1991 Honda Prelude 4ws review from North America
"The best sports car for under $10,000!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, except the "check engine" light comes on every 3000 miles regardless if the oil needs changing or not. When the oil is changed, the light goes off. Interesting that it is the engine light rather than the "oil" light.
Piping on the driver's seat has unravelled slightly.
General comments?
I love this car. It is 10 years old, but whoever had it before me must have never driven it, since it only has 55,000 miles on it. It's practically brand new!
It handles like a dream, is very quick off the line, and can weave in and out of traffic like a motorcycle.
The back seat is a little small for adults.
It has developed some rattles in the interior that only come out when driving on a bumpy or poorly maintained road.
It's very low to the ground so one must be careful when driving in neighbourhoods that have speed bumps.
