1993 Honda Prelude SR review from North America

"Time consuming and expensive"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My car leaks oil from the gasket.

Distributor cap and rotor was replaced 3 weeks ago.

Electrical problems all the time with brake light indicator.

There might be a possible transmission problem (let's hope it's not!!)

(I love my car and it looks really good.. but is it really worth all the money I've put into it?)

General comments?

When I purchased the car, I knew that there were a few minor things wrong with it. I later found out that it was leaking oil from the gasket.

Because it is a nice looking sports car it has been broken into more than 3 times even with the compustar alarm.

While driving one day my car stopped and I later found out that I had to get the distributor cap and rotor replaced which cost me about $2000 to fix.

Yesterday while my boyfriend was driving my car the transmission light was blinking and when he pressed on the gas there was no power although it was revving.

I really love my car, but there has been way too many problems with it. I paid $9500 for it and I've put thousands of dollars for repairs. No one else I know ever has this many problems with their car.
