  Great handling, but not enough power! - 1998 Honda Prelude
  By Street Racer - January 29 - 2:00 am

  Prelude SH, it grips on to the road like a lion hunting for its prey, but runs like a buffalo. Too heavy and not enough horse power to support its weight. I drive my prelude 7 days a week, averaging 90 miles a day, and I drive it hard. Only problem with the car, engine makes flapping sound between 1200-2300 RPM. A common problem for prelude engine. My previous 98 Mitsubishi Eclipse Gs-T had better performance with less price tag. If you want great handling car, Prelude SH is the one for you.

  unbeatable performance/reliability value - 1998 Honda Prelude
  By chuckyr - January 22 - 2:00 am

  Want a car that doesnt look like every other boy racer yet fits four, handles as well as any front wheel driver, is fast, gets decent mileage (when youre not blasting around), and is 100% reliable? There is no better choice.

  Great Car - 1998 Honda Prelude
  By ludelover - January 7 - 2:00 am

  This is really a great car. Low end is somewhat lame, but past 4-5,000 it is a blast! Interior is typical Honda. (Simple and efficient.) Definately fun to drive if you like the high revving type cars.

  Best Sport Compact on the market - 1998 Honda Prelude
  By John_C - November 24 - 2:00 am

  I have had my 98 lude for a little over two years and is the funest stock sport compact I have ever owned. I put 12,000 miles on the car annually and not a single mechanical problem yet to date!!!! This car handles well with the stock suspension, fast as hell off the line -- especially if you take it to the red line. Styling is sleek and the ride is firm and comfortable Like the title says, best sport compact on the market not only because it looks great, is fast and fun to drive, but because it displays the reliability you would expect from a Honda!!

  Preludes: The Ultimate 4 Cylinder - 1998 Honda Prelude
  By XxPrelude98xX - November 21 - 2:00 am

  With 200 hp 156 lbs of torque, this car hauls. Its fast and ist a tiny little civic. Preludes are a collectible, not a me too car as civics and integras are. Great styling, great engine, good looks, and good stock sound system. Only 4 cyl id rather have is the $10,000 more s2000.

  Love After All These Years - 1998 Honda Prelude
  By chefjefe - October 18 - 2:00 am

  My Lude has been with me for 4 years now. 70K miles later, I still get giddy every time the tach winds past 5,200 rpm. I have added a AEM intake, stainless header, and SuperSprint Exhaust, which has added to the fun both power and sound-wise. The acceleration and handling are still there, and the car is as stylish and comfortable as ever. A true winner!

  Look no further.... - 1998 Honda Prelude
  By RudeLude - October 1 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned my 98 for a year and a half now. Ive put major miles on it and STILL not a darn thing wrong with it. Its too good of a car. The low rpm power is minimal, but after 3grand (especially after 5 grand...LOOK OUT!!!) The H22A those fine engineers over at Honda put into this classy lil chassis is top notch! It is a shame that Honda was stupid and discontinued the Lude. Oh yeah....did i mention the HANDLING??? One word-MINT!

  I love my car! - 1998 Honda Prelude
  By mbell42 - September 16 - 2:00 am

  Vroom. Great handling in all types of weather. Even nice on long trips. The Sport-shift in the base automatic gives you the fun of a manual without all the annoyances in rush-hour traffic (no clutch!).

  Fun for the Money - 1998 Honda Prelude
  By TMac - July 12 - 2:00 am

  I have owned my Prelude since 2000 and have only minimal complaints. This is the fastest stock car in its class. Its fast off the line and handles great. The V-Tech engine adds extra excitement beyond 5000 rpms too! If youre thinking about buying this car, you better get a stick shift.

  Not to Shabby!! :) - 1998 Honda Prelude
  By P. H. - June 23 - 2:00 am

  Have used in a roadrace application. Still very durable and dependable. Good high speed stability. Great every day driver, good balnce between suspension handling and comfort.
