1989 Honda Prelude Si review from North America
"This is an amazing car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cracked radiator right after I bought it.
Had to rebuild transmission (kind of my fault though) at around 80000 miles.
4 new tires at 82000 miles.
If you get an oil change regularly, you should have no problem with this car.
General comments?
This is an amazing car for me. My first car was a hand-me-down GMC Suburban. I bought this car off my aunt. She lived in Chicago so the car was barely driven. I love this car though.
I say the transmission was my fault because I was stuck in the snow delivering pizzas (wonderful car for that) and I had to keep moving the transmission from drive to reverse all the time, and after that it had to be fixed.
