1993 Honda Prelude VTEC review from UK and Ireland
"Everyone should drive one at least once in their lives"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear O/S brake caliper from 55000 miles onward always needed cleaning and freeing off at every service.
Apart from this, no other problems at all.
General comments?
Quick... damn quick!
Cornered like it was on rails.
Very reliable (if serviced when it should be).
Exhaust rear box cost £270 + VAT + fitting from the dealers (only a dealer part then) when it blew in 1999.
Always use decent tyre brands and change them before they get to 2mm. Change ALL 4 at the same time and don't be tempted to skimp by using cheap budget tyres.
