1989 Honda Prelude Si, 4WS review from North America
"Fast, fun and legendary performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this vehicle. I need to rebuild the clutch shortly. Other than that, the suspension is in excellent shape as is the engine compression and cylinder readings.
General comments?
The handling of this car is incredible even after its fourteen years of life it is as quick or quicker than most new cars in its class. The 4WS makes cornering seem to defy gravity and this is by far the most fun I've ever had driving a vehicle. The engine is showing its legendary Honda quality and my mechanic says it's in great shape. The classic third generation Prelude shape is still a head turner and much desired after all these years.
