1997 Honda Prelude TypeS review from UK and Ireland

Nothing at all.

For those not familiar with this model, it is a Japanese Import TypeS model, not the American Type S / Type SH model. It has a few performance improvements over the standard British VTI 183hp/200hp model. This version has 220 Hp, a stiffer suspension setup, an electronically controlled LSD, and a customised interior. In terms of performance on the road it is easily on par with the Honda / Acura Integra Type-R. The 0-60 time is in the low-sixes and it does the quarter mile in the high 14's. Performance is only half of it though because although the ride is stiff it is very comfortable to drive on the motorway. Also, the car has massive grip and very precise steering despite being FWD.

Overall, If you live in the UK / Australia where Japanese imports are fairly common this is worth seeking out in the classifieds, but it is very rare - I have never seen another one apart from mine. Highly recommended.
