The flagship that put Acura on the map—a mid-size luxury sedan and coupe that was Honda’s answer to BMW and Mercedes. It was smooth, reliable, and built like a tank. It’s a classic.
The Legend was a front-wheel-drive unibody mid-size luxury sedan and coupe. 1st gen (1986-1990): 2.5L C25A V6 (151 hp) or 2.7L C27A V6 (161 hp). Transmissions: 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto. 2nd gen (1991-1995): 3.2L C32A V6 (200-230 hp). Transmissions: 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto.
The Legend is very reliable. The C-series V6s are excellent—they’re chain-driven, aluminum-block, and durable. The 5-speed manual is great. The 4-speed auto is reliable. The main issues are the head gaskets on the early models (they can fail) and rust. The Legend is a classic.
