The Acura Vigor is a rare premium sedan made in Japan for three years and was sold around the world. It’s higher level of luxury and equipment helped set the stage for the first luxury car from Honda.The Vigor was a sportier, faster, “vigorous” Accord - and the name stuck. This midsize sedan slotted between the small Integra and larger Legend.
An innovative and unique longitudinally mounted inline 5-cylinder was the only engine available, which carried on into the first generation TL. The transmission is attached behind the engine, with a driveshaft that sends power to the front of the car to an asymmetrically installed limited-slip differential which then supplies power to the front wheels using half shafts. This allowed the powertrain to remain slightly behind the front wheels, which helped with performance and gave the car good front to rear weight distribution.
Information stated in the sales brochure (included with the car):
- The panels gaps are held to exacting tolerances and every sculpted steel panel is formed of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel. The outer surface is a painstaking 3-coat, 3-bake process.
- The aluminum 5-cylinder engine is lighter and more efficient than a V-6 of comparable displacement. It was designed by some of the same engineers who worked on the NSX and Honda Formula One racing engines. Features a two-stage intake manifold for better torque output at low speeds. A tubular, stainless steel exhaust header, similar to race engines, takes advantage of the unique 5-cylinder power pulses. All this sits on advanced hydraulic front engine mounts for smoothness.
- The front shock absorbers feature HPV (Honda Progressive Valve) damper technology, originally developed for the NSX.
- Quite a few parts are interchangeable with those on the Accord, Prelude, and first generation TL.
- The Vigor came in two trim levels in the United States. A standard LS and a higher content level GS. This car is the GS model.

In conclusion, this model is becoming a rare, one of kind car that turns heads when cleaned-up nicely. Often times mistaken for a Legend. My Acura Service Adviseronce said. The 5 Cylinder engine is Bullet Proof and keeps going and going. There are chips, dents, and scratches here and there. The interior is in good condition but needs a little work. Some minor and major maintenance is needed but is either a good project car or an excellent car for parts. The wife says it's time for me to part with my favorite all time best car ever made or I'd work on her myself. I just don't have the extra garage space.
