1989 Honda Prelude 4 Wheel Steer review from Australia and New Zealand
"I'd buy another in a minute"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
We bought this car to go exploring NZ on holiday, and have since moved here, so we kept it.
We paid $1000 for it, and that was 2 years and 60,000kms ago.
It has had regular oil changes, and new tires - that's it (time to do the cambelt!!)
Everything works (air con, cruise, power roof/windows etc.)
Bought excellent condition matching pair of front seats for $25 from a wrecker's yard - the old ones had cigarette burns in them.
If it died tomorrow, I'd cry, but it wouldn't owe us a thing. It's been fantastic, and great fun to drive.
