I kept this car pretty much stock. Just a intake and muffler FML!! Had painted black Prelude Si wheels, trunk and Vis carbon fiber hood. I brought this car for $400. Alot of money was spent on this car as well. It handled like a charm. Had no problem taking a corner with the quickness lls. I had plans for this car..

Pros: Very Realiable
Cons: Slow "haha"

Totally love this car, only small niggle is that the engine doesnt really kick in till about 3000 revs, with the v-tec its not till 5000! She isnt too bad on fuel, about 35mpg and is cheap to insure because shes a 'classic' car! Love driving it, brilliant!

Pros: wicked car!
Cons: ex is the basic model so no air con but other models have it.

I own a hard to find 1990 Honda Prelude Si 4WS, which stands for four-wheel-steer. This is a rare car in the sense that preludes were only made in japan and that on this car, the front AND rear wheels steer (turn right and left). This feature makes the car fun to drive even though it is only a 4 cylinder. I bought it with only 117k miles on it which is low for an 18 year old car. It runs and drives like a dream, and if i were to get a new car, it would be another prelude.

Pros: fun to drive
Cons: Honda metal = rust

Ironically saw one of these in a local scrap yard over a weekend, by the next weekend I had bought one.
Didn't have the car long, unfortunately had to get rid of it quickly because of a company car.
Therefore I didn't have it enough time to fully appreciate. From my memories I remember it being a brilliant handler. This was due to 4 wheel steering technology which also helped when parking. The engine was still a carb so that was a first for me. It sounded well when it got up the revs. Got to hand it to Honda, their engines are built well. It took stick all night once. Right roung to 8000rpm and no faders.
Didnt have any problems with the car apart from one of the previous owners had blew up the speakers.
Wasn't the tidiest example but car was cheap, had the usual rust on the arches.
Given it an average rating, if had it longer might have been diffent. Not many of this era of them left. Should be a bargain if you can find one.  

Pros: 4 Wheel Steering = Great handling
Cons: Blown up speakers (nothing to do with me)

She was suffering a bit when I bought her June 2007...young fella before me beat her up pretty bad, can't blame him too much though...I remember driving my Dad's 5 spd Firebird when I was 16!  So we've been in a constant state of needing repairs, but being my absolute DREAM car - it's worth it - and one day she'll be racing around again...Hopefully I'll still have my teeth by then, because I'll be smilin ear to ear!

Pros: Handling & speed... makes me feel sexy damnit!  LOL
Cons: Was actually 'wrote off' in the States, rebuilt in Canada...kinda scarey, kinda creepy!
