My husband is a self-confessed car enthusiast, but there is one car in his own car history that he still can't forget. That is.Honda Legend Coupe (KA8)It is.
My husband would say at every turn, "I drove this road in Legend.or "I wish I could drive a Legend Coupe.Even now, I sometimes mutter to myself, "I love this Legend coupe so much. I happened to meet the owner of the Legend Coupe, whom I like so much, through Instagram, and to my surprise, he showed me the car at Ashiu and even allowed me to test drive it.
This time, I asked my husband to report on that Legend coupe (KA8).
There is one car that cannot be left out of the story of one's car history.Honda Legend Coupe (KA8)It is. But it is not my first car.My first car was a Legend 2-door hardtop (KA3) that I inherited from my father.And it is the predecessor of the KA8.
I vividly remember the first day I drove back then. I even remember the road. It was Route K724 in Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture.
My first car that I inherited from my father. Legend 2-door hardtop Exclusive（KA3)
Until then, I had only driven my mother's Honda Today, a mini-car, but when I was allowed to drive my father's Legend for the first time, I was shocked. I was impressed by the completely different sense of solidity of the car, the way it traced curves without deviation, and its high-speed stability, which was excellent for the time.
."Cars are so different from one model to another!I felt like this was the first time I had ever heard of "the
Soon after, this Legend 2-door hardtop (KA3) was overdriven and required an engine overhaul, and was unfortunately scrapped.
After that, I was so captivated by Legend that I borrowed money from my parents, and while still a student, II got its successor, the Legend Coupe (KA8) in the grade called Alpha Touring for 1,680,000 yen.The first is the "I" in "I".
Legend Coupe, my car at the time.
Ever since I was driving the KA3, I was fascinated by the design of its successor, the Legend coupe (KA8), which I saw around town. I fell in love with that rear design, which was different from the sedan, and the intrepid front design, and wanted to drive it someday.

As I recall.I think it was around 60,000 km when I bought it, but we have shared about 100,000 km since then.The first is the "I" in "I".
At the time, I was impressed by the luxury of having only two doors despite the large body, the "chic" sense of futility, the outstanding high speed stability among Japanese cars, the sportiness in a comfortable ride, and the engine that blows smoothly. I was completely hooked.

Oh, my God.I traveled all over Japan and everywhere in this Legend Coupe.On weekends, during summer and winter vacations, and whenever he had free time, he drove a car.(Well, not any different than it is now, but w/e)
I spent about 16 hours driving around Shikoku while staying overnight in the car, I drove only Route 8 for no reason, and I even drove on snow in heavy snow in Kanto, Shinshu, Kyushu, Hokuriku, and any season with chains on board!
My current driving addiction began with a trip with this Legend Coupe.I would say.
I was skiing in Legend at the time, and I dared to drive through heavy snowfall.
During the course of the trip, he continued to drive the car while fixing various problems such as broken auxiliaries and coolant in the engine, but eventually decided to give it to a friend and got out of the Legend around 2003.
