1985 Honda Prelude review from North America
"I love the car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far there has been absolutely no problems with the car what so ever.
I am hoping that it will remain that way for a long time with the preventative maintence.
When I bought the car, the drivers seat was already badly worn, and the exhaust had a leak.
My biggest complaint is the brake parking brake light will not go off.
General comments?
I love this car.
This car corners like it is on rails.
Acceleration is decent for a 1.8L engine with twin carbs.
I am researching putting a 2.0L Fuel Injected engine into the car and replacing the carburated engine.
I finaly found a car with plenty of leg room. I am 6'3" tall and the seats will go far enough for me to not even be able push the pedals to the floor.
