1992 Honda Prelude S review from North America
"Sporty, fuel efficient, well built, good performer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all.
General comments?
This particular Prelude is the base "S" model. Equipped with the F23 SOHC Accord motor, it doesn't have the power of the SR or SR-V Vtec model, but makes up in an excellent driving, smooth, quiet, extremely reliable, very fuel efficient sporty car. The car still goes well with good torque.
The car handles very well; flat and composed.
Reliability has been excellent, compared to the old Mazda MX6 of the same year, the Prelude hasn't had any problems at all.
The interior features a futuristic wrap around dash that grew on us. The seats and carpet have shown very little aging due to the excellent materials used. The original paint is still very glossy.
