1983 Honda Prelude review from North America
"The best $500 I ever spent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Currently have a CV Joint Problem.
Just put a new Clutch Cable in.
Body in Very Very bad (rusty) condition.
Smokes the spark plug in cylinder 3 every 2 months.
Also just had a new ignition coil put on.
The heater Sucks in it.
General comments?
I love the car on very curvy roads it handles like the sports car I always wanted.
Gotta love the 5-speed.
Not the best performance power wise, but it goes enough for me.
Backseat space... NONE.
I have the fold down seats in the back and with a stereo system in it with the back seat down it rocks.
Love the 6 and 1/2 feet of leg room.
What I love about the car most is that I don't have many problems with it and the problems I do have a minor, and I also love the fact that all the power motors in it work and that amazes me you since it is 20 years old.
