1998 Honda Prelude VTi-R review from Australia and New Zealand
"Brilliant car and would recommend to anyone considering buying one."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch bearing was dry, but to be expected of a 7 year old car. Replaced by dealer under warranty at no cost to me.
The VTEC engine tends to burn oil and levels should be checked ever 1500km or so.
General comments?
Seats are uncomfortable for long trips.
Road noise a little loud when over 80km.
