1991 Honda Prelude Si review from North America

This car has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. I am 55 years old. From the day I purchased it (Sept. 1998) till today all I have done is put gas in and change the oil. The car has 177,000 miles on it now and it still runs and looks like new! Nothing has gone wrong with the car! Everything works!

The paint still looks new. People at gas stations ask me where I had the car painted. Their jaws drop when I tell them that this is the original paint. I do not have a garage, so the paint does suffer a bit in the hot sun in this part of California.

It gives me 30 miles/gallon, goes more then 400 miles on a tankfull on the highways; less in the city, may be 300 miles.

Everything works. Never had any problem. The first owner was a famous basketball player's wife. They kept the car garaged and well looked after. I am very lucky. Yes, I would buy a Honda again if I had money to spend on a new car. For now this 1991 beauty takes care of all my needs.

The timing belt was changed once by the previous owner. It got a major service at 150,000 miles before I bought it at 154,000. So I have done nothing to it so far. Oh yes, I replaced the battery and tires. I bought the best battery available DELCO 6 year and a set of Bridgestone Potenza tires.
