Honda Legend Saloon (06-07) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 10 July 2006 Last Updated: 15 January 2009 Honda is not a name that's usually associated with executive cars, the big German three of Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz dominate this market. All three also have a suitably premium image - something which Honda can't quite match. The Legend is its attempt to muscle in on the established makes and it has plenty going for it. It's loaded with innovative technology, comes generously equipped and is good to drive too. But it falls down in key areas - rear legroom is cramped but most importantly, there's no diesel engine available and the 3.5-litre petrol engine is very thirsty. However it is one of the most advanced cars in its class while limited numbers mean it will remain a rare sight on the road. 3.5 out of 5 Other Honda reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £35,725 - £39,700 Used price range: £8,498 - £15,699 View all used prices Get a Honda Legend Saloon (06-07) information pack Next steps Honda Legend Saloon cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
