1984 Honda Prelude Preview summaryImage

The 1984 Honda Prelude got rear disc breaks to match the front, but other than that, the sporty coupe stayed mostly the same from the previous year, when it was totally redesigned.

The 1984 Honda Prelude had a 100-horsepower, 1.8-liter four cylinder engine, which was quite respectable in those days. The 1983 Honda Prelude came in one trim level and had the option of a five-speed manual transmission or a three-speed automatic. Though it was billed as a four-seater, the back seat was suited for children only.

Drivers were still very enthusiastic about the 1984 Honda Prelude in its second year of its second generation. Drivers said it was designed well inside and out, with a high-tech suspension that made it fun to drive. Some drivers, especially those who are still driving their Preludes today, say the engine could use more power.

I loved that car. It was a horse and at 287k, I finally parted with it. Steering was great, brisk and peppy. Not fast like a turbo or a muscle car, more nimble and smooth. I really liked the sunroof and the pop-up headlamps. Car is most highly recommended(and missed). My '93 Integra is very similar, but not quite the same.Feb 19, 2010

An automatic sports car with e-injection, PAS, ABS, e/window, e/sunroof, CD-player and everything, sounds good? It's going to be a total disaster if you paid 400 quid for all these, guaranteed... Everything didn't work as properly as it should have. Although the engine and brakes were quite good, it drunk over 35 litres of petrol for every 100 km, which means nearly 50p for a mile... I'd be better off taking a taxi instead!Mar 22, 2008
