Honda Legend (2006-) Review

Category: Executive 3 out of 5

Summary of the Honda Legend (2006-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Remarkable road-holding and handling from Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system, clever safety technology, well finished and equipped, pleasingly compact for an executive car

Drawbacks

Ride is too firm, auto transmission could be smoother, engine lacks the expected pulling power

Verdict

An interesting and welcome alternative to the default-choice German offerings but spoilt by the drawbacks above. If you're going to be an individualist you'd make more of a statement with a Citroen C6.

Price range £36,250-£39,000. On sale in UK September 2006

Honda Legend Review

Used Value3 out of 5

With just 400 sales planned a year, there's hardly going to be an oversupply problem to depress residual values. Equally, though, demand for pre-owned Legends may not be huge. Expect it to lose value more quickly than those safe-bet German rivals.

Come resale time, residual experts forecast retained values between 38-41%, with a 3.5 V6 EX returning up to 41% of its original worth three years or 60,000 miles down the line, compared with 51% for an Audi A6 3.2 FSI Quattro SE.
