1988 Honda Prelude Si review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mostly brakes. Liliputian-like parts design for an ATV. Steering and suspension components hardly resist rough roads (let's say Canadian roads). Suggest high quality replacement parts (prices range from $39.99 to $125 for a tie rod end).
General comments?
Feels strong. Fit and finish deserves high marks but seats aren't designed for six footers.
