1988 Honda Prelude Si review from North America
"One of the best cars for the $"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I haven't really had this car any amount of time, but I have found some problems. I had the alternator go within the first 50km's Parts are not readily unavailble and it was made only for 88 & 89 Preludes, The rust is apparant and was obviously repaired before acquiring this car. Wiper motor is loud as well!
General comments?
But really, I love this car, I have never been in anything that handles near as well, the pick up is great, and it runs like a dream. Every thing works perfectly which really surprize's me considering the year of the car. I am completely convinced that I will never buy anything else other than a Honda product again!
