2001 Honda Prelude Base review from North America
"Best handling car under 30k"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stock ride height looks a bit high for my taste. The h22a burns oil if you engage V-TEC (5200+ rpms) all the time.
General comments?
I haven't had any problems at all. I use Castro syntec oil and change it every 5000 miles. Upgraded suspension. Handles great stock, but I just wanted to lower it 2 inches. Great car for auto-cross stock if you're interested. Overall a great car.
