That generation of Prelude has a pretty poor reputation. Apparently it wasn't as well engineered as other Honda models. As much as like the way the 91 'Lude looks I'll prolly never have one. Granted, that isn't the reason cr4zymofo went through so many of them. And Oldsmoboat, I pretty much agree with M4H that technology makes horsepower more easily then displacement. How else do you explain big block V8's under 200 horses and 2L 4 bangers with 200.

Actually, I never had any mechanical or powertrain problems with those Ludes (One of them I drove to over 100Ks before having done anything major, and I have a lead foot). A lot of people say that they have transmission problems, but I didn't experience any. I thought that for it's time, the 87-91 circa Ludes offered a lot for the money. I even had on of those 4 wheels steering Lude (the 91 model), and I'd have to say, it had the sharpest steering of any car (besides the Porsche at that time). And you're right... neither malfunctions nor defects in craftsmanship were the reasons of those Ludes demise. 😉

I should clarify. People don't like to build those cars because there are better platforms to start with. If I can remember where I read about the actual reasoning I'll post it here. Mechanically it should just be like every other Honda🙂
 
i dunno if i already mentioned this, but i've gone through a '98 civic lx and a '03 civic lx...

next car probably WON'T be a honda though...they're solid cars no doubt, and reliability is never an issue, but i want a fun car dammit 🙂 (240sx/rx7/impreza/etc)
 
2002 Civic SI (EX in US)
2000 Accord Coupe EX
another car that changes almost weekly (only hondas cuz my mom works there)... we got the NSX and a S2000 a couple of times and we currently have a MDX
 
Yawn....I need a 98 Honda Accord driver side front door...if any of you have it, please PM me 🙁
I hate accident!
