The 1994 Acura Legend Coupe Proves that Acura Used to Be Cool
THANKS TO CLARION BUILDS! http://www.clarionbuilds.com/
The 1994 Acura Legend Coupe was a seriously cool Acura — if you can believe it. Today I’m reviewing this Legend Coupe and I’m showing you why the Acura Legend used to be a cool, exciting car.

DOUGSCORE CHART: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KTArYwDWrn52fnc7B12KvjRb6nmcEaU6gXYehWfsZSo
Huge trunk, good visibility, low maintenance costs, great reliability (e.g. no crazy electronic infotainment screens to break), easy to see out of, easy to get in and out of, easy to drive, kids love the back windows….PRACTICALITY = 4 out of 10? What vehicle represents a 10?
Trash car
Timmy MacGruber Toyota Previa.
Multipla.
People watch all the way to the Doug score?
TheHoipoloi I bet most people watch the videos till the end, at least I do so.
I wish this car was available where I live
Flipperman.TheTruth similar to Honda Prelude which you might be able to buy in UK if you are in UK))
I had a 4 door 91 Legend and I loved it.
Had a 93 4 door in green, still miss that car. It was amazing on long highway drives.
People are hard on modern Acuras, but I own one and it’s surprisingly similar in nature to this. Even has the same trunk main switch, same headlight chime. Mine has no body roll though. ?
I’d like to see Doug review a 2018 RLX Sport Hybrid. It’s the modern evolution of the legend, and in Japan is still sold as a legend. It has all wheel drive and a hybrid power train like the new NSX, and makes 377 horsepower. Bet it handles better than this legend, too, in spite of being a luxury car.
That’s an ugly car brah
They’re all automatic.
Yep, I have an 2016 RDX and I love it. It is comfortable and reliable. Unlike the BMW, and Audi’s I owned in the past.
Does your rlx have soft close doors? Is the reliability still up to par as compared to what Acura was in the 90’s
The biggest sin of modern Acuras is that they lack any sort of soul. They are merely…good cars. Not exceptional in any way at all.
This is one of the cars that it really needed a RWD Convertion
It wasn’t that bad… it ran the v6 longitudinally mounted with equal length drive shafts so torque steer was not bad at all… It had some don;t get me wrong under WOT going into 2nd and 3rd. I was always a bit surprised that no one did the NSX engine and drive line conversion on one of these It would have fit easily and had the transmission tunnel already there.
+Phil Maurer NSX has the engine in the back (mid mounted), so you would need an rwd gearbox anyway and some diff or put the engine instead of the rear seats ???
Because Honda don’t know what the fuck they’re doing. So close to a rwd classic but they had to chicken out and run the power back to the front.
The nsx is basically an accord with the engine in the back. Transverse everything
Was a guy in Houston Texas that had a 94 with a Rb25 swap. It was a R34 look alike
YES!!! The best car to start off 2019 with, ACURA LEGEND!
I can’t say it’s the best car, but it’s the best car name
GarageNextDoor almost trying to say that 2019 will be a legend
I used to have a white Legend coupe just like that! Awesome, fun car. Wish I still had it.
Where is it now?
my friend had one he loved that car he had wheels on it and a stereo it was nice
Then why did you got rid of it?
Better than any Acura today. Timeless classic.
The climate control in the legend is worse than an infotainment controlled hvac
Soft-close doors were on Mercedes and Bmw since begin 90’s. Seatbelt who present themselves were on all Mercedes coupes since 80s.
Gulyabani
BMWs 8 series in 1989 also was a good example
Gulyabani not on GLS 2017 for example
At 6:23 The warning chime sounds like the beginning to be home alone theme song. Take a listen
+Logan Kile Nissan had that chime for years
Doesnt sound like home alone at all tbh
My ’99 Tiburon had the same chime. Much better than the buzzers that were the thing with North American cars at the time… first thing I did was pull those @#$%& things out of the fuse panel where they usually lived.
E natural and C sharp
Hey I’m a kid friendly youtuber that makes my own very cool movies, I just published a really cool movie called Galaxy Beyond, it’s really cool and you should see it
Do the Acura vigor! It’s the ONLY 5 cylinder vehicle Honda ever made.
With a manual!
Always wondered why they went to the trouble of developing a 5 cylinder engine when they had the 2.2 four at the same time. Typical Honda of the 90s i guess.
Car yes, vehicle no. They raced a 5 cylinder motorbike in the 1960s. You did say made, not sold.
That engine was used in the ascot, the inspire and the rafaga.
+Paul Queripel …and also in the early 2000s with the RS211V.
Best Doug DeMuro video of 2019 so far.
20:03 dont forget your wallet, doug
i thought there was a fly on my phone….KEWL!!!!
1993 Acura Legend
13:48 it’s not an upside down Honda logo lol. It’s a caliper used for precision measuring. Also an A for accuracy Which is where they got the name Acura…cmon now Doug.
STFU
T AN Doug was quite close btw, saying it Ac-cu-ra….?
And I suppose Honda represents Honesty?
Lolocaust.
I saw a picture of this car but the license plate said “of Zelda” and when you looked at the back of the car it said, “Legend of Zelda”
Well that’s a good way to start your 2019
If you where a drug dealer in the 90’s you had to have one of these
Courtesy light was the preview of today’s Ambient light
The name “courtesy lights” was also used for the same thing, footwell lights, in 60s/70s American luxury cars; at least that’s what GM called them. Back then they just had an on/off switch, not a dimmer.
Doug is the kind of guy to read owners manual to his kids as a bedtime story
