1989 Honda Prelude Si review from North America
"Nice, Sleek.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well when I first got this car the feller who sold it to me drove it to my house and then it didn't run again after that until I fixed it later.
The problem with that was that the rotor button on the distributor was not screwed down, and it was just slipping around in the distributor. I got a screw put it in and it started right up.
The Clutch went up in it.
The Sun roof leaked.
I had to replace the CV axles.
I had to replace the exhaust.
Odometer didn't work.
General comments?
This was a fairly decent car, it was very quick which I liked, it looked nice too. I loved the way it handled on the turns, it kinda hugged the ground because of its' wide stance, there was not much body roll at all.
All in all after I got all the initial headaches fixed it was a pretty reliable car. Great on gas!
