1991 Acura Legend Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I loved this car, this was one of the most fun cars i had. It had decent power, it was capable of achieving 140MPH, yet still filtered out road noise and was just about as much fun as you could get in a front wheel drive car. Great car, heavy, luxurious, all around a really nice car. I think the prices are a little inflated now, but when they things like They dont make em like they used to! This would be a great example of that. Apr 16, 2024

Amazing car, way ahead of it's time in terms of handling, smoothness and quality. Introduced to compete with the Lexus LS 400 and it shows in the quality of the fixtures and fitings. This car is 21 years old, has done 177,000 miles and is tight and rattle free. The fact that it was dealer serviced up to 160,000 probably helps, but everything, and I mean everything works just like new....Jul 15, 2012

Performance: Fast little car with a big Honda engine Build Quality: Great build quality, I wish the leather seats would of lasted longer, most Acura seats break down quick Apperance: It's a good looking car all the way around you look at it. It looks even sexier with the spoiler and the new wheels Cost of Ownership: Expensive to maintain, so far replaced Engine, Radiator, Brakes, bunch of hoses. Only 144K miles on the new engine Fun Factor: Fun car to drive, I drive at least 100 miles a day from work and cruising around townJul 31, 2010

Where do I start? This car was 10 years ahead of its time. The technology that sits under the hood is something that is common place in today's automobiles, but was state of the art in 1991. With a $30,000+ price tag brand new, the performance that this car exhibits is no laughing matter. The first gear acceleration from a dead stop is typical of what you'd expect from an import product, but when this V6 hits second gear with the pedal pinned to the ground, you better hold on tight!!! The torque steer is quite intense while you're thrust into the seat hanging on for dear life as the RMP's rev, the tires let out a fierce chirp and you pull away from all unsuspecting vehicles around you. A sleeper?...that's putting it mildly. I had no idea the Acura Legend was such a firecracker. Stopping power is only satisfactory from the all around disc brakes. This car could definitely benefit from larger brakes. Handling is great. Because of its low stance, this car corners like a bastard. I quite enjoy out-cornering most modern cars when I'm out driving my Legend. It's funny to watch other cars trying to keep up with me. The build quality of this car is definitely up there with the finest cars that automotive manufacturers have to offer. After 235,000 kilometers, this car still runs strong and has a reasonably tight suspension. The only major repair that had to be done to this car was the head gaskets when I bought it...apparently a common issue with these cars at around the 200,000 km mark. Like a lot of the early 90's Honda products, this car never seems to die. It takes the abuse I throw at it everyday as my daily driver and continues to perform well beyond what I need it to do. I cannot believe I haven't gotten a speeding ticket in this car yet!!! (I should quite while I'm ahead) Styling wise, I love how aggressive the front end looks. It looks like it's going a million miles an hour standing still. The rear end, however always left something to be desired in my opinion. I much prefer the softer curves of the four door sedan Legend's rear end. Inside the dash and center console is classy with a little touch of faux woodgrain, but not too much to make you think you're driving an "old person's" Mercedes! Fully loaded with leather interior, heated seats and climate control, this is very much a young and successful person's car. You feel great driving it because it has great looks and lot of power. Fuel economy is great for 6 cylinder. I only got 50 kilometers more to a tank on average with my old Honda Accord 4 banger. Maintenance?...other than regular oil changes and giving the car a wash and vacuum every now and then, I rarely have to lift a finger to keep this car going strong. I've owned four other cars before this one and the Legend is by far the most enjoyable car I've ever driven. It's quick, stylish and user friendly. You'd be hard pressed to ever get me to give this car up. I absolutely love it!Mar 14, 2010
