1993 Honda Prelude Si 2.2i Vtec

Summary:

Affordable sports car that looks great

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

The car comes into it's own once the 5200 RPM mark is passed.

Rear seating is cramped, which is to be expected in any sports coupe.

The 4 wheel steering is essential for those awkward parking spaces as the car seems to have a large turning circle.

1993 Honda Prelude Si 2.2 V-tec

Summary:

A spaceship on wheels

Faults:

Has a small seepage of engine coolant from the rear of the head gasket, but it's been like that since I bought the car.

General Comments:

Usual Honda ultra reliability.

The world's most amazing noise when the engine comes on cam at 5200rpm, but the fuel doesn't last long at those revolution's.

Everyhting is electric , very comfortable multi adjustable electric seats.

Climate control can be a bit either toasting or freezing, difficult to set to a mid range temperature.

4 Wheel Steering just superb for all driving.

Traction control superb in wet weather, even better in deep snow, it just keeps going no matter how deep or steep the hill.

Original stereo system is good when working, especially with the 13 speaker Digital surround Sound Processor, My autochanger's constantly playing up.

Handling nothing outstanding, it is a heavy car though, even although it's a coupe.

Automatic gear box is extremely lazy and very unpredictable at changing gears itself, you have to use the gears manually to go quicker.

Only real pain is it likes the juice, averages 26mpg, treating it easy.

Mate, I don't know where you got all that weird crap from, all 1993 Honda Preludes did NOT come with 4-wheel steering, 1988-1991 models had 4-wheel steering. And traction control? Where did you pull that from? They don't have traction control.

Some preludes do have traction control, the import si I am buying at the moment does, I`m curious to hear that you feel the car does not handle well, when it has won so many acclaims to its brilliant handling...
