1991 Acura Legend L Coupe on 2040-cars
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
|
“Wow, that’s a lot for a 24 year old Acura” At first glance that’s what I would think too- but words
don’t do this car justice and this 2 owner car isn’t for just anybody. This
beauty is probably best suited for either the Honda NA museum or someone who had
a Legend at one time in the past and would like to relive those days. If you
could walk into an Acura dealership and buy a Legend this car is what you would
drive off the showroom floor. This car has always been garaged when not being driven,
hidden from UV rays, never seen snow and rarely seen rain. During the winters
while stored it was started and ran monthly. The original owner is the mother
of my NSX tech, an Acura factory trained master tech. Frankly part of the
reason I bought the car in the first place is that it is that it was impeccably
maintained, is gorgeous and is the same color combo as my NSX- red with tan- so
they look awesome sitting together. This Legend L with a dealer-installed rear spoiler is as
close as you can get to LS trim, the only difference being the black side
moldings that are body color on the LS. It has soft-close doors like my wife’s Phaeton,
leather interior, dealer-installed wind deflector and sheepskin seat covers. The
paint is original with no accidents or repaints. About 3 years ago to update the look I tinted the windows,
installed lowering springs and larger more modern 18” wheels to bring this
classic design current. The original wheels are included, have no curb rash and
are in the same condition as the rest of this 36K classic. The newer wheels
have a couple small blemishes on the curb side. This car could easily be
returned to as new with minimal effort. The interior is as outstanding as the exterior. The front
seats have always been covered with OEM sheepskin covers except when the
leather was being cleaned and conditioned. A picture shows the driver’s seat bottom and
side bolsters uncovered to show the like new condition of the original seats. Pictures
show the car with a new set of OEM floormats in place (purchased with the car
new) as well as the originals which have always been shampooed and are in
perfectly acceptable condition themselves. I actually prefer the look of the
originals as the new, unused mats just look too perfect if there is such a
thing. This car can be driven anywhere in high style and comfort. Everything operates and functions as it should
and as new. Occasionally the ABS light comes on; a restart clears this and I
haven’t bothered to look any further into it since it clears itself. The only cosmetic
blemishes on this car are minimal rock chips on the grill garnish (not the hood
itself), one on the front bumper cover and a small area on the rear cover
(pictured). The front chips will be easily touched up and a decision on the
rear will be up to the next owner. So that’s about it. Nothing forces the sale of this car
besides too many horses in the corral. With an original price of 34K after
dealer options, I don’t think the asking price is unreasonable for the right
buyer who wants a virtually brand new, meticulously maintained 24 year old
timeless classic that you simply can’t walk into a dealership and buy today. Thanks

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
2019 Acura NSX Track Test Review | Exotic tech, exhilarating performance
Wed, Nov 7 2018EAST LIBERTY, Ohio — The 2019 Acura NSX makes sonorous noises behind my ear as the tachometer soars toward 7,500 rpm. My hands grip the squared-off steering wheel a bit too hard as I scrub off about 60 mph and dive into the first corner of the Transportation Research Center (TRC) dynamic handling course. There's 3,878 pounds of car beneath me, but the front tires do exactly what my hands tell them to, without hesitation, and I'm through the double apex corner without even thinking about the defiance of physics I just witnessed. On paper, a nearly 4,000-pound track car makes no sense. Yet in practice, it's just as tossable and eager to change direction as something much lighter. This is the NSX's party trick, thanks to some magic with the suspension and all-wheel drive system on this car. And while the new NSX is a very different vehicle than its predecessor, it was born of a similar spirit of innovation and forward thinking. The original Acura NSX hit the streets in 1991, establishing a new set of rules for every supercar released since. Constructed of an aluminum body — still an exotic material mainly used in competition vehicles — with curves that still drop jaws today, it was every bit as sophisticated as a Ferrari. But unlike Ferraris of the time, it was also reliable and easy to drive. Slide behind the wheel of a 1991 NSX, and you'll be transported back to a time when outward visibility was still in style. You can see the ground right in front of the nose. Turn around, and there's nothing blocking your view but a low wing. It's essentially a bubble canopy. Acura knows owners of the original NSX, your author included, absolutely love this about their cars. The effort to make the cockpit of the NSX similar is appreciated, even if modern crash standards prevent a perfect implementation. There are other subtle throwbacks. Every original NSX made a distinctive intake whine when winding it up to 8,000 rpm, and the new NSX has real intake noise physically pumped into the cabin to replicate this sweet sound all the way through the rev band. Another echo of the original is the simplified, sedate dash layout — eminently usable and likely to age well. A simplified version of the new RDX infotainment system would have fit the bill, too, but sadly it's not present. Under way, however, the generational similarities cease. Our time on this trip in the 2019 model was spent solely on track at TRC, and it was a wholly different experience from the old car.
