1982 Honda Prelude review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear break drums and front brake pads wore out at 170,000 miles.
New starter at 145,000 miles.
Replaced Interior panel and stereo at 140,000 miles.
Of course new tires and oil changes just for insurance every 3,000 miles.
General comments?
Paid $375.00 for busted up yet very reliable Prelude.
Most reliable car that I have ever owned.
Awkward looking with a heart of an Ox.
Believe it or not they had sunroofs in 1982!
Slow torque between first and second gears.
Gets you to A and B without any worries.
Considered to be Rags to Riches by friends.
