Honda Prelude 2.2 VTi 2d (1997/P) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Comes with everything.
Costs
Fuel, tyres, servicing predictably quite expensive. My Insurance was less than Nissan 200SX more than BMW 328i.

On the road
Driving
Amazing handling. Four wheel steering a bit weird to start with but now I love it! Sequential shift is great.
Performance
Fantastic acceleration and the engine noise makes it feel ten times as fast!

Living with it
Reliability
So far, very reliable. Only one problem with leaky oil seal. Major service found no faults.
Image
With bodykit, wheels and leather it definitely turns heads. Without it isn't quite mean enough.
Comfort
Loads of room in the front. Seats OK. Bit tight in the back. Air-con is nice in summer.

Security and Service
Security
Has an immobiliser. Could maybe do with more.
Service
Dealer was not the greatest. Servicing from manufacturer is very good so far.
