1994 Honda Prelude VTEC review from North America

"A pocket rocket that's well worth it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

At 145,000 miles there was a problem with the fuel lines overheating in the summer.

General comments?

This car is for people who like to drive fast. Although just a four-banger, this car has some serious speed. In the lower rpm range, the speed is moderately quick. As you approach red line, the VTEC kicks in and you feel pushed back into the seat.

While domestic cars may have more horsepower for the money, they can't match the Prelude's handling and reliability. The extra cash up front is definitely worth it in the long run.

My car is 9 years old and still gets comments wherever I go. Most people think it is a '99 or '00. The body style is aggressive, but not over-done. The interior is amazing. The black leather seats, although a little worn by now, look and feel awesome. In my '96 Accord, by back would start to hurt after longer drives. In the Prelude, I feel I could drive all day. The dashboard is very unique. The digital displays are extremely bright and go across the whole dash. When I first bought it, I would always forget to turn on my lights at night because they are always lit up very well.
