1998 Honda Prelude vtir-atts review from Australia and New Zealand
"Awesome"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CD stacker not working.
General comments?
This is the third Prelude I've owned, previously had a '89si & then a '91si.
Foolishly sold the '91 car & bought a 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer VRX, nice car, but the seats were horrid.
Have just traded the lancer in on a 1998 VTI-R with ATTS so I've come home to the Honda fold never to leave it again.
This is a most awesome car and I can only echo what all the other reviews state, it gos, it stops, it handles it's comfortable, it's stylish, it's a HONDA.
Of course only just getting this car I've not had any problems (except for the CD stacker, which appears to be a common problem) but then I never did have any major trouble with the other two, so long as you service & replace things when they are due (timing belt etc etc).
As with all Honda's they like to be driven hard (not thrashed).
Sure you American Muscle guys have more HP, but we do it in STYLE.
