Arschsprung durch Technik and all that... 

We really need a "Like" button on this forum

I've just been considering the question of what to replace an Omega with, and stumbled on the Honda Legend.  Due to seemingly massive depreciation later ones are within budget, they share big saloon creature comforts, V6 petrol running costs which I am slowly becoming accustomed to (probably even worse than Omega give the extra weight of modern toys and safety) and add 4 wheel drive, and Jap built reliability (assuming they have been maintained properly, and not Gumtreed).  What does the audience think?

Hondas don't go wrong much, but when they do the parts prices are horrific.


The biggest problem with a Legend is how are you going to find one?


Four wheel drive?

[Doctor Gollum]

Research the V6 carefully, reasonably good seller in the US son information should be easy enough to find.

A friend in Texas has the 2 door version with the same engine, currently on 300,000miles and still going strong...

You learn something everyday


That would be very tempting.

As with all Jap cars of age, its rust that kills them, so check very carefully, particularly the likes of cross members, sub frames and the bolt on bits

Just like an Omega then But with much more expensive replacement panels.

To be honest, I find they fair far worse, and show the issues earlier, and sadly in areas less obvious

Corrected, they have nothing positive in the looks department (the very latest Hondas are even worse!)

I quite like the understated (bland) exterior, the interior looks comfy.  If it's looks you're after there's always another 3.2V6 to consider

They're much better looking than their German equivalents with all the added 'design' which just looks hideous.
