First of all hello to everyone, I'm Ryan from Scotland and I've just bought my first KB1 Legend a couple of weeks ago having owned an EM2 Civic Coupe for the past 5 years.
The car has been a very long time coming as I've waited for the correct colour and the top spec with all possible options....with low enough mileage for a very long time.
When my car did eventually appear, I was shocked. Here in Scotland, there is lucky to be about 10 KB1s for sale at any one time across the whole of the UK...a nation of 70 million people. These cars are more exclusive than some Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
My Legend has the upper trim level of two offered here in Scotland. This means it gains LKAS and ACC, lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control if you're not in the know. I could not possibly have bought the car without said options as these just make the car such an amazing cruiser, literally set your speed on the motorway and you can relax without worrying about anything.

The other important things about my car is that it's got the optional 18" wheels that the US cars got as part of the ASPEC pack. Our wheels are in a black chrome colour which looks way better than the chrome the ASPEC wheels came in in my opinion.
The car also has the installed option of front and rear parking sensors which bleep appropriately for how close objects are. This is a genuine Honda option.
The car is in Lakeshore Mist, my favourite colour for these cars and a colour that has already had a couple of compliments.
The car has 41,000 miles from new and one owner from new having been serviced by Honda all its days.
Without further adieu, take a look at some photos and be sure to like my Facebook page for the car where I will be posting updates, vlogs and YouTube channel links.
My bad. Sure looks like a LKAS button found in a RLX.
It's cool. I got the dealer training book on the Scottish KB1 through the other day from eBay and it does say 'LKAS (Right-hand drive models only'
My buttons are also a little worn and I've noticed the USA button set doesn't have the LKAS button as it comes as one loom. Honda UK want about $500 equivalent!
But seriously, I often turn off the cmbs even. I don't like it when she tells me i'm too close and slams my brakes. When I about to zig zag lane hoggers, I her up.
LKAS was introduced on the Euro Accord (1st Gen TSX) and the JDM Accord in 2002. It migrated into 2nd Gen LEGEND except North American RL version. At that time it was called 'Advanced Safety Watch' which has evolved into the current AcuraWatch suite and HondaSensing suite of safety features and driver assists.
