The car needed a right-side outer CV boot replaced at the time of purchase. The only other repairs have been maintenance items (tires, brake pads, timing belt/water pump).
If nobody is perfect, this car must be nobody.
This is by far the most exceptional vehicle I have ever owned, and I have had many.
The Legend Type II engine is nothing short of amazing. It's 230 horsepower makes it more than capable of passing almost every other car out there.
Even with it's great power, it is still great on gas mileage- 28 mpg highway average.
The car handles like a true sports car and sticks to the pavement no matter how sharp the turns.
The styling is aggressive and timeless. With the midnight black pearl paint and spoiler, it is very eye-catching and I am always complimented on the car's appearance.
This was a insightful review (Legend Coupe). I did not know that Acura had upped the horsepower to 230. I own a 1991 Legend LS Sedan and still drive it, though I have added a 2005 Lexus RX to my stable. The Legend was and is, the finest car Acura has ever made. Ask any car dealer and they will tell you the same.
It might be fun to buy one of these babies -- if you could find one -- and enjoy a long weekend tooling down the asphalt.
This is indeed a timeless car, of beautiful design. A car with great heart. Something that the new RL sadly lacks, some ten years after Acura foolishly put the Legend out to pasture.
If you could find one? As it turns out, I happen to have a 1995 Acura Legend LS Coupe, Black on Black, with only 76,100+ miles. The car has a spoiler, Bose/Alpine Premium 6-Disk Sound System (Trunk Mounted), Premium Wheels, Tinted Glass, Heated Seats/Mirrors, Memory Seats/Steering, 4 new Michelin's (XGTV4), Type II Engine (230 hp), AWESOME body and paint (all original with no door dings, chips, etc.) and EVERYTHING works perfectly.
If a person were interested in purchasing this vehicle, I am considering selling. I will be retiring in 3 years and have not made the decision as to whether I want to take 3 vehicles into retirement with me.
If anyone is interested, you may contact me (Jim Lane) at DrSWAT@cox.net and I would be happy to make arrangements to send several pictures of the car. Please be aware, I will NOT "give it away". The car is as close to perfect as you'll find and not cheap.
