This Prelude was my first import. I loved owning this car! And I would still have it to this day if a drunk driver had not hit me. I was very impressed with the handling and the way it would handle turns. This car became my "dream car" and still is to this day. My present car is a lot like it... Acura Interga. I drove this car across the US a few times. I was very happy with my "lude".
My '87 prelude died when a 19 year old drunk driver hit it (that happened in 2000). I'm still weeping. I loved my car! Wishing Honda didn't discontinue the Prelude.
I've owned 5 preludes, and the black '87 SI was my favorite car by far. It was fun to drive. A teenager hit it and totalled it. It broke my heart. I don't think any car will measure up.
