it's time for show-off Sunday, where everyone has a chance to show off their
own car, and here's this week's winner, thanks for the introduction Scotty
Kilmer, these are my 1990 Acura Legends, developed in 1985, they were the first
Japanese luxury car sold in America with the help from the Austin Rover Group
featuring the first v6 engine ever sold by Honda, and actually prompted both
Nissan and Toyota to form infinity and Lexus, so let's start at the doors, a
silly feature and I really like it, is a little motorized arm that pulls the seat
belt back to allow people to get both from the front and back, when you open the
door, tucks the seat belt back, when you close
the door, it introduces you to the seat belt again, on the driver side of the
door here, we have memorized seats featuring fully powered electric seats
both on the driver and the passenger, also featuring powered mirrors with
heated mirrors as well, a feature I didn't know I had for a while, moving to the
center console, we have a little storage compartment on top, and below is probably
one of the most incredible things I've seen in a pre 2000s car, fuel economy
readout, flipping through the options we have distance to empty, trip, current fuel
economy, and average fuel economy, which I was shocked to see, I know it's a 1990
the system check button lets you verify your engine oil level, coolant level,
washer fluid, next service and when to change your oil filter, my 2012 WRX
doesn't have this setup, below that is the automatic climate control, I know
it's a 1990, there's this little window that pops up and shows you the controls
the a/c works great too, the Bose radio was completely shot when I received the
car, so I pulled the speakers and had the amplifiers on each restored, I also
tracked down a head unit from a junk legend to maintain the original stereo
from factory, now on the topic of the radio, that of course comes with a power
antenna, now Acura develop this beautiful foam spoiler that hangs off
the back, now because it bleeds too far off the edge here, when you pop the trunk
they make it so the antenna goes down, so you don't hit the antenna, upon closing
the trunk, comes right back up, let's not also forget how beautiful it
look on the car
another rare feature is the roll down rear windows, now granted there's not a
lot of space back here, especially if this guy's relaxing, but at least I have
control over my own wind, being the LS model I thought I had every single
feature they offered, then I still see these two blank spots, according to the
manual, the Canadian model actually had heated seats, now we have to buy a
Canadian model, underneath the dash here is a switch, flicking this switch
activates the winter wiper setting, normally are recessed into the hood, so
you lift up just a little bit and now check this out
once that switch is flicked, on the windshield wipers are these little tabs
as you pull them up, you pull the tab out and they'll hold the windshield wiper
just above the windshield, isn't that clever, now let's take it out for a spin
now the first thing I noticed every single time I drive this car, is the
steering, it is butter smooth, you can steer the steering wheel with one finger
no prom at all, you may think that this would affect handling, but it really
doesn't, it's actually very tight now, as far as power, this comes back with 160
horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, now while it might not be a fast car, it
certainly is no slouch either, it makes overtaking and merging into
traffic a breeze, if I just put my foot down
cars a steady power, that just takes right off nice and easy
which I don't normally do that, the transmission, the shifter is smooth a
real luxury feel to it, it actually makes my WRX feel like a stage 3 clutch, so I'm
a really big fan of the exterior styling as well, obviously as you would guess
since I've owned two, it's boxy but it catches your eye, I'm astonished by the
impeccable condition that this one is in since the last two that I had rusted out
so badly, I used to joke and I would slap the corner panel and as rust would rain
down I would yell out weight reduction, but a lot of people don't appreciate
cars from the 90s I noticed, one woman actually left a note on my car that said
donate me, put me out of my misery, which was a bit hurtful, I think the ls
actually completes to look a little bit more, with that rear spoiler and the
styling is actually very functional, it has a drag coefficient of 0.3 zero, which
is the same as a Koenigsegg CCX, just saying, the build quality is very solid
it's leather wrapped front to back, no rickety sounds, no creaks for a 28-year
old car I find that to be very impressive, right next to your hand if
you extend out your finger on your right hand side here, I have my radial volume, I
have my preset, and I have my tape direction, just in case you're still
listening to tapes, this car actually came with a nice fine set of tapes, my
Frank Sinatra collection is nearly complete, the sunroof controls on the
left hand side again the same thing, extend your finger out, you can just open
that sunroof right up, now on the steering wheel there are four horn
buttons, which I don't really see the need for that, but you can tell somebody
to get out of your way no matter where your car is, the one thing this car does not have
though oddly enough, are cupholders, this cars everything else but cupholders it
does have an ashtray, so Acuras you're going to want to smoke but you're
not going to want to have a drink in this car
lastly out of the three Acura legends I've owned so far, they've all had
similar parts breakdown at similar times, with this one being the exception from
my red one ten years ago, to my five year ago purchase of the gold one, to this
gold one, it really does speak to the build
quality and the consistency of what they were putting out at the time, Acura had a
lot to prove when they brought this car to the states, and proved something they
did in my opinion, I do think it's a phenomenal car, and I hope you do too
Scotty I think you'll agree with me, I'd like to thank Scotty Kilmer for
featuring me on his channel, I'd like to thank Acura for making dependable cars
