Jan 16, 2006 (A Helpful review)

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fast, Handles well, sporty, sexy looks.
Cons: a bit tight in passenger and cargo room, Cop Magnet
The Bottom Line: If you don't have a lot to lug around with you, it's a very fun people mover.

This is the third Car I've ever owned. My first was a 1961 Chevy Impala 4-door. A huge car with a huge engine. Unfortunately, it just needed too much constant work and TLC just to keep going, so it got very expensive for my wallet and my time. I ... read more

Pros: Great Handling Dynamics, Smooth Engine, Looks, Fun Honda
Cons: Back Seat Torture, Plastic Radiator, Top Speed

A Perfect 10

Apr 7, 2003 - Updated Apr 8, 2003 (A Helpful review)

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Reliability, looks, handling, resale value. Did I mention reliability?
Cons: Dashboard clock light is not adjustable...sometimes difficult to see.
The Bottom Line: For 1992, this was the best sports car built for our roadways. 11 years later, mine still runs flawlessly. This car looks great, drives great, and is unmatched in reliability!!

I bought my 1992 Honda Prelude Si automatic new, off the lot. It's been running excellently for 11+ years now, with no major problems. In fact, the only thing I've ever done besides filling the tank, changing the oil, and getting recommended tune-up's, ... read more

Jan 25, 2003 - Updated Mar 24, 2003 (A Helpful review)

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great looks, Great handling, and just the right amount of horsepower.
Cons: Tiny back seats, fragile front suspension, price can drop fast after purchase
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a fun ride, treat yourself with a Prelude, but if a cheap-running family car's what you want, go elsewhere.

The 1992 Prelude is my first car. I was absolutely thrilled about it when i first got it, and I still am (It's been a year since i bought it). Every time I jump behind the steering wheel feels like heaven. Steering is very accurate (this baby can turn on ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: handling, great driving "feel", looks.
Cons: not the fastest car from 0-60, nor does it have the best mpg.
The Bottom Line: This is a great sport compact, and it fits the category like no other car on the market. It is sporty, and compact.

Overview the 1992 Prelude is the first of the 4th gen preludes, and its an absolute blast to drive. The first thing that strikes you when you get in is the low down driver position (although i was adjusting from driving a RAV4) and the ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No 

Pros: Eye-Appealing, excellent handling, very sporty and comfortable
Cons: Breaks down quite a bit
The Bottom Line: With the money I put into repairs and unreasonable maintenance I would have been better off buying new.

Ok, so I find myself in need of a dependable new car. Since my champagne taste often conflicts with my beer budget I do some research and find that not only is the Honda Prelude a very well known, reputable car, it is definately something to make a head ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Nice body style. Excellent handling. Good Acceleration in 5spd.
Cons: No cup holder and small trunk space.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a reliable car, buy a Honda Prelude. It is just as reliable as a Honda Civic, only it looks much better.

Back in 1994 I worked at a pharmacy as a delivery boy. I was 19 years old and drove an old 84' Camaro Z28 I had spent nearly $6000 on performance parts for. So needless to say, I was a hardcore V8 horsepower buff for years. Anyways, the pharmacist I ... read more

I bought my 1992 Honda Prelude as a used car in 1995. At the time it had about 30,000 miles on it. I'll be honest, I was just a young college freshman at the time and the main thing that attracted me to the car was it's looks. It had everything. It ... read more

Pros: Everything about it (execpt what's in the Cons part)
Cons: Getting in and out (but that also gives it the glove feel) Back seats are for little kids only (then again it's not a taxi, it's a sports car!)

Ok, first you walk over to it, the Prelude is heaven for your eyes, looks nice with good curves without the 2000 Celica spaceship look. Next you open the door and take a seat in the car (well I admit climbing in is sort of like climbing through a jungle ... read more
