1991 Honda Prelude S review from North America
"4 years of payments, 12 years of fun!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seatbelt recall at 10,000 km.
Valve train noise when engine is cold, has done this from new, no problems from this "fault".
Both door and glove box switch's gave problems after first year.
Cooling fan timer went out at 102,000 km at a cost of $178.00.
Key and tumbler failed at 105,000 km and 5 days later and $350.00 later car was on the road again!
Rust is forming on lower rear quarter panels.
General comments?
This car has been serviced and maintained since new and is only starting to cost more to drive.
Back seat is too small, even for a child!
Sits so low you can't see traffic lights when driving behind a Mini!
Fun to drive in all weather!
