1982 Honda Prelude review from North America
"Best car ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the starter.
It was not good in the snow, but you can't really blame the car, the sucker only weighed 2000 lbs with me in it.
General comments?
I feel very privileged all of a sudden because the '82 Prelude was my very first car. My dad gave it to me when I was 15 in 1992, before I could even drive it. I was sort of disappointed when I first saw it because to me at least at that age it looked old... jump 17 years later and I hate all new cars. God I want another 82 so bad, the thing would fill up for 12 bucks and run for 300 miles. So cute and sporty, I was famous for that car. I had an '86 and a '90 too. Best car ever.
