When I was younger my friends all wanted a prelude, but i was too young to car except in video games, but when I got my Prelude I fell in love with it. Reliable, beautiful styling and scary fast after a little bit of work. I would reccomend this car to anyone who asked. She's a beautiful car, inside and out

I don't know WHAT in the hell these people, complaining "no power", are talking about!! I've had mine for 10 years, with 92,000 on it now. No RAM or Turbo system. No chips. The only change is a K&N air filter and mine will still do 0-60mph in 8+seconds!! I don't know what they expect from a 24 year old 4 cylinder?!? It's not a 2018 R-type!! Aside from that, it's a great car & fun as hell to drive (120mph go-cart). The major downsides to this car are wheel well rust & finding parts for it. Honda no longer makes parts & the OEM parts you can find are very pricey! Shop thoroughly. And if you plan on owning one for a while. I suggest looking for a good cheap donor car, to buy for parts.

I have driven everything from old muscle cars, to new Vettes and even a '96 Viper GTS. I must say that I love this car, overall, more than those. At least for the money. I get 31MPG with the A/C on!! How can you beat that? I have always loved how the car looks too. It's just got an "evil" look when viewed from the front.

I bought this car with 127000 miles on it. The car has been amazing. Nothing but normal service needed at 176000 miles. Runs great. I have never added a drop of oil Fun to drive. The car is driven every day and this includes a good bit of stop and go driving. Amazing vehicle. Only problem is a bit of paint fading from sitting out in the open all theise years.
