Fun car!!
The headlights go out when driving down the road. Eventually they will come back on, but it is a big hassle.

A dream car in disguise
A month after purchasing the car I had to replace the clutch. Other than that nothing at all has gone wrong.
This car has a lot of torque and lighter than Vtec. The 4ws adds a nice touch and really helps with cornering. Honda has really outdone themselves with this car. The only downside is no freaking cup holder, that back seat is literally for insurance services no grown adult can sit back there. Other than that it's a dream car.

I have a 93' 2.3 SI prelude (non vtec) and I have a loan on it and full coverage and its $150 a month and I'm only 17.
I am 18 with a 93 prelude SI 4WS and has a JDM H22, and I took out a loan to do the swap and the insurance is so much it isn't funny, but it's fast and was worth my time!!!
If you still have issues with insuring, try getting it insured under your dads name or something (then you as the second driver). Works in Australia.
Yeah get it under a parent's name.
Here in Australia, if you are on your L's, insurance is up in the $2000 mark.
Under a parent, and you as a second driver, it's around $1000.
...don't get one
My Eclipse, the battery died on me at 80,000. Then my gas tank had a leak, the air bag light went on then it needed a tune up at 85,000 really bad after 20,000 miles.
The car is very slow, it gave me a lot of trouble and everyone has one. why?

Very Nice Buy
The muffler had been deteriorated and there was a leak in the mid-pipe. They had to both be replaced. Also, there is a bad squeak in the brakes. I'm going to replace both the rotors and pads.
This is a great car for the money. I bought it for $5,000 and it has been worth the money I paid for it. Pretty fast car. I'm looking to throw a H22A4 in it though. Overall this car is a good buy.

I own a '93 prelude si too. Moderate mods, I love the car! My only complaint is the top-end pick-up, there pretty much is none. But the car is great in first and second gear, I can deep up with the best of um, up to about fifty miles!
I love the car, it's the fastest one I've had so far. As for acceleration , well let's just say it's really good for a import if it's stock. If it is like mine the top end won't disappoint you at all...
I had a SI(1993). It was fast, but the one that I have now (1993 vtec) is much faster. It is incredible the speed you get in third gear and when you get 4th nobody can stop it.
When it gets to fourth nobody can stop it... We are talking about a Honda prelude, right? Or any Honda for that matter. The ignorance of people is astounding these days. the lug nuts on my GTP require more torque to tighten then your engine produces.
I Had my lude in 5th and nobody could stop it... that was until a deer ran out in front of me. Trust me, we came to an abtupt stop and it wasn't pretty... they are still trying to remove the advanced VTEC cams from the poor deer's rear.

The insurance on a 1993 prelude 4WS 2.3SI is cheap.. I'm 16 and it was my first car.. and it is cheaper than a 2000+ civic.. so don't worry about the insurance.
