1999 Honda Prelude Type-SH review from North America
"Very nice, quick car with a lot of potential with the H22 engine (some have pumped 700+)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pump due to the last owner NOT putting in Honda Quality fluid. This was at 64,000 miles.
This was also the only problem with this car so far.
General comments?
This is a very clean, solid car. Performs well with a 5 speed. Vtec kicks in at about 5000rpm, which Is very fun. The handling is very smooth and predictable especially with the ATTS (active transfer torque system), and the normal under steer that front drivers have is minimal. The back seats are siutable but are small for long trips (four total). Front is very roomy and the stock honda cd system is fine.
