1998 Honda Prelude Type S review from North America
"One of the best in the business"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well basically I've really had no problem with it at all. Except that the engine check light came on at about 35000 miles, but I was told it do to a bad oxygen sensor which I had replaced. Other than that there were no real problems.
General comments?
This car is tight. It looks great stock and it can perform with the best with a few parts added under the hood. The car needs more torque, top end speed is not a problem. The stock rims look great with the car. Believe me, this car turns heads driven down the road.
When the V-tec hits at 5000rpm's you really feel it, I mean you really feel it. The car being so heavy, slows it down a bit.
The interior is very nice, but the car is pretty compact. Hey, that's what you get with a sports car.
With a turbo and some nitrous, this car has the potential to race with fastest of them all. Oh yeah don't forget the ground effects and them 18's.
