1991 Honda Prelude Si review from North America
"World's most expensive turd"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
You name, it broke. I owned the car for about two weeks and the master cylinder went out.. no big deal, it happens. A month later the engine blew for no reason, plenty of oil. It completely baffled the mechanics. Thought "Might as well change the clutch while motor is out" so I do. The clutch disintegrates in my trans a week later. Now the new motor burns about two quarts of oil every 300 miles. The radio stopped working, it overheats and just sucks.
General comments?
Only buy this car if you're making a movie and are going to run it off a cliff. And if you are, call me, I have one for sale.
