Timing belt, ball bearings and CV joints needed to be changed.
If you haven't driven a Vigor with manual transmission, you have not really driven a Vigor. I was impressed with the clutch and stick shift of the Acura.
This car is very fast and the leather seats oooo la la. Very nice!! Dash is very nicely done, very handsome. However, I was disappointed with the plain looking factory wheels. So I upgraded them to 17 inch BBS RX rims and I put Eibach springs on the car.
Vigor is the cheapest way of making BMW owners wonder why they paid so much money for their cars. Get a Vigor!!
I owned a 5 speed 1994 Vigor GS from 10/93 until I traded it in on a 5 speed 2001 BMW 530i in 1/01.
I'll defer on the issue of price differential for a moment to say the first time I took my Vigor in the canyons, I was totally surprised by how well it tracked corners. The suspension was also very good at eliminating just the right amount of bumps and jiggles but still leaving you with a good feel for the road. Of course the manual tranny gave it some extra zip too.
Yes, the Bimmer is probably the "Ultimate Driving Machine", but my 5 speed Vigor was a very close second and a lot less dough. Acura would have had a repeat customer if they kept it in their lineup!
