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.
Seats are uncomfortable for long trips.
Road noise a little loud when over 80km.
I just got my 1999 Honda Prelude. It's Jet black with black seats. I really love this car. I got it from the dealership where I work (LUXURY MOTORS Downers Grove, IL).
I really think the oil should be checked every 1500 miles due to the V-TECH burning a little oil. Other than that minor issue the car can be driven with no concern. I have seen these cars in the hands of all kinds of people, young, elderly, and of course the lead feet street runners, the one thing I can say is that they will all have trouble free driving.
