1988 Honda Prelude Si review from Japan
"One of the best cars I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch replaced at 249,000km.
Upper control arm bushings at 240,000 (front passenger side)
Constant Velocity joint at 277,000km.
Painted roof at 285,000km.
General comments?
The car handles beautifully (Michelin XGTH4-205 60 14)
The car's design still looks modern.
The driver's seat gets a little uncomfortable on long drives.
