After a week the brake master cylinder failed and almost killed me. Repairs were at a cost of $400AUD.
Full of oil leaks.
Clutch was slippery from the start.
Cruise control switch starting to fail.
This car was horrible; it drove and handled like a go-cart and had absolutely no torque. It was like driving an expensive and over-tuned Civic. I sold it and bought an '84 BMW 323i after two months- it is much more fun to drive and a real car.
Although fairly quick, the lack of substance was devastating, and the front wheel drive just spoiled the whole experience. The four wheel steering is also an unnecessary, glaring gimmick.
I also resented the looks I got from undesirable car hoons.
Dude how can you complain when about repairs on a car that had almost 200,000 miles on it?
Perhaps that's almost 200,000km...which is very low for a car of this age!
I whole heartedly agree with this reviewer. I owned an 89 Prelude for just 6 months and it was the worst car I had ever owned. Please see review for details.
I have seen some Preludes with over 500,000 miles on them. Either you guys got a bad one or did not take care of yours. 200,000 KM not a lot of miles? Well for one thing, once a car ages it loses a lot of luster sometimes and it can have a hard time putting on miles than a newer car. Try buying a 20 year old car with 70,000 miles and driving it to 140,000 miles without trouble. I bet you no matter what you drive will give you problems. Even a 25 year old car with 20,000 miles... I inherited one of them and I can say it was just as reliable as a car with 7 times the miles.
