1989 Honda Prelude 2.0si 4ws review from North America

"I do not have the vocabulary to explain how wonderful this car really is"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Mostly just the alternator has gone bad. too much stress under high rpms, underdrive pullies are my next upgrade.

General comments?

Extremly reliable, extremly shocking. its funny to see the look on peoples faces when a 15+ year car with more than 200,000

miles slingshots buy them in a blur of f1 style fury. even more fun when your friend next to you is freaking out because he has never been 140 miles per hour and has never seen so many other cars hit their limit like it's a brick wall. my girlfriend convinced me to buy this car, was looking at something else, but then I test drove this car, it had features and capabilities I thought you had to spend more that $200k

to get. all wheel disk brakes/ independent suspension/steering. all buttons are within reach, unlike my 1998 nissan altima, and the prelude doesn't squeek at all and the nissan does, with only 50k miles! I love my prelude to the point that I named her Veronika, she is red with black interior. my friend has a black 1991 prelude named Vanessa. I have also come across a yellow 1989 prelude that I am trying to acquire, all original 80k miles, perfect in every way. there were supposedly 160k of this model made and most are in junk yards. if you see one of these cars, DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY!! you will be satisfied, your significant other may not be because this car incites an obsession, I have not met a single person who has owned one of these and has gone back to driving anything else, but another prelude.
