1993 Honda Prelude SR review from North America
"Retails for way too much and had to do lots of repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear Bearings
CV Boots
Electrical Problems
Warped Brakes
Ball Joints
Gear Shift Lever extremely hard to move
Alignment
Body Rust (on a 93)
squeeks and rattles from rear.
General comments?
The Toyota Celica I had before was of, by far, better build quality than the Prelude. The Prelude has better acceleration than the Celica, but that's really it. Noisy valvtrain and harsh shifting transmission is where this car really lacks refinement.
