1985 Honda Prelude Si review from North America
"Fast and Fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mechanically, nothing.
Inside the dash board came a little loose and the seat are worn badly. It is an '85 thought.
General comments?
My favorite car I have ever driven.
Performance-You came put 4 people in it, and still take V8 camaros off the line.
Reliability-Honda's 2.0 Fuel Injected engine. Bulletproof. My sister got it when she started college and sold it when she graduated. In those 4 years nothing went wrong with the car.
Comfort-Great for three (two in front, one in back), though the back seat is a little small for the three seat belts that are back there.
Dealer-Never had to take it to the dealer.
Running cost-Driving it easy you could get around 30 mpg and only have to do the scheduled maintenance(oil change, timing belt).
