    They are great cars, especially for winter cars. About the only issues that I have with them is the lifters making a phuckin racket. Its the way the head was designed that they wear out the lifters and they are very noisy. Its no big deal but the sound can get annoying. Clutches are a big pricy too if its a 5spd. I say buy it. I've had 2 legends and both were great cars. I'll buy another coupe when I find a nice one!

    nope, some people think that the engine is the same but the legend is sohc and the nsx is vtec dohc. totally different becides the fact that there both the same displacement. the G2 type II legend does have variable intake runners simmilar to what a gsr has.

    They have good engines, not to bad of a car..and all Honda lifter's
    make a racket...Just ad 300ml of transmission fluid to your engine oil, it stops it right away, cleans and lubricates the lifters...
