"A true luxury sports classic"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rust around the sunroof, front windshield, rear window, fuel filler and boot gutter.

Small oil leak from rear main seal.

Noisy air conditioner compressor.

General comments?

This is one amazing vehicle. It may not be the quickest, it may not be the most luxurious, it may not be the nimblest, but it gives an extremely good balance of all of them.

The 4 wheel steering makes the Prelude the easiest car for parking and negotiating tight spots.

The Prelude's styling allows it to age very well. It still looks like a modern sports car.

My only concern is with the amount of rust in my vehicle, but it appears this is a very rare occurrence in Preludes.

The 2.0L engine just keeps going. At 271,000kms it has no sign of slowing down. It actually feels better than when I bought it almost 70,000kms ago.
