1990 Honda Prelude Reviews - Page 3 of 4

Fluctuations with the oil level have left me confused. It Doesn't seem to burn oil, but at times the level is lower than others. Nothing else to report.

These cars are very rare and I was blessed to find one in Perfect condition with such low mileage. Surely it will be a collectors item. The 4 Wheel Steering genuinely works. Major differences can be felt at highway speeds as well as when cruising around town. It's a sensation I wish you all could enjoy. I hope to own this car for another 20 years. Honda was ahead of their time with the Prelude Si 4WS!

Nothing has really gone wrong.

For the last 2 years MOT only one tyre and a wiper blade, so I cannot complain!

Although if something were to go wrong it would cost a fair bit, but luckily its built to last.

The car is quite quick and handles extremely well. It is so easy and comfortable to drive, with a smooth manual gear box and excellent self adjusting power steering.

The interior looks very sporty and even the sport seat look like new. There are no marks whatsoever on the dash, total quality. No signs of wear at all!! The rear is a bit cramped, but that's to be expected, for that the front seats are excellent.

The car is made for country roads, but is also comfortable on the motorway and easy in town traffic.

Apart from general service items and consumables (rear brake pads, battery, exhaust section) the only problem I ever had with this car was over-choking on cold - the wax stat in the carburettor was worn. Unfortunately it's a part that's difficult to get without buying a whole new twin carburettor set, so I just "drove through" the problem.

An extremely well-built car.

Very smooth, comfortable ride.

Easy to drive, handles really well.

The automatic gearbox is about the best I've driven - a fantastic piece of engineering.

I recently have had to put some real money into my Prelude. My exhaust rotted out after 175000 miles, and the rear braking system seized shortly after.

These two repairs were relatively costly. Honda parts aren't cheap. Prelude parts are the most expensive of all the Honda parts.

Other than those repairs: new distributer cap, 4 new tires, changed oil, brake pads all around once. Easy stuff.

This car is really quick. Going from my Neon, I was amazed. The first time driving my Prelude, I couldn't get used to how much gas you have to give it to make smooth starts and shifts. This car wants to scream.

It red lines very high, and I keep it high. The majority of power comes in at 3500, and goes all the way to 6000.

The handling is good, but the 13" wheels and tires are way to small.

Great gas mileage, engine will run forever, great car!!!
