What Owners are Saying About the 1993 Honda Prelude

"1 owner bought new--great"

"I wanted one of these when i saw a friend with a 3rd Gen. Then when the 4 Gen came out i really wanted one bought mine in 1993 still own it has 93k on the odometer. Have made many upgrades, same motor 2.3 Automatic and will still squeak the tires. Love my Prelude!!"

"Absolutely, the best car."

"1992. 283,000 miles running. Great."

"Love this little car"

"I have owned my Prelude for 3 years and absolutely love it. It drives/handles and responds like you would not believe even with 142,000 it has alot of power for a 4 banger, I actually had it up to 127 miles per hour and you wouldn't even believe you were going that fast, no vibration or shimmy at all. The off the line acceleration is remarkable, I let a friend drive it once and they said that driving this car slow is like putting a cheetah on a leash. The only negative sides that I can see are no where to put any kind of drink and the back seats are only good for holding CD cases and other things. But the seats up front are able to slide enough to the rear to fit my 6'5" 250lb boyfriend without having to go all the way back, People say that your car is an extension of your personality well I never believed that until I bought this car I am a 45 year old woman and have owned too many different cars over the years but this is my first honda and as far as it being an extension of my personality well let's just say that I'm a firm believer in that comment now as this car is really me and as far as Honda well I don't think I'll own anything but a Honda from now on. Red Hot and Racey"
