1984 Honda Prelude 1.8 Carb review from North America
"This Prelude Is Awesome"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has ever gone wrong.
The Paint is a little worn, but only on the rear end where it was once tail ended, and repainted by an amature painter.
The Fuse box cover was busted for about 2 days after I got it, but that's now fixed.
General comments?
This car is a very good car for any beginning driver.
I'm only 17 and this is my first car, a 1984 Honda Prelude.
So far... I'm loving this car!
For as old as it is, its got very good gas mileage, about 25-30 miles to the gallon.
Another thing I have noticed about this car, is that it has unusually low mileage for its year, which means that the previous owner has neglected this awesome car.
I'm in the midst of fixing it up a bit, getting it a new paint job, and replacing everything I can with higher performance parts.
No need to replace any Interior, because from what I see, its all in perfect condition.
I bought this car for only $500!!!
And this car is one of the best, and funnest cars I've ever driven.
It handles like a dream, and for all you kids who like street racing, I would recommend checking this car out.
It's a 3rd Generation Tuner, and it has the speed and strength to prove it.
My recommendation to anyone looking for a good Honda... GET THIS CAR!!!
