1999 Honda Prelude vtec review from North America
"No character, Consumer's car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems except the radio malfunctioned.
Ex-company car.
You think I would pay money for this garbage?
General comments?
Car lacks any kind of quality feel to it.
Interior looks like the same materials they make Civic interiors out of.
Styling is not classic, and will look out of date in a few years. Typical of Japanese cars.
Handles like a souped up Civic.
Sounds like a souped up Civic.
A good car for a college girl or a member of Nsync.
Engine has no power whatsoever at low and mid-ranges. Power comes in at ridiculously high revs, along with the gnashing and wailing that comes from the hood and single pipe. Sounds like its in pain. Car starts moving. No in between.
The auto-stick is a total gimmick.
