Shady dealer sold it to me with a gearbox problem. Took it to B'ham for repair - cost 1800 quid.
Back brake discs knackered - 500 quid.
So, I've spent 7500+ in total to get it up to scratch.
It's a V6 with a bloody big engine. It sounds like a V6 and growls when given some juice.
It looks like an ordinary Honda, so people don't know you have 210bhp waiting to be put to use. Awesome power and really is overpowered.
It's basically a rebadged American car, the Acura RL (as stated on the cover of the driver's manual). It even has daytime running light sockets on the lights for the USA. That's why it's a big luxurious ride for the larger gentleman.
I bought this car as a reult of having had three knee replacenent operations which proved unsuccessful. I also contracted MRSA. This reulted in my right leg being fused (fixed0. The wide doors of the legend allowed me to get ino the car with my leg straight out. The car converted easily to disabled controls and performs well. The boot is large and can carry a wheelchair and disabled scooter. It is a pleasure to drive.
I love this car.
With 0-60 in just 7.8 seconds, this car has enormous power and it somehow feels like a sports car on track. The handling is great, but the Honda Saber is better on clearing bends. With my traction control on, the Saber is more steady than the Legend, but the Legend handles better. It's very quick and comfortable, I've had my Legend for a year now and no problems yet, it still runs like new.
I don't like the new shape (2006-2009) it's smaller and it lacks the looks of "A REAL LEGEND", which the 1997- 2003 had.
I think it was a legend then, but please we are waiting for a better shape and size to rattle the S-Class Mercedes ancestors.
