1998 Honda Prelude Type SH H22A4

Summary:

One fast car

General Comments:

Damn, the 98 Prelude Type SH is a great car. 195 hp, 156 lbs of torque; the SH comes with ATTS, which helps it handle better. I love my 98 Honda Prelude Type SH.

The only bad thing about it, is it's a little heavy (about 3045 lbs), but it's still a great car. It does the 1/4 mile in 15.4 at 93.2 mph, and it pulls a 0.89 G's at the skid pad. Great car.

1998 Honda Prelude SH

Summary:

A great mix of sports and luxury, and a good value!

Faults:

The only thing that ever went wrong with this car while I owned it was the battery failing, merely a result of the batteries age.

General Comments:

I can't say enough great things about this car. It's quite fast (a little above average as far as mid range sports cars go), handles incredibly, and very stylish too. It had a perfect record as far as reliability went (although I only put 25000km on it, and it's still in it's youth), and was pretty decent as far as fuel economy too. The factory stereo system is pretty nice (though I replaced the deck).

If I have to pick some weak points on this car, the obvious one is that it is expensive to maintain (even just regular maintenance), and when it does start to have issues as it gets older, I'm sure things will get worse. Next, I found this car to be a 2 seater, since I have no midgets for friends or children, I could not get anyone into the back seat. They're basically just decoration.

This is a great car, if a car is what you're after. A nice hybrid of sports and luxury, with the Honda reliability and performance. I would highly recommend it. I ended up selling because I found I needed an SUV with more passenger and cargo space. It really held it's value well from purchase to resale (2 years)!

1998 Honda Prelude Type S 4 Cylinder DOHC Vtec

Summary:

One of the best in the business

Faults:

Well basically I've really had no problem with it at all. Except that the engine check light came on at about 35000 miles, but I was told it do to a bad oxygen sensor which I had replaced. Other than that there were no real problems.

General Comments:

This car is tight. It looks great stock and it can perform with the best with a few parts added under the hood. The car needs more torque, top end speed is not a problem. The stock rims look great with the car. Believe me, this car turns heads driven down the road.

When the V-tec hits at 5000rpm's you really feel it, I mean you really feel it. The car being so heavy, slows it down a bit.

The interior is very nice, but the car is pretty compact. Hey, that's what you get with a sports car.

With a turbo and some nitrous, this car has the potential to race with fastest of them all. Oh yeah don't forget the ground effects and them 18's.
