Used 1990 Honda Prelude for Sale near Washington
A bit boxy, with the notchback rear, the 1990 Honda Prelude nevertheless had many fans.
The favorite descriptors for the car are "great," "cool," "fast and fun." Others include the "quintessential Japanese sports car,†and "reliable and nimble."
One driver, in obvious appreciation of the 105 hp produced by the 4-cylinder 2 liter engine said, "Yet, that was me that flew past you."
Given the age today, there aren't many 1990 Preludes around. But if you're lucky enough to find one, you can expect to pay between $100 for a parts-car to $3500 for one in very very good shape.
4.5 Overall rating
(29 reviews)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.
Let's start with the engine it's not a high rever like most hondas good tourqe from a 2 liter engine at 130 ft/lbs almost as much as the 135 hp. The transmission feels a bit sticky at times but that could be just the 200,000 plus kms the ratios in first and second are quite long. Build quality seems real well no squeeks or rattles. The back seat is rather tiny tho... The exteirior styling is really classic with it's flip up head lights and low center of gravity styling and almost has a mini firrari look to it haha even tho it ain't no firrari speed wise it could come close in handling. interior styling is a little bland but well laid out and in reach of the driver. Great visibility and no major blind spots. Cost of owning this car is Relitivly low if you maintain it properly. not the best fuel econemy for a 2.0l but it is 20 years old so for it's time it's pretty good about 25 mpg As far as fun to drive goes it's super nimble holds the road like on rails due to it's low wide stance and stiff suspension. Power is modderate all in all it's pretty fun to drive All in all i rate it 6 out of 10
This is my current project. I bought this '90 Si after my '91 got run over by a Jeep, and swapped all of the good/better parts from the '91 into this chassis, along with some new goodies. I've dumped quite a bit of money into almost every aspect of this car, but I wouldn't have it any other way, and I'll probably never be done playing with it.
great handling honda. its a really fun car to just take out on the weekends, or to even drive just to work or school. i would recommend it to anyone who was looking for a good quality car thats fun.
Great performance, a lot of pickup. I love the way that the car looks and the bucket seats are a major plus, but forget about ever trying to squeeze anyone in the back seat. It's more like a tool bench back there than a pair of seats.
