1994 Honda Prelude Si review from North America
"A serious performer for a small fraction of the cost"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Honda radio in my prelude was not working when I bought it. It was being replaced with a CD/mp3 player anyway.
General comments?
The car is great! It runs very strong and will upset many new model's. A 2003 Cellica gt, 03 dodge stratus rt, and ford probe have all fallen victims already. I put a cold air intake, racing muffler, and coil-over springs on it. The springs give it a lower ride hight and it has made a night to day difference in the already impressive handling.
The fact that it is at the age of death for most cars is amazing. It still rode more smooth than my 2002 explorer sport before I put on the stiffer springs. When you hear people talk about the legend of Honda's believe it. I never did until I owned one.
