Honda Prelude Usados en Venta

The last generation Honda Prelude is a gifted, though eccentric, sports coupe. Developed through previous generations as a test-bed for Honda technology, this last iteration continues the trend, showcasing the ATTS superior handling system (Type-SH) driven by the spunky 200HP H22A motor. In addition to the vehicle's performance, the angled looks of the car body has always been an attractive sight to see. Unfortunately though, the car is simply a coupe, and a small one at that. Practicality suffers, as the backseats are nearly useless, and usable space within the car is fairly low overall. If you can get past the practicality issues, the car drives and handles quite well, and has always been fun for me.

I feel as though the build of the Prelude is solid as the infrastructure can take a few bumps and bruises but continues on like a champion. It has over 180,000 miles, and I have never had any major issues aside from little parts here and there, which are expected from an older vehicle. The acceleration is quite responsive, and it feels smooth driving with regular maintenance. Since it is a Honda, it is quite reliable as I have had it for over four years with very minor issues to this point. The fuel it takes is premium, but for the top model of its class it makes sense. The outside style is a bit boxy, but that is my preferred look. The front end is a bit longer with cube styled headlights, and the rear is a bit shorter with a small spoiler. I like the look because it is similar to the S2000, but a bit more practical in terms of affordability and style. For a two-door car, I felt that the space inside was quite adequate, and I was able to fit a number of items at one time. I am an avid snowboarder, and I was able to fit my snowboard, bindings, boots, and accessories inside the interior without having to adjust anything.

The prelude could've been a good car if the previous owner had taken the time to properly maintain it. But, since it was not taken care of (and it has several defects already), it had a number of issues. The gas mileage was great, which is pretty much the only advantage to the car. It was smaller in size so it was also easier to park than a larger car, I guess. But the engine had some issues. It had a defect that was well publicized by other Honda Prelude owners. The air sensor had a large amount of carbon build up, causing it to rev up unexpectedly and consume more gas than it should. The muffler had at least one hole in it, so it was much louder than it should have been. On the roof and doors of the car, the paint had begun to peel very badly - I think from prolonged exposure to UV radiation from the sun. It had multiple sensors that were prone to malfunction and the brakes failed sooner than they should have. But despite all these issues, it did still manage to run and drive much longer than we expected.
