1988 Honda Prelude SI 4WS review from North America

Air conditioner doesn't blow cold sometimes. It could be working well on one trip, turn it off and back on and it doesn't get cold no more. Let it rest then it blows cold again. It's got me. But then again it's amazing that it works at all.

I bought this car from a dealership that used the car as a go for car. The dealer got it on a trade and it had so many miles on it he didn't put it up for sale. Instead he used to travel around to do business. The dealer put 10,000 miles on it and used it everyday. I saw the car sitting in the street one day and noticed it had 4WS. I asked him if I could drive it. He said yes. Loved the car the very first drive. Had to have it. I offered him 2K he said OK. Now it's mine.

This car still runs excellent and it drives excellent. Have had a number of cars in the past. Some of them were other Honda models. This car is it. It's not real fast but it's fun to drive. The steering is precise. The manual gear box is sweet. I drive a 136 miles every day and I am comfortable in the seat.

As far as maintenance goes, I've changed the oil once already and flushed refilled the radiator. A new Honda is about 26K for this model. That buys a lot of maintenance. I'll take an old Honda anyday.
