Main Relay pooped out
Passenger side CV boot was replaced
Vent controller rod detached
Interior light was flaky
Don't know the mileage when these things happened because the odometer didn't work.
Although I had a lot of little things go wrong with this car, it was the love of my life. It was very fun, especially cornering with the 4WS.
It was very reliable apart from the main relay incident. If you are not familiar with that, it's when your car won't start when it's hot in the cabin area. After that was replaced I had no starting problems. It would idle rough, I think, due to a stuck EGR valve.
The gas mileage is pretty good (26 hwy, 22 city) for the 160 hp you get out of it.
I have a few suggestions if you are planning to buy a Prelude. 1st, go with the manual tranny. The automatic is a manual wannabe. It shifts kind of rough to give you a more sporty feel. But if you want the sporty feel, get the manual! 2nd, Get a 'lude with a Vtec. You get 30 more horsies and the same fuel economy.
Overall, I would buy another Prelude in a heartbeat!
Hey nice review, I love preludes, I'm thinking of buying a 93 auto tranny, is the tranny really bad? cuz I can't drive manual's cuz of health reasons.
Good review! I am looking to buy me a Honda Prelude, but I still don't know too much about it. Is it reliable? Is it fast? I want a sporty type of car that is fast (at least pretty decent fast) but can carry more than 3 people, is good on gas and looks good. Do you think this can be the car for me?
