Overview & Reviews

Prelude gets another five horsepower, bringing it up to 200 horsepower with the manual transmission and 195 horsepower with the automatic. A remote keyless entry system is added, as is an air filtration system, mesh-style grille and new interior color choices.

• Lots of power, distinctive styling, and room for four.

• Limited headroom, and the Accord has a more attractive interior.

  Porsche Quality Honda Price - 1999 Honda Prelude
  By Gulfstream - June 27 - 2:00 am

  The Prelude is a brilliant all around sports car. Its fun to drive (especially when the VTEC engine kicks in), and can get you from 0-60 quite quickly. It offers most of the technology that you find on Porsche Boxers without the Porsche price and the mechanical quirks that Porsche has. You will give up head room (fine for me at 5 7" not so great for someone over 6) and its not a "family car." Everything is "race-tuned" so dont expect a "down comforter" type ride. The "fun" factor will make up for this.

  Best Car I have owned - 1999 Honda Prelude
  By tdsd - June 17 - 2:00 am

  I have owned Bug eyed Sprites, MGB, TR4,Lotus Turbo Esprit, 1964 Mustang, Dodge 1967 R/T, and many other performance cars. I worked for a Mercedes and BMW dealership picking up cars for service. I drove almost every model they make. I can only say the my 1999 Prelude is more fun to drive than any other car I have owned or driven. It is just fun.

  Fun car to drive - 1999 Honda Prelude
  By im4funx - April 4 - 3:00 am

  This is the 4th new car I have owned and by far it is the best. As my car comes up on the 60000 mile mark it still drives like a dream. As a former muscle car owner (camero z28, mustang gt) I can tell you the pleasure of this car far exceeds them. And the gas mileage makes my 30 mile commute alot more fun. I have not had a single mechanical problem with this car(except I blew out a speaker rocking out to the stereo). I only wish it was still in prodution so I could buy a new one when the time comes.

  Renaissance Coupe - 1999 Honda Prelude
  By ItsaMeMario - March 15 - 2:00 am

  As my faithful coupe approaches 60,000 miles, I began to reflect on the time weve spent together (cue the sentimental music...) Glancing at the Prelude, I concluded that Honda engineers set out to design a sporty coupe that could handle the rigorous demands a driving enthusiast would muster during ownership. Hmm, so what are the daily observances that quench my thirst for excitment? A comparatively torquey inline-4 from Honda which comes alive above the infamous camshaft change point. Amazing Handling - easily the Preludes strongpoint, ATTS gimmickry is actually a reality. I personally vouch for its predictability over overall comfort.

  Best car Ive had so far - 1999 Honda Prelude
  By Alexusf - October 9 - 2:00 am

  This car handles better than a BMW on curves, Its close proximity to the ground helps it stick to the road, and its wide body helps keep it balanced at alla times.

  Best Honda ever!! - 1999 Honda Prelude
  By Joe Kinney - September 25 - 2:00 am

  The 5th generation Prelude is the best looking Honda ever built. It strikes the perfect balance between the conservative lines of the Accord and the edgy aggressiveness of the NSX. Sure . . . it could do with a bit more low-end power, but it has plenty of juice for just about any situation you can imagine. Whats more important -- its REFINED power. 110 MPH feels more like 55 and theres almost no body roll to speak of. I was saddened when Honda decided to discontinue this exceptional line . . . but, I GOT MINE!!! I suggest you do the same.

  i love my prelude - 1999 Honda Prelude
  By j0n! - August 1 - 2:00 am

  why do people bash on the interior of the prelude? its got the bare essentials...all that luxory crap is just extra weight anyways. yes, i agree the cupholders are terrible, thats why i got JDM cupholders that came off a prelude type-s. the body shape is awesome, people say they hate the rectangular headlights, but i love them...doesnt look like every other civic on the road. 200hp 4 banger, what more can you ask for?
