1987 Honda Prelude Reviews

Little has gone wrong.

Maybe wheel bearing is worn now on one side.

Wear on driver's seat - not surprising though.

Some rust by the sunroof.

Superlative car.. the best I have ever owned or driven, and I have owned many.

I have even bought another, which I garage, and am also looking at another in France next week.

They drive superbly - like a real sports saloon - low on the ground - fast - unbeatable handling and steering.

I drive my wife, son and friend crazy, extolling the virtues of this MK 2 Prelude, from its looks to its performance.

I pay about £350 for each one... would I trade it for a £15,000 new car... no. Really, no!

Bought this car without roadworthy because it seemed to be in mint condition.

After taking to my mechanic, he found that the air con no longer worked, needs full replacement.

It's leaking power steering oil; another full replacement needed.

The muffler had a hole rusted through it, and the previous owner had cut through the metal framework of the car to install the rear speakers, which required patching up work.

Boot latch does not work either.

Handles superbly, better than any late model Toyota or Ford, despite being 22 years old.

The 4WS makes parking so easy, and it's a great feature to show off to friends; they were amazed when I first showed them how the back wheels also turn.

Inside is quite small, and I feel very sorry for people that sit in the back seat.

The actual hand brake lever is quite large, which means that there is no centre glove compartment.

Leaks oil.

Muffler.

It's an old car, and has had its share of repairs.

RUST.

This is the best first car if you are on a tight budget.

I have been running mine for 3 years, and it runs exactly the same as when I got it.

I get regular oil changes every 3 months, it goes through gas quick.

I get the best gas mileage, at least 500kms a tank!!

Great seats. I drive 2 hours a day and never get uncomfortable... and I am on the taller side.

Enough trunk space for day to day activities.

Sleek.

Nothing I drive after this will be as good all around.

The car had sat for 3 years when I bought it for $300; all I had to do was put a new battery in it and used some starting fluid, and it took about 4 or 5 tries, but the engine finally turned over and started.

The fuel pump relay went out about 3 months after I got it, and then I had a distributor belt break.

When I first got it, the speedometer was off by about 11mph.

At about 183000 miles the transmission started to shift high from first to second. I had it the transmission fluid checked and it was full, and the transmission has always jumped whenever you shift from reverse to drive, or from park to reverse or drive.

The car is great, it has been to hell and back, especially the way that I drive it.
