Best Practical Sports Car Out There
If you want a practical sports car, look no further. Good fuel economy, enough room to fit four people if you absolutely have to (but recommended for two - and perhaps a baby seat in the back.) Amazing handling for a front wheel drive car (Car & Driver says it is the best handling car under $30,000 - and fourth best at any price.) My car has had zero defects, zero squeaks, zero rattles, and zero problems..
Noisy Rear Suspension
This car has been nice, with the exception of a noisy rear suspension. I love the exterior styling and motor is very strong for a 2.2L. However, whenever I hit bumps, or leave a driveway, or do anything to move the rear suspension much, it squeaks and grinds. This has been fixed twice by the dealer, only to return. I am ready to take it in for a third time, before my warranty ends. I may end up trading the vehicle in since it seems to be a design flaw, rather than a repairable issue. This isn't what I expected from Honda.

2000 Honda Prelude
Numerous squeaks and rattles. Annoying wind noise around drivers door that dealership could not detect. Extremely noisy at highway speeds.
Reliable Honda?
I will NEVER own another Honda. This car burns oil....at least a quart every 1,000 miles. I've talked to my dealership numerous times (they know my face now) and I've even talked to American Honda via letters and phone calls. I am always told that this is the way the car is built and there is nothing that Honda can do for me. My low oil pressure indicator light has come on twice since I've owned the car. It's a beautiful car, but it's not reliable and I certainly don't expect it to live as long as Honda predicts their cars should last. American Honda has a failing grade from the BBB. Don't buy a Honda.
