Acura Vigor was Acura’s mid-size sedan. Acura Vigor early reviews were not favorable. Comparisons to the Lexus ES 300, which was roomier and softer in ride, generally favored the Lexus as the more appealing buy for the average luxury car buyer, whereas the Acura Vigor was stiff and small. Despite this, Acura Vigor did receive points for its handling prowess, which was very good for a front-wheel-drive sedan and akin to the 4-door version of the Integra. In response to the reviews, Acura made several changes to the Vigor for the 1994 model year, increasing rear seat room, softening the suspension and re-engineering the steering rack to help isolate the driver from road imperfections in an attempt to make the model more like the ES. The tactics were unsuccessful; buyers favored the more powerful Legend as a sports sedan and still seemed to prefer the ES as an entry-level luxury model.
