1994 Honda Legend review from UK and Ireland
"Big car for those who do not want attention"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One of the anti-lock break sensors failed.
The air conditioner idler tension cable failed.
A rust spot came through the rear panel of the boot lid.
Rust on both sets of drivers side door hinges.
Oil pressure warning light comes on even when there is sufficient oil.
General comments?
I feel I have been a bit unlucky with my car and I suspect it was maybe not that well made in the first place. There are various rattles and squeaks from under the dashboard and around the door lock on the drivers side and around the middle pillar where the seat belt is. It has not been totally reliable, but then neither was my last car a Honda Accord. My parents have run Hondas for years with no great problems, so I just feel unlucky.
Good performance, OK ride, poor handling.
Good interior space, very good boot space.
Poor performance from the air conditioning, but even with the leather seats it does not get too warm inside if sitting in the direct sun.
Very well equipped, seat adjustment excellent for tall people with bad backs.
Stylish, rare, does not attract thieves.
