1988 Honda Prelude Si review from North America
"A four banger that will not die"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have had with this car has just happened. The electric fan is dead and the clutch is going. The valve seals in the cylinder head are going too.
General comments?
I have put an average of 30,000 kilometers a year on this car since I purchased it. I have drag raced it and red lined the gears on many numerous occasions. In other words I drive the bag of it and it still runs great. What a great car. You have to give Honda credit. They make indestructible cars.
