    Honda Prelude Review, For Sale, Specs, Models & News in Australia

    FROM
    $3,740

    The Honda Prelude is a sporty four-seater coupe that was made between 1978 and 2001.

    The second generation Prelude was a huge leap forward both in styling and engineering, gone was the small stumpy look and in was a design that had hints of ’80s American sport cars such as the Corvette. The second gen also added a 16-valve double overhead cam 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine. The third-gen was given four-wheel steering and a sleeker look with a little bit of NSX supercar in its styling.

    Finally in 2001 Honda discontinued the Prelude when the new-gen Honda Integra arrived.

    The line-up currently starts at $3,740 for the Prelude Si and ranges through to $6,600 for the range-topping Prelude VTi-R ATTS.

    Honda Prelude FAQs

    Torn between two cars

    I LIKE the more sporty two-door Prelude, but can understand the practical appeal of the Commodore. Both will have high odometer readings, so you will need to choose carefully, particularly in the case of the Honda, which is more inclined to suffer if not well serviced.

    Going sporty at 41

    WHEN you say Supra and Skyline, I take it you mean imported models rather than the older models sold here when new. If so, I recommend you don't buy either of these unless you are car-minded and have a friendly mechanic who can fix them if they break down. Go for a Prelude or Celica -- both are stylish coupes, well built, making the sort of statement you want. If you want a real sports car then you can't go past a Mazda MX5.

    Matter of timing

    ARE you feeling lucky, Linda? Even though you haven't done a high mileage, the timing belts still deteriorate over time. The consequences of breaking a belt on a Honda don't bear thinking about. The result will be expensive repairs to the engine's internals. I'd replace the belt as it's well over five years old.
