1999 Honda Prelude type sh review from North America
"An excellent entry level sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Prelude is hard on tires, requiring an aggressive (soft) speed rated tire. Consequently, a new set of tires must be purchased every 30,000 miles or so.
Re-filling the gas tank is a chore, an evident characteristic of all preludes. The auto shut-off kicks in every ten seconds or so when filling up the tank and one must continuously be depressing the lever as if trying to "top off" the tank (even when the tank is empty!)
General comments?
This is a fun car to drive, inspiring confidence when trying to maneuver quickly. Although a small car, it is made safer by virtue of it's accident avoidance capabilities. In addition, the high-revving v-tech engine makes acceleration a pleasure.
