1993 Honda Prelude review from North America
"The Honda Prelude is the best!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My tires wear out quickly due to all the scratching my car can do. The back seats have no space. My hood was backed into by a 2000 Dodge Ram. My master cylinder got a leak around 180,000 miles.
General comments?
Even though this Prelude is an S which is a 2.2 liter SOHC non VTEC F22a1 with a power base of 140 horsepower and 142 torque it has incredible acceleration. What is better then the power and speed of the Prelude is the amazing handling that doesn't screech your tires when you break hard or turn hard and still have perfect control.
