Faults:

A/C compressor was not working when I bought the car. Still haven't fixed it.

RF strut rebuilt this year.

Replaced steering rack with rebuilt unit when I bought the car.

Shifts fairly hard- probably due to age and normal. Tolerable, though.

General Comments:

I bought this car even though the steering was shot: it was a Florida car and a bargain at $3800. After this repair and a total alignment, the car really was transformed.

The Legend is a great balance between comfort and handling: I'm a sports car enthusiast, but not hard core. Great road feel is combined with superb visibility and ergonomics.

I've driven 3 of the highly-regarded BMW 5 series sedans and honestly say I prefer the feel of my car to the Bimmer.

I understand that Acura ruined the car after 1995, but the huge following this car has is definitely warranted and deserved. I drove up for a test drive in a used Lexus LS 400 and the salesman looked at my car and said "Great Ride" and when I got back into it following the test, I had the same thoughts.

Other positives: Great styling (musclebound, but not overtly so). Classic lines and proportions. Functional large gauges.

Negatives: No CD player. One cheesy cup holder. Not much else, really.

Faults:

The radiator hose sprung a leak at 166000 km.

First set of tyres wore out at 120000 km.

That's it.

General Comments:

For a large luxury sedan I was very impressed with the quickness and handling and steering response. When I first owned the car I was getting about 13km per liter (31mpg). Then around 80000-90000km, it decreased to 10 km per liter (23 mpg?). I sold it for $17,000 ($10,000) and bought an Acura RSX last April, which in a way I am sad about it. I would recommend this car to anyone.

Faults:

Had to replace the passenger side drive shaft 3 times, driver's side once.

Driver's side window died.

Passenger's side on the way out.

Speed sensor went.

Ignition switch is becoming a nuisance, turns off a lot.

Won't spin the tires from a standstill.

Lock solenoid turns on and off at random.

Horn went, replaced with a 160dB air horn.

Won't go faster than 150 :(

General Comments:

This car is a pretty good car, even though I've had trouble with it, it still starts up and goes 0-60 in 5.8sec so I can't complain too much.

The one thing I wish they had done with this car is make a rear wheel drive version, because understeer at 110mph is real scary.

All in all though, for a V6 and 200hp pulling 3500+ pounds, and going and handling like it does, I'd have to highly recommend this automobile to anyone.

Faults:

Front drive shaft blew out at 100,100 miles.

Driver's side window rolls up slowly.

Cup holder sticks.

Squeaks in the rear passenger side disk brake.

Passenger side A/C fan will periodically rattle or click.

General Comments:

Despite some of the faults I have listed, this is a great car. I bought it as a car to get around town in, to put about 12,000 miles per year on, and it has performed better than I expected.

The performance and comfort of this car is exceptional. I did have to replace the front differential, which did cost more than I had anticipated, but other than that, this car performs better than some brand new cars that I have had before. I often will get comments from those who see the car or who I give rides to, that it seems like it is a one or two year old car.

From what I have read on the Internet, this will continue to be a reliable car, as long as I keep up my regular maintenance.
