1993 Honda Prelude Si review from Australia and New Zealand
"An elegant performer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well there really isn't much to put here, apart from the contact from the ignition switch having some sort of build up on it at 110,000. The vehicles electrical system started to lose power at times. It was easily fixed. Got the grinder and cleaned up the connector plate.
General comments?
The thing goes like a trooper. Beats most Commodores, SSS pulsars and gives a 1991-1998 Cellica and the SR20 non-turbo Salvia a shameful run.
Feels better to drive than the newer 97+ model.
Drifts like a champ without using handbrake :D The car has no under steer. The rears actually let go before the front thinks about twitching. Amazing for a FWD. I was truly Amazed..
It may not be the quickest thing on the road, but hands down to Honda for the road holding ability of this car.
Finally I must comment on how good the car looks for a 1993 shape.. Simply timeless.
