1990 Honda Prelude Si review from North America
"Not a racer, but it looks fast and is fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust leak, timing belt broke, replaced bent valves. Replaced and engine runs like new again.
Change belt and tensioner pulley every 60000 miles or pay the price.
Change oil every 4000 or it will start burning oil.
General comments?
A reliable fun car as long as you keep up on routine maintenance.
High revving car - could use taller gears for 5th gear.
Around 30 mpg.
I'm tall and there's plenty of room. No back seat room unless for little children.
The car holds up well for a import as far as rust goes.
