Only normal wear and tear. CV boots/drive axles replaced at 135K
Seats have small tears were the leather is perforated. This car has been exellent and I beat the crap out of it daily. But, what do expect, it`s a HONDA.
Oh, I almost forgot I had to replace the oxygen sensor too.
The fourth generation Prelude VTEC is a smooth docile car in commuting, maintaining good gas mileage, and street presense. But when you feel like it you can take most freeway interchanges and loops at double the speed advised. This is an extremely quick car from the factory (I ran a 14.8 second 1/4 mile at 93.7mph stock), so naturally, on the freeway, you can get going 85-90mph without even realizing it. At 5000 rpm hold on to the wheel because the VTEC will cause torque steer do to a lack of a limited-slip differential in the U.S. models.
I have a 93 si non vtec that has the h23 in it and I love the torque that car has. have you ever driven one and do you think it would be worth it to swap to the vteck? This is my first Honda and so far I am very impressed. I had a ford ZX2 before this and its 120 Hp doesn't hold a candle to my prelude. She cuts corners better accelerates faster and drives better then that ford ever did. not bad for a car that is 6 years older.
