1995 Honda Prelude Si 2.3L from North America
Faults:
No Reverse - Dropped the clutch hard & went to reverse out of my driveway the other day, and reverse would not engage. (HOW TO FIX IT) I had someone push my car backwards while trying to get it to engage into reverse. Once it catches, repeat the steps a few time & it should work.
Revving up & down (RPM) - Once the car started & was warm, the car would idle from 700 RPM to start revving to 2500 RPM back & forth. (HOW TO FIX IT) Replaced fast idle control valve; easy fix.
The car burns oil.
Burns premium gas.
Sunroof rattles while open.
General Comments:
1995 HONDA PRELUDE Si.
This car is fun! Back seats are for looks, really no space. Seats are comfortable, Electronic dash, Quick on acceleration! Car gets looks from others, sporty.
Would recommend this car for someone looking for a reliable, fast car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I am the original poster of this review.
As an update - I sold the vehicle earlier this year, because all good things must come to an end.
No, the Prelude did not fail me once.
I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 years and 56,000 km with it, but it was simply time to move into a newer vehicle.
Hands down the best vehicle from the 90's that I have owned in terms of fun, reliability and economy.
I sold it in much better shape than I had purchased it in. I can only hope that the current owner enjoys it as much as I did.
Kudos to Honda for building one marvelous machine.
