The 1985 model year saw the introduction of a new trim level, the Honda Si. The Si was more powerful and chock full of luxury features.
The base 1985 Honda Prelude came with a 100-horsepower, 1.8-liter four cylinder engine. The Si upgraded to a 2.0-liter. It also had a spoiler and plenty of interior features, like power windows and doors, cruise control, and a graphic equalizer on the sound system.
The 1985 Honda Prelude has many loyal fans who say the car is very reliable, gets good gas mileage, and looks good inside and out. Some drivers have had problems with peeling paint, and many complain that the back seat is too small.
4.4 Overall rating
(14 reviews)Quality and dependable. Low maintenance. Easy to find parking and handles great. It's like driving a go-kart! Decent trunk space for it's size, back seat leg room is non-existent. Easy on gas. Cost about 25 bucks to fill-up at today's gas prices of $2.79/gal
This car is tough as steel. My father bought it as my first car in 1990, in 2007 old red went to Honda Heaven. Needs cylinder head, but i'm bringing it back from the dead this summer by replacing the cylinder head. Has 270935 miles and counting. Timing Belt is perfect, Transmission still shifts, battery cable is fine and not corroded. This car is indestructible!
this car was super fast for an 85
Coolest car i've ever owned and just bought another two days ago. Only 75k from new! Styling, handling superb. This has no rust. So advanced for its time. Incredibly reliable. Live in UK. Prefer to my HRV any day. It has electric ariel,windows,sunroof and all work as new! Far superior quality to a 1.8 Golf (i think they are called 'Rabbits' in US). The car is incredibly comfortable and relaxing to drive and motor is sublime. Handling was trated next to a Porsche when it was launched. best view is from the side. Oh and pop up lights are so cool.
My baby needs a new paint job (stripped to metal), bushings needs to be replaced, sunroof needs repairs. But despite of these, i love the car so much, not only that this car is handsome to drive, it gives me superior stopping power and excellent handling. Man, that's a 24 yr old car right there!
