1994 Acura Legend Review
Price Estimate: $5,852 - $9,483

Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
What’s new
The base Legend is dropped from the lineup and a GS sedan is added. The new sedan offers the same 230-horsepower engine found in the coupe as well as traction control and a sport-tuned suspension. A new grille and bumpers find their way to all Legends and the LS coupe gets a new chin-spoiler. An automatically tilting steering wheel raises as soon as the key is removed from the ignition. Further improvements include a steering wheel position memory that is incorporated into the seat memory feature.

Love this car! Best $600 I ever spent!
5 out of 5 starsDavid Johnson, 03/28/2016
1994 Acura Legend LS 4dr Sedan
I bought my 4DR Legend LS from its original owner on Craigslist. It had 196K miles on it and needed head gaskets, which the owner was honest about, and the paint was a little faded. So I spent 2 weekends taking the heads off, and while I was in there I put in new belts, hoses, and a rebuilt alternator and starter from Napa. Contrary to other reviews, the engine does *not* need to come … out of the car to do this. That was 4 years and 40K miles ago. To celebrate the fact that I'll probably own this car another 10 years, I had it painted for $1000 by another guy I found on Craigslist a few month ago and it looks like new again! I've driven it from Colorado to California, all over Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, in all kinds of weather, including ski trips to the mountains. It has never let me down and the performance is amazing for such an old car. Even my girlfriend loves it!
Update: April 2017. Still driving this car every day. Had a small oil leak at the oil pump gasket over the winter, but it only took me 1/2 hour and a $4 O-ring to fix. No other problems.
Still a wonderful Car Get One if you can

1994 Acura Legend L 2dr Coupe
This car is superb in almost every way. It has almost every convenience and then some on cars that are only 2-3 years old! The only 2nd generation Legend to get is the 1993-1995 years, since you get the upgraded 230HP motor. The City Mileage is pretty bad at 15-17mpg on average, but if I'm just cruising on the highway I get 25.3mpg. (Properly tuned, PSI in tires and 67mph) I've added … some more recent features to it, bringing it a bit more up-to-date. Most people think my Legend is a 2004 model year! The coupes are truly beautiful. If you can score one with low miles and that has been maintained well, you will basically step into a 45k dollar luxury car for no more than 6-7k tops.
Best Car I've ever owned

1994 Acura Legend LS 2dr Coupe
When I purchased my Legend, new in
1994, I never thought I'd still own it
in 2003. I love this car! It has
never had any problems, and is still
fun to drive. I started looking at new
cars in 2000, just because I've always
gotten a new car every 5-6 years, but I
have yet to find a car that drives and
looks as good as my ( now old) Legend
Coupe. I may drive this car … forever---
it sure seems like it will run forever.
Worth buying used if cared for

1994 Acura Legend L 2dr Coupe
The car drives very well. Handling and steering are nice and responsive. The brakes are probably the most undesirable on the car, but they are efficient. The interior and exterior designs and features are excellent. The car is very comfortable and luxurious. I bought mine used, and decided to spend 7k repainting it and putting new suspension components in the car. It looks and handles … like new, but for a fraction of the cost of a new car with the amenities this has. If you buy a Legend, you will love it.
