A high point in the sedan market is the Acura Vigor. In 1994 Acura released an upgraded version of the Vigor with two versions: GS and LS. Sales for the Vigor, especially the Vigor GS, were brisk during 1994 and 1995. The improved reliability and the sporty styling were responsible for the sales boost.

Acura Vigor Engine Specs

Standard equipment in the Vigor for 1993 and 1994 includes the 2.5 liter engine by Honda, weighing in at 5 cylinders and twenty valves. A 4-speed Automatic Transaxle puts the power of the engine to the pavement. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Sedan arena.

The fuel system for the 1994 Vigor is a PGM-FI design, using gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is controlled by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The fuel capacity of the fuel tank is 17.20 gallons.

The Vigor uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

Vehicle Statistics

The dimensions of the Vigor GS are 70.10 inches wide by 190.40 inches long. It sits 52.00 inches off the ground. It seats a standard five passengers, with 4 doors. The wheelbase of 110.40 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $28,350 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Sedan.

The standard warranty period for the Vigor is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. There is also a warranty on the powertrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively. This is standard in the sedan market.

Fuel Efficiency

The Vigor GS received a miles-per-gallon rating of twenty in-city driving and twenty seven when it came to highway driving. Being a gas-powered non-hybrid car, this was exceptional.

What We Think of the Acura Vigor

There are several reasons why the Acura Vigor GS sold well in 1994. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Acura, specifically a Vigor.
