I have a 94 LS coupe and I love it. Not because it’s fast, or the unique color, or the comfort of the interior, but because when ppl see it they say “what’s that?” It’s also an heirloom and pretty to look at lol
I put over 80,000 km on a 91 with a seeping head gasket, it overheated every time I drove it, and it drove exactly the same every day, even it’s last drive to the wrecker when mold saturated the interior. They’re tough as nails in my experience
Owner of a 95 coupe here bought it last year with 88k miles on the dash it’s a great car even with it being the base model and a 4speed automatic people complement the car on a regular basis
I had a '91 Legend Coupe with a manual transmission. I owned it until 1998 and to this day it's the most comfortable car I've ever owned, and I've owned BMWs and Porsches since - it was basically a poor man's Mercedes SL. Watching this video is bringing back some great memories!
What are the odds I decide to relive my past and look up acura legend a few hours after you post this video. I love these things and they're severely underrated. I miss my 94 type 2 coupe 💔
I’ve recently became fond of them myself a few years ago (I’m now 26), I remember seeing these everywhere in the early-mid 2000s, but my advice to you is keep looking for one because I’ve seen a few used ones from time to time on either Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace
Hako I don't know how old you are but the Acura Legend was the signature drug dealer car in hood when it came out. If you were driving through a bad neighborhood and saw an Acura Legend it probably belonged to a big time drug dealer.
Gotta be accurate if you're gonna make an ULTIMATE buyer's guide. First off, NOBODY should buy this car UNLESS you are a Legend enthusiast or someone who can fix them because it's topping 30 years old. My '91 coupe is obviously 32 years old by the time of this writing, and yes... I can fix and maintain mine myself. No mechanical or electrical issues whatsoever, just needs a paint job now. Second, the blown head gasket is usually a symptom of a clogged EGR system. It will happen again if you just replace the head gasket without cleaning the carbon from the EGR system. Third, Lexus and Infinity arguably only bested the Legend in HP and torque because the Legend was first, and those companies were playing catch-up. However nobody remembers the Lexus and Infinity offerings like they remember The Legend!! When I speak to people who owned Legends and replaced them prematurely, they usually wish they hadn't!! Lastly, the Legend coupe never had GS trim. The Type II engine with upgraded dual piston brakes were standard on ALL coupes starting from '93 - I'm talking both the L and LS trim. The sedan only got these upgrades in the sedan-exclusive GS trim for '94 and '95. FYI this is my favorite car of all time. I own two of them, a '91 coupe and a '95 coupe. My '91 is my daily driver, gets the best gas mileage of my 5-car fleet, and is the most reliable vehicle I own. I will be rebuilding the engine to stock on my '95, as I bought that with a BHG. Full restoration of both coupes forthcoming!!
So when I do my head gasket on my 95 coupe type 2 I should clean the carbon in my egr system and then how lengthy of a job would you say head gasket is for the type 2 need anything special?
One car that I’ve ALWAYS admired, being born in 97 this is one of SEVERAL cars I remember seeing everywhere when I was a kid, Acura Legends and Vigors were VERY common back then
There is no such thing as a '93-'95 GS Coupe, or a '93-'95 Coupe without the Type II engine. GS Trim was only available on Sedans in '94 and '95, bringing the "Coupe's engine brakes and suspension to the Sedan.
I had a 1995 TY2 6sp, all the dope boys had them in NYC back in the day. My only gripe is that it wasn't RWD and that's why I didn't keep her around but let me tell you, it's one of my BIGGEST car regrets 18 years later.
I own and daily drive a Charcoal Granite Metallic coupe from 1991. I'm apparently a celebrity on my block for owning that and a 1995 Silver Metallic coupe. Since I moved to where I live in 2019 I've had about 15 people randomly stop at my house to talk about my Legends, and not just my own neighbors. I will admit that the color selection is not vibrant. However this car was made for wealthy executives and not young supercar fanboys with mainstream tastes, like juvenile Crayola colors, humongous spoilers, stupidly large NC rims, or front-end faces. The colors are premium and the paint lasts a LONG time with just washing. Plus with some tint the charcoal color lends a nice contrast with the darker tint and the brushed aluminum wheels. The competing Infinity was disgusting-looking and the competing Lexus, the 1990 Lexus LS barely matters at all today. Two corrections - every 2-door coupe from 1993-95 had the type II upgrade. The GS sedan was the only 4-door sedan trim to eventually get the type-II upgrades that the coupes already had by default. Type-II is only "rare" because coupes didn't sell well since they were somewhat less practical for family men. The coupe was, however, the more desired, and the flagship car for its years. Secondly the blown headgasket issue is caused by a clogged EGR system, which only happens due to poor maintenance. Change your oil at the proper intervals and you largely avoid this issue altogether. What you wouldn't know unless you owned one is that the build quality is high. With proper maintenance, this car does not break!! My 1991 coupe is the most reliable of my fleet of 5 vehicles, which includes a 2008 MDX, a 2009 Chevy Tracker, and a 2009 Chrysler 300C.
I’m gonna have to argue with you on this one. The Canterbury green even though duller in color has to be my favorite out of all the colors and the white one probably my least favorite. I think the white makes it look less luxurious if anything 🤨
To this day the 2 door 95 Acura Legend in white with the beige interior is one of my favorite car body styles to this day! Acura please bring this car back for the real Acura fans!
I could be wrong, (I frequently am), but I think the headgasket blows because the Electronic Control Module, (ECM) tube gets clogged and puts pressure on the back passenger side of the headgasket. If you replace the headgasket without cleaning the pipe the condition that blew the gasket in the first place continues to exist so it will blow again. Can anyone clarify?
Homework wasn't done. The BMW and Mercedes both lost tons of sales to the 1st and 2nd generation Legend. On top of that, try finding one of the Benz or Bimmers from the same year still running half as well as the Legendary Legend.
Enjoyed the video, as I have a 1995 sedan GS, automatic. Black with tan interior. Not nearly as nice as the ones presented in this video, still love the cars. Heated seats still work fine
Nice video but I’m going to have to argue about Canterbury Green Metallic 😂. I may be a little biased since at 5:32 that’s my actual car and it just so happens to be a 93 LS coupe (coupes were either L or LS models) with a 6 speed manual.
Are these things reliable, are they expensive to fix, and how long do they even last ? Because if they only last 200,000 miles before they need a new engine then id rather just buy another car.
Have a 1995 coupe auto with heated seats. 115k miles, super clean. Undrr the hood literally looks new. I have to sell it to get my daughter a new car to take to college. The acura would work but not ideal for teenager. Anyone looking for a clean one im in southern utah
I owned 3 Acura legends 2 coupes, I just don’t see value in them but I still love them cars. In the 90s Honda was on top not Lexus or infinity beat Honda with v8 lol
I Love this car. I have a 1994 Ls 2door coupe that is SUPER CLEAN 🙂. Can you please help me find "NEW MUD FLAPS" to put on the car. LINK PLEASE. THXS 😊
What people fail to realize you get what you pay for maaco isnot garbage believe it or not the thing is you have to go up in maaco with a bag atleast $4000 to get a bad ass proper paint job and if you go to a regular body and paint shop expect to spend anywhere from $5000 to almost $10,000 for a high quality paint job
