Review
I bought this car as I loved the sleek and sporty body style plus knew of Honda's reliability. I've owned the car over 4 years and the only thing I've done is put a new battery in it. Due to my getting older I am thinking about trading it for a Tacoma but am having a very difficult time bringing myself to do it. 28 MPG on the open road and it handles so smoothly. The paint on it still has a showroom shine but I really baby the car. If anyone is looking for an incredibly sporty car that will get you looks plus the added benefit of great reliability than get yourself one of these babies. You won't be sorry.

The most excellent combination of practicality and sports coupe. My car has been a dream for the most part. I have 215,000 miles and limited maintenance. The ignition switch at 80,000 was a recall item. I didn't listen to my mechanic about flushing the tranny at every 60K, and the filter finally clogged at 170,000 miles. Otherwise, I have had no other problems. One nagging issue, is the low tires make driving in snow of more than 3" difficult and the car is very hard on tires. The sound system is incredible and the performance is very titillating for those loving speed. It's a tribute to Honda craftsmanship.

The Prelude is definitely an underestimated Honda. Very elusive compared to your Civic or Accord. Civic would be the bottom line daily driver, the Accord would be the nice family car, and the Prelude would be the slighty more exotic sports car. I get looks and compliments everywhere I go. I wouldn't trade this car for the world. If you're looking for something sporty, that also makes a great daily driver, then the Honda Prelude is definitely for you. It's fast, it's fun, and it's beautiful. What else could you ask for?

Today (1/26/05) is my fifth anniversary with this car. It has 50,790 miles, and hasn't given me a minute's trouble. 24 mpg minimum, and a lot of the time it gets 26.5 mpg. I think it's a very attractive car, perfect for short commutes. My only gripe is that it is not a very comfortable car, it's noisy, and the ride is a little rough. I can last 30 minutes at a time before I feel the need to get out and stretch. I'll be trading for something more comfortable and more useful. This is flashy personal transportation that handles well. Enough room for a week's groceries in the trunk. No room in the back seat for adults, so forget it, just fold the seat down and leave it that way.

Love the car, but big mistake buying
an automatic trans. Bought car in
April, trans burned out in June, I'm
in my late 30's so the car is stock
and I drive normal. Honda replaced
the trans under warranty, told me it
was around $5500. Too bad, should of
bought the 5 speed

I have used my Prelude SH as a long
distance commuter (250+ miles one way)
over mountain passes. It corners
incredibly and is incredible on ice
and snow. Seats are very comfortable
even for a 56 year old frustrated
wantabe sports car racer. I get an
honest 30 mpg in the summer and it
drops to 26 mpg in the winter
(oxygenated gas in our area). The
only draw back for someone my age is
that it is low to the ground and
getting hard for me to get into and
out of--but that is why it handles
sooooo great! I really love the car.
If it was a convertible it would be
perfect. Honda was crazy to stop
making Preludes.

I have always trusted Honda cars, but
the Prelude!!! Oh Lord! it is a DREAM.
It hugs corners like you wouldn't
believe living in the Bay Area I have to
cross bridges constantly. Although the
Prelude is considered a smaller car the
design of the car makes it possible to
drive right though the wind on the
briges and no more shaking. Even though
it is a sports car I actually feel safer
because it is heavier and the
aerodynamics are prefect for driving in
high wind ares. I feel sorry for those
who are foolish enough to drive anything
else! This is a car I will keep for the
ages! THANK YOU HONDA!
