Faults:

My clutch is starting to slip at 83,000.

The brakes squeak a little.

The antennae doesn't retract.

My air conditioning unit isn't all that good. If I'm in neutral (at below 1000 RPM) the air conditioning unit makes the engine sound like it's dying.

There's a hole in the muffler, but I'm going to leave it there... it sounds GORGEOUS.

General Comments:

I absolutely love the way this car drives. I haven't driven many other vehicles, but this car beats the living daylights out of anything else I've ever tried.

This baby drives smoother than butter.

The turning/handling is incredible. Turning corners is literally like doing donuts.

The trunk is HUGE. I could probably fit like three to four bodies in there... I mean lots of groceries...

I have to say though that the seats aren't all that comfortable. I'm a bigger guy (like 6 feet, 220 lbs) and the racing-style seats really hug me a little tightly.

This car is strictly meant for two passengers (three is pushing it, but do-able). The backseat is beyond tiny. Legroom is non-existent.

Faults:

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this vehicle. I need to rebuild the clutch shortly. Other than that, the suspension is in excellent shape as is the engine compression and cylinder readings.

General Comments:

The handling of this car is incredible even after its fourteen years of life it is as quick or quicker than most new cars in its class. The 4WS makes cornering seem to defy gravity and this is by far the most fun I've ever had driving a vehicle. The engine is showing its legendary Honda quality and my mechanic says it's in great shape. The classic third generation Prelude shape is still a head turner and much desired after all these years.

Faults:

The head cracked from a loose cam shaft bolt. had to have it replaced.

The rest has just been mantenance.

General Comments:

This car is fast and blows away most newer cars.

I keep trying to bring my self trade it in, but I just can't do it.

Fun to do upgrades on the body and engine.

Faults:

Clutch cable broke at 5,000 miles

Much of the interior molding was either loose or detached

Coil failed at 12,000 miles

Rattling noise from the engine from inception

Alternator problems where the lights would constantly 'pulse'

General Comments:

Very minor accident on driver's side caused $$$ in repairs

Despite the higher performance engine - poor acceleration

Very poor quality / workmanship in assembly

A mechanic told me that he could see a Budweiser can on the panel that was removed after the accident.

Faults:

Replaced timing belt and rebuilt head at 254000 miles. Replaced rear brakes at 240000 miles. rebuilt transmission at 260000 miles. replaced alternator at 236000 miles replaced stereo system at 260000 miles. replaced radiator at 260000 miles. replaced retractable antenna at 260000 miles.

General Comments:

Love the 4WS. Handles better at high RPM than Lower. Bucket seats seem to wrap around me when I sit in them (makes for more confident driving).The car is very quick and handles very well in traffic.
