They continue to drive and feel the same as the day you buy them. Have owned 2 Integra's so have some good history to go on.

Car seems fast for a 5cyl. engine.

Ready for another 150K.

Don't care for the interior wood trim panels.

It feels solid and well built, no squeaks or rattles.
