Overview
The 1987 Honda Prelude, the last in the landmark second generation Prelude, remained unchanged for the model year.
The base 1987 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.
Drivers say the 1987 Honda Prelude is fun to drive, lasts forever, and looks good. The only complaints are about the tiny back seat and lack of cup holders.

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!

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.

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.

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...
