they are.. its just that this is all standard stuff now.. back then it was revolutionary.. my 2012 honda accord 6x6 has all this stuff except for the power seat belts, power adjustable steering wheel, and the back windows power roll down.. but all those stuff are standard on Acuras.. especially if you get a rlx.. which this was the coupe for (legend = rl =rlx)

Honda was at the top of their game during this time. They paid attention to every small detail, used high quality OEM suppliers and appealed to enthusiasts. Nowadays Honda (and Toyota & Nissan) are a shell of their former selves and are simply resting on their laurels. Very sad.

ETCG1 yup I bought it from my brother for $4000 and he fully rebuilt the engine before he sold it to me! took me 2 years to pay it off but man am I happy with what I have. The only problem with the car is that the synchros are going out in the transmission and they need to be replaced. but that will be done later down the line. anyways you should probably check out the Acura Legend owners and enthusiasts page on Facebook, there is a lot of resources on there and people who can hook you up with hard to find parts

in my senior year in high school year i had a 4 door pearl white one in mint condition. It came to me from a g from new york. (should of made a copy of the title). When cleaning it i found gunshot shells, 9mm bullets, like $50 dollars worth in change on the floor by the driver seat. 217k miles. The driver seat was a bit worn but not bad. The other seats were like new. Drove it to 270k milles and a friend totaled it. Real sad day. That car was a true Legend. I've had different, much newer, luxury cars since then and they have all had something wrong with them. You sir, got a sub. You know more things about me than this car and i went over the dealer manual for my car lol

I'm telling you, you should really focus on Honda vids. Produce a 15+ minute video about each model's development. Get your hands on a loaner of each interesting model (si, gsr, nsx, type r) and wring it out over at mid-Ohio. Check out Victory by Design for a great format you could bring back. Interview Honda engineers and racing personalities. Isn't the Honda plant close to you? You and Brian should go film it. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Nothing screams 1990s like a motorized radio antenna. :-) Nice car though - Honda really did a great job in this era. By modern standards, of course, it’s not fast - but like you said, it’s acceptable even today. And back then, it was pretty darn powerful for the price. Acura was still trying to make a name for themselves back then - they definitely pushed the envelope a bit more than they do today. I’m really looking forward to your future videos with this car.

Very nice car, Eric, great find. Amazing to see no rust whatsoever. The attention to detail back then was everything with the Jap cars. I once owned a 1985 Mitsubishi Galant - it was years ahead of most other cars on the UK roads. Inside it was extremely quiet and relaxing to drive - your average Ford, Opel, VW or even BMW felt like a noisy tank compared to it. Sadly standards must have slipped over the years, because many years later i bought a 1999 Galant - i was disappointed with how average it felt.

Oh, interesting that you bring up the mid-80s Galant. A friend's dad had a late 80s Galant wagon and that was a wonderful vehicle. It even felt better than my other friend's Camry sedan -- which was a very nice car in the late 80s. I'm in full agreement that 10+ years down the line, Mitsubishi had lost their way.

And i believe seats are not torn or really faded much. If i was closer I'd just haul the car down, but sadly I'm in SK Canada, anyways, ill check it all after work and send you an email.

I've always wanted a car with the right bumps to help with MPG, but way to scary to do it on purpose! Mythbusters did a test on this, but they scaled the bumps up. It worked, but it was done with heavy clay (of course, it was a cruising gas mileage comparison and not including acceleration). Did they have to scale it up for it to work? I'll never know.

Acura has always been ahead of it's time. I have always loved this car and I'm currently looking for one myself, you're very lucky to have found this one. A friend of mines used to have one and he asked me did I want to buy it when he was ready to sell but I declined because he had an automatic and it wasn't a type II but deep down inside I regret not buying it. One thing I can say about it, he babied the car the whole time he had it and the service was tight on it so it would have been a great buy.

I fucking love these cars and I wish the ghetto didn't swallow them up and destroy them so quickly and terribly. Everyone loves the Lexus LS series when it comes to 90's Jap luxury cars, but these Acuras are a undeniably awesome.

Dang i can't believe you found this car. These Acura Legends with the manual transmission are Awesome vehicles and are super Rare! The Legends and the CB7 Accords 90 to 93 are some of my Favorite Honda cars of all time. I have a 93 accord coupe with the manual transmission but I'd Looove to own that one.

I had a 95 legend GS for my first car, great car, never had problems, my friend got a 98 Mercedes S420 had more problems for sure, but the interior and ride was on another level. The legend wasn't close to as nice as that. Was a lot more reliable though. I'd go for an LS400 of that period over either though.

Such a great find from the apex of Honda / Acura's engineering and manufacturing. I remember looking at the build quality of my '94 Integra LS v. my current '01 Integra GSR. The welds on the '94 were so much cleaner and tolerances between parts seemed just a hair better. That Legend was beyond my financial reach at the time, but I would have bought one if I had the means. Thanks for sharing this vehicle.

Very awesome car! I had a '91, white on black cloth interior, 5-speed manual. Loved it, but a knee injury forced me to sell it for a slushbox. Had it longer than I've owned anything else, about five years. Never let me down, not even once. There's a very close-knit community of enthusiasts for these cars, and parts can definitely be found if you're seeking them.

Eric you have good taste in cars. I have driven these when they were new back in the "90's and also felt that this was a high point for the Japanese car makers. I have always liked these so I understand how you feel. I occasionally see one of these from time to time and have seen a coupe recently that was in excellent condition. They still turn heads, especially with the people that know what they are. Good choice on your part and keeping it stock is the wisest thing you could do. Keep working on it and keep us informed.
