1989 Honda Prelude 2.0 Si 4ws review from North America
"Very nice car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Spark plug burnt out.
Alternator belt went loose.
Power steering went out before I bought it, so the pump was removed.
General comments?
Awesome car - it's got more power than a lot of people give them credit for. It's not exactly a Camaro or a Mustang, but the weight of the car really adds to the power. It's really easy to gain some decent horsepower too - I've put 100 dollars into it and I gained about 40hp.
Very reliable - it starts right up even in -10f degree winters.
