  Good deal for 113k $1,400 in 2003 - 1990 Acura Legend
  By Misha - July 29 - 6:03 pm

  Still driving having put 10k on this beauty over 7 years, and little more than new tires, brakes and occasional battery or filter. Poor mileage (23 hwy) when driven to Calgary, Canada in January 2004, but otherwise perfect, esp. over Montana. Five-speed manual offers great handling and leather/electric everything is superb. Needs some body work, but only drive in summers, so no problem. G

  Old car for Young driver - 1990 Acura Legend
  By bensterk - December 30 - 8:00 pm

  My grandmother purchased this car used When I got my license she gave it to me. It currently has 171,000 miles. We have had some problems with it. For example, the starter went out and left me stranded at taco bell. Head seal broken which leaks oil on the engine which smokes= embarrassing. We had to get the Alarm system deactivated because it kept going off. Also, the ABS breaks are completely broken. But, this car can be so fun to drive, light steering and great throttle response. Seats are comfortable. The ride is very comfortable over normal conditions yet it can still be sporty. All in all a very fun car full of vigor and character.

  I Looooove This Car!!! - 1990 Acura Legend
  By BDCarguy - May 15 - 2:14 pm

  I just bought this car for my first car about 2 months ago and I must say I am very pleased with it all the way around. To my surprise and delight I found out that a 19 year old car with 230k miles can still kick on the highway. The torque produced by the low volume V-6 makes this car jump off the line like no other! I dont think Ive seen another front wheel drive car that can burn out. I had to drive it hard for a while just to break it in and get a feel for it and found that it is surprisingly easy to chirp the tires into second and I even heard a squeak into third. The comfort factor on the seats has to be a nine but the lack of cup holders is disappointing...

  Very nice car! - 1990 Acura Legend
  By Molly - May 1 - 4:36 pm

  I bought this car with 200000 miles on it and it is still running very well at 220000. Great first car! Not the greatest mpg (22-23) but it is V6. It handles very well and still can beat a newer car in a race! Im going to be very sad when it dies, but then again it still wants to run, I dont know many cars that will top 220000 miles and stil be running as well as it is now! Wonderful car I cant imagine driving anything else!!

  The best car for the money! - 1990 Acura Legend
  By ikeberry - February 7 - 9:12 am

  I bought this car when it had 245,000 miles. I have continued to drive it without any major problems. It now has 279K. The car is 17 years old and still is holding up to the New York winters. Little exterior rust. Interior leather has not held up good through the years, cracked and needs to be covered over. Engine still has some get up and go in it.

  EXCELLENT VEHICLE! - 1990 Acura Legend
  By PETER - July 11 - 11:22 pm

  I bought the car about 2 years ago with 183K miles. It has given excellent service for a 15 year car. The car is in fair shape. I replaced timing belt a year ago it was the original according to the mechanic. Great car!

  Fun but expensive - 1990 Acura Legend
  By slindenbaum - May 3 - 2:00 am

  I bought it with 45,000 miles on it. It is fun to drive but have had repeated problems with the ABS system. Replaced rear window regulators (left one twice), steering rack, distributor, and numerous other parts over years. Now paint is shot and leather front seats are severly cracked. Spending $1000+ annually. Am replacing it with a 3.2CL-S 6-speed.

  pretty good car - 1990 Acura Legend
  By D.D. - February 20 - 2:00 am

  This car was great cinsidering it is my first car, but it has also cost a bit, for example, 500 bucks for a/c fixing and another 700 in a/c repairs still needed, power steering leak (a couple hundred) new battery ($100), a new paintjob and a few other repairs, nothing too huge, but right now, i think my transmission is slipping and it makes a funny noise when i turn

  Great Long-Term Car - 1990 Acura Legend
  By Homie-D - October 10 - 2:00 am

  2nd Acura Legend Owned. Bought at 100k. Great mechanical engine with only minor repairs till 200k. Car is 13 yrs old now - so things are finally needing repair - A/C / brakes / etc... BUT - no major engine or transmission troubles. Leather seats are severly cracked. Have know other Legends to run upwards of 300k miles. At 13 years old - can expect to have some repairs - but happy they are not huge $s.

  Great car if take carre of it - 1990 Acura Legend
  By Geter - December 10 - 2:00 am

  This is the second 1st generation Legend I have owned and love it. As long as you use synthetic oil, keep the tranny fluid changed and change the timing belt before its due, youll be good to go. Automatic tranny is a little too happy about downshifting sometimes, but overall Ive been loving this car.
