1987 Honda Prelude Si review from North America
"Great first car, it handles very well and it's easy to fix any problems so far"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
General comments?
The car is great, it has been to hell and back, especially the way that I drive it.
