1987 Honda Prelude Si review from North America
"The best car I have ever owned (I'm shooting for 350,000 miles)."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Emergency brake has never worked consistently.
Speedometer konks out from time-to-time, but then spontaneously recovers. I had the speedometer cable replaced once.
General comments?
I have put 291,000 miles on my prelude si since I purchased it December 14, 1988. I have driven it from coast-to coast, and as far south as Florida, and as far north as upstate Michigan. I rather drive than fly. It has given me no engine or other mechanical problems (I have consistently changed the oil every 2500-3000 miles from day one).
I have not had to change out the clutch since 1997.
