Great Car To Drive, When It's In Good Condition — I bet if this car was in good condition when I bought it, it would've given way better reviews.... The acceleration, braking, and handling was still on point - even with a bent rim lol. It needed serious repairs, but only because someone failed to maintain her. The appearance was beautiful. I love those pop-up light sportscars from the 80's lol. It would've been pretty decent on gas. It was great to drive while it lasted...

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros: A sporty Honda... good gas mileage and power, mixed with handling.

Cons: Avoid it if you see it sitting in a lot rather than someone driving it

A Pre Car — Ok, so it wasn't a dream car. But Hondas are built very tough, and this was a prime example. For something from '87, a lot of it was still pretty intact. The engine seemed as if a tweak here and there, and it would've performed better. Handling was ok. Lightweight makes for good project car. It was definitely a blast to drive.

Pros: Built tough. Just like all other Hondas. And it can deliver.

Cons: It's not the prettiest in the bunch

My '87 'lude & Lusicious — I Love my 1987 Honda Prelude SI! It's sporty, hugs the road, tons of fun to drive. Different enough to be noticed, but not so different as to stand out! I figured out a couple years ago that "my little car" gets like 43mpg! Awesome when the gas prices go high! I just replaced the motor & tranny (one necessary, one not) and believe it or not, I purchased both of them fully rebuilt for only $350 each!

Pros: Performance, handling, mileage, fit (for me), "flip for me" hood & headlights

Cons: WHAT??? NOT ON MY BABY??!!!

Great Car, If You Get One In Good Condition. — Awesome braking, accelerating, and handling, even as a 2.0 S trim. Engine was a bad design however. a Honda mechanic once told me it was "the worst engine Honda has ever made". Carb is known go bad by 100k miles. Other than the engine it had a nice interior, and an overall nice feel. I would recommend the Si trim for the better, EFI'd engine. Has "Corvette Style" flip forward hood. Extorior style is easy on the eyes, which may be moot coming from an 80's auto enthusiast.

Pros: Nice handling, braking and interior. Good driver-to-road feel.

Cons: Engine and carb notoriously unreliable in 2.0 S trim.

First Baby — Definitly would have lasted longer and treated me well if I had given it some more TLC

Pros: Quick little baby, very quick shifter.  For an older car still looked sweet and made me smile every time I looked at it.

Cons: Armstrong steering, lol.  Starting to rust and stuff but wasn't cars fault, was just getting old
