1993 Honda Prelude VTEC review from North America
"It is the best car for its class and price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the same problem as many other people with the starting of the car. Sometimes it just wouldn't start. the main problem was the fuel pump relay. I got a new one and it started like a charm. don't get fooled if you have that problem, get a new relay and nothing else. and another problem I had was with the under-drive. all I did was buy a lightweight one from eBay for 40 dollars and it runs great and it added a lot of power to the car.
General comments?
This car is fast. I've gotten to 138 and the speed governor kicked in. the only problem is that the fuel pump relay gone bad and that's a common thing on preludes.
