Two models were available. Base engine was a 135-horsepower 2.2-liter four. The sporty Si carried a new 2.3-liter twin-cam four, rated at 160 horsepower. Either engine may drive a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. New all-electronic 4-wheel steering marked the Si 4WS model. With this setup, rear wheels turn slightly in the same direction as the fronts, to improve cornering and maneuverability. A driver-side airbag was standard on all Preludes, while the Si 4WS added a passenger-side airbag. Antilock braking was standard on the Si, but not available on the S edition. Less

by jbrittontitan , Jul 31, 2001

Pros: Honda Dependability, Handsome (albeit conservative) exterior
Cons: Price makes the Prelude poor competition, interior finishes need moved upmarket
The Bottom Line: While the Prelude certainly has a lot to recommend it, similar money will purchase the more luxurious Accord coupe. generations of Prelude disappointed.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: If you have read the very first opinion I ever posted on this site, then you know what a fan I am of the Honda Prelude. MY Honda Prelude that is--a 1990 SI that has provided almost 11 years of trouble-free and enjoyable service to myself and one...
