1993 Honda Prelude Si review from North America

"Classic in its own way"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Minor repairs have been done to the car. Basically just the upkeep and maintenance. Some speakers have shorted out, my AC needs to be recharged, my front left and right axle books have minor cracks, my coolant tube is a little brittle and my oil pan has a minor crack. For the most part, the car has been a trooper for the short time I've had it. Aside from the fact that there is an annoying and concerning low level knocking noise coming from within the engine that can't be pinpointed so far, and a squeaking/rattling noise from the back that occurs over speed bumps or driving on uneven roads with dips and pot holes. But the car is awesome over all.

General comments?

If you stay with the upkeep, the car will give you all the benefits of a sleek sports car. Even though this car is 11 years old, it still looks good and performs very nicely. It's had its fair share of wear and tear from the previous owner, but with a few parts replaced this car will drive perfect. I've already have a difference in my acceleration with just having my valves adjusted. Upkeep is definitely key with this car and so many people love it, I feel better knowing I'm not the only person in love with my Prelude.

Only thing that I have problems with is I'm a short girl, so I have to put my seat up all the way to touch my clutch pedal and then I squeeze out of my car. But I love it still! This car seems like it can go on for a long time.
