I LOVE this Acura Legend L Coupe, which is why I've decided to let it try to find a better home.  I've had it exactly two months (two weeks of which I was out of the country), but after driving very nervously and parking very carefully, I've realized that this RARE GEM needs to belong to someone who can treat it as a "special" car, not their "only" car (like me).   This may be the next best thing to buying from the original owner -- here's the history as I understand it:  the first couple bought the Legend new in Sunnyvale, CA, and took delivery with seat covers installed.  They then moved to one of the Hawaiian Islands and lived there for nearly 20 years.  They didn't drive much (obviously -- 33K miles in 22 years!), always used the sunshield, and always kept it garaged.  I'd be surprised if anyone has even been in the back seat!  They then moved and had it shipped back to California, decided they needed a larger car, and sold to a young man who treated it like an investment and kept it warehoused except for a couple short road trips.  He then (reluctantly) put it on Craigslist and -- as the former owner of a 1990 red Acura Legend coupe -- I was delighted to find it!  However, I've since realized this lovely Legend SHOULD'NT be someone's only car, it's too-nearly perfect.  After picking it up, I immediately took it in to Marin Acura for 30,000-mile service.  The only problem they diagnosed was the windshield washer motor and tank needed to be replaced.  I then discovered that it was a little hard to start when the engine was hot, and Marin Acura diagnosed a fuel injector relay problem which they also replaced.  It's now in excellent mechanical condition and EVERYTHING works -- all the switches, seat levers, power locks and windows, trunk button, sunroof, antenna, etc.  The second owner installed new tires and replaced the (buzzing, paper) rear speakers -- everything is clean & original, right down to the leather key cases!  I'm keeping it garaged during this auction so the mileage and condition remain unchanged.  May this beautiful Legend find its way to the right home … and if it doesn't meet the reserve price, then I'll assume I'm the right home and I will do my best to relax and enjoy my beautiful ride.  Available to be seen / test-driven with appointment.

Honda recalling 405K vehicles over airbag issue

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

Honda is in hot water due to an airbag glitch that is causing it to recall 405,400 vehicles. According to the campaign, the supplemental restraints might fire for no apparent reason. 342,000 of the affected vehicles are 2003 and 2004 Odyssey minivans, which gels with a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation we reported on in June.
Joining the Odyssey in the recall is the Acura MDX, with 63,400 units covered from the 2003 model year. Unlike the van, though, the MDX's recall covers Japan and Australia, in addition to the US and Canada. Both vehicles are suffering from an airbag control unit that is prone to malfunction when exposed to electrical noise, a condition that can cause the airbags to deploy without warning. Although no crashes have been reported in such scenarios, there have been some injuries typical of airbag deployment - abrasions and such.
Honda will be mailing recall notices to owners near the end of October, asking them to bring their vehicles into the dealership for installation of an electrical noise filter. The repair will take about an hour and be free of charge. Scroll down for the official announcement from Honda.

NSX Concept-GT is the world's hottest way to boil water

Sat, 05 Oct 2013

The Honda NSX Concept-GT is one sexy machine, and it looks to be a very effective tool on a race circuit. But Honda's latest web spot leads us to believe that it also can be used to make tea.
In the video, the racecar is hooked up to an apparatus that uses tubing to harness the energy from the car's 500-horsepower hybrid drive system, using it to boil water. The novel tea-making technique reminds us a bit of a couple other inventive Honda commercials, namely Hands and Cog.
Watch the NSX ad below, and be sure to turn the sound up to hear that glorious engine note.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
