1988 Honda Prelude Si review from North America
"Quick, nimble, and sleek, even if it's price tag is a little high"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Honda "H" emblem on the steering wheel came off.
At 191000 K'S I needed new wheel bushings.
The Heater control knob has broken twice. It's broken now, too, but I'm not fixing it.
General comments?
This is a powerful car, especially when you are in sport shift mode. It handles like a dream, although mine is lowered. The leather seats are very comfortable in the front, but I feel sorry for anyone who has to squeeze into the back. The back of the back seat is metal, so now they rattle if I face my Sub woofers toward them. My trunk rattles if I face them the other way, because My trunk lid and rear bumper is from the '91 Prelude Si.
