Author's Review
I have always driven smaller cars, and have always liked the Prelude. I drove a friend's 1988 Prelude and instantly fell in love. When the body redesign happened in '92, I thought the look was unique, but it took away from the wide, low features that made the Prelude special.
While I was driving my 1996 Mustang, (the worst car I have ever owned) I passed a 1997 silver Prelude, and I was so happy that, while staying true to the historically low and wide body style, Honda was able to come up with a fresh looking vehicle with touches of the old.
I finally purchased my own silver Prelude in 2001, and my boyfriend, already having owned an SH back in 1998, then a Mercedes, decided he wanted to go back to the Prelude.
3 years later, we have roughly 30k on each car, and they run perfectly.
The only downside is that, when we are ready to purchase new vehicles, there will be no Prelude!
